Spider-Man 2 Quotes

  • Dr. Otto Octavius: Peter Parker! And the girlfriend!

    Peter Parker: What do you want?

    Dr. Otto Octavius: [grabs Peter with a tentacle] I want you to find your friend Spider-Man. Tell him to meet me at the Westside Tower at 3 o'clock.

    Peter Parker: But I don't know where he is.

    Dr. Otto Octavius: [takes his sunglasses off with a tentacle] Find him. Or I'll peel the flesh off her bones...

    [Tentacle snaps at Peter]

    Peter Parker: [angrily] If you lay... one finger on her...

    Dr. Otto Octavius: You'll do what?

  • Henry Jackson: Hi, Peter!

    Peter Parker: Hey, Henry! You've grown tall.

    May Parker: You'll never guess who he wants to be... Spider-Man!

    Peter Parker: Why?

    May Parker: He knows a hero when he sees one. Too few characters out there, flying around like that, saving old girls like me. And Lord knows, kids like Henry need a hero. Courageous, self-sacrificing people. Setting examples for all of us. Everybody loves a hero. People line up for them, cheer them, scream their names. And years later, they'll tell how they stood in the rain for hours just to get a glimpse of the one who taught them how to hold on a second longer. I believe there's a hero in all of us, that keeps us honest, gives us strength, makes us noble, and finally allows us to die with pride, even though sometimes we have to be steady, and give up the thing we want the most. Even our dreams.

    Peter Parker: [sigh] You don't know how it feels.

    Ben Parker: Peter, all the times we've talked of honesty, fairness, justice, out of those times I counted on you to have the courage to take those dreams out into the world.

    Mary Jane Watson: I know you think we can't be together, but can't you respect me enough to let me make my own decision? I know there'll be risks but I want to face them with you.

    May Parker: You made a brave move in telling me the truth, and I'm proud of you, and I thank you, and I... I love you, Peter. So very, very much...

    [hugs him]

  • Dr. Otto Octavius: [to Spider-man] I should've known Osborn wouldn't have the spine to finish you!

  • Peter Parker: [consoling his Aunt who blamed herself for Uncle Ben's death] Aunt May, you don't have to punish yourself...

    May Parker: Oh, I know I shouldn't. It's just that you wanted to take the subway, and he wanted to drive you. If only I had stopped him, we'd all three of us be having tea together.

  • Boy with Mask: We've found something...

    [hands Spider-Man his mask]

    Boy with Mask: We won't tell nobody. It's good to have you back, Spider-Man.

  • Spider-Man: [referring to Doc Ock] We sure showed him!

    May Parker: What do you mean 'we'?

  • J. Jonah Jameson: [speaking to his wife over the phone] Dear, we agreed to put on a wedding, not go into bankruptcy... Caviar? Who are we inviting, the czar? Get some cheese and crackers... some of those little cocktail weenies...

  • J. Jonah Jameson: [discussing his son's wedding with his wife over the phone] Flowers? How much? If you spend any more on this thing, you can pick the daisies off my grave! Get plastic!

  • Snooty Usher: No one will be seated after the doors are closed. It helps maintain the illusion.

  • Snooty Usher: [points to Peter's shoes] Shoelaces.

    [Peter kneels and ties his shoes]

    Snooty Usher: Uh, you might want to...

    [acts like he's straightening a tie]

    Snooty Usher: [Peter straightens his tie]

    Snooty Usher: That's better. Can I help you?

  • [brainstorming a catchy 'super-villain' nickname for Dr. Otto Octavius]

    J. Jonah Jameson: What are we gonna call this guy?

    Hoffman: 'Doctor Octopus'?

    J. Jonah Jameson: That's crap.

    Hoffman: 'Science Squid'?

    J. Jonah Jameson: Crap.

    Hoffman: 'Doctor Strange'.

    J. Jonah Jameson: That's pretty good.

    [Hoffman looks proud]

    J. Jonah Jameson: But it's taken! Wait, wait! I got it! 'Doctor Octopus'.

    Hoffman: But... uh...

    [gives up]

    Hoffman: I like it.

    J. Jonah Jameson: Of course you do. 'Doctor Octopus'. New villain in town: 'Doc Ock'.

    Hoffman: Genius.

    J. Jonah Jameson: What, are you looking for a raise? Get out!

  • [Mary Jane has decided not to invite Peter to her wedding]

    John Jameson: Thought he was your pal.

    Mary Jane Watson: Peter Parker?

    John Jameson: Yeah.

    Mary Jane Watson: Uh, he's just a great big jerk.

    John Jameson: Well, the world's full of great big jerks.

  • Peter Parker: These things have turned you into something you're not.

    [shouts]

    Peter Parker: Don't listen to them!

    Dr. Otto Octavius: It was my dream.

