Spider-Man Unlimited (1999–2005): Season 1, Episode 11 - One Is the Loneliest Number - full transcript
[siren wailing]
[Spider-Man thinking]
Basement jazz.
Just the way I like it,
not too highly evolved.
[chuckles]
Makes me really miss those
arguments about rock and roll
I used to have with Aunt May.
I hope she's all right
and not too worried about me.
Yeah, that'll be the day
that Aunt May doesn't worry
about poor Peter.
Venom. Without Carnage?
Dumb without Dumber?
I thought those two
were tied together
at the symbiote.
Increase the harmonic game.
That should draw him
more quickly.
[Spider-Man thinking
in singsong voice] Oh, Venny,
come out, come out
wherever you--
[grunts]
We just love
running into old friends.
[thinking] Oh, man.
Forgot Venom doesn't
trigger my spider sense.
[grunts]
Gotta hit the old sonics.
[beeping]
So much for my secret weapon.
[Venom] You should enjoy this.
We know you always
thought of yourself
as a real swinger.
[Spider-Man thinking]
Be close, Spidey.
It could be worse.
You're okay
if he doesn't let go!
[grunting, yelling]
[grunts]
[theme music playing]
[grunting]
[Spider-Man thinking]
Can't do it. I-- I can't...
[grunts]
Gotta do it.
Come on, Spidey.
Find the strength.
How else are you
gonna get back to MJ?
[grunting]
He's in position. Now.
[screaming]
[grunts]
-[yelling]
-[thinking] My little human
wrecking ball act
trashed some of my suit's
circuitry and fried my sonics.
[Venom groaning]
[thinking] Venom. It sounds
like he's in pain.
Beasties in the basement
always spells one thing--
bad.
[groaning continues]
[Spider-Man thinking]
Brock? But how?
Eddie Brock
and his symbiotic soulmate
Venom are splitsville?
No way.
The first time I saw a symbiote
was back on Earth
when John Jameson's shuttle
crashed on the Brooklyn Bridge.
Before I even knew what it was,
the symbiote bonded with me.
It flowed over me,
forming a kind of alien costume
which gave me powers
I'd never dreamed of.
But then it started
taking over my mind,
slowly turning me
into a monster.
When I finally found
its weakness,
I managed to free myself
from the symbiote's control.
But it found
an all-too-willing host
in Eddie Brock.
Brock became Venom.
But because the symbiote
had bonded with me first,
it knew my every move
and my secret identity.
[grunting]
It was the toughest fight
of my life,
but I finally beat him.
The authorities
took him to a happy place
to make baskets all day,
until he met his soon-to-be
partner in slime, Carnage.
[gasps]
[screaming]
[yells]
[Spider-Man] Over the years,
Brock's been completely
subsumed by the symbiote.
No telling what's happened
to his mind in all this time.
He may not even
remember who I am.
Parker, you did this to me!
Brock, cool it.
I'm trying to help you,
you big jerk.
And I felt sorry for you?
Venom's very existence
threatens me
and this entire planet.
[grunts]
You're on your own, Eddie.
But you're not Venom,
are you?
You're a human being--
one who needs help.
I know just where to get it.
[Carnage]
Grow, young ones.
We're building you
a cozy new home.
We've redecorated
the entire place.
The tendrils, humidity,
organic fertilizer.
Soon you'll be big and strong.
No! No!
You can't contain us!
What have you done
with our brother Venom?
-[shuddering breaths]
-[beeps]
Ugh!
This is quite an outfit.
Is this guy a friend of yours?
I guess you could say
more of an acquaintance.
[beeping]
Whoa.
Never seen readings
like this before.
He's been detached
from a symbiote,
but this is an extreme case.
Peter, how do you know somebody
in a condition like this?
I worked with him at the--
Well, it's a long story.
One that's about to have
a short ending.
This man was bonded
to a symbiote for so long
that if he's not reunited,
he'll die.
-[Shane] Mom?
-I have to see Shane.
But I need to know more
when I get back.
Parker, do something.
Help me!
The doctor says you need
the symbiote back to live.
Then go. Get it!
Don't forget.
I can tell the whole world
about you, web-head.
Oh, you really know
how to appeal to a guy,
don't you, Eddie?
