The Spider-Man Chronicles (Part 1)

Chapter 20

28 ~~ INT. THE DAILY BUGLE-EVENING~~ 28

Y/n and Peter are sitting in the office of J. Jonah Jameson again.

Jameson has a cigar in his right hand and a newspaper in his left hand about the attack at the festival.

J. JONAH JAMESON
Spider-Man, Lizard-Girl, and the Green Goblin. Green Goblin. You like that?

Jameson sets the newspaper down on his desk.

PETER
Mr. Jameson-

J. JONAH JAMESON
Made it up myself. These weirdos all gotta have a name now.

Jameson puts his cigar in his left hand and picks up the receiver of his phone.

PETER
Mr. Jameson. Spider-Man-

J. JONAH JAMESON
Hoffman!

HOFFMAN
Yeah?

Hoffman walks into Jameson's office.

Jameson looks at Hoffman then at the phone.

He sets the phone receiver down and continues talking.

J. JONAH JAMESON
Call the patent office. Copyright the name "Green Goblin". I want a quarter every time somebody says it.

Jameson then puts his cigar in his mouth.

HOFFMAN
How about "Green Meanie"?

Jameson takes the cigar out of his mouth and points at Hoffman for him to leave.

PETER
Spider-Man and Lizard-Girl weren't attacking the city, they were trying to save it. That's slander.

Y/N
Yeah!

Peter looks at her and she shakes her head in encouragement.

Peter then looks at Jameson again.

J. JONAH JAMESON
It is not. I resent that. Slander is spoken. In print, it's libel.

Y/n rolls her eyes and scoffs.

PETER
You don't trust anybody. That's your problem.

Y/n shakes her head in agreement.

J. JONAH JAMESON
I trust my barber. What are you, their lawyers? Get outta here! Both of you!

Jameson throws his cigar out the window as Peter and y/n both stand up and begin leaving the room.

J. JONAH JAMESON
Let them sue me, get rich like a normal person. That's what made this country-

Jameson stops talking when his cigar lands on his desk.

He stares at it as the window behind him shatters.

Peter and y/n both cover their faces with their arms from the doorway of Jameson's office.

They both look at each other and nod.

They then run away to change into their superhero identities.

Meanwhile, the Green Goblin has come through the window on his glider and has grabbed Jameson by the throat.

GREEN GOBLIN
Jameson, you slime!

He holds Jameson off the ground.

GREEN GOBLIN
Who's the photographer who takes the pictures of Spider-Man and Lizard-Girl?

J. JONAH JAMESON
I don't know who he is. His stuff comes in the mail.

GREEN GOBLIN
You're lying!

J. JONAH JAMESON
I swear.

GREEN GOBLIN
He's the one who can bring me to them.

J. JONAH JAMESON
I don't know who he is.

GREEN GOBLIN
Yo are useless, you-

The Green Goblin goes to punch Jameson as Lizard-Girl lands in the room through the shattered window, and Spider-Man hangs down from a web, upside down, outside of the shattered window.

PETER
Set him down, tough guy.

Y/N
Yeah, or you're gonna be in a world of pain.

The Green Goblin throws Jameson to the side and turns around on his glider to face Spider-Man and Lizard-Girl.

GREEN GOBLIN
Speak of the devil!

J. JONAH JAMESON
Spider-Man and Lizard-Girl! I knew you were all in this together!

Y/n gives an annoyed look while Peter shoots a web at Jameson's mouth to get him to stop talking.

PETER
Hey kiddo, let the parents talk for a minute, will ya?

GREEN GOBLIN
Sleep.

The Green Goblin releases gas out of his suit and it makes y/n fall to the floor, unconscious, as Peter stops dangling from his web and begins falling, unconscious as well.

The Green Goblin flies down and catches Peter and carries him while flying back up to Jameson's office.

He grabs y/n and flies off, carrying the two unconscious superheroes.
