Incredibles 2

Rick Dicker:
If you wanna get out of the hole, first you gotta put down the shovel.

Screenslaver:
The Screenslaver interrupts this program for an important announcement. Don't bother watching the rest. Elastigirl doesn't save the day; she only postpones her defeat. And while she postpones her defeat, you eat chips and watch her invert problems that you are too lazy to deal with. Superheroes are part of a brainless desire to replace true experience with simulation. You don't talk, you watch talk shows. You don't play games, you watch game shows. Travel, relationships, risk; every meaningful experience must be packaged and delivered to you to watch at a distance so that you can remain ever-sheltered, ever-passive, ever-ravenous consumers who can't free themselves to rise from their couches, break a sweat, never anticipate new life. You want superheroes to protect you, and make yourselves ever more powerless in the process. Well, you tell yourselves you're being "looked after". That you're inches from being served and your rights are being upheld. So that the system can keep stealing from you, smiling at you all the while. Go ahead, send your supers to stop me. Grab your snacks, watch your screens, and see what happens. You are no longer in control. I am.

[A light turns on and Rick sits down and straightens some papers]

Rick:
File 82-712. Agent Rick Dicker interrogating. State your name please.

Tony:
Uh, Tony. Tony Rydinger.

Rick:
Tell me about the incident.

Tony:
Well, there's this girl. In my class. I saw her at the track meet. I sort of knew her but she changed. Relaxed. She was more sure of herself. Cool. Cute. I asked her out to a movie. And I went to watch the track meet. Not long after, this thing happened in the parking lot. As if things weren't weird enough I'd look over and I see these… boots. They looked like superheroes! I see my chance to get out of there. But there's something familiar about one of the kids' voices. The girl, she's upset, she throws down her mask, and it's her! It was just getting too freaky. I couldn't handle it and ran off. I feel kind of bad about it. Maybe I should have said, "Hi" or something? It's not her fault superheroes are illegal. [While he says this, Dicker gets up from his chair] And it's not like I don’t like strong girls. I'm pretty secure. Manhood wise. [looks up at strange device] What is that?

Rick:
Have you told anyone else about this? Your parents?

Tony:
No, they'd think I was hiding something. You know what I mean?

Rick:
Sure, kid.

Tony:
I like this girl, Mr. Dicker. I'm supposed to go out with her Friday night, now things are just gonna be weird. I wish I could forget I ever saw her in that suit.

Rick:
You will, kid. [a suction-cup from the device suddenly attaches itself to Tony's head, wiping his memory] You will.

[Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl and Frozone sitting on a couch inside a screening room. Winston Deavor standing before them]

Winston:
Let me ask you something. What is the main reason you were all forced underground?

Bob:
Ignorance.

Winston:
Perception. [Walks to the screen as it shows several footages] Take today, for example, with the Underminer. Difficult situation, you were faced with a lot of hard decisions.

Bob:
Ugh, tell me about it.

Winston:
I can't. Because I didn't see it. Neither did anyone else, so when you fight bad guys, like today, people don't see the fight or what led up to it. They see what politicians tell them to see. They see destruction, and they see you. So if we want to change people's perceptions about superheroes, we need you to share your perceptions with the world.

Helen:
How do we do that?

Evelyn:
With cameras.

[She clicks a button on her remote and footage of Winston appears on the screen in several images from different angles]

Winston:
[from the footage] We need you to share your perceptions with the world.

Helen:
[from the footage] How do we do that?

Evelyn:
We embed tiny cameras, like those, into your supersuits.

[Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl, and Frozone looks at the mini-camera on their access card as they appear on the screen].

Helen:
[impressed] Wow! So small, and the picture is outstanding!

Evelyn:
Thanks. Designed 'em myself.

Winston:
We've got resources, lobbyists, world wide connections, and, very important, insurance.

Bob:
Insurance is key.

Winston:
All we need now are the superest superheros. It means you three. Come on! Help me make all Supers legal again!

Bob:
[stands up with excitement] This sounds GREAT! Let's get this goin'! What's my first assignment?

