01x12 - Intervention

[bunniefuu]

I need to see my aunt.

May Parker.EDDIE: Room 204.

Eddie.

Why are you

Because I still remember

what a great lady she is.

When Gwen told me

Aunt May was here,

I figured it was worth

stomaching you for her sake.

Should have guessed

it wouldn't be an issue.

I mean, why would you

be here?

She's only the woman

who raised you.

Yes, she's in recovery.

In fact, she's doing

very well.

See, Peter? I told you.

Aunt May,

you had a heart attack!

A little one.Thankfully.

But you shouldn't

treat this lightly,

either of you.

We won't.

Thanks, Doc.

I am feeling much better,

now that I know

you're all right.

I'm so sorry

I wasn't here sooner.

Peter, you came

as soon as you heard.

But now it's time

for you to go.

What?It's a school day,

young man.

I just wish I had thought

to pack you a lunch

before this whole

heart thing happened.

[LAUGHING]

Excuse me, Mr. Parker?

I just need you to sign

a few forms for your aunt.

You are next of kin?

We're our only kin.

Your bill's on

the second page.

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

GWEN: Peter! How are you?

How is your aunt?Oh, Petey, I was

so worried about you.

Wait, wait.

You all know?

I spilled, tiger. Sorry.

We all just want to help.

Help? Help?

[SCOFFS] That's

a good one.

How exactly do you

plan on helping?

Do my homework?

Maybe lower my GPA?

Or borrow my camera?

Take some Spidey pics?

Because I do need the money.

I got some humongous

hospital bills to pay.

MARY JANE:

We're just trying

to be your friends.

Yeah, well, unless

my friends are prepared

to pony up some cash,

they can keep their help,

and their sympathy.

What am I even

doing here?

GWEN: Pete! Wait.

SPIDER-MAN:

We don't need friends.

We need money,

and more than that skin-flint

Jameson would ever fork over.

But he's not

the only game in town.

[WHOOSHING]

[GRUNTS]

[GROANS]

Are you quite through?

Sure, Tombie.

I've proven

my point.

Which is?

That I can still take

anything you can dish.

Which leaves

only one question.

That job offer

still on the table?

Livin' on the edge

Fighting crime

Spinning webs

Swingin' from

the highest ledge

He could leap

above our heads

Villains on the rise

And the city's victimized

I still think you'd make

an invaluable employee,

Spider-Man.

But you'll forgive me

if I'm suspicious

of your sudden

change of heart.

You need to prove

you're prepared to behave.

Fight no crime

for one week.

You have dispensation

if a super-villain

endangers public safety,

but no ordinary

crime. Deal?

Deal.

I'm afraid that's the deal.

The loss of the alien

life form

means the loss

of another grant.

The lab can no longer afford

to keep you on the payroll.

But I need that money!

Without it, I'll have to

drop out of E.S.U!

I'm sorry, Eddie, truly.

But the funds

just aren't there.

Anyone sitting here?

No. No, nobody.

I misplaced

my clique.

Sounds rough.

[SIGHS] The rough part's

not knowing how to help.

Harry's in Europe.

And Pete

You like Pete a lot,

don't you?

Well, yeah, I like Pete.

I mean, of course

I like him.

I like him,

he likes me

We like.

It's a mutual

like-fest.

That's not

what I meant.

You mean,

do I like him,

like him?

Well, what if

the answer is, "Yes"?

I get it.

You, and Pete

you've always been

"just friends."

And it's hard

to risk that.

But if that's not

what you want, girlfriend,

you'll have to step up.

Smart as he is,

Pete's not likely

to wise up.

[CHUCKLES] I mean,

he's still a guy.

Yo, bro!

You cost me my job!

Shut it!

We're tired

of your whining.

Hey, hey, hey,

what's this, now?

Shove off, Brock,

permanently.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

Gwen. Oh, crud.

What does she want

with us now?

Well, forget it.

She and Brock can attend

the "Pete's such

a disappointment dance"

together.

They sell tickets to that?

Or can anyone who thinks

you're a jerk attend?

Don't push me, Eugene.

I'm not in the mood.

Yeah, yeah.

Your aunt's sick.

Poor Puny Parker.

Even Sally

feels bad for you.

But not me.

If you're hanging up

on the she-geek,

that proves you're still

a stuck-up egghead.

[SCOFFS] A guy who can't

even see when his friends

are trying to help.

SPIDER-MAN: Okay,

if Flash Thompson's

making sense,

something must be

seriously wrong.

Why did I blow off

my friends?

M.J., Liz, and Gwen.

She's always

been there for us,

since the seventh grade.

