I chose my path, you chose the way of the hero. And they found you amusing for a while, the people of this city. But the one thing they love more than a hero is to see a hero fail, fall, die trying. In spite of everything you've done for them, eventually they will hate you. Why bother?

You're an amazing creature, Spider-Man. You and I are not so different.

Here's the real truth. There are eight million people in this city, and those teaming masses exist for the sole purpose of lifting the few exceptional onto their shoulders. You, me. We're exceptional. I could squash you like a bug right now. But I'm offering you a choice. Join me, imagine what we could accomplish together. What we could create. Or we could destroy. Cause the deaths of countless innocents in selfish battles again, again, and again until we're both dead. Is that what you want? THINK ABOUT IT, HERO!

You're pathetically predictable. Like a moth to the flame. What about my generous proposal!? Are you in, or are you out?

Spider-Man! This is why only fools are heroes, because you never know when some lunatic will come along with a sadistic choice. Let die the woman you love. Or suffer the little children. Make your choice Spider-Man, and see how a hero is rewarded.

We are who we choose to be. Now choose!

Misery misery misery, that's what you've chosen. I offered you friendship, and spat in my face.

You've spun your last web, Spider-Man. Had you not been so selfish, your little girlfriend's death would've been quick and painless, but now that you've pissed me off, I'm gonna finish her nice... and slow. MJ and I, we're gonna have a hell of a time!
