Quotes 

• Stan Lee : You know, Spidey? I've always wanted to experience *real* web-slinging.

  Spider-Man : And I've always wanted to be appreciated as a real hero.

• Spider-Man : I don't believe what you're telling me. In your reality, I'm a character in fiction?

  Spider-Man Prime : Yep, and I'm an actor who plays you on TV. And there's someone here I knew you have to meet. He's the man who created you for fans all over the world.

• Spider-Man : You know, for so long, I thought I never got any breaks. But now after all I've been through, for once I like my life. I like myself. And for the first time ever, I wouldn't want to change anything about me.

  Stan Lee : Gee, you're definitely not the same guy I've been writing about all these years.

  Spider-Man : Well, Stan, we all have to grow up sometimes, I suppose. Even us characters of fiction.

  Madame Web : [appears in a portal]  Spider-Man. It's time go.

  Stan Lee : Who is that exotic lady?

  Spider-Man : Oh, her? She's my ride. It's been great meeting you. Take care of yourself.

  Stan Lee : You too, Spider-Man. Farewell and good luck.

• [last lines] 

  Madame Web : Face front, true believer. We're going to find the real Mary Jane Watson. It's been a long, hard journey and I think you're finally entitled to some happiness.

  Spider-Man : Amen to that, dear lady. Amen to that.

• Spider-Man : That Stan Lee's quite a guy!

  Madame Web : I think he's truly special.

• Spider-Man Prime : What are you planning to do?

  Spider-Carnage : I devised a way to amplify the dimensional transporter; only this hole won't lead to another dimension. I've recalibrated the interface.

  Spider-Man Prime : You've deliberately created an imbalance and whatever gets sucked into that hole...

  Spider-Carnage : Right! It will cease to exist in minutes! This hole will grow large enough to suck this city into oblivion and the entire planet!

  Spider-Man Prime : You can't do something this horrible! It just isn't in you. Because it isn't in me; and you are me.

  Spider-Carnage : I'm more you than ever!

  Spider-Man Prime : And maybe you're being overtaken by the symbiote. There's only one way I can find out. I need to reach the *real* Peter Parker inside of you. The one who cares about the people around him.

  Spider-Carnage : He's gone! For good!

  Spider-Man Prime : Is he? I know he won't talk to me. But I brought along someone he might want to talk to.

  [From behind Spider-Man Prime, a figure steps out of the shadows] 

  Spider-Carnage : No! It can't be!

  [It is - Uncle Ben, alive and well] 

  Uncle Ben Parker : Peter. It's me, Uncle Ben.

  Spider-Carnage : Uncle Ben?

  Uncle Ben Parker : I've been told everything.

• Armored Spider-Man : What is he doing? Why isn't he with my girl?

  Madame Web : Be quiet! He is using his head, something YOU may never learn to do!

• Uncle Ben Parker : I know you've had a very bad time but in this dimension, I'm here for you and no matter what, I love you.

  [Spider-Carnage unmasks] 

  Spider-Carnage : I love you too, Uncle Ben.

  [loses his composure and falls to his knees] 

  Spider-Carnage : I love you too.

  Uncle Ben Parker : Do you remember what I taught you about great power?

  Spider-Carnage : [sobbing]  Yes. With great power there must also come great responsibility.

  Uncle Ben Parker : Peter, there's an evil inside you. It's your responsibility to the world and to yourself to expel it. Get rid of it. Please.

  Spider-Carnage : Yes. I must. I see that now.

  [Spider-Carnage doubles over in pain, screaming] 

  Uncle Ben Parker : [to Spider-Man Prime]  What's wrong with him?

  Spider-Man Prime : He's trying to get rid of this, but it's not giving up without a fight.

  Uncle Ben Parker : [to Spider-Carnage]  Fight it, Peter. Fight it with all your heart and soul. Your real heart and soul.

  [the symbiote is close to separating itself from Peter, but the connection is too strong. Spider-Carnage continues to scream in pain] 

  Spider-Carnage : Too painful! I'm sorry for all the things I did! Forgive Me!

  [Out of desperation, Spider-Carnage grabs the dimensional transporter and minimizes the hole to normal and throws himself into it]
