SSandman
It's over, Spider-Man. When you were the only one with powers, you had me beat! But now, King Sandman reigns supreme!
Your Majesty! Allow me to build a statue in your honor! [covers Sandman with cement]

S1 E15Unfinished Business
[last lines]
[voice over] Hey, if I wanted all the glory, I wouldn't wear a mask. So Harry gets his dream, and I watch from the sidelines.
[comes from behind] Ice cream?
But of course, that has its benefits too. [Gwen and Peter sit down together, eating the ice cream]
Better finish it, Otto. You owe me a success. No more flukes like the Sandman. I need super-mercenaries I can mass-produce, no matter how many thugs we have to go through — or how many doctors.
[As the Rhino's armour takes shape]
What's with the jungle look?
Ah, the animal kingdom. Offers many useful ideas. That armour is a part of him now - a thick, impenetrable hide. The extras up top there provide offensive capabilities, making him unstoppable.
The good doctor has his quirks, but this approaches competence. Your Mr. Lincoln will be pleased.
Ixnay! We don't ever use the "L" word. Call him "the Big Man."
What's goin' on...?
Mind your own business, O'Hirn!
Right. My business. Better get to it, then! [breaks free and charges outside] 'Cause the Rhino don't wanna keep Spider-Man waitin'!
What do you think? I'm stupid?
Well, you are dressed stupid.
Come one, come all! Before your very eyes, the world's largest dehydrated turtle!
[wearily] I swear I'm gonna crush you... promised Big Man I'd crush you… crush you… crush you… crush you…
Are we losing it a bit, Alexander?
Only Mama calls me Alexander… you're not my Mama! Not my Mama… Mama…
Yes, I think we are.
[half unconscious] Mama… do I have to go to school?
So, Alexander, tell Mama… who's the Big Man?
Ixnay… we don't ever use the "B" word… call him… "Mr. Lincoln"…
I'm impressed. Rhino's still underground, and OsCorp's already got the contract to build his prison cell.
After our success containing Sandman, whom else would the city call?
Meaning you get paid comin' and goin'. Sweet.
Very. But these midtown brawls… people are beginning to ask questions. Best to let things cool off for a bit.
We cool off, when the Big Man says so, see? Or do you want people to know who created Freak 1 and Freak 2?
Please, there's nothing to trace them back to OsCorp or myself.
Really? Tell that to Dr. Octavius.
I'm here to see Mr. Lincoln.
?"Big Man"
Then you should make an appointment. But perhaps we can make an exception for the hero of the day. I am L. Thompson Lincoln.
Please, you're the Big Man!
LTL. Thompson Lincoln
In my life, I've been called many names. My favorite… is "Tombstone".
Back off! I just took down the Rhino. A pale guy in a suit doesn't stand a…
[Tombstone smacks Spider-Man away and pins him to the ground]
Don't move. Just listen. And I'll teach you the facts of life. The Big Man, whomever he might be, has nothing against heroes. No hero can thwart enough crime to dent his income. But you... you frighten criminals off the streets entirely. Except when you're off battling the like of the Rhino. Then the Big Man's profitable army of petty thugs think themselves beneath the Spider-Man's notice.
So as long as I keep fighting crime, you'll keep making bigger and badder…
Now, you're learning. But there is a way out. Come work for me. You can still save the world like a good hero. I'll even pay you. All you have to remember is to look the other way on occasion. On any occasion I choose.
I can't ever look the other way again. Let's finish this.
[sigh] If you insist. [Buzzes two cops into the room] Officers, Spider-Man has trespassed on my property, assaulted my employees and threatened my person.
You mean… you're Mary Jane Watson?
MJMary Jane Watson
Face it, Tiger. You just hit the jackpot.
Hey, did I mess up your costume? Leave off the threads, Emerald Elf, and that's an order!
Ah, but the Green Goblin doesn't take orders from insects. The Green Goblin swats them into oblivion!
Now, see, that's a common misconception. Spiders are actually arachnids--
[The Goblin just laughs and throws another pumpkin bomb at him]
Uh-oh!
TThug
Get the freak!
[Green Goblin knocks out two other thugs before cornering Thug with the Goblin Glider]
TThug
I mean... get the freak whatever he wants!
All I want is your undying loyalty. Or, the dying kind. The Green Goblin is nothing, if not flexible...
Hello. Good evening! Bonsoir! I am the Green Goblin and I am looking for the Big Man!
I don't know who you are, but....
Of course you don't! That's the point of the mask, genius!
Oh, he swings through the air, dishing all kinds of fear! This daring Goblin on the big chandelier!
What do you hope to accomplish here tonight?
So the whole "wanting to destroy you and take over your empire" thing wasn't clear? Well, darn.
Uh… yoo-hoo! Excuse me. Can I come in this way or do I have to break my own window?
GGGreen Goblin, Tombstone, and J. Jonah Jameson
Spider-Man!
Your timing is impeccable.
So, your latest super-loser turned on you, huh, Toomie?
I don't know who he is... yet! But he's not in my employ.
That's okay. I can always pretend he's yours while I trounce him. I'll still feel all warm inside.
Hell-ooo! I'm in the room! Really, you're both too rude!
Oh, where are my manners? Here you come to terrorize the Tombster and I don't even say thank you. My only excuse is that you're holding innocent people hostage! It's confusing to my poor spider-brain.
Mmm, yes, quite the puzzler. But the Green Goblin has a solution: you and I join forces! Consider what we could accomplish by combining our powers! WE COULD RULE NEW YORK!
Are we talking Manhattan, or all five? Nah, sorry. I make it a rule not to partner with anyone green. Or, you know, psychotic.
[sighs] Oh well, your loss... of life!
NOW what's so funny?
Just a special fire and brimstone pumpkin I left behind, as a present for our "Mr. Lincoln." Any minute now, the creme de la creme of New York City is going to paint the town red! Well, the ballroom anyway.
Now, run your experiments like a good Dr. Octopus.
Mr. Osborn, please, I've told you. That name is so… demeaning.
