Line 6:
Morning finds Peter Parker lying in bed in his Spider-Man costume, with the covers down. Aunt May's entry awakens Peter who barely manages to conceal his costume. Aunt May informs Peter that she'll be at Anna Watson's house and that breakfast is waiting downstairs. Peter learns that breakfast is waffles, but notices that Aunt May has been holding off on paying the bills. Aunt May returns and tells Peter that she's met Anna's niece Mary Jane. When May reveals that this "lovely girl" has a "wonderful personality," Peter shudders and blows off the opportunity to meet Ms. Watson by explaining to Aunt May that he has help Harry Osborn study.
While webslinging to the Osborn's apartment, Peter tries to patch things up with Eddie over the Lizard fiasco, unaware that he's being watched. Eddie says that he'll get over it, but that Peter should keep his distance for the time being. Peter arrives at the apartment and runs into Norman as he exits the elevator. Norman once again lavishes praise on Peter, making things awkward for Harry. Peter checks his email on Harry's computer and discovers an e-vite to the Midtown High Fall Formal. Harry points out that neither have dates. Peter jokes that he could always ask Mary Jane, Harry reveals he was going to ask Gwen, but they're both distracted when Peter finds an email from J. Jonah Jameson telling him that he can pick up the money he's owed for his pictures of Spider-Man and the Lizard.
Upon arriving at the Bugle however, Jameson throws Peter out again, not realizing that he's the one he's waiting for. His secretary Betty Brant points out the mistake, and Jameson has her bring Parker back in. Jameson tells Peter that he wants more pictures in two hours, and then barks for him to get out when Peter stammers that he'll try.
Line 34:
* [[Cake Eater]]: Betty points out that she's too old for Peter.
* [[Career Killers]]: Spider-Man expresses amusement that Shocker is a hitman considering how ridiculous he looks and sounds.
* [[Composite Character]]: Montana and Shocker are two completely different people in the comics: Montana is of course a member of the enforcers while Shocker is a money-focused thug named Herman Schultz.
* [[Deadly Dodging]]: How Spider-Man takes Shocker out in the end.
* [[Not Now, Kiddo]]: Montana chides O'Hirn this way.
* [[Quit Your Whining]]: Norman's actually pretty justified in giving Harry this.
* [[Reports of My Death Were Greatly Exaggerated]]: Quoted by Spidey.
* [[Stuffed Into the Fridge]]: Parodied brilliantly, as a fridge ''saves'' Spider-Man.
* [["Wake-Up Call" Boss]]: Shocker is the first villain to actually beat Spider-Man in a fight, causing Spidey to truly have to use his brains to beat him in their second fight.
