- ahead. I'm worried about Aunt May and
- Uncle Ben...
- CABBIE
- Your family?
- SPIDER-MAN
- Well, they are kind of my parents. They
- raised me. I lost both of my parents in
- a car accident... please step on it!
- CABBIE
- Step on it... so now you want to kill
- yourself in another accident... not with
- me, Boychick.

- But I'm telling you... I've got this--

- BEN runs through the rooms.
- INT. BEN AND MAY'S FAMILY ROOM - NIGHT

- as BEN goes to a drawer and pulls out a BOX of BULLETS.
- He begins to fight the BULLETS into the RIFLE.
- WEINER comes flying in and tackles him. They fall to the

- AUNT MAY and PETER embrace, leaning on each other for
- support.
- DETECTIVE
- (compassionate)
- Excuse me. You the nephew?
- PETER rises, nods. As AUNT MAY wipes away a sniffle...
- DETECTIVE
- Your uncle's a brave man. Apparently,
- the perpetrator was after something of
- yours. Your uncle didn't know what it
- was but he stood up to him anyway. You
- ought to be proud of him.
- PETER
- I am... how is he...
- A grim-faced DOCTOR walks slowly across the room to
- them... MAY stands up slowly.
- DETECTIVE
- Ask the Doctor.
- AUNT MAY
- How's my... how's my husband doing...?
- DOCTOR
- Mrs. Parker, I'm sorry. We tried.
