If Empire State U wants to bulldoze the Bill Roy Towers housing project, then the people

who live there should be compensated.

90% of those people work right here on campus.

Where will they work if they're displaced?

Where will they work if they have to look for a place to live?

She's got a good point.

A lot of your wild-eyed student radicals agree, and some just love the idea of a good protest.

I wish I could say I was either one of those, but here I am, a college freshman yet still

on the outside looking in, and as is often the case, I find myself looking at her.

That's Mary Jane Watson.

If someone would just pay me to take pictures of her, I'd take that job for free.

Excuse me?

Huh?

I have to sweep that.

Uh...

You got a problem?

It's just kind of funny that you had to sweep that exact spot right now.

Everyone else is on lunch break.

Everyone else is out there protesting.

So I guess you don't go for that yay-rah-rah stuff either, huh?

No, I don't go for kicking people out of their homes.

So, uh, you live in Vila Roy Towers?

Why?

You gonna help me relocate?

Can I bunk with you in your apartment?

Didn't think so.

Hey Peter, you harassing people with that weapon of yours again?

Harassing people?

Harry's practicing being a titan of industry.

Hey, the shoe fits.

I'll have you know I have a meeting with my dad's board of directors tomorrow.

Oh, I just realized you're a management guy.

No fun at a protest.

M.J., protests generally aren't about fun.

That's because you haven't been to one with me.

So, where to next?

Me?

Manhattan Museum of Art.

I'm gonna try and sell the Daily Bugle pictures of the new Antiquities exhibit.

You can't run away from me forever, Peter Parker.

It is indeed a pleasure to add these gems to our temporary collection.

The jewel in the crown is this 17th century 253 carat star ruby.

Peter Parker, Daily Bugle.

Could I get a shot of you with the gem?

A little to your left.

Later.

Nobody likes a tail, Peter.

Talk about road rage.

Hey, anyone see a crook?

About 6'1" moves fast, looks like a driver for the space shuttle.

Who do you think we are?

We don't deal with any crooks.

Yeah, we're just trying to hang on to our homes.

Hey, cut me a little slack.

I'm trying to catch a bad guy.

The only bad guy I see here is you.

Some guys just can't catch a break.

We're going to have to get out of here.

I'm speaking from Vilaroy Towers, soon to make way for an expanded ESU campus.

This is where residents yesterday found the 17th century star ruby stolen from the Manhattan

Museum of Art.

Residents here say the thief must have dropped the stolen gem while eluding authorities.

Now they'll use the reward money for their fight with the university.

Officer Barr, do we know how the ruby thief came to be here?

We're not positive, but Spider-Man was seen in the area.

The residents chased him away.

Witnesses at the museum say the Habsburg treasure was stolen by a guy who moved like a vortex.

No, wait a little more this way.

Spider-Man usually acts alone.

Pete, wouldn't it be a lot easier to move if you unplugged it?

Except for I'm watching.

Spider-Man's a crook.

No news there.

Harry, I get that you think Spider-Man killed your father.

On account of he did?

I was at the museum when that turbo jet guy stole it.

I think he gave it to the Vilaroi Towers folks for the reward money.

You mean kind of a Robin Hood men in tights thing?

I'm pretty sure he wasn't wearing tights.

Who wasn't wearing tights and why would you know?

Turbo Jet.

Peter thinks he's some kind of Robin Hood good guy.

Could you play couch potato for a sec?

It's a stretch, but I'll try.

The screen should be at a 20 degree angle for optimal viewing.

I'll tell ya, those costume nuts are all a menace if you ask me.

If this turbo jet did purposely help all those people, he gets my vote.

Agree or disagree?

Jay, lay off the Hollywood squares, would ya?

TV looks fine, Pete.

Where you goin'?

Told ya.

Oscorp Board of Directors.

So where do you come out on this thing?

Everyone expects Spider-Man to obey the law.

Why not turbo jet?

Don't you ever just go with your feelings?

Well, yeah, sometimes, you.

Always.

There.

Your father very much wanted a new science center to be built at ESU.

Now that Oscorp has convinced the university to demolish the Vilaroi Towers, his wish can

become a reality.

I knew that a month ago.

Why am I here?

We'd like you to make the announcement.

It's what your father would have wanted.

This wouldn't have anything to do with the campus protests.

Harry, I'm surprised.

Having an ESU student announce a science center on controversial properties sort of makes

it go down a little easier.

Well, you certainly are your father's son.

Oh, you certainly are that.

He would have questioned it too, but he would have also seen the opportunity to do some

real good, show him.

This telescope was once owned by Galileo.

He never showed it to me.

Your father was afraid you might not share his enthusiasm.

He told you that?

The important thing is your father wanted the university to have this, to auction off.

A great way to kick off the new science center campaign, Harry.

A great way.

So go with me here.

I run around Manhattan saving people and I'm a menace.

Turbojet steals a small fortune and he's instant hero.

Maybe I need an image makeover.

I'm Spider-Man.

Get him out of here!

You.

Sorry, but you forgot your library card.

No manners.

I'm Spider-Man.

Give me the book.

Who's gonna miss some musty old paperback?

Not for us to decide.

So you blindly enforce the rules, is that it?

Well, I'm out there trying to help folks.

Uh-huh.

Like the pedestrians.

You almost hit with a truck?

No, not them.

You're a guard.

You nearly electrocuted.