Winston:
[sits down Mr. Incredible, gently] That enthusiasm is golden. Hold on to it, but to our first move, well... [turns to Helen] Elastigirl is our best play.

Bob:
[surprised] Better than me? [Helen clears her throat, glaring at her husband with a strict look] I mean, she's good. She's, uh... really a credit to her, but uh... you know? You know?

Winston:
With great respect, let's not test the whole "insurance will pay for everything" idea on the first go-round, okay?

[Elastigirl and Frozone chuckle softly].

Bob:
W-wait a minute! You're saying what? I'm... messy?

Winston:
[hands Bob a dossier] Well, Evelyn did a cost-benefit analysis, comparing all your last five years crime-fighting before going underground. Elastigirl's numbers are self-explanatory.

Bob:
Well, it's not a fair comparison. "Heavyweight problems need heavyweight solutions".

Winston:
Of course, we're gonna solve all kind of problems together, after the perfect launch with Elastigirl!

Evelyn:
So, what do you say?

Helen:
What do I say? [chuckles nervously] I... don't know.

[Bob is laying on the bed in a motel room, wearing pajamas]

Bob:
[to Helen] What do you mean you "don't know"? A few hours ago, you were saying it was over and being a superhero was a fantasy. Now you get the offer of a lifetime and you don't know?

Helen:
[in the bathroom, while brushing her teeth] It's not that simple, Bob. I wanna protect the kids.

Bob:
So do I.

Helen:
From jail, Bob!

Bob:
And how do you do that? By turning down a chance to change the law that forced them to hide what they are?

Helen:
[walks to the bed and lays down] They haven't decided what they are. They're still kids.

Bob:
Kids with powers, which makes them Supers. Whether they decide to use those powers or not, this will benefit them.

Helen:
Look, it's not a good time to be away. Dash is having trouble with homework. Vi's worried about her first date with that boy she likes, Tony. And Jack-Jack...

Bob:
Jack-Jack? What's wrong with him?

Helen:
Okay, nothing's wrong with Jack-Jack. But even a normal baby needs a lot of attention. I'm just not sure I can leave.

Bob:
Of course, you can leave. You've got to, so that I — we can be Supers again. So our kids can have that choice.

Helen:
[chuckles] So you can have that choice?

Bob:
[angrily] All right, yes! So I can have that choice, and I would do a GREAT JOB! Regardless of what Deavor's pie charts say! [Sighs] But they want you. [With a deep breath] And you'll do... a great... job. Too.

Helen:
[sarcastically] That was excruciating to watch. [Bob chuckles] I can't lie to you. It's nice to be wanted. Flattering, you know? But...

Bob:
What's the choice? One: do this right, get well paid, we're out of the motel, and things get better for all Supers, including our kids. Or two: I find a job in two weeks or we're homeless.

Helen:
[sighs] You know it's crazy, right? To help my family, I gotta leave it. To fix the law, I gotta break it.

Bob:
You'll be great.

Helen:
I know I will. But what about you? We have kids.

Bob:
I'll watch the kids, no problem. Easy.

Helen:
Easy, huh? You're adorable. Well, if there is a problem, I'll drop this thing and come right back.

Bob:
You won't need to. I've got it. You go, do this thing! [Lays down] Do it so... [Under his breath] I can do it better. [Helen hits his face with a pillow]

[In Winston Deavor's office the phone is ringing. He picks it up].

Winston:
Deavor here.

Helen:
This is Elastigirl. I'm in.

[Helen, in a new super suit, and Bob step into the garage. Bob is holding Jack-Jack. They see a red motorcycle].

Helen:
Wow! A new Elasticycle!

Bob:
"Elasticycle"? I didn't know you had a bike.

Helen:
Hey, I had a mohawk. There's a lot about me you don't know.

Bob:
Yeah, but-- A mohawk?

Helen:
Ah, you didn't miss anything. [Sits on the bike and turns it on] Oh, yeah! This one's electric!

Bob:
What's that mean?

Helen:
[starts to circle around the garage with the bike and bumping into the wall] Means it's... torque-y. I'll get the hang of it.

