Menken, comma, Donald.
[SWITCH FLIPPING]HAMMERHEAD:
Trust me, kid.
You don't want
no part of this.
Wow. Sorry. I had no idea
Tombstone was bidding.
No harm, no foul, kitten.
But this little
chew toy is strictly
for the big dogs.
So scat,
cat.
Now, gentlemen,
shall we get down

DONALD: Our final bidder
should arrive soon.
Wait a minute, Menken.
You said this was
a closed auction.
Nothing's closed to
Silvio Manfredi's daughter.
You should know that
by now, Hamster.
Huh. Little Sable,
all grown up.
Hmm. A girl grows up
fast in this company.
Yeah. Welcome to
the freak show.
Gentlemen and lady,
you know why we're here.
Shall we open the
bidding at $500,000?
It'll make such a
nice homecoming
gift for my father.
Six hundred. Seven hundred.
HAMMERHEAD: Eight hundred. SABLE: Nine hundred.
HAMMERHEAD: A mil. SABLE: One-point-five.
HAMMERHEAD: Two. Two million dollars
and one cent!
Fifty million.
Why drag this out?
Mr. Kingsley,
I'm afraid your bid
exceeds the amount
deposited in your
bidding account.
DONALD: In fact,
it exceeds everyone's.
I'll transfer the balance
when the bank opens
in the morning.
We'll do the same. Yeah.
Then we'll resume
tomorrow night.
Someone needs
to watch your back.
That's why all
our officers have
partners in the field.
For example, if Mr. Thompson
and Mr. Parker shared
a squad car
Couldn't I have
a police dog instead?
You know, for the
extra IQ points?
Wisecracks don't
save lives, Pete.
As I'm sure you know.
[BELL RINGING]
Sorry, Hobie.
Hold that thought.
Dude! Is that
an OsCorp Oz-Berry?
GPS, Internet,
holographic display.
This is a prototype.
It's not even on
the market yet!
Yeah, your dad
gave it to me.
To keep track
of me, I guess.
It's a mentor-mentee
thing. I never use it.
It's cool, Pete.
I'm used to it.
Petey! Italian or French?
Uh, Spanish, actually.
Next period.
Hello? For our
dinner tonight?
Oh, man.
I promised Mr. Foswell
I'd stop by the Bugle
after school.
But I'm sure
I'll be done in time
to pick you up.
Say, 7:00? Ish?You'll be late.
But if you actually
show up this time,
I'll consider it a victory.
JAMESON: No, no, no,
and furthermore, no!
But boss, Silvio
Silvermane Manfredi is getting
out of prison this month.
And the auction's how he's
taking his criminal empire
back from the Big Man!
Foswell, you've got
Silvermane on the brain.
I'm not risking
another dime on
this crazy story.
[GRUNTING] Guy wins
a Pulitzer for his Silvermane
expose 12 years ago,
and all he's gotten
since is lazy.
Uh, Mr. Foswell?
I couldn't help overhearing,
you know, at Jonah volume.
You wanted some
photos for your
Silvermane-Big Man story?
Not sure there
is a story anymore.
PETER: Not sure
there is one, either.
But if the Big Man's
involved, I want in.
Maybe pictures would change
the jolly one's mind.
Hey, what gives?
I wanna bid
for my boss.
I think not.
Your mystery employer
withdrew all the money
from his bidding account.
Beat it, small fry.
PETER: Hey, I know that guy.
Or Spidey does, anyway.
Hey, Pete. Thanks
for meeting me.
PETER: Does everyone
have a secret identity?
DONALD: I believe
Mr. Kingsley's last
bid was 50 million.
Fifty-one million.
HAMMERHEAD: Fifty-two. KINGSLEY: Fifty-five.
[CHUCKLES] Patch planted
a bug on Menken.
[CHUCKLES] That's great,
Mr. Foswell. But why
do we care?
Silvio Manfredi ran
this town until the Feds
put him away.
And the Big Man took over.
But now that
Silvermane's getting out,
there'll be a gang war
for control of the city.
Silvermane's old guard versus
the Big Man's status quo,
versus Doc Ock's new breed
of weirdoes in costumes!
So what are they
all bidding on? The keys to the city.
The specs to mass-produce
an army of Rhino-armored
supermercenaries.
PETER: Startin' to see
why we care.
A hundred mil.
Top that, princess.
One-twenty-five. One-fifty!
KINGSLEY:
Five hundred million.
DONALD: I have
$500 million bid.
Going once, twice
[GAVEL BANGS] Sold, to Roderick Kingsley.
Doesn't this Kingsley guy
own a perfume company?
I mean, how does he fit in?
[GRUNTS] Don't know. Shh!
DONALD: Mr. Kingsley,
you may claim the jump drive
with the specs
in one hour
at a Tribeca warehouse.
116 Hudson Street.
I should go now.
You know, score a prime-time
spot to snap some pics.
Okay, kid, but
keep your distance.
I'm calling in the cops
and don't want you
caught in the crossfire.
[BEEPS]
[SIRENS WAILING]
[TIRES SCREECHING]
[ENGINE HISSING]
Step out of the limo
with your hands up!
PETER: Well, that's a relief.
Maybe I'll make my date
with Liz after all.
[HELICOPTER WHIRRING] Or not.
[ALL COUGHING]
[GRUNTING]
[GRUNTS]
[MEN GRUNTING]
[GASPS]
Sable Manfredi?