And what about the battle

with the Sinister Six?

The one that we

slept through?

Or the fact

that we asked

Tombstone for a job?

Or the fact

that we keep thinking

"we" Instead of "I"?

It's the symbiote.

It's changing me.

It's taking over my life.

I have to get it off!

SYMBIOTE:

Stop, Pete.

Come on.

You're overreacting.

The suit, the symbiote,

it's made life better.

And there's

no one else we need.

Not M.J.,

not Gwen

Not even Aunt May?

Those weren't my thoughts!

Wait! We need

each other. Stop!

No! Move your ooze!

We will not allow

[TOLLING]

[SYMBIOTE SCREECHING]

[SCREECHING]

The bell! The vibrations!

You don't like them!

[TOLLING]

[WINCING] No, we do not

like the vibrations.

They are unpleasant.

But not enough

to destroy our bond.

We'll see about that.

Hey! I can't move!

In anger,

you sought to hurt us.

Instead, you've

made us stronger.

We shall demonstrate.

No! What's happening?

Stop! Please!

Stop!

Where am I?

What's going on?

BEN: What's going on is,

you're late for school, kiddo!

And we can't have that.

Uncle Ben?

[SIGHING] Uncle Ben.

[LAUGHING]

Haven't had a hug like this

since you were 12.

But you still need

to hustle, kiddo.

Don't want to miss

today's field trip.

It's all you've

talked about for weeks.

A field trip? Who cares

about a field trip?

Uncle Ben, you're here!

You're all right!

I'm fine, Peter.

But I've gotta get you

out the door so I can

get to work!

Forget work!

You don't know

how much I've missed you.

Is he still here?

He's here, Aunt May!

Uncle Ben's back!

I was talking

about you, Peter.

He's in

a funny mood

today, this one.

Funny mood?

Try great mood!

You're back!

We're a family again!

Can't we

Can't we just

sit for a second?

There's so much I need

to tell you both.

And you can tell us

later, kiddo.

Wait! Don't

Don't go!

Isn't this exciting?

Sure, if you like things

that crawled out from

under a rock.

Or if you are one!Ow!

[GUFFAWING]

PETER: The field trip.

The field trip!

And over here,

we have E.S.U.'s

collection of spiders,

all genetically altered

to combine the most

impressive traits

from multiple species

into 15 super-spiders.

Um, there are only 14.

One's missing.

Huh. My husband must have

removed it for further study.

PETER: It's happening

all over again.

This time, I'll stop it.

This time, I have to stop it.

Then everything can go back

the way it's supposed to.

And Uncle Ben will be

[EXCLAIMS]

Not again.

Not again!

[HEART BEATING]

What's happening to me?

[HEART BEATING RAPIDLY]

PETER: I feel different.

[HONKING]

[CARS HONKING]

I'm sticking.

And I'm climbing!

But human beings

can't do all this.

We can't.

[SCREAMING]

Okay, we have to stay calm.

This will work.

It's gotta!

This rocks!

I mean, imagine

what we can do

with this power!

Who dares

test their skill,

their strength,

their stamina

against the venue's own

undefeated legend,

Crusher Hogan?

[PEOPLE CHEERING]

I dare!

The Spider-Man dares!

You sure, kid?

I like the gimmick,

but it's worthless

if Crusher crushes you.

A thousand bucks

if I win?

There are caveats,

but, yeah.

Then I'm in!

Ladies and gentlemen,

the Spectacular Spider-Man!

[CROWD ROARS]

Okay, I'm ready.

[GRUNTS]

I don't like picking

on little guys,

so I'm gonna

make this quick, okay?

Thanks, Crush.

But I'm good.

In fact, I'm very good!

One might even say great!

Hey, where'd he go?

Yoo-hoo!

Get down here!

That's one option.

Hey! What is this?

I ought toYou're welcome to try,

but I think you'll find

[GASPS]

the match is already over.

Ladies and gentlemen,

the Spectacular Spider-Man!

[PEOPLE CHEERING]

Got your money

in my safe, kid.

All you gotta do

is sign an exclusive

management contract

with Sullivan Edwards,

i.e., me.

Whoa, whoa, I'm not

signing anything.

Hey, no signature,

no cash.

I told you

there were caveats.

But that's not fair!Fair's not my problem.

[DOOR OPENING]

Hey! That's my money!

Kid! Spider-Man!

Stop him!

Not my problem.

PETER: Well, that was a bust.

No money.

Not even a ride home.

[SIRENS WAILING] Uncle Ben said he'd wait

for me at the library.

I guess all those cops

wouldn't let him park.

[AUNT MAY SOBBING]

Aunt May,

what's wrong?