Bob:
You will be great.

Helen:
I will be great. And you will too.

Bob:
We will both be great. [opens the door]

Helen:
[as she rides away] Bye, sweetie!

Helen:
You know, after we went underground, my husband used to listen to a police scanner…waiting for something to happen. And I got mad at him for it.

Dash:
[as Bob helps him with his math] That's... not the way you're supposed to do it, Dad. [turns his book around] They want us to do it this...

Bob:
I don't know that way! Why would they change math?

Dash:
[as Bob talks over him] I think it's okay, Dad...

Bob:
Math is math. [sternly] Math is math.

[As Jack-Jack rages in Edna's room]

Bob:
"Combustion imminent"? What does that mean?

[Jack-Jack explodes in flames]

Edna:
It means "fire", Robert.

[Helen wakes up in a subzero computer room, strapped to a chair. She's trying to remove the hypno-goggles from her face but she is tied up to a chair and unable to use her power, due to the temperature].

Evelyn:
[outside from a glass wall] I would resist the temptation to stretch. The temperature around you is well below freezing. Try to stretch and you'll break.

Helen:
So, you're the Screenslaver.

Evelyn:
Yes... and no. Let's say that I created the character and pre-recorded the messages.

Helen:
Does Winston know?

Evelyn:
[laughs] That I'm the Screenslaver? Of course not. Can you imagine what Mr. Free Enterprise would do with my hypnotic technology?

Helen:
Worse than what you're doing?

Evelyn:
Hey, I'm using the technology to destroy people's trust in it. Like I'm using superheroes.

Helen:
Who did I put in jail?

Evelyn:
Pizza delivery guy. Seemed the right height and build. He gave you a pretty good fight. I should say, I gave you a good fight through him.

Helen:
But it doesn't bother you that an innocent man's in jail?!

Evelyn:
Eh, he was surly, and the pizza was cold.

Helen:
I counted on you.

Evelyn:
[chuckles] That's why you failed.

Helen:
What?

Evelyn:
Why would you count on me? Because I built you a bike? Because my brother knows the words of your theme song? We don't know each other!

Helen:
But you can count on me anyway!

Evelyn:
I'm supposed to, aren't I? Because you have some strange abilities and a shiny costume, the rest of us are supposed to put our lives into your gloved hands. That's what my father believed. When our home was broken into, my mother wanted to hide. Begged my father to use the safe room, but Father insisted they call his superhero friends. He died — pointlessly, stupidly — waiting for heroes to save the day.

Helen:
But why would you...? Your brother...

Evelyn:
[furiously]...is a child! He remembers the time when we had parents and superheroes! So, like a child, Winston conflates the two. Mommy and Daddy went away because Supers went away. Our sweet parents were fools to put their lives in anybody else's hands! Superheroes keep us weak!

Helen:
Are you gonna kill me?

Evelyn:
Nah. [smiles smugly] Using you is better. You're going to help me make Supers illegal forever.

[with a remote control, she turns on the hypno-goggles and puts Helen under her control]

Bob:
[on the phone] Lucius, Bob. Helen's in trouble. I need someone to watch the kids. Suit up! It might get weird.

Lucius:
I'll be there, ASAP.

Honey:
[from off-screen] Where are you going "ASAP"?! You better be back "ASAP", and leaving that suit!

[The supers saved the city from being crashed by the ship and Evelyn is arrested for her crimes]

Evelyn:
The fact that you saved me doesn't make you right. [the police officer puts her in the car]

Helen:
But it does make you alive.

Winston:
And I'm grateful for that.

Helen:
I'm sorry, but she'll go to prison.

Violet:
Well, I'm sorry she's rich and will probably get no more than a slap on the wrist.

Winston:
First of all, Violet, I like you. And who knows what the future will bring, but I have a good feeling about all of you.

Lucius:
Hmm, "good feeling". Should we be worried? [Bob chuckles]

Helen:
You guys get the next shift. I'm beat. [picks up Jack-Jack and walks off]

Dash:
We did it!

