Spiderman 2 Lost Scene

July 17, 2004 6:57 PM

This scene was cut from the first draft of the Spiderman 2 script.

PETER hangs suspended from the SPIDER WEB, and
looks meaningfully at MARY-JANE

        PETER
    You see... that's why we can never
    be together. Spiderman will always 
    have enemies, and I couldn't bear
    anything happening to you. It's the
    only way to keep you safe.
    
        MARY-JANE
    Sure. What-ever!
    
PETER can't quite process this. He just sits
there on the web.

        MARY-JANE
    Well, how many mortal enemies have
    you had?

        PETER
    The Green Goblin. Doctor Octopus.
    That makes two.
    
        MARY-JANE
    And how many times have I been
    abducted by your mortal enemy and 
    almost killed, despite you being so
    very careful to make sure we're
    not a couple?
    
PETER, once again, has no response to this.

        MARY-JANE
    TWICE, you complete pillock!
    
Another moment of silence.

        MARY-JANE
    So, what difference would it have
    made if we'd just been shagging like
    crazed rabbits for the last three
    years? But no! You  just HAD to go
    on with your stupid martyr act!
    Does masochism run in your family
    or something?
    
        PETER
    Hey! That's not fair!
    
        MARY-JANE
    Too bloody right it isn't. Do 
    you realise how much this is
    going to complicate my love-
    life?
    
        PETER
    I'm sorry... What will you tell
    astronaut-guy?
    
        MARY-JANE
    Oh, I'm over him already. I was
    talking about Jarvis.
    
One more unexpected revelation might just be too
much for PETER.

        MARY-JANE
    Jarvis. Jarvis Cocker. I figured
    if I was going to be attracted to
    moping guys in thick glasses, I
    might as well find one who sings
    about how good he is in bed.
    
CUT to MARY-JANE being lowered rather quickly from
the web by a long strand of SPIDER-SILK.

TObey MAguire is well fit, how can u compare hin to Jarviz Cocker!

Funny though - liked ur script!!

i hate this script! where is the love? the romance? the feeling? where is it? its not there. i liked their final one. it was soo much better.when kirstin's lip quivered after he said that "we can never be"... my lip quivered too. this movie was awesome!

i thought the movie was great! it was weird though how it kept going back and forth--he loved her, she doesn't love him; she loves him he doesn't love her. but overall it was good! one of my favorite parts was the line "sometimes to be right you have to give up what you want the most, even your dreams..." i think thats it and how they say it twice--Aunt Mae says it to Peter then Peter says it to Otto. spiderman 2 was also a lot funnier than 1 but spiderman will always be the original...

i totally agree spiderman 2 was funnier and more action packed but spiderman will always be the original

Spiderman2 is way better than the 1st spiderman.Spiderman rocks.

This has to be my choice for movie of 2004. The script was brilliant especially the part when Peter is talking to the doctor and the doctor says something along the lines that 'may you are not meant to be climbing those walls, thats why you keep falling'. The romance was well done and everyone can relate to some part of the story. Overall, "well played"

The romance for me was "real" unlike most scripts we felt Peters pain with him, love is complicated and that came through in the script. Overall, its a script that has a little something for everyone. The only fault it had is that the movie ended:) Can't wait for the next installment

Aren't they New Yorkers? What's with the bloody pillock shagging?
I like the version where Peter is responsible. It's not a matter of whether Mary Jane was still in danger, it's a matter of whether Peter is careful or careless with how being Spider-Man affects those around him.
You bring up an interesting point in a somewhat amusing way, but I don't think you really get what Spider-Man is about.
D+.

Andy: You might want to lighten up a little. But thanks for the laugh. :)

A few weeks ago, I was involved in some trivia competition, and one of the questions was "Name a top ten hit by Air Supply". I was pretty proud that I couldn't remember a single one - that's one piece of cultural wallpaper my brain didn't feel the need to retain.

I can't say I feel any differently over "not getting what Spider-Man is about".
