(Peter gasps, having just woken up. He quickly reaches for his face to see if his mask is still on. It is.
He takes off his mask and looks over at his shoulder to see that it's bandaged up, but also finds Liz laying by his side, sleeping like an angel.)

PETER: "I feel like I should fill you in on the last couple weeks...so first of all, Aunt May is ok." (Liz breathes a sigh of relief) "She's at her apartment and everything..."

LIZ: "How did it happen? I thought you told me-"

PETER: "-That's the part I was gonna get to. So I found the guy who drugged her and we fought, but he blind-sided me and next thing I know, I'm playing his game. He made me make a choice: Aunt May...or Spider-Man and I'd choose Aunt May every time."
