[EXPLOSION]
MARKO: First time
I've ever blown my way
out of a store.
ALEX: Yeah, Marko.
Biggest score we ever made.
I'm lovin' it.
I'm lovin' there's
no Spider-Man down here
to cramp our style.
Didn't know
you had any style.
Hiya, boys.
Two bags full of cash,
and we lost 'em.
I can't believe it.
I can't
believe we lost
to that pathetic
little web creep
again.
Bail's been paid.
Guess pond scum
can have friends.
Who knew?
HAMMERHEAD:
Get in, boys.
Oh, and welcome
to the big time.
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
Looking up
with no surprise
Arriving
in the speed of time

[SHOOTING WEBS]
You talkin' to me?
Then say hello to my webs.
AUNT MAY: Peter?
Uh, just a sec, Aunt May.
[SHOOTING WEBS]I gotta
straighten up a bit.
My goodness.
You did
straighten up.
I've never seen
this room so spare.
Where's the clutter?
Shoved under the bed
as usual?
[PETER CHUCKLES]
Hey. I'm not
five anymore.
I don't need
to resort to tricks.
Well, I'm impressed, Peter,
and not just with the room.
You have been very good
about getting home
by your new curfew.
And as a reward,
I've decided to restore
the old rules.
You can stay out
until 10:00 and call
if you're gonna be late.
What's that?What? This?
Uh, this is just a flyer
for the, uh,
Midtown High fall formal,
but, uh, I'm not goin'.
I don't have a date.
[CHUCKLES] Oh, Peter.
You lead such
a sheltered life.
[GASPS] Why not ask
Anna Watson's niece,
Mary Jane?
PETER: Miss
Wonderful Personality?
[SHUDDERS]
Uh, yeah,
let me think on that.
Right now,
I gotta get to school.
What about
O'Hirn?
This is a solo job,
and the Big Man's had
his eye on you, Marko.
The Big Man?
Do I get to meet him?
No one meets
the Big Man.
[STUDENTS CHATTERING]
[SIGHS] Ok, I'm here
with my two best friends,
and neither's
talking to me.
Should I change seats?
Oh, don't be a doof.
So you couldn't help me
with my calc test.
I'm over it.
[FEEDBACK SCREECHING] Good morning, students.
Coach Smith here
with a quick announcement.
After the injury
of our starting tight end
and the academic suspension
of our backup,
[CLEARING THROAT]
the Midtown Mustangs will be
holding three days of tryouts
starting this afternoon.
[CHUCKLES] Perfect.
I am so there.
Uh, Harry, you know
I'm all about being
the encouraging gal pal,
but the words
"catastrophic bone breakage"
do come to mind here.
Yeah, Harr. You seen
the size of those guys?
Come on. If you're
that worried,
how 'bout a little
moral support?
Try out with me.
[CROWD CHEERING]
Uh, I'll pass.
No pun intended.
Hey, Kong,
Osborn's tryin' out.
KONG: Cool.STUDENT: Cool?
Hey, I need
another tackling dummy.
Broke my last one.
[BOTH LAUGHING]
Hey, Harr,
on second thought.
Tryouts?
I got your back.
So, uh, Doc,
what's with the arms?
These? Uh, well,
they allow me to multitask,
uh, manipulate
difficult objects,
and, uh,
[UNDER HIS BREATH]
of course, maintain
a safe distance.
You need
a safe distance?
What about me?
Actually,
there are concerns.
[GRUNTING]
Marko. Relax.
Procedure's simple,
painless, and
totally worth it.
Show him.
Uh, yes. Well,
the subject is infused
[ON INTERCOM]
with millions of microscopic
silicon granules,
creating subdermal
silicon armor.
Now, in theory,
he'll be able to pass
through metal detectors,
well, undetected, and
he'll be impervious.
Impervious? What?
Is that a good thing?
Yeah.
Means nothin' and
no one can hurt you,
including
Spider-Man.
All right, ladies,
listen up.
I only have room for
two of you on the team,
one starter, one backup.
