The Spectacular Spider-Man (2008) s01e09 Episode Script
The Uncertainty Principle
1
[WEB SHOOTING] SPIDER-MAN: 'Twas the night
before Halloween,
and all through Manhattan,
not a criminal was stirring,
not even Green Goblin.
Might as well enjoy
the peace and quiet
while I can.
"Manhattan," "Goblin."
They sort of rhyme.
MAN: So, Colonel Jameson,
any early trick-or-treaters
up there?
Hope not.
We're fresh
out of candy.
But seriously,
I still remember
my first Halloween.
I was an astronaut.
Big surprise, right?
[SIGHS] As much as I love
the beauty and tranquility
of space,
I'm glad
we're landing
tomorrow
to see the costumes
of the next generation
of dreamers.
Plus, this year,
my astronaut costume rocks.
[ALARM RINGING]
Life support's still up.
Otherwise
Otherwise, it's

a problem."

JOHN: Heat shields
are fairly trashed.
Anyone know
a good body shop up here?
TV REPORTER: Although
Colonel John Jameson
maintains
his sense of humor,
the real question remains.
Will the shuttle be able
to land safely?
The damaged heat shield
coupled with the loss
of the shuttle's
navigational computer
greatly increases
the hazard.
We heard from Foswell?
Already
in California,
awaiting
the shuttle's
landing.
[WHISPERING]
Assuming it does land.
We'll just get out
of your way,
Mr. Jameson.
Shout out
if you need anything.
[WHOOSHING]
[TIRES SCREECHING]
[SINISTER LAUGHTER]
[GROANING]
[LAUGHING]
Keep laughing, Kermit.
I hear green's
the new black and blue.
GREEN GOBLIN:
You should be green
with envy,
because you lack
my fashion sense.
[COUGHS]
Oh, and
built-in gas mask.
[LAUGHS]
[GROANS]
Goblin, I know
you're out there.
Out there.
In here.
Everywhere.
Yes, this will soon be
my town, Hammie,
and I could use
a good right-hand
flattop.
Not going to happen.
You think I'm afraid
of a goofball dressed
for Halloween?
Can't be afraid
of what you don't respect.
And I've only ever respected
one man enough to fear.
The Big Man, alias
L. Thompson Lincoln.
See, I've already
peeked under his mask.
Lincoln is the mask.
The Big Man is Tombstone,
'cause that's
all that's left
when you cross him.
Well, if that's true,
then a man like you must
surely have acquired
life insurance.
TV REPORTER:
The astronauts have
done all they can
to repair the damage.
Now, Colonel Jameson
has only one chance
to bring his crew home.
He must manually
pilot the craft
to reenter
the Earth's atmosphere at
precisely the right angle,
or they'll burn up
on reentry.
What's that, Harry?Nothing. A new soda.
Then you won't mind
giving me a sip.
No!This is why you were
passed out the other night!
Harry,
whatever that stuff is,
you need help!
This is the help.
4.0 GPA,
football stud,
in-crowd,
all thanks to the green.
Harry, no!
A few blackouts are
a small price to pay.
So spare me
your concern.
My life's great.
Dial Hammerhead.
[PHONE RINGING]
Oh, I'm sorry,
Hammerhead can't come
to the phone right now.
He's a bit tied up.
[LAUGHS]
You got to love
the classics.
Hammerhead can
take care of himself.
And you as well,
apparently.
He had a portable
jump drive with enough
incriminating evidence
to put dear Mr. Lincoln
behind bars forever.
Not to worry.
The drive's
in little old Gobby's
possession now.
Uh, uh, uh.
I don't have it on me.
But I will
have it tonight.
When tonight? Where?
Believe me,
you'll know.
I know a trap,
when I
But that's
what makes it fun.
Besides,
what choice
do you have?
Oh, and come alone.
SPIDER-MAN: [SIGHS]
How does she do it?
