01x24 - Farewell Performance

[bunniefuu]

Peter: So I Was Sent By My Boss To Take Pictures

Of The Old Castle Theater Before They Tear It Down.

The Real Pictures Of All That Happened

In This Great Old Theater

Are Etched In Our Hearts Forever.

Emily's Right.

Who Could Ever Forget...

James: Blackwell, The Greatest Magician Of This Or Any Time,

The Beauteous Lillian Russell,

And, Of Course,

You, My Dear--

A Tragedian
Of Superb Talent.

Your Own Unforgettable Performance As Dr. Jekyll

And Mr. Hyde Sent Chills Down My Spine!

I've Got A Few Chills
Myself--

Spider Sense Chills.

Aah!

James: The Poster-- It--It's Alive!

What's All This Nonsense

About A Ghost At The Castle Theater?

Well, It's Like This, Mr. Jameson--

Don't Interrupt, Parker!

The Daily Bugle Has Been Backing

A City-Wide Beautification Campaign

To Get Rid Of Eyesores

Like That Old Termite Tent Show!

I Think Ghosts Are Fun.

And I Saw The Ghost, Too,

Only It Disappeared Before I Could Get A Picture.

Parker, You're The Victim Of An Underworked Body

And An Overworked
Imagination!

If I Have My Way,

That Theater Will Be Torn Down--Ghost Or No Ghost!

Ok, Men. Here We Go.

[Twirr, Twirr]

What's Going On Here?

Hey, Joe, Give It The Hammer!

Ok...Who's The Wise Guy?!

Hey, B-B-Boss, The Place Is Haunted!

Let Me Outta Here!

Hey, You Guys...

Wait For Me!

Wait!!

Wait Just A Minute!

I Tell Ya, There's No Such Thing As Ghosts!

I Don't Care How You Do It, But Tear Down That Building!

That Theater Is Coming Down,

And There's Not A Ghost Alive That Can Stop Me!

A Ghost...Alive!

Now, There's An Interesting Idea.

Spider-Man: Nothing Wrong With These Posters.

They're Really Paper.

Blackwell! He Might Have Been Able

To Pull Those Stunts Off!

Boy, Are My Spider Senses Ever Tingling!

If Spider-Man Only Knew What Was In Store For Him...

The Show Is About To Begin!

[Clapping]

And Now,

For Our Star Performer,

Blackwell: Spider-Man.

So, Blackwell,
You Are The One

Behind This.

Of Course! Who Else Has My Genius?

Your Modesty
Overwhelms Me.

But What Can You Do For An Encore?

I Shall Send You The Dove Of Peace!

Blackwell:
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!

Walloping Websnappers!

Blackwell's Flown The Coop, Too!

He Escaped That One.

Ah, But The Best Is Yet To Come.

My Spider Senses Are Acting Up Again.

Hold Everything!

The Party's Getting
Rough!

He Must Be Up
There Somewhere!

He Swallowed The Bait.

Shh! Let's See
What Happens.

I Know You're Here,
Blackwell.

Come On Out!

I Shall, Spider-Man, When It Suits Me!

Ha Ha Ha Ha!

Booby-Trapped!

And Now,
For My Next Trick...

What's The Matter,
Spider-Man?

They're Only Cannonballs!

I Don't Get A Bang
Out Of 'Em.

Let's See You Presto Yourself Out Of My Web!

If You Insist.

I'll Show You A Little Trick I Taught Houdini!

Bust My Webs--He Did It!

Ha Ha. Offhand,
My Dear Emily,

I'd Say That Spider-Man Has Met His Match.

[Pounding] Blackwell: In Here, Spider-Man.

I Know It's A Trick, But--

Empty!

But My Spider Sense...

[Pounding]

You Don't Like Confined Quarters, Spider-Man?

Very Well...

What A Gripping Scene!

Here--Catch!

Do You Ever Miss?

Never!

Blackwell: Ha Ha Ha!

Here I Am, Spider-Man!

Fun's Fun, But The Show's Over, Blackwell.

There's Nothing
Like Having

A c*ptive Audience.

James Boothe And Emily Thorndike!

Watch Closely,
Spider-Man,

And You Will See Which Of Us Has The Greatest Power.

There's Only
One Blackwell.

Thank Goodness.

If He Runs Out Of Tricks,

He Can Always Get A Job Moving Furniture.

Undeniably The Greatest.

I Could Enjoy It More

If You'd Point That Thing The Other Way!

Keep Your Eyes On The Stage, Spider-Man.

Blackwell: Countdown!



Blast-Off!

Emily: Bravo, Blackwell!

[Applause]

James: More! More!

The Show's Over, Folks.

It's...A Wooden Prop g*n

And A Rubber Knife!

Correct, Spider-Man.

This Performance Was For Your Benefit.

Our Motive--To Save The Old Castle Theater.

If You Will Champion
Our Cause,

Perhaps The Theater Can Be Spared.

Will You Help Us?

It's A Deal.

Providing You'll Do Exactly What I Say.

First, We'll Contact A Rival Newspaper...

A Less Worthy
Publication

Than Your Daily Bugle States That Spider-Man--

That Arch-Villain
Of Society!

James: Has Openly Declared

That The Castle Theater Should Be Torn Down!

He Called Our Memories Of Yesteryear

So Much Hogwash!

Hogwash! Why, That Web-Headed Monster!

I'll Fix Him!

I, J. Jonah Jameson

Dedicate My Paper To The Preservation

Of The Old Castle Theater-- For All Posterity!

But I Thought You Were Backing The Campaign

To Clear Out All The Old Buildings.

I, Uh, Was Only Trying To Point Out Their Real Value.

You See? My Plan Worked!

What An Act
Old Jonah's Got.

Now I Know What k*lled Vaudeville.
