the powerpuff girls meet Spider-Man

Chapter 3

The next day, it was graduation day at Peter's high school.
Photographer: Say 'chess.'
Students: Chess!
They got their picture taken.
May: Peter! Darling, I'm so proud of you. You looked so handsome up there.
Buttercup: Yeah, real handsome.
The Chipmunks: Oh, boy.
Harry: Pete. Good news. My father got the place in New York so we're all set this Friday.
Peter: Oh, that's great!
Norman: You made it. It's not the first time I've been proven wrong. Congratulations. (shakes Harry's hand)
Harry: Thanks, Dad.
Norman: Peter, the science award. That's terrific.
Peter: Yeah.
Norman: So, who are your new friends?
Peter: They're the Loud kids, Gizmo, and Team Powerpuff. They had many adventures before they met me.
Lincoln: We met him on a field trip.
Norman: To the lab where they have genetically-enhanced spiders and that you blind-folded and ear-plugged one of your sisters to prevent any chaos?
Leni: Wait... this whole time, I WAS IN A SPIDER LAB?!?!
Lana: Uh oh.
Leni: WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME WE WERE LOOKING AT SPIDERS?! YOU KNOW I HATE THOSE!!!
Lola: And I thought I was a tattletale.
Norman: (to Peter) I know this has been a difficult time for you, but I want you to try to enjoy this day. Commencement: The end of one thing, the start of something new.
Harry saw Mary Jane breaking up with Flash.
Mary Jane: I don't want to be with you anymore. Here's your ring. (hands Flash the ring back)
Flash: You know what? Whatever. Your loss. (leaves)
Norman: You're like a brother to Harry. That makes you family. And if you ever need anything, just give me a call.
Peter and the gang went back home.
May: Can I fix you something?
Peter: No thanks. (goes upstairs)
That night, May went to see him. He had tears in his eyes since Uncle Ben had died.
Peter: I missed him a lot today.
May: I know. I miss him, too. But he was there.
Peter: I can't help thinking about the last thing I said to him. He tried to tell me something important, and I threw it in his face.
May: You loved him, and he loved you. He never doubted the man you'd grow into. How you were meant for great things. You won't disappoint him.
May left his room. Peter went into thinking about his Spider-Man costume.
Ben: (voiceover) With great power comes great responsibility. Remember that, Pete. Remember that.
Leni: And I thought it was With great power comes great irresponsibility?
Lincoln: Actually, I think this is the beginning of Peter's superhero life.
Indeed it was, for he became Spider-Man cleaning the streets of New York of crime and evil. At a convenience store, there was a robbery.
Thief: Hurry up!
The cashiers gave the money to the crooks, who ran off, but were stopped by a man in a red and blue costume. That same man gave the cashiers their money back. A newspaper read 'Masked Man Foils Robbery.'
Lui: This is not a man. My brother saw him building a nest in the Lincoln Center fountain.
Woman: They think he's human. They think he's a man. Could be a woman.
At night, there was a robbery at the diamond store, but by the time the cops arrived...
Cop: Bobby. Get a load of this!
The police saw the thieves tangled up in a web.
Construction Worker: He throws up his hands, ropes come out, and he climbs up the ropes like a spider web.
Woman 2: (voiceover) I see the web and it's a signature, and I know Spiderman was here.
Nogla: (voiceover) The guy protects us, you know protects the people.
Cop: Some kind of freakyloo or something. Wakadoo.
SMG4: He stinks and I don't like him.
There was a man trying to grab a woman's purse.
Robber: Don't move, lady!
His gun was taken by a web and he was taken out by a man. The lady found a note in her purse and it read 'Courtesy, your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.'
Punk Lady: Guy with eight hands. Sounds hot.
Woman 3: Those tights and that tight little...
Guitar Guy: (singing) Dresses like a spider, he looks like a bug, but we should all just give him One big hug. Look out! Here comes the Spiderman!
Yep, the citizens of New York seemed to like the new hero, Spider-Man. Everyone loved him... except for one man. At the Daily Bugle building...
Man: (reads newspaper) "Who is Spider-Man?" (stops reading) He's a criminal, that's who he is.
That man was J. Jonah Jameson, the man who runs the Daily Bugle.
