PETER
What?
Peter, May, and Happy turn towards the TV. The local news is
live with helicopter footage of the outside of the apartment.
The lower third graphic reads: “SPIDER-MAN’S IDENTITY
REVEALED.”
MAY
(gasps)
Is that--
HAPPY
Is that here?
PETER
Um...
The distraction is over. Peter sighs, slumps over, and pulls
up the blind TO REVEAL...
INSANITY. HELICOPTERS. PEOPLE gathered on the streets and
nearby rooftops, calling out Peter’s name.
May and Happy join Peter at the window. Looking out at the
chaos. Mouths agape.
PETER (CONT'D)
I mean, maybe it’s not such a big
deal?

slides towards the upper righthand corner of the screen to
reveal J. Jonah Jameson at TheDailyBugle.net news desk.
