[narrator] Spider-Man.

[inaudible speaking]

[meow]

[inaudible speaking]

[roars]

[narrator] Spider-Man.

[train chugging]

[train tires screeches]

Hi, Spidey!

Halloween's the only time
I don't feel conspicuous.

[bell chimes]

Yo, I'm going to be late
for the college party.

Now, you two take care.

Halloween brings out
a lot of weird creatures.

Look, Aunt May, your favorite weirdo.

Spider-Man.

What?

Where?

[kid] Trick or treat?

Trick or treat, lady.

Oh, you.

Here you are.

[both laughing]

[Spider-Man] This is certainly
the right weather for Halloween.

Nice for snuggling, too.

Yeah, come on, Betty, we're gonna be late.

[party music]

[indistinct conversations]

Hi, Petey.

Who was that?

Uh, I don't know.

But I kind of wish I did.

You.

[laughing]

It's the Green Goblin.

Peter, you're crazy.

[Spider-Man] Two Green Goblins?

There are at least three of us,

including the professor.

We hung wires from the ceiling. [Laughs]

Thought it would make
a great Halloween gimmick.

Fooled me.

But why is my Spider Sense tingling?

[Betty] Peter, what's wrong? Peter?

[Spider-Man] Uh, Betty, I almost forgot.

I left your Halloween present
in my locker.

Oh. A present for me?

[Spider-Man] Yeah, I'll be right back.

Something's wrong in the science
lab.

Locked.

I hate to do this but...

There.

[screeching]

Stairways are for Peter Parker.

Spider-Man can take a shortcut.

[cat shrieking]

[shrieks]

Good thing I'm not superstitious.

Mmm.

It's open.

And janitors don't clean inside safes.

I know I'm not alone.

[electricity crackles]

[groans]

I... can't... hang on.

[grunts]

[Green Goblin]
Happy Halloween, Spider-Man!

[electricity crackles]

[laughs]

We meet again.

Green... Goblin.

The web wonder at a lost for words.

How delightful!

You realize that I, as Norman Osborn,
donated this lab to college.

What better place to hide the identity
and gadgetry of the Green Goblin.

You never revealed my secret identity.

But that won't stop me
from showing the world

that Spider-Man

is really Peter Parker.

And that will put an end to you
once and for all.

Ah, my greatest triumph.

The memory amplifier.

Wear it and every thought,
every moment of your life,

materializes before you
with a life-size holographic image.

Our first encounter
three years ago tonight.

Your puny webs were no match for me
then or now.

You remember the accident
that started it all?

That's me, Norman Osborn,
titan of industry,

one moment before the expl*si*n
that transformed my life.

I survived, but my empire was ruined.

It was all Jonah Jameson's fault.

Printing those stories
about unsafe conditions

in my plants.

No one realized the accident had given me

super-human powers.

Then you had to butt in.

I'm sorry I spoiled your plans.

Oh, good, you got your voice back.

I hate talking to statues.

[strains]

[Green Goblin] No use struggling.

Your body will be frozen solid

for at least another hour.

Since I unmasked you,

and it was only fair

that I unmasked myself.

[Spider-Man]
It was your last grandstand play, Goblin.

Eh, I forgot you saved me from the fire.

Even if it cost me three years of freedom.

[Spider-Man]
The shock blanked out your memory

and left my identity secret
until now. What happened?

[Green Goblin]
It was the shock of the train wreck.

[train wheels screeching]

[grunting]

[Green Goblin] Norman Osborn
once again was the Green Goblin.

I came here for my possessions,

finding you was an unexpected pleasure.

Fitting that my revenge shall begin
by ridding the world of Spider-Man!

[Betty] Peter!

Peter, where are you?

Perfect.

[chuckles] Just in time to find Spider-Man
without his mask.

And think what the shock will do
to your dear old Aunt May!

[laughs]

[footsteps]

Peter, are you in there?

Betty, don't come in.

Why? What are you doing in there?

[Spider-Man] Uh.

[Betty] Ready or not, here I come.

Peter, are you in there?

Betty, don't come in.

[Betty] Why? What are you doing in there?

[Spider-Man] That arc lamp.

Maybe if I can turn it on.

[Betty] Ready or not, here I come.

If... I can

just... hit... that

arc lamp.

Peter, I can't see. Turn it off!

[Spider-Man] Not until the heat melts
the Goblin's freeze ray.

Is this better?

Oh, Peter.

Now, don't go away.

Ow. I can't see anything.

Where are you?

[Spider-Man] Over here.