J. Jonah Jameson: A vigilante, a public menace. Why's he on my front page?
Betty Brant: Mr. Jameson, your wife is on line one. She needs to know if...
Hoffman: Mr. Jameson, there's a page six problem.
J. Jonah Jameson: We have a page one problem, shut up. (to Robby) Well?
Robbie: He's news.
Hoffman: These are really important clients, they can't wait.
J. Jonah Jameson: They're about to.
Robbie: He pulled six people off that subway car.
J. Jonah Jameson: Sure from a wreck he probably caused. Something goes wrong and this creepy-crawler is there. Look at that, he's fleeing the scene. What's that tell you?
Robbie: He's not fleeing, he's probably going to save somebody else. He's a hero!
J. Jonah Jameson: Then why's he wear a mask, hmm? What's he got to hide?
Betty Brant: She needs to know if you want chintz or chenille in the dining room.
J. Jonah Jameson: Whichever's cheaper.
Hoffman: Mr. Jameson, it's like this: We double-booked page six. See so both Macy's and Conway's have three-quarters of the same page...
Robbie: We sold out four printings.
J. Jonah Jameson: Sold out?
Robbie: Every copy.
J. Jonah Jameson: Tomorrow morning. Spiderman. Page one with a decent picture this time. Move Conway to page seven.
Hoffman: That's a problem.
J. Jonah Jameson: Make it page eight and give 'em 10 percent off. No, make it 5 percent.
Hoffman: That can't be done.
J. Jonah Jameson: Get out of here!
Robbie: Problem is we don't have a decent picture. Eddie's been on it for weeks, we can barely get a glimpse of him.
J. Jonah Jameson: Aw, what is he, shy? We can get a picture of Julia Roberts in a thong, we can certainly get a picture of this weirdo. Put an ad on the front page. "Cash money for a picture of Spiderman" He doesn't want to be famous? I'll make him infamous!
Meanwhile, Mary Jane left her job at a local diner.
Peter: Hey.
Mary Jane: (not noticing) Buzz off.
Peter: M.J., it's me, Peter.
Mary Jane: Hi! What are you doing around here?
Peter: I'm begging for a job. How about you?
Mary Jane: I'm headed to an audition.
Peter: An audition? So you're acting now?
Mary Jane: Yeah. I work steady. In fact, I just got off a job.
Peter: That's great, MJ. You're doing it. Living your dream.
Boss: Hey, glamour girl! Your drawer was short six dollars! Next time that happens, I'm gonna take it outta your cheque! Excuse me, Miss Watson? I'm talking to you! Hey!
Mary Jane: Yes, Enrique! Okay? I get you.
Enrique: It better not happen no more, hear me? Don't roll your eyes at me. (leaves)
Mary Jane: Some dream, huh?
Peter: It's nothing to be embarrassed about.
Mary Jane: Don't tell Harry.
Peter: Don't tell Harry?
Mary Jane: Don't you guys live together? We're going out. Didn't he tell you?
Peter: Oh, yeah. Right.
Mary Jane: I think he'd hate the idea of my waiting tables. He'd think it was low or something.
Peter: It's not low. You have a job. You know, Harry doesn't live on a little place I like to call Earth.
Mary Jane: No, I guess not. Thanks, Pete. We should catch up sometime.
Peter: Let's get some lunch some evening. I'll come by and have some of your Moondance coffee some day. And I won't tell Harry.
Mary Jane: No, don't tell Harry.
Peter: I won't. I won't tell Harry.
Peter and the gang went off to meet Norman and Harry.
Norman: Timing's perfect. Hey. (on the phone) Five new contracts. It'll be great. (chuckles)
Harry: Stormin' Norman's making his weekly inspection. Spent half of it on the phone. Look, man, I'm glad you're here. I need your help. I'm really lost here. Are you alright? You look like you just got second place in the science fair.
Peter: I was late for work and Dr. Connors fired me.
Harry: You were late again? I don't get it. Where do you go all the time?
Peter: Around.
Norman: Peter Parker and company. Maybe you'll tell me who she is.
Simon: Who's she?
Norman: This mystery girl Harry's been dating.
Harry: Dad.
Norman: When do I get to meet her?
Harry: Dad!
Lincoln: Sorry. Harry hasn't mentioned her.
Harry: Pete, you're probably looking for a job now, right? (to Norman) Dad, maybe you can help him out.
