Your Uncle Ben, he and I. Who else was going to care for you and protect you and worries about you? Your father¡? No. I was the one who wiped your nose and made you brush your teeht and do your homework and washed your dirty underwear. Me!

  [Peter has tears in his eyes] 

  Aunt May : Your stupid nonscientific aunt, who doesn't know how to makes end meets who has to take nursing classes, with 22 year old kids, so I can pay for you to go to college and I don't know how to do this without Ben. I don't know how and you're dreaming about your perfect father who was never been here? No! No, I won't tell you. You're my boy. As far as I'm concerned you're my boy. And I won't hurt you.

  Peter Parker : [Peter has tears in his eyes and goes to comfort his Aunt May]  I'm your boy. You're my everything. You're enough. You're more than enough. That's not what this about it. Don't get that twisted. I love you so much.

  Aunt May : I Know.

  Peter Parker : It's okay, It's okay. Aunt May. I need to know

  Aunt May : Alright. I'll tell you everything I know. But it will hut you.

  Peter Parker : Okay.

  Aunt May : A few days after the funeral. Two men from the government came to see us.

  [the flashback is shown where two men from the government came to May and Ben's house and enter to their house and talk with May and they show a file with Richard Parker photo] 

  Aunt May : They said the genetic research that your father was doing with Norman Osborn was very valuable and that people would pay a lot for it and that's why he ran off with it. They said he was a traitor. I couldn't believe it, Peter. They told us he betrayed his best friend, all of us for the money.

  Peter Parker : I don't... I don't get it. No... this doesn't make sense

  Aunt May : Yes I know. I didn't believe it either. I didn't believe it

  Peter Parker : This doesn't make sense...

  Aunt May : Peter... I don't know,. For so long, I would play it over and over in my head what had I missed, what had I missed. He was just a normal unassuming guy. He wore the same ratty lab coat for 20 years. He took the D train to work, at seven every morning came home at six every night. I don't know. Maybe everyone has a part of himself they hide even from the people they love. Peter?

  [Peter looks at the wall] 

  Aunt May : Peter?