[Betty] Oh, I found you.

Oh, Peter,

what muscles you have.

[Spider-Man] No, I said over here.

Ech.

Oh, you practical joker.

Well, you came here for my present.

Where is it?

Uh, gosh, I thought it was here.

I must've left it at home.

[Green Goblin] For you, Jonah Jameson,
a surprise from the Green Goblin.

[laughing]

That's a funny story.

Well, let's turn on the lights
and get the presses rolling.

[motor turns over]

[Spider-Man] Osborn's old factory.

Maybe I can pick up a clue
to the Green Goblin's next move here.

[chair creaks]

Shh.

[footsteps]

Green Goblin's memory helmet.

He's here some place.

Wonder if this thing will work for me.

Hey, that's me graduating
from high school.

For once I did something
Aunt May could be proud of.

That's the time I ran into the Lizard.

Hey, that never happened.

[Green Goblin] But it will!

My helmet also sees into the future.

[laughing]

[grunts]

A future without you, Spider-Man.

Looking for me?

[both grunting]

Sorry, Spider-Man.

This broomstick wasn't built for two.

[cries out]

The memory amplifier was right.

We're over Central Park.

There are no buildings
for you to cling to.

Farwell.

[laughs]

[Spider-Man]
I can skydive toward the lake.

I don't wear this webbing just for show.

[coughs]

Am I glad the city didn't turn
the lake into a parking lot.

[Man] Ahem.

[Irish accent] Excuse me, boyo.

You realize it's a misdemeanor
to swim in the lake.

Well, Faith and Begorrah.

Half the night chasing Green Goblin,

and I have to use Betty's present money
to pay Spider-Man's fine.

[sneezes]

Gracious, Peter.

If you're catching a cold,

you better stay in bed today.

I'm fine, Aunt May.

Just got caught in the rain last night.

Oh.

It didn't rain last night.

Maybe the comic strips will cheer me up.

What the... [coughs]

I expect skinflint Jameson
to save money on paper,

but this is ridiculous.

Is this some kind of joke?

I said I wanted the Daily Bugle.

All right, trick or treat
was yesterday, Betty.

You haven't seen anything, Mr. Jameson.

Look down there.

[Jameson] Oh, no. [Screeching]

It's happening everywhere.

All my newspapers
are crumbling to green dust.

And everyone wants his money back.

That's the last straw!

Get me the police!

The FBI! The CIA!

Somebody!

Don't bother the boss now. He's wild.

So what else is new?

Why, this could ruin me!

[Green Goblin] Let's hope so.

[Jameson] You! You

- you're behind this?
- Yes.

What better way to pay you back

than by destroying
your precious newspaper.

Why you... [cries out]

Help!

Help!

How does it feel to lose, Jameson?

Lose?

J. Jonah Jameson never lose.

[cries out]

Okay, Mr. Jameson, I've got you.

Who asked you?

That web spinner has more lives
than a cat.

But this time you used up your last one.

[cries out]

Got a newsflash
for your next edition, Jameson.

Not interested!

Not even in Spider-Man's secret identity?

I'm interested.

And I think it's time to exit.

No!

What are you doing?

Wait!

Tell me, who is Spider-Man?

Spider-Man is...

I didn't hear you!

Spider-Man is...

[loud crash sounds]

I said.

Spider-Man is really...

- Look out!
- You've run

out of tricks, Spider-Man.

The world is about to know

your alter ego is...

[Spider-Man] I can't leave
even the Green Goblin to that fate.

[groaning]

There he is.

Oh, thank heavens,

it's you, Spider-Man.

Thank heavens?

Oh, wow.

He's Osborn again.

[Jameson]
Where... That's... that's Norman Osborn.

But where's the Green Goblin?

It's a long story.

Green Goblin?

Who's that?

I don't remember anything
after the train wreck.

You... you can't do this to me.

Do you know who Spider-Man is?

Of course, I do.

You do? Then tell me!

Tell me! Who is he?

He is.

Can't argue with that.

[Jameson] You can't do this to me.

I've got to know. I was so close.

How can this happen?

It's not fair. It's not fair!

Someone's got to tell me.

I... I was so close!

I was so close!

Oh, Why, why me?

[mumbles]

Oh, no, this hasn't been my day.

Something wrong with old foghorn?

I haven't heard him all morning.

Laryngitis. He lost his voice
from yelling so much.

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

Uh, you remember your Halloween present?

I certainly remember not getting one.

[purring]

[meows]

Oh, no.

Oh, Peter!

What a perfect Halloween present.

Meow.