Don't worry, Brown.
You're in.
We'll make sure of it.
COACH SMITH:
All right, helmets on.
Let's play some football!
[BLOWS WHISTLE]
Some real talent
out there. Your buddy
Hobie, he's good.
But those, uh,
two skinny little juniors,
they might just be better.
They're sure giving
king Kong a rough time.
They're not
the only ones.
Grow up, Kenny.
Why would I date someone
too immature to play fair?
But, GloryI'm serious.
Cut it out,
or we're history.
[GRUNTING]
Please, Mr. Osborn,
this lab,
[STUTTERING]
it was assembled
so rapidly.
And the equipment,
it's substandard.
At the least,
I need more time.
The experiment's
never really been tested.
This is the test.
Press the button,
Doctor.
[MACHINERY WHIRRING]
[SCREAMING]
Stop! Stop it now!
[SCREAMING]
The magnetic field
directing the silicon
is overloading!
We must abort!Not yet.
[GRUNTING]
What have we done?
What do we do?
We sweep up,
and we try again.
Wait.
What's goin' on
in there?
No!
[SCREAMING IN RAGE]
What have you done to me?
I know you're in there!
Answer me!
HAMMERHEAD: [ON INTERCOM]
Hey, Mr. Sandman.
Chill.
HAMMERHEAD: There you go.
You got your sand legs,
your sand clothes.
Hey, and now
you're in color.
See? It's not so bad.
Not so bad?
Stuff happens.
End result's the same.
You got power
no one else got,
not even Spider-Man,
now you can get revenge
for all those times
the web-head put you
behind bars.
Yeah!
Nah, wait.
Revenge is for chumps.
I don't care
about Spider-Man.
All I ever wanted
was the big score,
and now I got
the power to get it.
Now, listen,
you little nobody
Hey, Flint Marko
was a nobody,
but everyone'll know
the name Sandman.
You're taking this
calmly.
I thought
Big Man wanted
a supervillain
to fight Spider-Man.
Big Man wanted
the bug distracted.
You think that boy won't
make a good distraction,
you haven't
been payin' attention.
Yeah, I could
get used to this.
I mean, sure,
I went a little
arachnobatic on Kong,
but it's not like
I cheated.
No one yells
at Flash when he uses
his natural talents.
[ALARM RINGING]
Oh, man. Marko?
This is
so getting old.
Where's
your partner?
[CHUCKLES] Don't think
I need a partner anymore.
[GRUNTS]
[GROANS]
What just
Happened? I happened.
Sandman happened.
Now, that's
just wrong.
Uh-oh.
No, no, no,
no, no, no!
Not a good time
to run out of web.
[EXCLAIMS]
Uh, let me guess.
You were on
a reality show.
Uh, Changing Faces?
Or Completely
Ridiculous Makeovers?
Nice, huh?
The Big Man did this to me
to get to you.
The Big Man?
Who's the Big Man?
[STAMMERING] Uh, that's
need-to-know only.
Look, cleanin'
your clock's been fun,
but I got banks to rob.
Ah, man!
My money!
PETER:
Forget football.
Soon as school's out,
I'm webbin' up Sandman
once and for
Hey, Petey,
nice moves yesterday.
Heard it's down to you,
Harry, and Hobie Brown.
[WHISPERING] Good luck.
PETER: Course, Sandman
will still be around
after tryouts, right?
[ALL GRUNTING]
That was a good day.
Haven't made
a final decision,
but I'm leaning
toward Parker
as our new starter,
with Osborn
as second string.Yes!
Anyone wants
to change my mind
has one more day
of tryouts to do it.
Unbelievable. The geeks
are inheriting the Earth.
You didn't even
want to try out.
Yeah. Who knew?
This was my dream, Pete.
You're already
the smartest kid in school.
You really need
this, too?
Harry, IGuys.
We're headed to
the Silver Spoon.
Wanna come?
Sure. Uh, my treat.
Hey,
if you insist.
Uh, rain check.
[GASPS] Say, aren't you
football star Peter Parker?
