Quote #7
GREEN GOBLIN: This is why only fools are heroes. Because you never know when some lunatic will come along with a sadistic choice: let die the woman you love, or suffer the little children.
Well, at least he's acknowledging he's a sadistic lunatic. He may be evil, but at least he's self-aware. Maybe there's hope for him—yeah, probably not.
Quote #8
GREEN GOBLIN: Make your choice, Spider-Man, and see how a hero is rewarded.
This statement suggests that the Green Goblin once viewed himself as a hero, perhaps of science, business, or maybe both. Everybody is the hero of their own story, we guess.
Quote #9
NEW YORKER #1: Leave Spider-Man alone! You're gonna pick on a guy trying to save a bunch of kids?
NEW YORKER #2: Come on up here, tough guy! I got a little something for ya! You mess with Spidey, you mess with New York!
NEW YORKER #1: You mess with one of us, you mess with all of us!
Finally, the public is #TeamSpidey. All it took was the Green Goblin threatening to murder a bunch of kids and some redheaded woman, and destroying the historic Roosevelt Island Tramway.
