[Spider-Man is unable to stop the reactor, so he turns to the only person who can help him... ]
Spider-Man: Doctor Octavius!
[Doc Ock frowns puzzledy, He recognizes that voice - and as if to confirm it, Spider-Man removes his mask and reveals his identity... ]
Peter Parker: We have to shut it down! Please tell me how!
Doc Ock: Peter Parker...?Brilliant but lazy."
[He chuckles at this statement made by his old friend, now seeing its irony]
Peter Parker: Look at what's happening! We have to stop it!
Doc Ock: I can't stop it... I WON'T!
[He clamps a tentacle on Peter's neck and glares at him]
Peter Parker: You once spoke to me about intelligence... you said it was a gift to be used for the greater good...
Doc Ock: A privilege...
Peter Parker: These things have turned you into something else... don't listen to THEM...
Doc Ock: It was my dream...
Peter Parker: Sometimes... to do what's right... we must be steady... and give up the things we desire the most... even our dreams.
Doc Ock: You're right.
[a piece of wreckage gets sucked into the machine. Outside several cars are pulled towards the vortex]
Doc Ock: [to his arms] He's right...
[the tentacles click and whirl, strongly disagreeing with him]
Dr. Otto Octavius: Listen... listen to me now! Listen to ME now!
[He finally acquires his sanity, and control over his tentacles. With a jerk, a tentacle lets go of Peter]
Peter Parker: Now... tell me how to stop it!
Dr. Otto Octavius: It can't be stopped. It's self-sustaining now.

Doc Ock: Unless... the river! Drown it!

Dr. Otto Octavius: I'll do it.
[He heads towards his Frankenstein creation, pausing for a moment to look back at Peter. Peter meets his glance, and then sensing someone, looks behind him and sees Mary Jane... ]

Doc Ock: Gone.
Doc Ock: [arms click and whir] Rebuild? No. Peter was right. I miscalculated.
Doc Ock: [Ock whirls, madness setting in] I couldn't have miscalculated. It was working, wasn't it?
[arms click and whir]
Doc Ock: Yes. We can rebuild. Enlarge the containment field. Make it bigger and stronger than ever! But we need money.
[arms click and whir]
Doc Ock: Steal it? No, no, no, I'm not a criminal.
[arms click and whir]
Doc Ock: That's right... the real crime would be not to finish what we started.
Doc Ock: [arms carry him into his hideout] We'll do it here. The power of the sun in the palm of my hand.
[arms lift him high]
Doc Ock: Nothing will stand in our way! NOTHING!

Doc Ock: You've stuck your webs into my business for the last time!

Spider-Man: Spidey and friends, one. Bad guys, nothing.
Doctor Octopus: Ye... *Friends?*

[a large PHANTOM appears to fight Spider-Man and Doctor Octopus]

Doctor Octopus: And this is where we *stop* agreeing!

[Octavius grabs Osborn with one of his mechanical arms and flings him to the wall]
Dr. Octopus: Silence, you imperious moron!
Spider-Man: Whoa, there, slinky! Mr. Osborn here helped save your life!
Dr. Octopus: You!
[Octavius grabs Spider-man and does the same]
Spider-Man: For the record, I helped save your life too.
Dr. Octopus: Do not insult my intelligence, *hero*. You tracked me down and tried to destroy me! As I knew you would.
Spider-Man: Destroy you? Pal, I don't even know you.

[Octavius releases Osborn]
Norman Osborn: Otto...
Dr. Octopus: Otto Octavius was weak. Call me... Doctor Octopus!

Norman Osborn: Now, run your experiments like a good Dr. Octopus.
Dr. Otto Octavius: Mr. Osborn, please, I've told you. That name is so... demeaning.

Spider-Man: Look, doc, you thought this through? The next Spider-Man who finds you under a pile of debris might view this as a cautionary tale.
Dr. Octopus: Glib does not equate with clever, Spider-Man.
Spider-Man: Yeah, well, the ration of arms to sanity hasn't exactly been established either.
Dr. Octopus: Do you ever shut up?
Spider-Man: Sorry, no. My fans expect a certain amout of quippage in every battle.

Dr. Octopus: I cannot believe I once lived in this anemic hovel. Well, no more. And no more, "Yes, Mr. Osborn. I'm sorry, Mr. Osborn. Please, Mr. Osborn." How I groveled before that man. But soon the whole world shall grovel before the genius that is Dr. Octopus.