One look,
and next thing
you know,
I'm swinging cross-town
to have a talk with Harry.
Look who's finally shown
his ugly rubber face.
[EXCLAIMS]
Landed me a big one!
Who's landed whom?
[LAUGHS]Whoa!
SPIDER-MAN: Where you been,
Greeny? Vacation?
Been looking for you.
[GRUNTS]
We both want Tombstone
out of the picture.
For totally
different reasons!
Details, details.
And speaking of details,
I've got a jump drive
that can take Tombstone
down for good.
Great. Fork it over.
I'll take you both in.
Uh, uh, uh.
I don't have it on me.
But I'll have it tonight.
When tonight? Where?
Anyone else
getting deja vu?
Oh, well,
let's run with it.
Believe me,
you'll know.
[GRUNTS]
[LAUGHING]
SPIDER-MAN: If Gwen's right,
losing Gobby will seem
way less painful
than talking to Harry.
[WHOOSHING]Huh?
Not even sure
if Gobby came in here,
but he wouldn't be
the first wackadoo
to target Harry's dad.
Whoa.
Been coming here for years,
and I've never seen
that door before.
Nah. I mean,
so the guy
likes masks.
But that doesn't
mean that he
Besides, Gobby keeps
stealing OsCorp tech,
so unless those thefts
were staged
to throw off suspicion
Hey, Dad, I'm home!
SPIDER-MAN: Oh, great.
Now Harry's got
two problems.
How can I
talk to him
about either
with Green Gosborn
in the next room?
Dad?
[SIGHS]
I'm not kidding, Harry.
We need to talk.
HARRY: Then come on up.
Not a good idea.
Just come down.
Oh, so you can give me
an earful for Gwen?
[SCOFFS]
No thanks.
Besides, I need
to get in costume.
I'll meet you in an hour
at the Bleecker street
carnival.
Thanks for supporting
Midtown High,
and happy Halloween.
I mean, argh, matey,
enjoy the cookie!
MARY JANE:
Uh, it's Gwen, right?
GWEN: Um, hi, hi,
Mary Jane.
I need to find Pete.
Have you seen him?
I was going to ask you.
He went to talk
to Harry, but
BOYS: Lean to the left,
lean to the right,
stand up, sit down,
fight, fight, fight!
Go Mustangs!
[WHOOPING]
Shake those
pom-poms!
Yeah, shake Wait.
Are they mocking us?
Trick or treat,
smell my feet
Give me something
good to eat ♪
Come on, you're not going
to break up with me
over a cookie.
Uh, are you?
So, you as dangerous
as you look?
[HISSING] Wouldn't you
like to know?
You haven't complimented
my costume.
Trying to get the latest
on the shuttle.
Which matters
to me, why?
Maybe 'cause
John Jameson's like
an older brother to me.
And 'cause
he may not make it.
TV REPORTER: I'm told
that as the shuttle enters
Earth's atmosphere,
NASA will likely
lose contact.
Whatever happens,
Foswell, you give it
to me straight.
FOSWELL:
Sure, J.J. Straight.
Fasten your seatbelts,
it's going to be
a bumpy night.
FOSWELL:
Nothing yet, boss.
Nothing, nothing.
[SIGHS]
J.J., I'm sorry
Wait! There it is!
It's landing!
[CROWD CHEERING]
They're safe!
[ALL CHEERING]
All right!
He did it.
My boy did it.
Hey, hey!
I'm not paying you bums
to watch television!
Get me a new layout
in 17 seconds
or you're all fired!
Go, go, go!
Congratulations, boss.
It's great news.
[GRUNTS]
It's the news.
What are these?
A couple of freaks
in costumes. Worthless!
The Bugle's
celebrating
a real hero!
My son John!
But what do I do with
Sell them
to the Globe
for all I care.
[CHUCKLES]
That rag will
print anything.
Mr. Osborn.
Didn't expect to
see you back tonight.
