Ultimate Spider-Man (2011) s02e03 Episode Script

2x03 - The Rhino Run.
Make way for your friendly, neighborhood Spider-Man.
Sure, being a superhero is hard work fighting bad guys, saving the little guys, washing your costume once a month.
Whether it needs it or not.
I have to admit, it's a lot easier when your partner is The unstoppable Power Man.
With unbreakable skin.
Of course, I'm not without my own "caché of boom".
Spidey, a little help here? Teamwork.
The old one-two.
How about the three-four? Looks like the FDNY's gonna need some help with this camp fire.
Camp fire? And then my poor meatball rolled right out the door Come on.
Who's with me? Maybe not.
But this really is just like an overgrown camp fire.
What is that? No worries, P.
M.
Leave this to your friendly, neighborhood What was that? And how can something so big move so fast? Gotta see what we're up against.
Bad news.
It's bigger, tougher, and faster than you.
But I'm bigger, tougher, and faster than everything.
Now who's big and tough, huh? Me.
The Rhino.
That's who.
Did we just get bullied by a Rhinoceros? I always said this town is a ZOO.
Whoa! Ugh.
Ow.
There are rumblings that an early-morning Oscorp rampage can be chalked up to the Rhino, the creature that may be the most dangerous thing to ever hit this city.
Is it just me, or has J.
J.
J.
moved onto a new target? Catch.
But who's really to blame? The only menace actually seen at the blaze was the wall-crawling Spider-Man.
Yep, just you.
Hurry up and change.
So what the heck was that thing? And what was in those chemical containers it snatched? Probably no chance it was horn polish.
- I said fork it over.
- Leave me alone, Flash.
Flash Thompson midtown high's resident bully.
Hey, don't get doofus on my car.
I'm not giving you my homework.
You will if you know what's good for you, dweebus.
- It's cheating.
- Cheating? I just wanna see if we got the same answers.
Understand? I thought you got Flash to drop the bully stuff a while ago.
Yeah, he did.
I mean, he did with me.
Let's get down there.
You already have a cool car.
A letterman's jacket.
Just because you have everything doesn't mean you can get away with everything.
You're gonna regret this, Flash.
Doubtful.
Now where's your math? Picking on a little guy? Not cool.
How about I trade places with him and we see how this all plays out? Hey, Pete, Luke.
What's up, guys? Yeah, don't "guys" us in one breath and bully some kid in another.
Bully? I was just asking for an assist.
And this little pipsqueak started shooting his mouth off.
Come on, Flash.
Think.
How would you feel in his shoes? Lay off, Parker.
I'm just messing.
Sheesh.
He's in a mood.
Keep an eye on him.
Sorry about Flash.
He's working on being a better guy, but he's still entry-level.
I'm Peter Parker, by the way.
One of the good guys.
- What? - We already know each other.
I'm Alex? In the same science class? You beat me out for the internship at Oscorp.
Remember? Oh! Oh, Alex.
Right.
Duh.
My bad.
Forget it.
Forget me.
Unless someone wants my homework or to save me, I'm invisible to all you popular kids.
Ha.
Me? Popular? Hardly.
I mean, Spidey-me gets some attention, but Peter Parker? Who would think that? Alex, wait up.
Let me make it up to you.
Wanna hang with my friends Harry and M.
J.
after school? Thanks for the pity party, but I got that internship when you passed 'cause you were too busy being cool.
It's not pity.
And I'm not cool.
We have stuff in common.
We could hang.
Know what we don't have in common? You forgot what it's like to be a target.
As if.
I take a lot of hits.
But I can't really confide in Alex about that.
That's totally not true.
You didn't remember me, but you will.
Flash too.
I'm not the little wimp you all think I am.
Don't go there, Alex.
When somebody pushes you around, you have to tell someone.
That's how you stand up to a bully.
Reach out to your teachers.
Or Principal Coulson.
Or your friends.
Great advice.
If I had friends.
Spidey-cycle speed.
Nothing like it in the whole city.
- What the heck? Power Man? - And Power bike.
Batteries not included.
Try not to drool.
Hate for you to get your mask all nasty.
Try to keep up, webs.
Spider-Man, data shows four raids on Oscorp facilities last week.
