Quotes
(Spider-Man theme is playing at the beginning of the episode, New York City is seen from high. Suddenly a desperate voice is calling for help. Camera zooms to the city streets and shows an old woman trying to held her purse from two thieves.)

Old Woman: Help! Help! Two thieves are taking my purse!

(A 2004 Sam Raimi Spider-Man web swings)

Spider-Man: Oh, duty calls. (He swings on his spider web from a skyscraper to the street) Don't worry, madam! Spider-Man is here to save you!

Spider-Man: Being a superhero is not as easy as you might think. You gotta have fight evil almost everyday, but first, you gotta have powers, costume and nickname.

Pterano: Well, my power is flying and I can fight in the air.

Spider-Man: Powers, checked. Now the rest of it is nickname and costume.

Pterano: (walks back and forth.) How about Fabulous Fearsome Flyer?

Spider-Man: (shakes his head.) Too long.

Pterano: Umm...Very Important Creature?

Spider-Man: (shakes his head again.) Too big-headed.

Pterano: Scary Death?

Spider-Man: (almost screams out loud.) No way! It is too scary for a superhero. It fits a supervillain.

Pterano: (jumps high.) I got it! Super-Flyer!

Spider-Man: Sounds great. Nickname, checked. And the last thing you need is costume to cover your secret identity.

Pterano: But where am I supposed to get it?

(Mary Jane Watson shows up in front of surprised Spidey and Pterano.)

Mary Jane Watson: Hi guys, what are talking about?

Spider-Man: We were talking about superhero stuff. You see, Pterano wants to be a superhero too. We already checked powers and nickname, he calls himself Super-Flyer, but our dilemma is perfect suit for him.

Mary Jane Watson: Maybe I could sew a great suit for Mr. Pterano.

Spider-Man: Thank you, Mary. You are a genius. Without you, I would be stucked in my thoughts of the suit.

Mary Jane Watson: (gives Pterano a finished suit.) Here you are, Pterano.

Pterano: (admires the costume.) Thanks. It´s awesome.

Mary Jane Watson: I´m glad you like it. I´ve spent a lot of hours sewing it. Just try it on.

Pterano: Alright, but you have to close your eyes and keep them shut until I tell you to open them.

Mary Jane Watson: Fine. Go on. (closes her eyes and tries to think of something funny. The Flyer starts to put the suit on. After few minutes, he whistles at her.)

Pterano: You can look. (Mary opens her eyes and sees him in the suit with a mask on.)

Mary Jane Watson: Cool. Now you can fly and fight the crime.

(Meanwhile Rocky, Garfield and the Gang walk in the streets and whistle a happy song. Suddenly on the sky appears something what resembles a plane. Everybody head up and see the strange thing. Rocky quickly takes a photo of it before it disappears.)

Rocky: Let's see what I took. (He zooms the photo in his mobile closer and gasps)

Garfield: What is it?

Rocky: You won't believe it.

Littlefoot: Please tell us.

Rocky: OK, I took a photo of a superhero.

Cera: Who? Spider-Man?

Rocky: No. Somebody different. I've never seen this hero before.

Garfield: Show us your picture, please.

(Rocky shows the picture to Garfield and the Gang. Their jaws almost drop. This superhero was a Flyer.)

Petrie: He look cool. Me must say Uncle Pterano about him.

Ducky: He sure will like it. Yep, yep, yep.

Chomper: Interesting, VERY interesting.

Ruby: [Sighs Dreamily] I think he's handsome. I'd like to know who he is.

Spike: Shall we get something to eat? I'm so hungry.

Everybody: [Laughs Out Loud]

Super-Flyer: Alright, Spider-Man. You ready?

Spider-Man: I am!

Petrie: Good luck. [Sniffles]

Guido: (wipes a tear away) Be carefull, please.

Super-Flyer: Let's do this!

Spider-Man: Yes, my colleague!

Guido: (about to cry) I hope you won't get hurt.

(Spider-Man and Super-Flyer jumps from the rooftop and start swinging on web and flying. Petrie and Guido hug together and starts crying hysterically, tears pouring out from their eyes. Etta watches the two as tears welded her eyes and sniffles and wipes the tears from her left eye.)

Guido: [Hyperventilating] I can't believe it. [Sobs]

Petrie: [Wailing] Me no believe either.

Guido: [Crying] There are two heroes now.

Petrie: [Sobs] Me know! (hugs Guido tighter)

Guido & Petrie: [Sobbing]

Etta: Come here, little ones.

(At the Daily Bugle...)

Robbie Robertson: Jameson! We got a new hero!

J. Jonah Jameson: That's impossible! We already have one and he is Spider-Man.

Peter Parker: You have to believe me! I saw him gliding above the city!

Wild Arms: Me too! He was cool.

Loofah: I won't believe until I'll see him.

Betty Brant: (sounds the buzzer) Chief, time to take your pill.

J. Jonah Jameson: Thank you.

Ted Hoffman: Do you have any proofs about him, Mr. Parker?

Robbie Robertson: Of course he has. Right, Mr. Parker?

Peter Parker: Alright, Mr. Jameson.

(Peter Parker shows a picture to J. Jonah Jameson of Super-Flyer and Spider-Man)

J. Jonah Jameson: (wideyed) Another masked man?!

Robbie Robertson: (proudly) That's the hero I was talking about.

Ted Hoffman: Hmm, he looks like a pterosaur from Cretaceous.

Loofah: (thinks) That's because he is a Flyer, or pterosaur in your terms. (out loud) Now I believe Mr. Parker here. Now your city has two superheroes.

Wild Arms: (points to the window) He is right as you can see.

(All employees including J. Jonah Jameson rush to the window and see Super-Flyer flying around)

Super-Flyer: (shouts) Super-Flyer!

J. Jonah Jameson: (thinks) Holy crab balls! Spider-Man has a new partner, now it will be hard to bear two heroes. (out loud) What an awesome hero, you were right, Mr. Parker. Forgive me for not believing you earlier.

Peter Parker: Never mind, Mr. Jameson. I'm sure he'll get a lot of fans quickly like Spider-Man.

J. Jonah Jameson: [Chuckles] NOW GET YOUR BUTT OUT THERE AND GET SOME PHOTOS! NOOOWW!!!

Peter Parker: Uh, Mr. Jameson, my butt is already out here!

J. Jonah Jameson: (bangs head on desk) Darn it!

(Wild Arms and Loofah burst out laughing.)
