Movie quotes

  • (..) We're standing here with two eyewitnesses who are going to tell us what they just saw. So tell us. How do you think Spider-Man did it. How do you think he beat this creature. Yea, it got to be rubberised, Spideys suit that's, that's why he didn't get electrocuted. Probably some kind of neoprene. (..)
