(Sunday: The Oscorp Expo. We open on a street corner, when a grey car pulls up to the curb: it's Aunt May driving Peter. Peter is playing around with his camera as Aunt May kills the engine.)

MAY: "Well, I guess this is your stop, kid."

PETER: (reluctantly) "Yeah..."

MAY: "You nervous?"

PETER: "Eh, my first official gig as a photographer for the Daily Bugle. What's there to be nervous about?"

He takes one more photo and looks at the camera in order to see if it's good when he notices something...peculiar.)

PETER: (shouting at someone) "Hey, Harry!"

PETER: (shouting at someone) "Hey, Harry!"

(Sure enough, Harry turns around confused, sees Peter, and smiles.)

HARRY: "Pete! What the hell? I think security needs to double check who they let in! What are you doing here?"

(They meet in the middle and have a nice bro-hug.)

PETER: "Work." (Holds up Daily Bugle press pass) "How are you doin' man?"

HARRY: "I'm alright, just trying not to die from all these boring conversations that literally go the EXACT SAME way every time.  By the way, did you turn in that essay due last night?"
