The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)
Chris Cooper: Norman Osborn
Quotes
-
Norman Osborn : This is not how I imagined I would die. Looking at my son and seeing a stranger. You have such potential, Harry. Such fierce intelligence, and you're throwing it all away.
Harry Osborn : No, you threw me away. You kicked me off to boarding school when I was 11. On my 16th birthday, you sent me Scotch. Or one of your assistants did. I'm pretty sure because the card read: "With compliments, Norman Osborn."
Norman Osborn : I don't expect forgiveness from you anymore. I don't believe in miracles. How could you possibly understand that your childhood had to be sacrificed for something greater? And not just for me. For you! Has your hand started to twitch yet? When you lay awake and you feel it coming, hiding under your skin, waiting to show itself. To show you who you really are. Retro viral hyperplasia. I never told you that it's genetic. Our disease, the Osborn curse. And it began at your age. Let me see it. Your hand. Give it to me. The greatest inheritance I can give you isn't merely money. It's this. The sum total of all my work. Everything I did to stay alive. Maybe you can succeed where I failed.

[In an Oscorp conference room, Peter and Harry watch a video of their fathers]
Norman Osborn : You're looking at the world's first human-spider hybrids.
Richard Parker : The hope is to extract the venom from their glands and turn that into a cure. An agent that heals diseased cells.
Norman Osborn : And if I can be cured, imagine what this could do for other diseases, like Alzheimers, even cancer.
Harry Osborn : [turns off the video] They never made it to human trials. It's fourteen years of research, and nothing to show for it.
[Peter frowns as Harry gets out of his chair]
Harry Osborn : Except maybe this.
[gets a copy of the Daily Bugle and slams it down on the table; Spider-Man's on the cover; Peter looks curious]
Harry Osborn : Spider-Man.
Peter Parker : What about him?
Harry Osborn : He was bitten by one of those things, and it worked! I don't know how and I don't know why, but he can do everything a spider can, including self-heal. I need to find him. I need his blood.
Peter Parker : [looks at Harry curiously] You need... Spider-Man's blood?
[Peter sits; Harry looks at him intensely]
Harry Osborn : It'll save my life.
Peter Parker : It may not, Har. It may not be that simple. You saw what happened to Curt Connors, right?
Harry Osborn : Connors was weak. This is me, Peter.
Peter Parker : I don't think you can just set up a van and have him donate. I mean, I'm sure he's sensitive about people shoving needles and...
Harry Osborn : Ah, he's sensitive, OK. Well, then, maybe you could just "sensitively" tell me where he is, and I will go ask him myself!
Peter Parker : What?
Harry Osborn : [looks at the press photo] You took his picture.
Peter Parker : So?
Harry Osborn : You know him.
Peter Parker : Harry, I took the picture from a long way away. I used a long lens. I don't know him.
Harry Osborn : I put together what you said at the river.
Peter Parker : What I--?
Harry Osborn : About how he gives people hope. Come on. Just say yes.
[Peter looks around anxiously, gets up and walks to the door; Harry pulls him around to face him]
Harry Osborn : Don't turn your back on me! I don't want to end up like my father, Peter. Please. Peter, please. I can't.
[Peter avoids Harry's gaze; Harry desperately wraps his arms around Peter]
Harry Osborn : Please.
Peter Parker : [grey-faced, pulls away from Harry] I'm gonna try and find Spider-Man.