Peter: I appreciate it, but I'll be fine.
Norman: It's no problem. I'll make a few calls.
Peter: I couldn't accept it. I'd like to earn what I get. I can find my own work.
Norman: I respect that. You want to make it on your own steam. That's great. What other skills do you have, Parker?
Peter: I was thinking of something in photography.
The boy was looking at the Daily Bugle's latest issue. It read "Reward! For Photos of Spider-Man." One night, as some robbers were stealing from a bank truck, Spider-Man came and took them down.
Spider-Man: Cheese!
The camera, which he put on his web, took pictures of him defeating the bad guys. All of the pictures were then taken to J. Jonah Jameson on Peter's first day at the Daily Bugle.
J. Jonah Jameson: They're crap. Crap, crap. Mega crap. I'll give you $200.
Peter: That seems a little low.
J. Jonah Jameson: Take them somewhere else then.
Betty Brant: Sir, your wife said that tile you want in the foyer is out of stock.
J. Jonah Jameson: Sit down. Give me that. I'll give you 300. That's a standard freelance fee. Tear up page one. Run that photo instead.
Robbie: Headline?
J. Jonah Jameson: "Spiderman, Hero or Menace? Exclusive Daily Bugle Photos."
Peter: Menace? He was protecting that..
J. Jonah Jameson: Tell you what, Atticus, you take the pictures, I'll make up the headlines, ok? all right? That ok with you?
Peter: Yes, sir.
J. Jonah Jameson: Goody. (hands him a paper) Give this to the girl up front. She'll see you get paid.
Peter: I'd like a job, sir.
J. Jonah Jameson: No jobs. Freelance. Best thing in the world for a kid your age. Bring me some more shots of that newspaper selling clown, maybe I'll take 'em off your hands. But I never said you have a job. Meat. I'll send you a box of Christmas meat. Best I can do. Get outta here. Bring me more photos.
Peter went to Betty Brant.
Peter: Hi.
Betty Brant: Hi.
Peter: Mr. Jameson told me to give that to you. (hands her the paper)
Betty Brant: Welcome to the Daily Bugle.
Peter: Thank you. I'm Peter Parker. I'm a photographer.
Betty Brant: Yes, I can see that.
At OSCORP, there was a meeting.
Norman: As of today, OSCORP Industries has surpassed Quest Aerospace as the principal supplier to the United States military. In short, ladies and gentlemen of the board, costs are down, revenues are up, and our stock has never been higher.
Mr. Balkan: Wonderful news, Norman. Wonderful. In fact, it's the reason for selling the company.
Norman: What?
Mr. Balkan: Yes, Quest Aerospace is recapitalizing in the wake of the bombing. Expanding. They made a tender offer we can't ignore.
Norman: Why wasn't I told?
Mr. Balkan: The last thing they want is a power struggle with entrenched management. The deal is off if you come with it. The board expects your resignation in 30 days.
Norman: You can't do this to me. I started this company. You know how much I sacrificed?! Oh, Max. Please.
Businessman: Norman, the board is unanimous. We're announcing the sale after the World Unity Festival. I'm sorry.
Mr. Balkan: You're out, Norman.
Norman: Am I?
He had a dark look in his eyes. He wanted to get back at the man who had him fired from his own company. Revenge and insanity fueled the businessman. At the OSCORP Unity Festival...
P.A.: Welcome to OSCORP Industries Unity Day Festival. Let's hear it for Macy Gray.
Peter and the gang were in the parade, taking pictures. Everyone was there, including Harry Osborn and Mary Jane.
Harry: M.J., why didn't you wear the black dress? Just, I wanted to impress my father. He loves black.
Mary Jane: Well, maybe he'll be impressed no matter what. You think I'm pretty?
Harry: I think you're beautiful. M.J., would you do me a favour? I forgot my drink inside.
Peter's spider sense began to tingle.
Lincoln: What is it, Peter?
Peter: Something's up.
Harry talked to Mr. Fargas.
Harry: Oh, hi, Mr. Fargas.
Mr. Fargas: Oh, Harry.
Harry: Have you seen my father around?
Mr. Fargas: Well, I'm not sure if he's coming today.
Peter's spider sense tingled again. In the sky, there was something flying on a glider.
Mr. Balkan: What is that?