And through
the front door
no less.
You want to rule the world,
you don't punch time clocks.
[EXPLOSION]
[MAN SCREAMING]
Mr. Osborn!
He took it!
Stole it!
A thief? Here?
What did he steal?
The inhibitor prototype!
Freeze, dirt bag!
[GRUNTS]
[CHUCKLES]
[LAUGHING]
[CELL PHONE RINGING]
Gwen? GWEN: Oh, Peter, finally.
I've been calling and
What's up with Harry?
He's meeting me
at the carnival.
I'm already here.
Where are you?
Pete?Nice costume, huh?
FLASH: I'm going
to cream Osborn!
The little wimp
was supposed to be
the top of our pyramid!
[CHUCKLES] Hey, look,
it's the spectacular
spider-geek!
[LAUGHS]
[ALL GRUNTING]
Got to say, tiger,
you fill out
that costume nicely.
Very nicely.
You can web me up
any time, Petey.
Puny Parker?
He looks nothing
like Spidey!
I should have been
Spider-Man!
Don't worry, Flash,
you fill out
your costume
nicely, too.
[FIRECRACKERS BURSTING]
[CROWD EXCLAIMING]
Goblin.
Pete, we really
should find Harry.
Pete?
So, Gobby offered you
the secret toy
surprise, too.
Trap?Trap.
Figured.
Race you inside.
[EXCLAIMS]
Always with the drama.
This is
so embarrassing.
LINCOLN:
And disappointing.
Did you really think
you needed a jump drive
to protect you?
Did you really think
a jump drive
could protect you?
Aw, come on, boss.
You can't have fallen
for that.
There's no drive,
no incriminating evidence.
There never was.
GREEN GOBLIN: Yes, yes,
I'm a big fat liar.
Like we didn't all know
this was a trap.
GREEN GOBLIN: Welcome
to the Green Goblin's
house of horror!
Or should I say
refinery of revulsion?
[LAUGHS]
[SNARLS]
[GRUNTS]
Uh, thanks.
Take down the Goblin
or at least unmask him,
and we'll call it even.
Uh, excuse me,
who rescued who
from the molten steel?
GREEN GOBLIN: [LAUGHING]
Wipeout!
[GRUNTS]
Next time
you throw a bash, Gobby,
leave out snacks.
Your guests
will stay longer.
Oh, how embarrassing.
But at least
I brought party favors.
FLASH: Terrifying, huh?
Or is nothing scary
after seeing me
in a skirt?
The skirt's cool.
I know you lost a bet,
but you made
the best of it.
Glad you feel that way.
I mean, now that me and Liz
have split up
Whoa, pom-poms
to yourself, big guy.
I like you, but I won't
be your replacement girl.
This redhead's
a free agent.
Plans to keep it
that way.
No Harry. No Pete.
Someone is
so getting
the look.
[GRUNTS]Oh, why don't you
just give up?
'Cause
I know your secret.
I know whose face
is behind that mask.
We all wear masks,
Spider-Man.
But which one is real?
The one
that hides
your face,
or the one
that is your face?
I know
you're Norman Osborn!
[LAUGHS]
GREEN GOBLIN: Am I?
Impressive webbing.
Now try mine.
So what do you think
of my gob-webs?
[LAUGHS]
Now, let's see
what cracks first.
My gob-webs,
or your bones!
[GRUNTING]
Well,
that taught us
nothing.
Perhaps a more drastic
experiment is required!
Happy landing,
Spider-Man!
This better work!
Okay. All this pain
at least proves
I'm still alive.
[LAUGHING]
[GASPS]
[GRUNTS]
Oh, right, kind of
used it all up.
SPIDER-MAN: Go ahead.
Run. I know
where you live.
I knew it!
[GRUNTING]
[GASPING]
SPIDER-MAN: You're
the Green Goblin?
No! This isn't
my costume!