The main target appears to be chemical compounds.
Biological reactive serums related to livestock.
Fury wants you two watching railyards for tonight's Oscorp train shipment.
All right.
Wait.
Did you just "loop-de-loop"? Nuh-uh.
This is a serious mission, Spider-Man.
No time for joyriding the Spider cycle or the Power bike.
Principal-slash-agent Coulson.
Took you long enough.
You took a shortcut.
Don't get mad just 'cause my new bike's faster than your old bike.
I'm not mad.
Just bugged by something that Alex kid said.
Do you think I've become popular? You? Can always count on Luke to bring me back to humble.
It's cool, man.
People change.
Not Flash.
I thought he quit bullying, but apparently he just moved on to the next kid.
I was never really afraid of Flash because I'm, well, Spider-Man, but Alex is just a regular kid.
He needs help.
I should do something about it.
I still could Nah.
That's not you, man.
Take the high road.
Get him some help.
Go for revenge, and you become the bully.
Be the change you want, man.
Be the change.
Since when did you get more sage than Iron Fist? Actually, I did steal that line from Iron Fist.
Rumble.
It must be our Oscorp train.
Or, then again, maybe the rumble is our friendly, rampaging Rhino.
Wha? Power Man I can hold this.
Get the crew.
Big, gray, and ugly is back.
No! Rhino will do, uh something to you! Just wait! And maybe more confused? Yeah.
If "confused" is code for dumb.
I hear you.
No one makes fun of Rhino.
Push Rhino around? Power Man! - Rhino gashed my leg.
- But you have unbreakable skin.
Yeah.
But you don't.
Mayday! Man down at trainyard.
Send uh-oh.
- How could Rhino cut you? - Don't know, man.
Doesn't matter.
Just leave me here.
Leave you? Nuh-uh.
You know the saying.
Bros before Rhinos.
You wanna fight me? I'd like to put you in a ZOO.
I'll deal with you later.
For now, gonna take my medicines and go.
Medicines? The Coulson cavalry's here.
You're gonna be okay, Luke.
I'm okay now.
Let me off of here.
- Rhino's getting away.
- You need to sit tight, Power Man.
A wound like that's gonna put you out of comission for a while.
What did the Rhino take from the train car? Chemical containers.
He called them "medicine".
- Well, medicines.
- Anything else to go on? Something about him is familiar.
No.
Uh-uh.
Nope.
Spidey, come on, man.
Tell these guys to put me back in the game.
No, Coulson's right.
You need a medic check.
Just go.
I bet you'll be back on the beat by sundown.
He's gonna be okay, right? - We'll do our best.
- Do better than that.
I need my teammate.
Seriously, don't worry about a thing, buddy.
I can handle this.
Just hang tight.
Get it? "Hang.
" Not funny.
Not funny at all.
You must be hurt if you think I'm not funny.
So I was up all night tracking big game, but no Rhino.
Even worse, no beauty rest.
As you can see.
Whoops.
Sorry, Flash.
Flash? You okay? Huh? My car.
My beautiful car.
Wow, man.
You should really show that to agent uh, Principal Coulson.
This is serious.
Serious? For a guy like me? Sh'yuh, I'll just buy another car.
This is just some dweeb trying to scare me.
But guess what? Flash Thompson doesn't scare! Come on, Flash! As wrong as it is, this is still a wake-up call! - You better answer it or else - Or else, what? Some needle-neck like Alex here'll "get" me? Ha! That'll be the day! Boo! You can't just treat people like that, Flash.
Be cool! Cool? That's all I am is cool! That pasty little nerd? Not cool.
Class dismissed! I gotta go home and quiver in my boots.
Boo-hoo! I'm sorry about Flash, again.
You know what they say about bullies, "it's usually more about them than you.
" It's about to be all about him.
Alex, you didn't have anything to do with Flash's car, did you? Me? No.
But "my friend", maybe.
Uh-oh.
Flash Thompson, I'm coming for you.
What? Hey! Rhi-'no'-you-didn't! Saw you changing.
Who'd-a-thunk big, tough Rhino is just a scared little kid? I'm not little! I'm strong now! Strong smelling! Hey, piece of advice, you can get help dealing with a bully without becoming a monster yourself.