[GRUNTS]
Call me Silver Sable.
Now, I believe you have
something for my father?
[STAMMERING] We paid
for this fair and
And all this time I thought
they called you Hammerhead
'cause you had
a thing for sharks.
Steel-plated.
[GROANS]
I said it before,
and I'll say it again.
Don't mess with the big dogs.
SABLE: For me?
You shouldn't have.
I didn't.
Some things never change.
Get me out of here!
[GRUNTS] [TIRES SQUEALING]
Not me. The box!
Although I'm tempted
to let you two take
each other out,
and don't get me
started on the
entertainment value
of a kick line
of Rhinos at Radio City,
I'm thinking we keep
this tech under wraps.
PETER: At least Doc Ock
decided not to play.
Indeed, I thought
you'd want to know.
[GRUNTS]
Still usin'
the same dirty tricks?
Oh, I have new ones, too.
[SABLE GRUNTING]
HAMMERHEAD:
You're good, princess.
I had a good teacher.
[EXCLAIMING]
And that's why I
broke up with you.
I could never get anything
through your thick skull.
Way my skull remembers it,
I dumped you.
Whoa, whoa.
You two dated?
Ew. He keeps getting
in the way.
How about we partner up
one last time to delete him
from the equation.
Finally, something
we can agree on.
Whoa, Hammy, what'd
you see in her?
[GRUNTS]We had a lot in common.
Like hating spiders.
So glad I could bring
you two kids together.
[BOTH STRAINING] [ELECTRONIC BEEPING]
Empty?BOTH: Empty?
Kingsley. He tricked us! He tricked you. Took the gizmo
and handed you an empty box!
Sorry, gotta swing!
And there goes my story.
Bait and switch.
Sometimes, the classics really
are the best. [CHUCKLING]
[GASPS] You.
The one and only. And I plan
on keepin' it that way.
Hate to horn in,
but [GRUNTS]
[BOTH GRUNTING]
Hey!
Oh! Oh, I got the thing
on the thing.
What do I win? You!
I win me?
That makes no sense.
[GROWLING]
[PHONE BEEPS] I need the police.
New York will belong
to Silvermane! To the Big Man!
Good. Let them hug
it out. I've got bigger,
uglier problems.
Whoa! Oh, this is gonna hurt.
[TIRES SQUEALING]
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
Sorry about your
ride, Hamster.
But you shouldn't have
taken my drive. [GRUNTS]
My drive. I mean,
the Big Man's drive.
[IMPACT, GRUNTING] No one's drive!
No more Rhinos!
[ROCKET FIRING]
Don't you just hate
being interrupted?
[GROANS]
So, needle-nose,
just to be clear,
you want to destroy
the specs, too?
Yeah. I don't need
no competition.
[SIGHS] I know
I'll regret this, but,
you wanna partner up
to destroy it?
[LAUGHING]
Okay. But first we
get 'em down here.
[GRUNTS]
Not big on subtle, huh?
[GRUNTS]
I want that drive!
Get the point?
Look, if we're gonna work
together, you've gotta
get better material.
[GRUNTS]
Wow, they really
have issues. Yeah. Wanna get in there?
Hey, I'm a professional pest.
[SCREAMS]
Nice one, partner.
Sorry, I'm dismembering
our partnership.
[RUMBLING]
What? No high-fives?
No "kumbayas"?
I'm shocked.
Shocked, I tell you!
[GROWLING]
Daddy was so
right to fire you.
That's what I get
for taking pity on
the boss's daughter.
[GROWLING] [RUMBLING]
[ENGINE STARTING]
Missed again.
Not aimin' at you.
Aw, man, tell me
I did not just fall
for a gag I once
used on Shocker.
[SIRENS WAILING]
[STRAINING]
[COUGHING]
[GROANS]
[GRUNTING]
Got the idea
from Miss Manfredi.
Figured if it worked
on me, it'd work on
mindless over there.
Good call. Thanks.
Hey, never hurts
to have someone
watch your back.
Leastways, that's
what I tell my students.
Those are some
lucky students.
DONALD: I'm sorry,
Mr. Kingsley. We gave
you the merchandise.
Securing it was your
concern. No refunds.
[BUTTON BEEPING] [PHONE DIALING]
[RINGING] NORMAN: Yes.
Everything went exactly
as you planned.
So no one knows you gave
Kingsley a fake drive
in the first place?
DONALD: No, sir.
You have half a
billion dollars
in an unmarked account
to use as you see fit.
Plus the original
to resell later
[BUTTON BEEPS] Or use yourself.
Very good. [HANGS UP]
PETER: Liz,
I am so, so sorry.
But I can show you
pictures to prove I
was helping Mr. Foswell.
I'm not mad. Okay, sure,
it's too late to go out,
but at least you
showed this time.
I kind of don't deserve you.
You kind of don't.
But we'll work on that.
[SIGHS] Wow,
Gwen is so cool.
I mean Liz. Liz!
JAMESON: Enough with
the gang war already!
Auction this,
jump drive that.
No one cares!
Police report says
the web-head teamed
up with Rhino!
Rogue Spidey.
That's our lead story!
They're the same story!
Got your pictures, partner.
Rhino and Spidey fighting
Hammerhead and Silver Sable
to destroy the jump drive
and prevent a gang war.
They were? They did?
Foswell, where's that story?
[MUMBLING]
What do ya want,
another Pulitzer?
I got breaking news
to publish. Out, out, out!
