- Art: My field of study is incunabula. That's a three dollar word for, eh, expertise on books published, eh, before 1500.
- Peter Parker: That's why we're meeting: to figure out our next move.
- Rita Conway: Oh, just so it isn't a move into new quarters: eight by five with bars on the windows.
- Peter Parker: Rita, this could be... a very bad trip.
- Rita Conway: [sighs] Yeah, well, tell me about it when it's over.
- George Hanson: Did you know I despise you?
- Ben Sorgenson: [under Hanson's spell] Yes.
- George Hanson: Then maybe you'll understand how much pure pleasure this gives me.
- Julie Masters: Hey, what gives, any progress?
- Peter Parker: Look, Julie, this whole situation has gone way past any kind of newspaper competition between you and me. Now, we are planning on doing something, but I can't tell you about it.
- Julie Masters: [refusing to give up] On the level?
- Rita Conway: I got a lot ridin' on this. Like maybe a few years in prison, so...
- Julie Masters: [still not backing down] Hey, I, I'd treat it as confidential 'till you gave me the word.
- Peter Parker: No, I'm sorry. Now please, for the sake of everybody involved, just back off on this story, ok?
- George Hanson: [to Rita] You achieved effective induced paralysis, right?
- Rita Conway: [sheepish] Don't ask me. I was out of it.
- Peter Parker: [Peter sprays David, Rita and Art with the mind controlling gas] David! Rita! Art! We all agree that the secret to this psycho chemical compound should be lost forever. Correct?
- Rita Conway, David, Art: [under Peter's spell, in unison] Yes.
- Peter Parker: Then this is an order. Forget the chemical structure. Forget the components. Forget everything. This is not only my order to you, but to yourselves. It is forgotten. Understood?
- Rita Conway, David, Art: [under Peter's spell, in unison] Yes.
- Peter Parker: [tips the formula into a tank]
- [last lines]
- Peter Parker: Kind of a shame.