I need my symbiote, Parker.
I need it!
Let's get this straight,
Brock.
I like you even less
than you like me.
As far as I'm concerned,
you should be locked
in a trunk in a cell
at the bottom of the ocean.
But I can't sit back
and watch a man die.
Not even you, Eddie.
I'll do what I can.
I'm gonna hate myself
in the morning.
Hurry.
[gasps]
Give us what we want,
flesh-bags!
[whimpering]
Venom was here.
We know it!
[yells]
Where is Venom?
Tell us!
Hey, believe me, if I knew
who you was looking for,
I'd tell ya.
[Spider-Man] Hey, Carny,
how about a time-out?
You, Spider-Man,
always hated us.
What have you done
with Venom?
Maybe he's out getting
that new hairdo
he's always wanted.
[grunts]
You take the low road, Carny.
I'm moving up in the world.
[laughing]
[grunts]
[grunts]
Don't panic, folks.
I'm with the transit police.
Like the new uniforms?
[screams]
Where is Venom?
Where did you take
our other self?
Wherever he is,
I'll bet the conversation
is better.
How about we talk about,
say, literature?
I want Venom!
[people screaming]
-[gasps]
-[both gasping]
-[both grunt]
-Carnage, no!
This isn't their fight!
You're right, lead-brain.
It's ours. So tell us where
our other half is,
and they won't be punished.
[thinking] Let's see.
I'm trying to save
one of my biggest enemies,
another enemy is about to do
a major overhaul on my anatomy,
innocent people
are counting on me,
and my sonics are kaput.
Oh, I'd definitely say
things can't get any worse.
-[horn blaring]
-Me and my big mouth.
[horn blaring]
Carnage, you're right.
I know where Venom is.
Then tell us,
or we will take great pleasure
in digging for the truth.
-[Spider-Man] Let them go first.
-[grunting]
Tell us, spider scum.
[Spider-Man] Let's put it
this way.
He's not over there.
Buh-bye, Carny.
Don't forget to write.
Halt!
Turnstile violation.
Proper fare required.
[Spider-Man] Now the tin cans
show up.
That's it, guys.
Patrol those streets.
Last time
Brock had his symbiote,
it was here in the alley.
[screaming]
[Spider-Man thinking] A piece of
Brock's symbiote.
That thing nearly cost me
my sanity the first time.
No way I'm getting near it.
It's so weak, like Brock.
That thing remembers me.
It's trying
to tell me something.
Okay, little guy.
Man, I just know
I'm gonna regret this.
Venom was lured
into the alley?
[screaming]
[grunting]
[screaming]
[Bestial] The thetasonic beam
separated the subject,
Dr. Brofski.
We're bringing in
the symbiote now.
[Spider-Man thinking] Brofski?
Naoko told me she studied
under a Dr. Brofski at ESU.
Couldn't survive any longer.
I've gotta hurry.
Not so fast.
Your system's
not ready for it.
My system will never be ready
for it.
-And I thought my luck
was bad before.
-[door opens]
[Shane]
Whoa! You're really big!
Are you a pro wrestler?
I thought we put you
back in bed, young man.
Aw, Mom, I can't sleep.
I keep dreaming about Dad
and wondering where he is.
Something happened
to your husband?
[Naoko] Ex-husband.
And something's
always happening to him.
Want to play my new
3D video wrestling game?
Uh, I've never done this
before.
Never done a Tek-Boy?
Where'd Peter find this guy,
Mom, in a cave?
-You're okay. It'll pass.
-[Eddie groaning]
You know, for a minute there,
I was starting to like
feeling human again.
[Dr. Brofski]
My thetasonic technology
is proving to be very capable,
Excellency.
Thetamatic waves are harmless
to humans and Beastials,
but intolerable to symbiotes.
[High Evolutionary]
The harm that befalls humans
is of no concern to me.
But I will do everything
in my power to protect you,
my creations.
I have cooperated
with the symbiotes out of need,
but I'm counting on you,
Doctor,
to give me the means
to destroy them.
[Spider-Man thinking]
I should've known
Mr. Evolutionary P. Poo-Bah
wouldn't share his planet.
The scourge of the symbiotes
will end, Creator.
I promise you.
