Spengo la TV e la farfalla appesa cade giù

Peter: Hey, do you remember when–
Mary Jane: Shhh.
P: How about the time–
MJ: Peter.
I remember all of it. Every little detail. And no matter what that monster does, nothing will take that away from me.
P: MJ, what are you saying?
Are we really going to–
MJ: Oh, God, Peter! Oh God–
*BONG*
P: Tell me exactly.
How does this work?
Mephisto: You shouldn’t worry yourself over such details, Mister Parker. But since you asked, with your consent, it really is quite simple.
You two will no longer be married. Because you two will never have been married.
It simply never happened.
P: What? Just like that– a lifetime erased?
M: Not a lifetime, no. Your marriage is but a stitch in time…
…that I will simply, painlessly… remove.
All else will remain the same.
P: I don’t understand.
M: You don’t need to. All you need to understand is that your aunt will live.
*BONG*
M: Did you hear that? That’s the sound of your aunt dying, time is nearly up!
MJ: You do realize that none of this, not a stitch of this resolves anything!
So you save May, then what?
She was shot because he made his identity public, the world knows he’s Spider-Man. What’s to stop some other lunatic from shooting her again?
M: Let me explain something to you, Mrs. Parker.
Have you thought for a second to ask yourself why? Why I chose you two out of all people?
It’s because yours is the rarest love of all.
Pure. Undonditional and made holy in the eyes of He who I hate most.
A love like yours comes about but once in a millennia and to take that away from Him…
…to deny Him…
…is a victory like none other imaginable.
P: MJ, I don’t know–
M: So if that’s all il takes, consider his identity forgotten.
*BONG*
MJ: The answer is yes, you monster!
P: MJ, wait!
[...]
MJ: Just a few seconds more… Listen to me, Peter. Listen to me.
I know, in my heart of hearts, that you and I were always meant to be together. Whatever he throws at us, whatever he does, whatever he undoes, it doesn’t matter.
Because whatever he does to pull us apart would have to be bigger and stronger than what brought us together and kept us together. No matter what happened.
And there’s no power in the universe big enough for a job like that. Not the devil, not God, not anybody.
We’ll find each other again, I know we will. And I’m always right about these things, right?
P: Right. I love you, Mary Jane Parker.
MJ: And I love you, Peter Parker.