    Peter Parker: Sometimes, to do what's right, we have to be steady and give up the thing we want the most. Even our dreams.

    Dr. Otto Octavius: You're right.

    [the tentacles hiss and snap]

    Dr. Otto Octavius: He's right.

  • [as he drops aunt May]

    Dr. Otto Octavius: Butterfingers!

  • Harry Osborn: Nobel Prize, Otto! We'll see you in Sweden!

    Dr. Otto Octavius: [to Peter] Interesting person, your friend.

  • Spider-Man: [to Aunt May, who's hanging several hundred feet up the side of a building] Hang on!

  • Peter Parker: [sees Harry drinking] Hey, you might wanna take it easy there, buddy.

    Harry Osborn: What, it's a party... wouldn't you be drinking if you lost a bundle on some crackpot who you thought was gonna take him with you to fame and fortune? Not to mention your friend the bug.

    Peter Parker: Not tonight Harry.

    Harry Osborn: Every night! Until I find him it's 24/7.

  • [the Doctor brings Harry a gift]

    Doc Ock: [holding up a bound Spider-Man] Where do you want him?

  • Elevator Passenger: I'm with Weisenhower, Anderson, Nichols & Knudsen PR firm in the building and I just wanna say I think the image you have is fantastic. It's really put together. The costume. The... this thing. I mean, it's really put together. It's great. I think you can do more than print though. I think you might wanna try some TV, you know? Can I riff for you? Can I come up with a couple ideas for you? Just what my company would do. Let's see what I got. How 'bout, um, uh, a children's book? You could, uh, have like Charlotte's Web but without the pig. You know, that kind of thing. How 'bout, um, uh, a line of hammocks? 'Cause it's kind of a web thing. Um, you could do, um, a men's cologne called "Thwip." Let me give you a card.

    Spider-Man: I don't have any pockets.

  • J. Jonah Jameson: I drove Spider-Man away. My god, he was a hero. Spider-Man truly was an asset to this city. He was...

    J. Jonah Jameson: [a whooshing sound is heard and Jameson turns around - realizing that the Spider-Man costume is gone] ... a criminal! That's who he is! A burglar! He stole my suit! I want Spider-Man!

    [sees an open window]

    J. Jonah Jameson: I WANT SPIDER-MAN!

  • Peter Parker: Dr. Connors. Sorry.

    Dr. Curt Connors: Where were you headed, Parker?

    Peter Parker: To your class.

    Dr. Curt Connors: My class is over. See me standing here?

    Peter Parker: I'm sorry. I'm trying. I wanna be here.

    Dr. Curt Connors: Then be here. Look at you, Peter. Your grades have been steadily declining. You're late for class. You always appear exhausted. Your paper on fusion is still overdue.

    Peter Parker: I know. I'm planning to write it on Dr. Otto Octavius.

    Dr. Curt Connors: Planning is not a major at this university. Octavius is a friend of mine. Better do your research, Parker. Get it done, or I'm failing you.

  • Black Passenger: [Black man after Spiderman/Peter Parker regains consciousness] It's all right.

    Amazed Kid: We found something.

    Boy with Mask: [Hands Spider man mask back to Peter] We won't tell nobody.

    [Peter puts Spiderman mask back on]

    Boy with Mask: It's good to have you back Spiderman.

    Doc Ock: [Breaks into carriage] He's mine!

    Train Passenger: [Steps into Dr Octopus's path] You want to get to him, you gotta go through me.

    Train Passenger: [Steps into path] And me.

    Train Passenger: [Steps into path] Me too.

    [Other passengers step in front of Dr Octopus to stop him from getting to Spiderman]

    Doc Ock: Very well

    [Robotic arms break through crowds to get to Spiderman]

  • Mr. Aziz: Goooooooooo!

  • [Peter has just stopped a train from going over the edge, but he's severely weakened from the effort. Just as he passes out and is about to fall, the passengers catch him and carry him into the train. They pass him along until they reach a specific spot]

    Train Passenger: Nice and easy. Put him down.

    [they lower Peter to the floor]

    Train Passenger: Slower. Gently.

    Train Passenger: Is he alive?

    [the passengers look down at Peter with worry]

    Train Passenger: He's... just a kid. No older than my son.

    [Peter opens his eyes and quickly realizes he doesn't have his mask on. He sits up and one of the passengers kneels down to him]

    Train Passenger: It's alright.

    [two boys walk up to Peter]

    Boy with Mask: We found something.

    [he holds Peter's mask out, which Peter takes. He stares at it for a moment, then looks up at the passengers]

    Boy with Mask: We won't tell nobody.

    [Peter stares at him for a moment, then smiles warmly. He puts his mask back on]

    Boy with Mask: It's good to have you back, Spider-Man.
