PETER
Here's one. [hands over Norman's body]
CORONER
That'll be $100.
NORMAN
I'm not dead!
CORONER
What?
PETER
Nothing. Here's your money.
NORMAN
I'm not dead!
CORONER
Hey, he says he's not dead!
PETER
Yes, he is.
NORMAN
I'm not!
CORONER
He isn't?
PETER
Well, he will be soon. He's very ill.
NORMAN
I'm getting better!
PETER
No, you're not. You'll be stone dead in a
moment.
CORONER
Oh, I can't take him like that. It's against
regulations.
NORMAN
I don't want to go to the morgue!
PETER
Oh, don't be such a baby.....
CORONER
I can't take him.
NORMAN
I feel fine!
PETER
Well, do me a favor.
CORONER
I can't.
PETER
Well, can you hang around a couple of minutes?
He won't be long.
CORONER
No, I've got to go to the Robinsons'. They've
lost nine today.
PETER
Well, when's your next round?
CORONER
Thursday.
NORMAN
I think I'll go for a walk.
PETER
You're not fooling anyone, you know. Look,
isn't there something you can do?
NORMAN
I feel happy... I feel happy.
[the guy bashes Norman in the head ...]
PETER
Oh, thanks so much.
CORONER
Not at all. See you later.
PETER
Right.
Here's another one....
NORMAN
One day, son, all this will be yours!
HARRY
What, the curtains?
NORMAN
No. Not the curtains! All the laboratories
and factories that OsCorp owns, will be yours.
HARRY
B-- b-- but dad, I don't want any of that.
NORMAN
Listen, Harry. I built this company up from
nothing. When I started here, all there was was a warehouse. Other CEO's
said I was an idiot to start my own business, but I started it all the
same, just to show them. It went bankrupt. So, I started a second
one. That went bankrupt. So, I started a third one. The factory exploded,
burned down, and then the company went bankrupt, but the fourth one...OsCorp
Industries.....survived! And that's what you're gonna get, Harry: the most
financially stable company in the city.
HARRY
But I don't want any of that. I'd rather--
NORMAN
Rather what?!
HARRY
I'd rather... [music starts] ...just...
sing!
NORMAN
Stop that! Stop that! You're not going into
a song while I'm here.
HARRY
But Father!
NORMAN
Shut your noise, you! We're going to the board
meeting! Get that suit on!
HARRY
......[music starts up again]
NORMAN
And no singing!
Okay, this is the part where Peter goes to rescue.....the girl (snicker)
PETER
Don't worry...I came as soon as I could--
Oh, I'm terribly sorry.
HARRY
You got my note!
PETER
Uh, well, I-- I got a-- a note.
HARRY
You've come to rescue me!
PETER
Uh, well, no. You see, I hadn't--
HARRY
I knew someone would. I knew that somewhere
out there... [music starts up]
PETER
Well, I--
HARRY
...there must be... someone...
NORMAN
Stop that! Stop that! Stop it! Stop it! Who
are you?
HARRY
I'm your son!
NORMAN
No, not you.
PETER
Uh, I'm Peter Parker, sir.
HARRY
He's come to rescue me, father.
PETER
Well, let's not jump to conclusions.
NORMAN
Did you kill all those guards?
PETER
Uh... Oh, yes. Sorry.
NORMAN
They cost $300 each!
PETER
Well, I'm awfully sorry. Um, I really can
explain everything.
HARRY
Don't be afraid of him, Peter. I've got a
rope all ready. [he throws it out the window and starts climbing
down]
PETER
Well, uh, you see, the thing is, I thought
your son was a lady.
NORMAN
I can understand that.
HARRY
Hurry, Peter! Hurry!
NORMAN
Shut up! You only killed twenty guards, that's
all!
PETER
Well, I really didn't mean to...
NORMAN
Didn't mean to?! You put the one guy's head
through a wall!
PETER
Oh, dear. Is he all right?
NORMAN
This is going to cost me a fortune!
PETER
Well, I can explain. I was heading for the
Science Fair, when I got this note, you see--
NORMAN
Science fair? You mean the one at Columbia?
HARRY
Hurry, Peter!
PETER
Uh, yeah...I'm a chemistry major, sir.
NORMAN
Nice school, Columbia. Uh, very good chemistry
department.
PETER
Is it?
HARRY
Hurry! I'm ready!
NORMAN
Would you, uh, like to come and have a drink?
PETER
Well, that-- that's, uh, awfully nice of you,...
HARRY
I'm ready!
PETER
...um, I mean to be so understanding....
[Norman cuts the rope, making Harry fall out of the window]
HARRY
O_o
PETER
...I'm afraid when I'm in this idiom, I sometimes
get a bit, uh, sort of carried away.
NORMAN
Oh, don't worry about that.
HARRY
O_o Ahhhh...!! [splat]
[snickers] So what'd you think? ....it's silly, I know, but it's Monty Python! What do you expect?
