I told you this place was cool.

Now if we could just con some girls into coming by.

In your dreams, man.

No way chicks appreciate the cobweb slash vermin look.

Yeah right, like you would know.

You talkin' to me?

You talkin' to me?

You must be talkin' to me cause I don't see anybody else here.

Maybe we should go.

Cityscape by Peter Parker.

Few people know the sheer beauty of Manhattan is seen from 30 stories up on a calm summer

night.

And with good reason, this city is never calm.

I guess I don't need to tell you to hang on, Spider-Man hurry!

Thanks Spider-Man.

We'd love to help, but we're outta here.

Help with what?

Some kind of ghost here.

Dude, he tried to shred us.

Right, and the dog ate your homework.

The car started by itself, and that secondhand smoke your mom smells on you.

Crap, he's been followin' us.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Well, heh heh.

Not sure what I'm doin' over the break.

Maybe take the company jet over to the Cote d'Jorb, stay at the Hotel Marguerite, do a little

waterskiing, uh, hello.

Oh, Peter!

Francesca?

Peter?

Peter Francesca?

Heh heh, Francesca doesn't speak a word of English, heh heh.

And as designated campus ambassador, I volunteered to show her around.

Does that make me shallow?

Well, uh, that's only one side of you.

You do have another side, don't you?

Workin' on it.

Cóndo tio vio, tone tu eveleza, mi a tu se encopoto di tiova.

Heh heh.

What?

Did I say that wrong?

Yeah, having just a shallow side isn't so bad.

Easy for you to say, Brainiac.

Maybe if I had a little more of your shallowness, I wouldn't keep messing up with girls.

I'm gonna take that as a compliment.

Electronegativity is the topic, now, if two atoms have different electronegativities,

the two ions will attract each other and form an ionic bond.

Any questions?

Don't be afraid to ask now, because this is all gonna be on your midterm.

I've heard our midterm is a real bitch.

We should trade study notes.

Good idea.

Come on, don't complain to me after the test that you didn't understand it.

Yes, Sally.

Uh, Professor Williams.

Just wondering, who got the highest score ever on this test?

Why, pray tell, do you ask?

No particular reason.

Max Dillon got the highest score.

Now, I know you've all heard the rumors, but all we know for sure is that no one has seen

or heard from Max since the night Doug Reisman was murdered.

Max Dillon was a troubled young man.

That's enough on that subject.

I heard Max was living in a box behind Port Authority.

I'm sorry.

You have something to add?

No, no thanks.

Good.

Then back to electronegativity.

You okay?

Pretty weird if you ask me.

I didn't.

Cut her some slack, okay?

Sally was the last person Max seemed to connect with when, you know, that night.

Ionic bonds are always formed as the result of a gain and loss of electrons, but it is

the electrostatic attraction between the ions which is responsible for the bond.

Uh, uh, uh.

Responsible for the bond.

Track attraction.

Once bonded, the attraction persists until an additional positive or negative force is

introduced to upset the equilibrium.

Sally!

Max!

Hey, is somebody playing a joke?

What do you want?

Leave me alone.

Leave me alone.

Leave me alone.

Who's there?

Oh my god.

What are you doing to me?

You like experiments, don't you, professor?

I'm sorry.

Don't go.

Don't go.

Come on.

Don't go.

The cops say she was pumped with high voltage.

Sound like anyone we know?

Yeah.

Professor Williams was talking about Max yesterday in chemistry.

This is so freaky.

What'd she say?

Nothing to make him try to kill her.

Just some stuff about how well he did on the chem mid-year.

Yeah.

That's good motivation.

Do as well as the electrified freak.

Hey, did Spider-Man take the chem midterm?

Why not throw him into the mix?

They're both murderers.

No, no, Sally Johnson brought up Max, not Professor Williams.

Okay.

Now I know you like her, but Sally's nuts.

Has been ever since that night.

I am not nuts.

You don't get it.

He's stalking me.

Oh, hey Sally.

Look, I was just...

Well, she sends me messages on my computer.

Then he shows up on my TV.

He's all like, "How he's gonna take charge now that Con Ed recharges batteries."

Who?

Max Dillon.

He was on my TV.

And I'm not crazy.

Don't you see?

He did this to Professor Williams, and I'm next.

Here are my chem study notes, in case Professor Williams ever recovers.

Indie, hey.

Hi, Harry.

Is this a "bring your own brains" party?

Because mine's fully loaded.