How come you aren't hanging
with your new friends?
'Cause I like
my old friends.
Look, I know
you think I've been
acting like a jerk.
I put taking photos
for the Bugle
before more
important things,
but I promise, it
won't happen again.
So can you
forgive me already?
You're forgiven.
It would take too long
to train anyone else.
So, Peter, the dance is
only a few days away, and
I asked Miss Brant
from the Bugle.
Wow. That's great.
Um, you don't actually
call her Miss Brant
in person, do you?
Never mind. You know,
I'm sure you two
will have the best
She turned me down.
Well, she is totally
missing out.
Besides, she's not
the only girl who would
Doesn't matter.
There's no way
I'm going anywhere near
that stupid formal.
[CHUCKLING] Right.
Stupid formal.
[TIRES SKIDDING]
[SIRENS WAILING]I gotta go.
[HESITANTLY] Because, uh,
the Buglewill want photos.
[SIGHING] Except
I just promised you
I wouldn't put the Bugle
before our friendship.
It's okay.
Just be careful.
Thanks, Gwen.
You totally rock!
Glad you noticed.
Surprise.
[CHUCKLES]
Gee, web-head,
if I'm over here,
who's drivin'?
[GROANS]
Go!
[WORKERS EXCLAIMING IN FRIGHT]
[CHUCKLES]
Good thing
I refilled
the web-shooters.
Aw! All webbed up
and nowhere to go.
[CHUCKLES] Who do you think
I am, Flint Marko?
Spider tricks don't
work on the Sandman.
But do sand tricks work
on the Spider-Man?
Oh, this can't be good.
GLORY: And then
what happened?
Oh, so then he gets
in a second accident
at the tollbooth.
[SCOFFS] I mean,
worst chauffeur
we ever had.
I thought my dad
was gonna, like,
you know, pop a vessel.
Maybe the chauffeur
wasn't the problem.
Wow! Who knew
being super-rich
was so tough?
Yeah. Well, I
I mean no.
I mean[LAUGHING] It's okay.
I'm just teasing you.
Better
get used to it.
Way you
played today,
you and Parker both,
you'll be spendin'
a lot more time
with this crowd.
Yeah, but not tonight.
Come on, Glory.
Let's hit it.
[YELPS][INSINCERELY]
Oops. Sorry.
Kenny!
What are you, six?
Look, I wanted
to be your girlfriend,
not your babysitter.
Aw, Glory,
it was a joke.
You're not gonna
break up with me again?
What do you think?
Come on, Harry. Take me home.
COP: This ain't
a problem we can fix.
Cordon off the area!
And pray Spidey
can handle the freak.
[GROANS]
You know, I hadn't planned
on comin' after you,
but you're just determined
to be the cloud
hangin' over
my sunny, sandy beach.
Time to change
the weather,
forever.
[GRUNTS]
[GRUNTS]
All right, Sandman.
Show me what you got.
Or better yet,
I'll show you!
Wow. You sure showed me.
The hammer thing's
gettin' old, pal.
[LAUGHING]
I could keep this up
all night.
Can you, web-head?
I guess
if I'm gonna win,
I'll have to
take a dive.
Literally.
It's over, Spider-Man.
When you were
the only one with powers,
you had me beat,
but now King Sandman
reigns supreme!
Your Majesty.
Allow me to build
a statue in your honor.
Michelangelo,
eat your heart out.
Hey, Mom, Dad.
Harry. What
happened to you?
And what's
with the helmet?
Going to a costume party?
I'm tryin' out
for the team.
Football? Not really
your strong suit, is it?
Guess we'll find out
tomorrow.
Here's what we got.
Osborn, you're first string,
Brown second,
Parker, maybe next year.
Yeah, if we're
desperate.
[SNICKERING]
Hmm. I guess
yesterday was just
beginner's luck.
PETER: Hey,
if I wanted all the glory,
I wouldn't wear a mask.
So Harry gets his dream,
and I watch
from the sidelines.
Ice cream?
PETER: Course,
that has its benefits, too.
