Henry Jackson:  Hi , Peter !
Peter Parker: Hey , Henry ! You 've grown tall .
May Parker: You 'll never guess who he wants to be ... Spider - Man !
Peter Parker: Why ?
May Parker: He knows a hero when he sees _ one _ . Too few characters out there , flying around like that , saving old girls like me . And Lord knows , kids like Henry need a hero . Courageous , self - sacrificing people . Setting examples for all of us . Everybody loves a hero . People line up for them , cheer them , scream their names . And years later , they 'll tell how they stood in the rain for hours just to get a glimpse of the one who taught them how to hold on a second longer . I believe there 's a hero in all of us , that keeps us honest , gives us strength , makes us noble , and finally allows us to die with pride , even though sometimes we have to be steady , and give up the thing we want the most . Even our dreams .
