Spider-Man: Well, it’s no big conspiracy or anything. I just want to do what I can for people. But—I have family and friends and I don’t want to, like, put their lives in danger just because they know me. I want to protect them, so, yeah, I wear a mask. It’s pretty simple, really.
Reporter: But people might have a hard time trusting someone dressed like this.
Spider-Man: Well, I have a hard time trusting people who wear those hats with a beer can on each side, so… listen, I know it’s corny, but the outfit means something to me and yeah—even though my wearing the mask might have idiots like that trying to use me to get attention for themselves… and people like that load J. Jonah Jameson at the Bugle trying to use me to sell papers my trashing the crap out of me all the time… I—I just don’t care…
Reporter: Why don’t you care?
Spider-Man: Because a guy a whole lot smarter than any of us once told me that with power comes a great deal of responsibility. And that’s not just for people with powers, like me. It think it goes for everybody. So I’m just—going to live my life that way and everything else is noise.

All right, listen, the cops are coming so I’m out of here. Is everyone okay? All right. See ya.