Mr. Fargas: Must be new this year.
Mr. Balkan: (looks through binoculars) That's our glider!
Harry: What the hell was that?
It was a green man on a flying glider. He threw a bomb at the building Harry and Mary Jane were on, sending pieces of the building down. One man, who looked suspiciously familiar to a certain someone, saved a little girl from getting hit by debris. Peter saw one about to fall down on some people, but he web-slinged the two out of the way. Parts of the balcony were falling apart, with Mary Jane near the ledge.
Mary Jane: Oh, my God! Harry!
Harry: M.J.!
Mary Jane: Harry! Help me! Harry!
Blossom: That green man is destroying the parade!
Leni: We have to, like, stop him!
Our heroes got into gear, as the green man threw a pumpkin-shaped bomb at the businessmen.
Green Goblin: Out, am I?
The bomb exploded, reducing the men to dust and bones.
Harry: Mary Jane!
He was knocked unconscious by a big rock.
Mary Jane: Harry!
A ship landed near the girl. On it were Mojo Jojo and Dr. Eggman.
Dr. Eggman: A pleasure to meet you at last, Mary Jane. I am Dr. Eggman. Mojo and I've come here to destroy our enemies, the Powerpuff Girls Z and their new friend, the Spider-Man.
Mojo Jojo: And we're not alone.
The Green Goblin flew near the girl.
Green Goblin: Hello, my dear.
Mary Jane screamed in horror. Just then, someone came to the rescue.
Civilian: It's Spider-Man and the Powerpuff Girls Z!
The heroes knocked the Goblin out of his glider, sending him down to the ground. The glider, still in the air, flew through a float.
Spider-Man: (to a kid standing) Come on. Move, kid.
Mom: Billy! Somebody help him!
The web slinger swung in and rescued the kid, giving him back to his mother.
Billy: Mommy!
Some cops found the Green Goblin.
Cop: Hold it right there!
Cop 2: Freeze, dirtbag!
Green Goblin: (with his hands in the air) I surrender.
Spider-Man: Oh, boy.
Cop: Hold it right there!
The evil villain punched some cops. Suddenly, a blue blur zoomed past him. It was a blue hedgehog with red sneakers and white gloves. The Powerpuff Girls Z's ally, Sonic the Hedgehog, has arrived.
Sonic: My... That's a pretty snazzy performance there.
Spider-Man and the others got with the hedgehog, now joined by his friend, Tails.
Luna: Whoa, is that..?
Bubbles: Yep, it's Sonic.
Mojo Jojo: Not that slimy hedgehog again!
Dr. Eggman: Attack!
Robots showed up to take down our heroes. Sonic and the Girls attacks the robots, dispatching them all. Spider-Man attempted to punch the Goblin, but the villain grabbed his hand.
Green Goblin: Impressive. (throws him down)
He got back on his glider and tries to shoot down the wall-crawler. The superhero avoided the bullets and heard Mary Jane's scream.
Spider-Man: Mary Jane!
Mary Jane: Help! Someone please help me!
Spidey jumped from float to float, but was pinned down by the Green Goblin. The villain knocked him out of the glider.
Spider-Man: Hold on!
Mary Jane: Watch out!
The Green Goblin was about to attack, but Spider-Man shot a web at his face, blinding him. He then pulled the circuitry out of his glider, making it go haywire.
Green Goblin: We'll meet again, Spiderman!
Dr. Eggman: Was that our Goblin pal?
Mojo Jojo: I think so.
Leonardo: Alright, guys, prepare to dish out the mighty wrath of justice!
Donatello: Seriously, just yell 'get him.'
Dr. Eggman: We see no reason to fight. In any case, we're busy. Farewell! (he and Mojo fly off)
The ledge crumbled and Mary Jane fell in the air.
Spider-Man: Mary Jane!
He dived after her and swung to her rescue. Everyone cheered for the heroes prevailing over the villains. Spider-Man swung with Mary Jane in his arms and our heroes following him. They dropped her off at a garden.
Spider-Man: Well, beats taking the subway. (to a couple) Don't mind us. She just needs to use the elevator.
Mary Jane: Wait. Who are you?
Spider-Man: You know who I am.
Mary Jane: I do?
Spider-Man: Your friendly neighborhood Spiderman.
He and the gang left the garden.
