Quote #4

NORMAN: I haven't always been there for you, have I?

HARRY: You're busy. You're an important man. I understand.

NORMAN: That's no excuse. I'm proud of you, and I've lost sight of that somewhere, but I gotta make it up to you, Harry. I'm going to rectify certain inequities.

Remember how we said earlier that parents make sacrifices because they love their kids? Yeah, well, ol' Norm here hasn't been the most loving parent. He constantly puts Oscorp before Harry. Harry can catch a ride to school in his dad's Rolls-Royce, for instance, but he's probably never gone out in the yard and played catch with his dad.

Quote #5

AUNT MAY: You do too much. College, a job, all this time with me. You're not Superman, you know.

Oh, Aunt May. If only you knew.

Quote #6

GREEN GOBLIN: You've spun your last web, Spider-Man. Had you not been so selfish, your little girlfriend's death would've been quick and painless, but now that you've really pissed me off, I'm gonna finish her nice and slow. M.J. and I, we're gonna have a hell of a time.

The Green Goblin is calling Spider-Man selfish here because Spider-Man turned down his offer to team up and, well, we're not sure what they'd have done together. Cause chaos and destruction, most likely. Norman feels like he sacrificed everything for the good of Oscorp, so when the board forces him out, the Green Goblin is born of his bitterness, loneliness, and desperation for revenge.
