Tony: Oh, Mr. Parker.
Peter: Um... What are you doing... Hey! Uh, Im Peter.
Tony: Tony.
Peter: What are you doing here?
Tony: Its about time we met. Youve been getting my emails, right?
Peter: Yeah.
Tony: Right?
Peter: Yeah. Regarding the...
May: You didn even tell me about the grant.
Peter: About the grant.
Tony: The September Foundation.
Peter: Right.
Tony: Yeah. Remember when you applied?
Peter: Yeah.
Tony: I approved, so now we e in business.
May: But you didn tell me anything. Whats up with that? You keeping secrets from me now?
Peter: I just know how much you love surprises so I thought I would let you know... Anyway, what did I apply for?
Tony: Thats what Im here to hash out.
Peter: Okay. Hash it out, okay.
Tony: Its so hard for me to believe that shes someones aunt.
May: Yeah, well, we come in all shapes and sizes, you know?
Tony: This walnut date loaf is exceptional.
Peter: Let me just stop you there.
Tony: Yeah.
Peter: Is this grant got money involved or whatever? No?
Tony: Yeah, its pretty well funded.
Peter: Yeah? Wow.
Tony: Look who you e talking to. Can I have five minutes with him?
May: Sure.
Tony: As walnut date loaves go, that wasn bad. Whoa, what have we here? Retro tech, huh? Thrift store? Salvation Army?
Peter: Uh, the garbage, actually.
Tony: You e a dumpster diver?
Peter: Yeah, I was... Anyway, look, um, I definitely did not apply for your grant...
Tony: Ah-ah! Me first.
Peter: Okay.
Tony: Quick question of the rhetorical variety. Thats you, right?
Peter: Um, no. What do you mean?
Tony: Yeah. Look at you go. Wow! Nice catch. 3,000 pounds, 40 miles an hour. Thats not easy. You got mad skills.
Peter: Thats all on YouTube, though, right? Thats where you found that? Because you know thats all fake. Its all done on the computer.
Tony: Mmm-hmm.
Peter: Its like that video. What is it?
Tony: Yeah. Oh, you mean like those UFOs over Phoenix?
Peter: Exactly.
Tony: Oh, what have we here?
Peter: Uh... That’s a …
Tony: So, you e the Spider-ling. Crime-fighting spider. You e Spider-Boy?
Peter: Spider-Man.
Tony: Not in that onesie, you e not.
Peter: Its not a onesie. I don believe this. I was actually having a really good day today, Mr. Stark. Didn miss my train, this perfectly good DVD player was just sitting there, and Algebra test, nailed it.
Tony: Who else knows? Anybody?
Peter: Nobody.
Tony: Not even your unusually attractive aunt?
Peter: No. No. No! If she knew, she would freak out. And when she freaks out, I freak out.
Tony: You know what I think is really cool? This webbing. That tensile strength is off the charts. Who manufactured that?
Peter: I did.
Tony: Climbing walls, how you doing that? Adhesive gloves?
Peter: Its a long story. I was...
Tony: Lordy! Can you even see in these?
Peter: Yes, I can.
Tony: Im blind!
Peter: I can see in those. Okay? Its just that when whatever happened, happened... its like my senses have been dialled to 11. Theres way too much input, so they just kinda help me focus.
Tony: You e in dire need of an upgrade. Systemic, top to bottom, hundred-point restoration. Thats why Im here. Why you doing this? I gotta know, whats your MO? What gets you outta that twin bed in the morning?
Peter: Because... Because Ive been me my whole life, and Ive had these powers for six months.
Tony: Mmm-hmm.
Peter: I read books, I build computers. Yeah, I would love to play football, but I couldn then, so I shouldn now.
Tony: Sure, because you e different.
Peter: Exactly. But I can tell anybody that, so Im not. When you can do the things that I can, but you don ...and then the bad things happen...they happen because of you.
Tony: So you wanna look out for the little guy, you wanna do your part? Make the world a better place, all that, right?
Peter: Yeah, just looking out for the little guy. Thats what it is.
Tony: Im gonna sit here, so you move the leg. You got a passport?
Peter: No, I don even have a drivers license.
Tony: You ever been to Germany?
Peter: No.
Tony: Oh, youll love it.
Peter: I can go to Germany.
Tony: Why?
Peter: I got homework.
Tony: Im gonna pretend you didn say that.
Peter: No, Im being serious. I can just drop out of school.
Tony: Might be a little dangerous. Better tell Aunt Hottie Im taking you on a field trip.
