"[GASPS]" "Harry!" "Hey, Pete." "Not exactly the greeting I was expecting, but who'd have guessed you'd take up kung fu while I was gone?" "Sorry, man, sorry." "Uh, when did you get back?" "Last night." "I-- Harry!" "Hey, Gwen." "Uh" "Man, I've missed you." "I mean, both of you." "Harry, you" " You remember Liz." "Well, we're um..." "So I gather." "Congrats." "[BELL RINGS]" "[CROWD GROANING]" "You coming, Pete?" "Don't want to miss Principal Davis' always riveting start-of-semester speech." "[SHUDDERS]" "Great memories, huh?" "You and me, always giving 100 percent then giving a little more to get the win." "[PIANO PLAYING UPBEAT JAZZ]" "Surprised you'd show your face without anything sparkly to make it palatable."

"When I was taking the Green, you were the only one who noticed I was in trouble and tried to help." "[BELL RINGS]" "All right, that wraps up the, uh" "Whoa!" "Whoa!" "Whoa!" "No running!" "So, uh, Gwen, um," "I got an invite to Flash's birthday party, and I don't suppose you'd, uh, be my date?" "Date?" "Like a date-date?" "Yeah, a date-date." "Date-date-date." "Your call." "Sure." "Why not?" "So you guys wanna double?" "Sorry, Flash's ex, remember?" "[CHUCKLES]" "I wasn't invited." "Um, I" " I was." "Uh, not that I'm planning on going." "Wow." "He knows we're a couple, and he still invited you." "I guess he's cool with it." "Yeah, right." "Flash Thompson is growing as a person." "Well, what's your explanation?" "Then it's settled." "This Saturday, we're a foursome." "Great." "Great." "Yee-ha!" "Wow, that was feeble." "What's your problem, Pete?" "I mean, life's good." "Aunt May's getting stronger every day." "You finally got a girlfriend." "Maybe not the one you figured on, but still..." "And, hey, Harry's back." "I just hope he can stay off the Globulin Green." "Last thing I need is "The Return of the Green Goblin."" "Only thing more horrifying is "Double Date at Flash Thompson's" or" "Eddie Brock!" "[ALARM RINGS]" "That alarm."

"Has anyone seen Petey?" "[♪♪♪]" "[COUGHS]" "You keep getting in my way." "Now I got a buyer willing to pay top black market dollar for the Urn of Morpheus here, and there's no way I'm missing out on my big score." "Are you taller?" "[SANDMAN LAUGHS]" "A little trick I picked up in prison." "Kept losing bits a sand, so my lawyers made them feed me raw silicates." "I can absorb as much of the stuff as I want." "But that's not my only trick." "Sandy, you're pathetic." "I'm pathetic?" "Totally." "With your powers, you could do some real good." "Help people." "But you waste it all on the same stupid crimes Flint Marko committed." "Gee, do you really think I could be a hero like you?" "Well, yeah." "I" " I mean, with great power comes great" "Gullibility!"

"[ENGINE REVS] [TIRES SCREECH]" "PETER:" "Now, stop." "Whoa." "When you said Flash lived just around the corner," "I didn't know you meant just around the corner." "Hey, big guy, are you ready for your birthday kiss?" "Mwah." "Who invited the geek squad?" "Why's Puny Parker crashing my party?" "Uh, you sent me an invitation." "Uh-uh." "Sending invites wasn't my job." "It was..." "Mom!" "Well, of course I invited Peter." "After all, he's your best friend." "That was in nursery school!" "Flash was part of the nerd herd?" "Who do you think gave Eugene his nickname?" "And hey, it wasn't because he ran fast." "I was 4, okay?" "Mom!" "You call that a castle?" "Yeah!" "[♪♪♪]" "BOY 1:" "Kid's a witch!" "BOY 2:" "Yeah!" "Mr. Sandman?" "Yes?" "Thanks." "Don't mention it, kid." "Now run along." "it's getting cold out." "Now, you're nice to "wittle" girls?" "I knew you was going soft." "It had nothing to do with the girl." "I wanted to torment the teens." "Just give me my payoff." "That's it?" "What'd you expect?" "That's what's left after the Big Man took his cut and the Master Planner collected his "loan-out fee"" "for your super-villain services." "Aw, this was supposed to be my big score." "Then you're not thinking big enough." "That oil tanker?" "Find a way to stop it." "I got frogmen ready to drain it dry." "All that crude." "Now that would make for a big score." "Captain, aren't we getting a little close to the beach?" "Looks like the beach is getting closer to us." "[♪♪♪]" "[ALARM RINGING]" "[COMPUTER BEEPING]" "[ALL SCREAMING]" "You'll want to abandon ship now!" "Your hair's gotten longer." "It's nice." "Doesn't seem like much has changed while I was gone."