Excellent.

Mine's overloaded.

Hey.

Hey, yourself.

Did you know electrostatic transference is possible when a super high voltage discharge

meets a proportionate mass of neon?

Actually, it's more complicated than that.

Basically, an object that can conduct electricity has a tendency to retain energy.

Kids, try to get them to spend their time wisely.

Like watching R-rated DVDs.

But no.

They can't wait to do that web research.

The attraction persists until an additional positive or negative force is introduced to

upset the equilibrium.

Max!

Hey!

Is somebody playing a joke?

I failed on the question.

Okay, Max.

Or should I say electro?

Visiting hours are now open.

I'd like to help you, but you are officially out of control.

Oh, and FYI, Sally's really stoked.

Yeah, she loves hooking up with amped up homicidal maniacs.

Stay away from Sally!

Yeah, nice try.

That's what I'm here to tell you.

I'll do what I need to do.

Max!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Sally, Sally, it's almost time.

Here's our man of mystery now.

I had to check on my bio lab results.

What got you so freaked out you couldn't tell me on voicemail?

Here for yourself.

It's a voice speaking in reverse.

You got that from Sally.

She records her study notes, then burns them for me.

Hey, you know what this is like?

It's like those old Beatle albums my dad used to make me listen to.

You played them backwards and you'd hear stuff like, "I buried Paul."

Can you imagine turning a record by hand?

How lame is that?

Thanks for the ancient history.

Actually, you should thank MP3.

I've downloaded Sally's CD and saved it as a waveform.

Exactly what I would have done.

And the result is...

I only wanted to belong, to have friends.

I humiliated myself to get them, and now I'm totally alone!

I don't want to go on like this.

It's Max.

Or Electro.

I don't even know.

I know you think we can never be together, but we can.

But first, I have to try something out on someone who will appreciate it.

Oh my God, he's lonely.

He wants Sally.

Yeah, they're going to turn it into one of those romance novels with Fabio on the cover.

MJ.

He almost killed a professor for no good reason.

Actually, he just told us his reason.

Professor Williams was his trial run, trying to make a human into an electro like him.

And the next run is Sally.

I'm calling campus security.

And where do you think you're rushing off to, young man?

To look for Spider-Man.

I've done some research, and if I can hook him up with a high-voltage storage container...

You think Spider-Man can save the day?

Not without your help.

OSCORP uses HVSCs in their munitions lab.

Call ahead tonight's security at OSCORP.

Hello?

Is this Foster Hall's security?

But how do you know where Max will go?

He made a mistake with Professor Williams.

Not enough juice.

There's only one place that has the electrical supply he needs.

Alan, don't leave me alone.

Please, don't do this to me.

I can learn from my mistakes, Sally.

I'll get it right this time.

No, please.

Why me?

Don't you remember?

You smiled at me.

You cared.

No one ever cared before.

No.

No, it's not like you're me.

You do care for me, don't you, Sally?

Don't you!

Max!

Hey buddy, what's up?

The guys at Kappa Tutti Kappa were just talking about you the other day.

About how smart you are.

What Harry meant to say is that people on campus remember you fondly, Max.

Why ruin a good reputation?

Besides, you say you love Sally.

Sally.

Hope Peter has better luck.

Sally, this will hurt me more than it hurts you.

You got that right.

This is going to hurt you more.

Sally!

I told you, Sally is mine!

Sally!

Oh God, she's disappearing.

Max, no!

Engie, get her out of here.

Okay, Sparkle Boy.

Time to lose your static cling.

You're coming up short!

Freeze!

Please, I can't feel.

You'll learn to.

Battery's stuck.

Melt it.

Okay, if I'm not grounded, this better work.

No!

I tried to help, but...

Look!

This thing is about to burst.

Go!

You two can help for Sally.

Oh no!

Hope this finally puts an end to your pain, Max.

Coffee?

Yeah, I know.

It's not from the drip den, but it beats instant.

They say Professor Williams is going to be all right.

Yeah, thanks to you know.

Yeah, I do know.

Pete, I'm not sure what to think anymore.

About Spider-Man.

Sure can drive you nuts when everything you believe in gets thrown out the window.

But the fact is, things aren't usually black or white.

Electro was just looking for respect and companionship.

Not in a good way, that's for sure.

But he wasn't as evil as people might have thought.

And Spider-Man?

Well, some people love him, some hate him.

And I guess Harry's just trying to figure it all out.

Aren't we all?