You will be greatly rewarded,
Doctor, if you succeed.
But if you fail...
[Spider-Man thinking]
Brock's symbiote.
It's in there.
Prepare for Phase 2 testing.
We need a complete analysis
of the symbiote's DNA.
[grunts]
No. What are you doing?
Sorry, Doc, but your patient's
checking out.
[Dr. Brofski] Don't be a fool.
Interfering
with an alpha-level project
means DNA recycling.
[Spider-Man]
Well, you can't say
I'm not willing to do
my bit for the environment.
[thinking] Should've known
it was going too well.
[grunts]
Great. Not only
am I carting around
my worst nightmare,
it's leaking.
Hey, not on me.
[Machine Man] Bus 54,
you will land immediately.
[Spider-Man thinking]
The big guy
here is dying, too.
Looks like I don't have
a choice.
I'll be your life support.
Oh, this could be
an even bigger mistake
than telling Anna Watson
I didn't want to get
fixed up with Mary Jane.
Oh, yeah.
I'd forgotten how good
the symbiotic costume feels.
Just stay out of my brain
until I can get you
back to Brock.
[screaming]
Yes, we hear you.
A path no longer shielded.
You go where?
[sinister laughter]
I'm sorry, Eddie.
There's not much more I can do.
Sure there is, Mom.
There's gotta be.
You'll see, Eddie.
My mom's the best doctor
in the world.
-Shane.
-It's okay, Doc.
I'm sure he's right.
You've got the best
bedside manner I ever saw.
[doorbell rings]
Shane, can you go see
who that is?
It's not so bad.
After all this time,
at least I'll die a human.
-[shudders]
-[whack]
-Mom!
-Shane!
Mom!
Ah, just what
we were looking for.
Carnage, no!
Get away!
Get away?
You can't reject us, Eddie.
It's like rejecting yourself.
[gasping]
[Spider-Man thinking]
Good thing
I lost those Machine Men
with my shortcut
through the sewers.
Not exactly hygienic,
but effective.
[grunts]
Maybe not.
Surprise, surprise.
The guest of honor's
made it to the party.
No! I want to stay Eddie Brock,
whatever the price.
Are these the ones that
made you forget
the joy of the synoptic?
For that, they will pay.
No! No!
Leave them alone!
-[blow lands]
-[grunts]
[Machine Man]
Where is the laboratory
sample you stole?
Where is the symbiote?
Ugh! Where is your deodorant?
The whole neighborhood
knows where you've been.
Say goodbye to your playmates,
Eddie.
Carnage, no!
Okay, physician,
heal thyself.
Only one way to help them.
[grunts]
I'm sorry I didn't
get to know you better.
[roars]
Honey, you're home!
Leave them alone!
[growling]
This is a sight to warm
a man's heart.
Symbiotes.
Do not move.
You are in my custody.
[Spider-Man thinking]
Brock?
We know that weapon.
[laughing]
[Spider-Man]
It's finished.
I did what I said I would.
Eddie?
[scream]
There is no Eddie Brock!
Only Venom!
We have returned!
And we are angry.
[laughing]
It is the Age
of the Synoptic.
And you, Spider-Man,
are in our way.
My favorite parasites
together again.
Another comeback tour
we could all do without.
The synoptic
will swallow you up.
And spit you out
as part of us.
[Spider-Man thinking]
If my sonics worked,
I might have a chance.
But now...
Sorry to disappoint you guys,
but I'm not a team player.
Oh, great. This thing's
trigger's jammed.
No way I can get off
two beams in time.
[thinking] If I set it to
overload, maybe I'll get
a nice thetasonic boom.
[yells]
Where'd they go?
Whoa.
Spider-Man, do you know
what you did?
Uh, saved you?
Saved us?
You practically
destroyed the clinic.
You're no better
than those sicko symbiotes.
[Spider-Man thinking]
I know helping Brock
was the right thing,
no matter how it turned out.
So why do I feel
like such a failure?
Some things don't change.
No matter where I go
in the universe,
everybody hates Spider-Man.
[Dr. Brofski] So you see,
Your Excellency,
due to Spider-Man's
interference,
we lost the symbiote
before it could be
completely analyzed.
Spider-Man's interference
or your carelessness, Doctor?