"Invoking best friend privilege." "See, Flash is my main man." "Never have won State without him." "And, dude, did he take a hit!" "Probably destroyed his football career, his chance at a college scholarship, well, everything..." "Kenny." "Ow!" "Uh, hey, wanna see how many chips" "I can fit in my mouth?" "You mean in addition to your foot?" "Did either of you see Eddie Brock?" "No, why?" "He's gone." "Assuming he was ever here." "ANNOUNCER [ON RADIO]:" "Breaking news." "The notorious Sandman has been spotted attacking an oil tanker at Rockaway Beach." "We'll have more on the hour." "In the meantime, here's an oldie but a goodie from the Chordettes." "Okay, Sandman, I know you're here." "And you're going down." "I don't care how big you get." "[HULL SQUEALING]" "Oh, really?" "[LAUGHING]" "Yeah, Mom, of course I'm having fun." "The party rocks." "Everyone's here." "Almost..." "Hey, Rand, you seen Sha Shan?" "RAND:" "Sorry, Romeo." "[SIGHS]" "I" " I don't get it." "I'm Flash Thompson," "Hero, legend." "Girls don't stand the Flash up." "They jump at the chance to..." "Mom!" "Turn that off!" "[♪♪♪]" "Wow, Sandy, I know a basketball team that could really use a guy your size." "Can you dribble or do you just drool?" "Mostly, I slam-dunk." "[GRUNTING]" "[WHIRRING]" "[GRUNTING]" "That love tap's just the beginning, Web Head." "Oh, great, how am I supposed to beat up a beach?" "HAMMERHEAD:" "Yeah, I can see." "Call it off." "Marko." "Once a mook, always a mook." "Get me out of here." "[CAR STARTS]" "[♪♪♪]" "[LAUGHS]" "Is that all you got?" "SPIDER-MAN:" "Hey, worked on Goliath." "Don't suppose you'd consider picking on someone your own size?" "SANDMAN:" "Nope." "Been wanting to bug-squash you since the day we met." "[OIL BUBBLING]" "Okay, how tough can this be?" "All Jack needed was a beanstalk and an ax." "[♪♪♪]" "SPIDER-MAN:" "No." "Venom!" "He's got the Symbiote" "Sandy, behind you." "Oh, yeah, like I'd fall for that." "Abandon ship!" "I'm trying!" "[GRUNTING]" "The tanker..." "[SCREAMS]" "Fire." "On an oil tanker." "Man, this just keeps getting better." "Get back!" "Gotta get you off this tub." "It's too late." "She's gonna blow before she sinks." "[BOTH SCREAM]" "Sandman, stop!" "You" "Saved them?" "SANDMAN:" "I was just in it for the bucks." "I-I-I never meant for this to happen." "Wait, Sandy, let go!" "Whoa!" "[ALL SCREAMING]" "The heat from the explosion." "It must have glazed him." "You wanted a big score, Marko?" "As far as I'm concerned, you just scored about as big as a man can." "SPIDER-MAN:" "I gotta be sure." "This is where I buried the Symbiote." "Under a ton of cement." "And it's undisturbed." "So I didn't see Venom." "Maybe Eddie's back, maybe it's all in my head." "Either way, without the Symbiote," "Venom's gone for good." "Now, my biggest problem will be explaining where I went to Liz." "Knew if I made you paranoid enough, you'd lead me right to the one I love." "Thanks, bro." "[GRUNTS]" "Hey, Flash, hope you don't mind me crashing your party." "[SLURPS]" "Truth is, I plan on crashing a lot of parties this year." "So if you run into my bro Pete, tell him we will see him soon." "[♪♪♪]"
