[speaks to MJ through a dead phone line] I wanna tell you the truth... here it is: I'm Spider-Man. Weird, huh? Now you know why I can't be with you. If my enemies found out about you... if you got hurt, I could never forgive myself. I wish I could tell you how I feel about you.
[to himself, regarding his life] Am I not supposed to have what I want?
[to himself] She can never know how much I love her.
[end of PS2 game, closing narration] Mary Jane, the girl next door, the girl I love, and now, the girl waiting for me at the end of the day. Fate handed me amazing powers, and with those powers came a burden of responsibility. Somehow though, having her with me makes that burden lighter. Still, in the end, it's mine to bear. After all, there's still only one... Spider-Man!
[pleading with MJ to give him a chance] I let things get in the way before, there was something I thought I had to do.. I don't have to!
[talking to Doc Ock] Sometimes, to do what's right, we have to be steady, and give up the things we want the most. Even our dreams.
[Doc Ock throws a heavy bag full of coins at him, Spider-Man catches it by his webbing] Here's your Change! [tosses it back on Ock].
[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.
[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!
Guy named Otto Octavius winds up with eight limbs. What are the odds?
