Peter Parker: I don't know what to do...
Aunt May: I'm sure you'll find it within yourself to do the right thing.

Peter Parker: I don't need your help.
Mary Jane Watson: Everybody needs help. Even Spider-Man.

Harry Osborn: You knew this was coming Pete!
[punches wall,looks around]
Peter Parker: I didn't kill your father!
[dodges punch]
Peter Parker: He was trying to kill me! He killed himself!
Harry Osborn: [pulling down wall] Shut up!

This man killed my uncle, and he's still out there!

Peter Parker: Remember Ben Parker?
Flint Marko: What does it matter to you anyway?
Peter Parker: Everything!

Mary Jane Watson: What's happened to you?
Peter Parker: I don't know... But I have to stop it.

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.

Peter Parker: [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...

Rosalie Octavius: You need to sleep soundly tonight.
Dr. Otto Octavius: Did Edison sleep before he turned on the light bulb? Did Marconi sleep before he turned on the radio? Did Beethoven sleep before he wrote the fifth?
Peter Parker: Did Bernoulli sleep before he found the curves of quickest descent?
Dr. Otto Octavius: Ahhh, Rosie, I love this boy.

Doc Ock: [grabs Spider-Man in the bank] You're getting on my nerves.
Spider-Man: I have a knack for that.
Doc Ock: Not anymore.

Mary Jane Watson: [in Aunt May's backyard] I liked seeing you tonight, Peter.
Peter Parker: Oh boy, yeah...
Mary Jane Watson: Oh boy, yeah, what?
Peter Parker: Nothing.
Mary Jane Watson: You want to say something?
Peter Parker: I... was... wondering if you're still in the village...
Mary Jane Watson: You're such a mystery. Peter...
Peter Parker: What?
Mary Jane Watson: Happy Birthday!

[narrating] She looks at me everyday. Mary Jane Watson. Oh boy! If she only knew how I felt about her. But she can never know. I made a choice once to live a life of responsibility. A life she can never be a part of. Who am I? I'm Spider-Man, given a job to do. And I'm Peter Parker, and I too have a job.