I'm a cheerleader!
I
[GASPS]Harry? Spider-Man?
What is
You're not limping!
Why would I be limping?
Why is Harry wearing
Where did this come from?
Dad, I canWhat is it?
Globulin Green.
An early stage,
experimental
performance enhancer,
highly unstable
and addictive.
You stole it from OsCorp,
didn't you?
Why would you do something
so dangerous? So stupid?
For you!
[GRUNTS]
You told me to man up!
So I took the green
to become the son
you always wanted me to be.
[POLICE SIREN WAILS]To become a man,
like you.
[GROANS]
I must have
blacked out,
again.
I don't remember anything.
But I can't be
the Goblin, can I?
[GRUNTS]
I never
should have
taken it.
I've ruined everything.
I'm sorry.
So, so, sorry.
This makes no sense.
If Har If this kid's
the Goblin,
why would he
attack the Big Man?
Why attack OsCorp?
I've had dealings
with the Big Man.
But when I tried
to extricate myself,
I was threatened
by his stooge.
HARRY:
Hammerhead.
Harry must have overheard.
Under the influence
of the green,
his subconscious
created someone
who could take
the Big Man down.
Now, as to why
he attacked me
Maybe I've got
some anger issues.
[GIGGLES]
I will not allow this.
I'll say
I was the Goblin.
After all,
I invented the green.
I'm the obvious suspect.
No. He needs you.
And what good
could you do him
locked away
for a crime
you didn't commit?
Didn't I?
This is all my fault.
I drove Harry to
I will get him help,
I swear.
If you'll let me.
Me?
If you turn him in,
if the Big Man learns
Harry was the Goblin,
he wouldn't
survive the night.
Please.
He's my only child.
SPIDER-MAN:
And my best friend.
The Goblin
disappears,
forever,
leaving a mystery
that never gets solved.
Thank you.
And why should I care
what the Globeruns
on its front page?
Because their
Spider-Man scoop
and Parker's pictures
of it slaughtered
our space shuttle coverage
at the newsstands.
The people have spoken.
Get that traitor Parker
in here and lock him
to an exclusive deal.
If they want Spider-Man,
we'll give 'em
Spider-Man.
Here's tomorrow's
front-page headline.
"Spider-Man,
threat or menace?"
MARY JANE: Hey, tiger.
Oh, hey, M.J.
M.J.?
What are you
doing here?
I go to school here now.
Midtown's theater magnet
accepted me.
I wanted to tell you
last night,
but you disappeared,
as usual.
Uh, sorry,
I went looking for Harry,
but I never found him.
Then you probably
haven't heard.
Harry's taking
a leave of absence
from school
to travel abroad.
And get the help
he needs.
And that makes it
a happy ending, right?
So, Colonel Jameson,
good to be home?
Yep. Back
on solid ground.
[BOTH GASP]
Where it's nice
and safe.
[WEB SHOOTING] SPIDER-MAN: 'Twas the night

Or should I say
refinery of revulsion?
[LAUGHS]
[SNARLS]
[GRUNTS]
Uh, thanks.
Take down the Goblin
or at least unmask him,
and we'll call it even.
Uh, excuse me,
who rescued who
from the molten steel?
GREEN GOBLIN: [LAUGHING]
Wipeout!
[GRUNTS]
Next time
you throw a bash, Gobby,
leave out snacks.
Your guests
will stay longer.
Oh, how embarrassing.
But at least
I brought party favors.
FLASH: Terrifying, huh?
Or is nothing scary
after seeing me
in a skirt?
The skirt's cool.
I know you lost a bet,
but you made
the best of it.
Glad you feel that way.
I mean, now that me and Liz
have split up
Whoa, pom-poms
to yourself, big guy.
I like you, but I won't
be your replacement girl.
This redhead's
a free agent.
Plans to keep it
that way.
No Harry. No Pete.
Someone is
so getting
the look.
