Harry Osborn quotes from The Spectacular Spider-Man

Harry Osborn

If it's not me, or you, or Menken, then who's left that knew about the Green? [gasps] You don't think the Goblin could be... Mom?!

Norman Osborn

You seem... troubled, son.

Harry Osborn

Troubled? Gee, you think?! I failed my cal test 'cause Pete abandoned me, Flash's crowd won't cut me a break--

Norman Osborn

Enough. You're parked in a no-whining zone. Take some responsibility. Peter's not the reason you failed. You want to pass a test? Study. You want to be popular? Be popular. Take control of your destiny, boy. Harry, life's pretty simple. You cowboy up and do what you have to do. [leaves]

Harry Osborn

Thanks... I will.

Spider-Man

This makes no sense. If Har... If this kid's the Goblin, why would he attack the Big Man? Why attack OsCorp?

Norman Osborn

I've had "dealings" with the Big Man. But when I tried to extricate myself, I was threatened by his stooge.

Harry Osborn

Hammerhead.

Norman Osborn

Harry must have overheard. Under the influence of the Green, his subconscious created someone who could take the Big Man down. Now, as to why he attacked me...

Harry Osborn

Maybe I've got some anger issues.

Norman Osborn

I will not allow this. I'll say I was the Goblin. After all, I invented the Green. I'm the obvious suspect.

Spider-Man

No. He needs you. And what good could you do him locked away for a crime you didn't commit?

Norman Osborn

Didn't I? This is all my fault. I drove Harry to ... I will get him help, I swear. If you'll let me.

Spider-Man

Me?

Norman Osborn

If you turn him in, if the Big Man learns Harry was the Goblin, he wouldn't survive the night. Please. He's my only child.

Spider-Man

[to himself] And my best friend. [to Osborn] The Goblin disappears. Forever. Leaving a mystery that never gets solved.

Norman Osborn

Thank you.

Harry Osborn

Dad?

Norman Osborn

Son, he's obviously an imposter.

Harry Osborn

Right, right... except... [remembers, frowning] I heard you apologize to Spider-Man last night. Norman Osborn never apologizes!

I did not sign on for this. [leaps out and parachutes away]

Spider-Man

[noticing] Chameleon... [to the real Norman] Then you - you were the Goblin all along!

Norman Osborn

I told you I invented the Green. Of course, I wasn't fool enough to drink it. Small doses in gaseous form increase my strength, agility, intelligence, with no blackouts, no loss of control.

Spider-Man

And you've been working with Chameleon the whole time?

Norman Osborn

Not at first. As Goblin, I appeared at Oscorp to steal my gobweb inhibitor. Imagine my pleasure at finding Norman Osborn a witness to my crime. It was Chameleon, of course, stealing Oscorp's secrets for a competitor. So this week, I hired him to keep you guessing and set you up for a fall!

Spider-Man

But last Halloween, you crashed - the Goblin crashed!

Norman Osborn

And you saw me limp away. Do you know how easy it is to fake a limp?

Spider-Man

But Harry wasn't faking! When I found him that night, he was wearing Goblin's costume, and his leg was really hurt!

Norman Osborn

More serendipity. You had guessed my identity. I knew I had to redirect your suspicion, and when I returned home, I found Harry passed out from an overdose of Green. It didn't take long to deduce the cause of Harry's sudden success at football and in school! It took only slightly longer to dress him as the Goblin. The limp completed the illusion.

Spider-Man

[enraged] YOU FRAMED YOUR OWN SON?!

Norman Osborn

I protected Harry! If I'd been sent to prison, who'd have made a man out of him? Just look at what he's done today! I've never been prouder of the boy!

Spider-Man

Oh, who are you kidding?! You were saving your own sorry butt, not Harry's!

Norman Osborn

Potato, potahto. Once you're out of the picture, I'll make everything right!

Spider-Man

You wouldn't know "right" if it blew up your glider!

Harry Osborn

[to Peter and Gwen] Dad was sick. A victim of the Green. No one knows how that stuff changes you better than I do. Spider-Man should have helped him, not– [sighs, then embraces Gwen] [to Gwen] I don't know what I'd do without you, Gwen. You're all that's keeping me from going back on the Green myself. [smiles evilly] Oh, I got your messages. [finishes embracing Gwen] Was there something you wanted to tell me?

Gwen Stacy

[to Harry] It was nothing.
