Here's a silk dispenser too. Do whatever you want with it... catch prey, fly around in the air currents whatever the fuck. Just don't tell the boss i hooked you up

You want spider-man powers? Fine, here you go. Lets call you a... well you're not a man... OK lets call you spider.

If you say "Here's your large number of things", I can forgive the error, but if you spell out "Here is your large number of things" instead of "Here are..." I shake my head.
