Spider-Man: The New Animated Series

So, except for our government research project,

there's a shortfall for this quarter.

Starting today, expense-account lunches

are limited to one entrée

and a single alcoholic beverage.

Oh...

Johnson...

Good God, man. If you've got something to say, just say it!

What is that?

Everyone quiet! Heads down!

Allow me to introduce ourselves.

We are Pterodax, a name given us affectionately

with a nod to our winged dinosaur friends.

We fly, we've got tough hides,

and we will snap your heads off

if you make any trouble.

How come I'm missing all the good stuff?

Right there.

Oh, my God. Get a room!

Peter, stand still.

Is this legal?

Depends on how far they go.

Oh... oh. Would you look at the time?

I better get to class.

You don't have another class today.

Then I'll find one.

Trying to be more like you, Pete.

Hey, the binocs!

Keep them. There's plenty more where those came from.

I think Harry thinks maybe we have things to talk about.

I, uh...

uh... uh...

These binocs are pretty, uh... fly.

Peter, I worry about you.

Right. Well... I know you'd like me to say more,

but the thing is,

sometimes words just aren't enough.

Really? Really.

Well... what would you say if you did have the words?

Okay, let's see.

I'd say... holy crap!

Uh... I gotta go.

Where?

Chem lab. You know... It moved across campus.

Gotta run.

The safe is only for sample items

to display at board meetings.

Samples, indeed.

This safe contains your company's prototype hyper-diamonds.

The kind that will power your government's new x-ray lasers.

When I auction these off to my many clients around the globe,

the U.S. missile defense shield will have to be retooled,

and I will be... quite wealthy.

Okay, first thing I'd spend it on...

better outfits.

That matching boy-band look is so yesterday.

Whoa.

Good call.

I really love what you've done with the room.

It'll look even better without you.

Help!

You like being a hero?

Go for it.

Aah!

Aah!

She was supposed to open the safe!

We still have time to laser it.

Not before Spider-Man and the whole New York SWAT team arrive,

you idiot!

This isn't over.

Amazing!

Actually, I just happened to be in the next building over.

It was more luck, really.

The whole conference table goes out the window and doesn't hit anyone!

What are the chances?

Like you said... amazing.

Damn straight.

Do you have any that show Spider-Man cracking the safe?

No, Spider-Man... he didn't crack the safe.

Those robbers were going to.

He chased them away.

Spider-Man hires robbers to crack safe,

then chases them away.

That makes these photos worth $40.

Great. Times six is 240.

In Bolivian pesetas, maybe.

In Los Est-ay-dos U-nee-dos, it's still 40 bucks for all six.

Take it or leave it.

Come on, come on. I'm a busy man.

As you can see from this video,

Empire One's man-in-the-street cam showing a traffic snarl

at Columbus Circle.

And, in other news...

Hmm.

Fifty. And you have exclusive rights

to all still photos I took of that crime scene.

You're tough, kid. 41.20, and not a penny higher.

Well... go! Shoo! If you're gonna send me to the poorhouse,

at least don't gloat about it!

This is professional-quality video.

Very slick.

Then you'll buy it?

No way. Our man-in-the-street cam is strictly amateur hour.

That's the charm of it.

Could you bring that over here?

No, I need it now.

Put the orbs back in.

You never saw anyone rehearse for the camera?

You don't have a camera.

Well... I will have.

I'm the new lifestyle reporter. Perhaps you've seen me.

Um... actually...

Indy!

I need that midtown-shooting tape, stat.

My latte can wait.

Wow, it must be urgent.

Uh... I'm just...

checking your ratings!

Okay... I'm only a researcher. For now.

Um... I did do a piece on bosses

who make their flunkies' lives a living hell,

but it didn't air.

I bet it was good.

Indy...

I don't suppose that's the midtown-shooting tape.

Even better. You should get a look at this.

Hi. I'm Peter Parker.

Indira Daimonji. Everyone just calls me Indy.

Indy... where are you?

You are watching exclusive Empire One video

of yesterday's daring 30th-floor robbery attempt.

Dude, let me get this straight.

You charmed Indy the researcher,

and she got her producer to buy your video clips?

Well... she thinks I saved her life.

Well, how'd you do that, hypnosis?

A fluke. Anyway, I thought I should thank her.

Custom CD!

You woo-master, you!

Just, you know, a little thank-you.

A card says thank you.

Cappuccino for two... thank you.

But a custom CD...

Too much?

Weapon of mass destruction.

What would M.J. say?

Hopefully, how proud she is of my growing photography career.

Oh, yeah. That could happen.

Peter... I feel like a skater

gliding toward you,

free and alive and excited.

But then you keep veering to the side,

and I always end up headed right for a big freaking crack in the ice!

Hi there.

You might not have noticed, but I'm a little confused...

about us.

Peter... the word I'm looking for is consistency.

I think you know how much you mean to me.

Well, you better know, seeing as how...

Hmm... let's see...

Oh, yeah... I told you!

M.J.!

Peter! Uh... hi.

Peter...

The word I'm looking for...

What's that?

CD.

CD with ribbon.

A...gift.

Really? For me?

Well, who is it for?

A researcher at Empire One TV.

This researcher just kind of...

helped me sell some news video.

Oh. That's nice. What's his name?

It's... a she.

It? She sounds lovely.

Well, look, the thing is...

Do you wanna go to a movie with me tonight?

You know, I was going to suggest the same thing,

because, because, that would be terrific.