Sir Ram shall mete out
your punishment.
I will deal with Spider-Man.
And I promise you,
no living creature would
ever wish such a fate.
[theme music playing]
[Spider-Man thinking]
Basement jazz.
Just the way I like it,
not too highly evolved.
[chuckles]
Makes me really miss those
arguments about rock and roll
I used to have with Aunt May.
I hope she's all right
and not too worried about me.
Yeah, that'll be the day
that Aunt May doesn't worry
about poor Peter.
Venom. Without Carnage?
Dumb without Dumber?
I thought those two
were tied together
at the symbiote.
Increase the harmonic game.
That should draw him
more quickly.
[Spider-Man thinking
in singsong voice] Oh, Venny,
come out, come out
wherever you--
[grunts]
We just love
running into old friends.
[thinking] Oh, man.
Forgot Venom doesn't
trigger my spider sense.
[grunts]
Gotta hit the old sonics.
[beeping]
So much for my secret weapon.
[Venom] You should enjoy this.
We know you always
thought of yourself
as a real swinger.
[Spider-Man thinking]
Be close, Spidey.
It could be worse.
You're okay
if he doesn't let go!
[grunting, yelling]
[grunts]
[theme music playing]
[grunting]
[Spider-Man thinking]
Can't do it. I-- I can't...
[grunts]
Gotta do it.
Come on, Spidey.
Find the strength.
How else are you
gonna get back to MJ?
[grunting]
He's in position. Now.
[screaming]
[grunts]
-[yelling]
-[thinking] My little human
wrecking ball act
trashed some of my suit's
circuitry and fried my sonics.
[Venom groaning]
[thinking] Venom. It sounds
like he's in pain.
Beasties in the basement
always spells one thing--
bad.

[gasping]
[Spider-Man thinking]
Good thing
I lost those Machine Men
with my shortcut
through the sewers.
Not exactly hygienic,
but effective.
[grunts]
Maybe not.
Surprise, surprise.
The guest of honor's
made it to the party.
No! I want to stay Eddie Brock,
whatever the price.
Are these the ones that
made you forget
the joy of the synoptic?
For that, they will pay.
No! No!
Leave them alone!
-[blow lands]
-[grunts]

Where is the laboratory
sample you stole?
Where is the symbiote?
Ugh! Where is your deodorant?

knows where you've been.
Say goodbye to your playmates,

Carnage, no!
Okay, physician,
heal thyself.
Only one way to help them.
[grunts]
I'm sorry I didn't
get to know you better.
[roars]
Honey, you're home!
Leave them alone!
[growling]
This is a sight to warm
a man's heart.
Symbiotes.
Do not move.
You are in my custody.
[Spider-Man thinking]
Brock?
We know that weapon.
[laughing]
[Spider-Man]
It's finished.
I did what I said I would.
Eddie?
[scream]
There is no Eddie Brock!
Only Venom!
We have returned!
And we are angry.
[laughing]
It is the Age
of the Synoptic.
And you, Spider-Man,
are in our way.
My favorite parasites
together again.
Another comeback tour
we could all do without.
The synoptic
will swallow you up.
And spit you out
as part of us.
[Spider-Man thinking]
If my sonics worked,
I might have a chance.
But now...
Sorry to disappoint you guys,
but I'm not a team player.
Oh, great. This thing's
trigger's jammed.
No way I can get off
two beams in time.
[thinking] If I set it to
overload, maybe I'll get
a nice thetasonic boom.
[yells]
Where'd they go?
Whoa.
Spider-Man, do you know
what you did?
Uh, saved you?
Saved us?
You practically
destroyed the clinic.
You're no better
than those sicko symbiotes.
[Spider-Man thinking]
I know helping Brock
was the right thing,
no matter how it turned out.
So why do I feel
like such a failure?
Some things don't change.
No matter where I go
in the universe,
everybody hates Spider-Man.
[Dr. Brofski] So you see,
Your Excellency,
due to Spider-Man's
interference,
we lost the symbiote
before it could be
completely analyzed.
Spider-Man's interference
or your carelessness, Doctor?
Sir Ram shall mete out
your punishment.
I will deal with Spider-Man.
And I promise you,
no living creature would
ever wish such a fate.
