NED (O.S.)
I’m trying to close it, MJ! Don’t
tell them that it’s not working!
INT. MIDTOWN HIGH - CHEMISTRY LAB - SAME TIME (NIGHT)
Ned struggles to close the portal. Deep breaths.
NED
Okay, wait, wait. Yeah... wait.
We’ll just keep going.
MJ
All right, no. It’s fine... you’re
gonna do it again. We’re just
gonna keep trying.
NED
All right, all right, we got it, we
got it... we got this!
MJ
(calming voice)
Focus. Close the portal... close
the portal...
EXT. STATUE OF LIBERTY - SCAFFOLDING - INTERCUT - SAME (NIGHT)
Spider-Man spots Lizard CHARGING at the portal!
SPIDER-MAN
Oh no. No, no, no!
WHOOSH! Spider-Man SWINGS to the portal...
IN THE LAB, as Ned and MJ panic--
MJ
And that is a lizard!
NED
No, no, it’s a big lizard!
They take off running as Lizard LEAPS through the portal,
CRASHING through the chairs and lab tables.
Spider-Man swings into the portal, KICKS Lizard back--
SPIDER-MAN
Run!
