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.