You know what I think?

You're jealous.

You wish everyone liked you the way they liked me.

I'm not going to ask twice.

In that case...

Excuse me.

I hate when that happens.

You know, this hero of yours sent a security guard to the hospital last night.

Guys in a coma.

A cop on a high-speed chase runs over a civilian.

How is that any different?

Two wrongs don't make a right.

A little help?

Listen, there's something I need to tell you guys.

Huh?

My dad's company is involved.

Yeah!

Huh?

It's Ascor.

They're the reason they're bulldozing Billeroy Towers.

My dad's company convinced ESU to bulldoze Billeroy Towers.

I'm getting a bad feeling here.

This is just the kind of thing I'm talking about.

The have's on campus making deals against the have-nots.

We'd better get out of here.

Peter, mamanos!

I'm gonna get a good deal.

Hey, you.

The protest committee's meeting in the community room.

They got pizza and stuff.

You wanna come down there with me?

Alina, you know I don't go for that.

Still messing around in that workroom of yours?

What you got in there, anyway?

Just some stuff.

You gotta face the fact that we are all gonna have to move soon.

The protest committee says that we--

The protest committee's not helping anyone except people who like being on protest committees.

Free pizza and useless talk.

They got everyone running down there like sheep.

You think you know better?

You say that like it would be difficult.

Okay, then.

Later.

Next time you better hope I don't see your freaky little face, spider-man.

It's all there, minus my commission.

What's next?

A telescope.

A four million dollar telescope.

Whoa, that could be a problem defense.

I got a couple of easy scores I can tip you off to, my man.

No, I want the telescope for what it stands for.

You could be a rich man.

You quit the hero business.

I just do what needs to be done.

If people want to make me a hero, that's only 'cause they're too stupid to help themselves.

Okay, man, whatever.

There's a word for someone like you, Weiler, criminal.

Yes, some bugs don't know when they've been squashed.

I know you won't be going anywhere without this.

That's two of them.

No.

It must have been a shadow.

It's just spider-man.

Call for backup.

No.

Drop the cash or put your hands up.

You got the wrong guy.

Yeah.

So the answer lies in how we interpret the valence of the resulting molecule.

You can see the extra electrons here, here, and here.

Come on.

You know something was going to be built on that land no matter what.

I'm just helping make it worthwhile.

I'm sorry.

Were you calling science worthwhile?

Yeah, I had trouble buying them myself.

Little help?

I don't think things are so black and white.

As in, you're feelings for another person.

Mm, more like one person's good deed might be another person's crime.

Oh.

Okay, how about if you both come with me to make my presentation tonight?

Look, I'd really appreciate the support.

I promise to make sure both sides of the argument are heard.

What do you say?

Well, in that case...

Great.

I gotta get there early.

You two should show up about six.

Pick me up on your eye.

S.O.2 with a polyvalent ion.

Can I meet you there?

I have to do something this evening.

Uh-huh, see?

All of a sudden, my behavior looks pretty reliable.

We're here... are we on?

We're here tonight to celebrate our bond with Empire State University.

A campus beloved by the late founder of Oscorp, Norman Osborn.

You made tonight's presentation.

I would like to introduce to you Oscorp's majority shareholder and esteemed ESU student,

Harry Osborn.

Uh, I'm not sure if "esteemed" is the right word.

Maybe if I'd been to class more often, I'd know what it meant.

You suck, Osborn!

Thank you.

I had a prepared speech, but my friend, Mary Jane Watson, got me thinking about how an

institution like Empire State U should grow, who it helps, who it hurts, which brings us

to Galileo.

Galileo looked through this, saw the possibility, and so do I.

Later.

Give it up, Wyler.

How do you know the cops won't take you in, too?

I'll take my chances.

The people like the way I get things done.

Not you, Spidey Boy.

Those people?

Wow.

I thought they're the ones you said were stupid for making you a hero.

You did say that, didn't you, Wyler?

Now, you had to take care of things because they couldn't?

Just back off.

I guess a little piece of history is history.

Go for it.

It's a fake.

That's bull.

Spider-Man's right.

He tipped us off in advance, and we set it up with the Oscorp board.

I'm not going down.

I helped those people.

Yeah, and you did it with such good feelings.

I'm pretty sure that's what touches them the most.

I'm pretty sure that's what touches them the most.

Let me go.

You don't know what a desperate man might do in that case.

Nice punch.

I'd take a few steps back if I were you.

Here you are, saving me again.

Oh, man's gotta have hobbies.

Spider-Man?

I mean, not that we had anything.

Well, sure, there was that kiss, but it's not like we ever went out salsa dancing or

anything like that.

I think I understand.

No, you don't.

What I'm trying to say is, there's someone else.

There is?

Anybody I know?

I don't think he even knows.

Look, the cops listened to me, but I don't want to stick around for questions.

I know.

Go.

And in other news, residents of Villaroy Towers are busy planning moves to new homes, thanks

to the donation of a priceless Galileo telescope to their relocation fund.

Empire State freshman Harry Osborn made the announcement.

I can't believe you didn't tell me before we went there last night.

You didn't know you were gonna make that donation, didn't you?

It will help.

Uh, MJ, you see, Harry, like all great men, knows that actions speak louder than words.

Yeah, is that so, in that case?

Woohoo!

How's it doing?

Hey, at least let me enjoy it for a minute.

Thanks for watching.