[GRUNTS]Oh, why don't you
just give up?
'Cause
I know your secret.
I know whose face
is behind that mask.
We all wear masks,
Spider-Man.
But which one is real?
The one
that hides
your face,
or the one
that is your face?
I know
you're Norman Osborn!
[LAUGHS]
GREEN GOBLIN: Am I?
Impressive webbing.
Now try mine.
So what do you think
of my gob-webs?
[LAUGHS]
Now, let's see
what cracks first.
My gob-webs,
or your bones!
[GRUNTING]
Well,
that taught us
nothing.
Perhaps a more drastic
experiment is required!
Happy landing,
Spider-Man!
This better work!
Okay. All this pain
at least proves
I'm still alive.
[LAUGHING]
[GASPS]
[GRUNTS]
Oh, right, kind of
used it all up.
SPIDER-MAN: Go ahead.
Run. I know
where you live.
I knew it!
[GRUNTING]
[GASPING]
SPIDER-MAN: You're
the Green Goblin?
No! This isn't
my costume!
I'm a cheerleader!
I
[GASPS]Harry? Spider-Man?
What is
You're not limping!
Why would I be limping?
Why is Harry wearing
Where did this come from?
Dad, I canWhat is it?
Globulin Green.
An early stage,
experimental
performance enhancer,
highly unstable
and addictive.
You stole it from OsCorp,
didn't you?
Why would you do something
so dangerous? So stupid?
For you!
[GRUNTS]
You told me to man up!
So I took the green
to become the son
you always wanted me to be.
[POLICE SIREN WAILS]To become a man,
like you.
[GROANS]
I must have
blacked out,
again.
I don't remember anything.
But I can't be
the Goblin, can I?
[GRUNTS]
I never
should have
taken it.
I've ruined everything.
I'm sorry.
So, so, sorry.
This makes no sense.
If Har If this kid's
the Goblin,
why would he
attack the Big Man?
Why attack OsCorp?
I've had dealings
with the Big Man.
But when I tried
to extricate myself,
I was threatened
by his stooge.
HARRY:
Hammerhead.
Harry must have overheard.
Under the influence
of the green,
his subconscious
created someone
who could take
the Big Man down.
Now, as to why
he attacked me
Maybe I've got
some anger issues.
[GIGGLES]
I will not allow this.
I'll say
I was the Goblin.
After all,
I invented the green.
I'm the obvious suspect.
No. He needs you.
And what good
could you do him
locked away
for a crime
you didn't commit?
Didn't I?
This is all my fault.
I drove Harry to
I will get him help,
I swear.
If you'll let me.
Me?
If you turn him in,
if the Big Man learns
Harry was the Goblin,
he wouldn't
survive the night.
Please.
He's my only child.
SPIDER-MAN:
And my best friend.
The Goblin
disappears,
forever,
leaving a mystery
that never gets solved.
Thank you.
And why should I care
what the Globeruns
on its front page?
Because their
Spider-Man scoop
and Parker's pictures
of it slaughtered
our space shuttle coverage
at the newsstands.
The people have spoken.
Get that traitor Parker
in here and lock him
to an exclusive deal.
If they want Spider-Man,
we'll give 'em
Spider-Man.
Here's tomorrow's
front-page headline.
"Spider-Man,
threat or menace?"
MARY JANE: Hey, tiger.
Oh, hey, M.J.
M.J.?
What are you
doing here?
I go to school here now.
Midtown's theater magnet
accepted me.
I wanted to tell you
last night,
but you disappeared,
as usual.
Uh, sorry,
I went looking for Harry,
but I never found him.
Then you probably
haven't heard.
Harry's taking
a leave of absence
from school
to travel abroad.
And get the help
he needs.
And that makes it
a happy ending, right?
So, Colonel Jameson,
good to be home?
Yep. Back
on solid ground.
[BOTH GASP]
Where it's nice
and safe.