Oh, Peter, it's Ben.

[SIRENS WAILING]

You stole the life

of a good man.

A man with

a loving family,

and you did it

for his lousy car!

Don't bother running.

There's no place

you can hide!

That face

SPIDER-MAN: [ECHOING]

Not my problem.

What have I done?

SYMBIOTE:

Why blame yourself?

We didn't hurt

Uncle Ben.

The world took him

away from us.

The world takes

everything we love.

There's no one

you can trust,

Peter Parker.

No one except us.

Join with us.

Make our bond permanent.

Together, nothing can stop us,

and everything

we ever wanted

will be ours.

Hold up there, kiddo.Uncle Ben.

We don't need

you anymore, old man.

Too bad.

You stirred up

my memory.

Now you're

stuck with me.

Wait! Stop!

Well, kiddo,

we're here.Here?

The library. The one

across from the venue?

You said you had

to study here.

Right. Right.

Uncle Ben,

if you could

do something,

and do it better

than anyone else,

then it wouldn't

be wrong to, you know,

cash in on

your talents, right?

Well, son,

that would depend

on what talents

we're talking about.

Listen, kiddo,

I went through

exactly the same thing

at your age.

No. Not exactly.

Point is,

you're changing,

into the man

you're going to be.

And just because

you can do something

doesn't mean you should.

With great power,

there must also come

great responsibility.

Pretty words.

But what good

did they do?

We still went to the venue.

We still let

the cat burglar go.

He came down

to take this car

and took Ben away from us.

From him.

Not you.

That's not the point.

And I'll prove it.

No. It can't be you.

It can't!

[SCOFFS] This proves

your point?

Wait. Watch him

take his vengeance.

No!

I should drop you,

take what you took

from Ben Parker!

[SCREAMING]

But he wouldn't approve.

With great power

comes great

responsibility.

[SIRENS WAILING]

And that, kiddo,

was only the beginning.

No one's denying

the great work

we've done.

But how

were we repaid?

We have no money,

no girl, no real friends.

None, that is,

save us.

I beg to differ.

[INAUDIBLE]

Uncle Ben's right.

I'm not alone in this.

And I am not

giving up who I am

to become one

with the ooze!

You cannot reject

what you already are.

Go get him, kiddo!

[GRUNTING]

That's what you're in for,

roomie. Sure you don't

want to vacate?

Vacate? Where do

you think we are?

We have taken root

in Peter Parker,

mind, body and soul.

[GRUNTING]Why bother struggling?

[GROANING]There's no place

you can hide.

Boy's got no

need to hide.

He's stronger than you think.I'm stronger than you think.

Now, mud-stain,

shall we dance?

[SYMBIOTE SCREECHING]

[SCREAMING]

Thanks, Uncle Ben.

Anytime, kiddo.

I'm always here.

SYMBIOTE:

This isn't over.

You will be ours!

Don't think so, symbiote.

I know what you are now,

and what you need.

[BELL TOLLING]

[SYMBIOTE SCREECHING]

You feed off

of negative emotions.

But right now

I'm starving you out.

Stop! Don't do this!

We only want to help you,

be with you!Sorry, Symbie.

I know this must hurt.

But we're just

no good together.

Consider yourself dumped.

EDDIE: I'll clear out

my stuff tonight.

That way the Connors

won't get the satisfaction

of seeing me beaten.

Spider-Man?

You brought it back!

The alien!

Oh, this is great!

Now I can get

my job back, and

Wait! What are you doing?

You can't set

the temperature that low!

You'll destroy it!That's the general idea.

No! Let go!Sorry,

but if you knew

how dangerous

[FREEZING]

No.

Do you know

what you've done?

You've destroyed

my last chance!

He's supposed

to be a hero, but

he's as bad as Pete.

Worse!

The two of them,

pretending to be

Boy Scouts,

when all they do

is destroy anyone

and anything

that gets

[HESITANTLY] in their

[ASTONISHED] way.

You

You're alive.

And you're calling to me.

SYMBIOTE: Eddie Brock,

we sense your fury,

your hatred.

And its taste is sweet.

Do you hate the Spider?

Do you hate Parker?

You have to ask?

No. But we have

much to show!

[INAUDIBLE]

Pete is Spider-Man!

Why didn't I

see it before?

I don't have two

enemies. I have one.

We have one enemy.

The Spider, Parker,

sought to destroy us, too.

Bond with us, Eddie Brock,

mind, body, and soul.

Yes.

Accept the gift

the Parker rejected.Yes!

And together,

we will have

our desire!

Yes!

We will have vengeance

on Spider-Man!

[ROARING]