I monster you! Yeah, those three words don't make a sentence.
Believe me, you take revenge on your bully, You'll be the big guy beating up the little guy! Just like you! Just like Spider-Man.
Rhino always wanted be like Spider-Man.
I don't drink Oscorp milkshakes that mess with my brain! I smart.
Intern at Oscorp.
Learn what compound can do, so take it and change! So what if juice makes Rhino less smarter? Long as I gets revenge on Flash.
Hey! Flash, get on that bus, pronto! Sorry, but Flash doesn't take the bus, even for you, Spidey.
Hey, there's my bus.
Gotta go! Spider-Man, come in! Spider-Man can't take your call at this time due to heavy stampeding.
Spidey, tell Fury you need me there.
I'm good to go! Uh, not exactly a good time to talk, Luke.
And I can't risk you risking that injury! Teeny-tiny flesh wound! I'm good.
I got electro-webs, so I got Rhino, no sweat.
Stop! Stop! Stop! Go! Go! Go! I'm not miss next time! Maybe this will get through that thick skull! Coulson, I need Flash's location.
Are you sure Flash lives here? According to his last seven detention notices, that is indeed Flash Thompson's address.
This? Expecting someone? Spidey! Uh My folks aren't home hardly ever actually.
Sorry about my place, Spider-Man.
I don't care where you live.
I care what you do.
Your bullying is coming right back at you, in a big, grey, ugly way.
Now, let's get you out of here before Rhino.
Down here, chicken.
- Are we over a gas station? - Yeah I was afraid of that.
Oh, Spidey, please, you gotta help me! This this is all my family has! I'll do anything! Good, stay put.
Don't "play tough".
- Call for help, I'll rein in Rhino.
- Hey, I don't have a cell phone.
Don't leave me here, Spidey! I destroy Flash house.
Destroy Flash! No way I'm letting you trash Flash's home, Snouttie! Get away.
No, Flash, directions! Follow directions! Who small now, huh? Wow, never imagined big, tough Flash, screaming like a little baby.
Aw, don't cry, baby.
Spidey throw big car at horn man.
I'm giving you one last chance to call off your grudge match.
Get off! - Yeah! Woo! - You not unders Unders unders - Understand? Oh, but I do.
- No one pick on spider! Yeah, well, Rhino also derailed a train, smashed a car and tried to blow up Flash's house! Your real power is your mind.
You used that to steal the drink that gives you the fake power to bully someone.
You're no better than Flash like this.
You are him.
And one more thing Okay, maybe one thing too many.
Huh? Power Man? Stay here while I try to handle Alex once and for all.
Alex? What does that kid have to do with why that thing is after me? - That 'thing' is Alex.
- That's Alex? How? Wrong question.
Right question? "Who" brought this whole thing on in the first place? Spidey, might have spoke too soon.
Losing my grip! You? No way.
You're the strongest guy I know! No match for Rhino! Remember science class, Rhino? You need friction to run.
- Ready, buddy? - Let's do this.
Me.
Huh? It was me.
I brought this on.
And only I can make it better.
If I get the chance.
A wise man once told me: "Be the change you want, man.
Be the change.
" Spider-Man, am I gonna get in trouble? All I wanted was to make people stop picking on me.
I know, but you don't do it by picking on them.
You're a smart kid.
You'll figure this out.
Hey! Wait, uh, it wasn't his fault, - I was - We'll take good care of him.
Hey, man, uh I hate apologizing, but you were right.
I don't have everything.
I'm sorry I was picking on you.
Wasn't cool.
Well, slightly better performance than yesterday.
Minimal wreckage, threat apprehended, and fine leadership with him today.
It should have gone smoother.
I should have reported to you what Flash was doing to Alex instead of trying to deal with it myself.
And I couldn't have done any of it if Power Man hadn't come through in the nick of time, and Listen to you.
You reminded me that power isn't the same as strength today.
So let me remind you of something, too.
You're a good leader.
Now, deal with it.
Aw.
I left web-head speechless.
Now, there's a serious superpower.
Boom! Me, "speechless"? Ha, I just figured if I stopped talking, they'd keep saying nice things about me.