Officer:
FREEZE, SUPERS!

Mr. Incredible/Bob:
Oh, what did we do?

Reporter:
[on live TV] Superheroes including Frozone, Mr. Incredible, and Elastigirl caused further damage to the city. The Underminer remains at large.

[Two detectives are interrogating Bob and Helen in the interrogation room]

Mr. Incredible/Bob:
We didn't start this fight.

Detective 1:
Well you didn't finish it either!

Detective 2:
Did you stop the Underminer from inflicting more damage?

Mr. Incredible/Bob:
No.

Detective 2:
Did you stop him from robbing the banks?

Mr. Incredible/Bob:
No.

Detective 2:
Did you catch him?!

Mr. Incredible/Bob:
NO.

Detective 1:
The banks were insured. We have infrastructure in place to deal with these matters. If you had simply done nothing, everything would now be proceeding in an orderly fashion.

Mr. Incredible/Bob:
You'd have preferred we do nothing?!

Detective 2:
Without a doubt.

[The two detectives leave the room; Rick Dicker is sitting in a corner in the shadows]

Mr. Incredible/Bob:
[to Dicker] You weren't much help.

Rick:
[gets up] You want out of the hole? First you gotta put down the shovel. [leaves the room, closing the door behind him]

Rick:
Bob, Helen, a word if you don't mind. Uh, the program's been shut down.

Bob:
What?

Rick:
Politicians don't understand people who do good simply because it's right. It makes 'em nervous. They've been gunning for Supers for years. Today was all they needed. Anyway...I'm done. I'm afraid two more weeks in the motel is the best I can do for you. It ain't much.

Helen:
You've done plenty, Rick. [hugs him]

Bob:
We won't forget.

Rick:
Well, it has been a great honor working with you good people.

Bob:
Thanks for everything, and good luck.

Rick:
Yeah. You too.

Violet:
[shouting angrily] It was DICKER!! You told him about Tony!

Bob:
Honey, please...

Violet:
You had me erased from Tony's mind!!! [furiously storms upstairs to her room; Jack-Jack then spills his cereal and while Bob picks it up; goes behind him to the sink with her supersuit] I HATE superheroes, and I RENOUNCE THEM!!! [puts her supersuit in the sink and turns on the disposal, but the suit is still intact before taking it out] I RENOUNCE THEM-- AARGH!!! [throws the supersuit on the wall and she goes back upstairs into her room, panting lividly]

Dash:
Is she having adolescence?

[Violet furiously slams the door, offscreen]

Screenslaver:
[to Helen] Find anything?! [The Screenslaver turns on the cage lights that are able to hypnotize people, so Elastigirl has to fight him with her eyes closed. The Screenslaver turns on a taser and pins Elastigirl down on the table and tases her left arm, making it unusable for a bit. Elastigirl pulls the taser away and punches and throws stuff at the Screenslaver. He then tases her left leg. Elastigirl holds onto the wall and tries to hit the Screenslaver. The Screenslaver tases Elastigirl's right arm, making her fall off. Then he tases her body, and then her left arm again. Elastigirl was able to get the taser out of the Screenslaver's hands. Then the Screenslaver gets out of the cage. Elastigirl tackles him and bangs him into the shelves, with her eyes still closed not knowing she was out of the cage. The Screenslaver grabs an axe and swings it at Elastigirl. Elastigirl realized she was out of the cage and opened her eyes right before the Screenslaver swung the axe and dodged it. Elastigirl pins him on the floor and was about to punch him until he shines the light on her and then gets away. He also pushes a button to a bomb. Elastigirl follows him but can only limp because of the taser. The Screenslaver runs down the stairs with Elastigirl behind him, by now she was able to run normally. The Screenslaver turns on the fire alarm making everyone come out of the apartments. Elastigirl ends up bumping into someone.]

Helen:
Oh, sorry!

Pizza Guy:
[stammers] W-What happened.

Helen:
What happened is YOU destroyed my evidence!

Pizza Guy:
What's going on?! What did I do?! What did you guys do with me?!

Cop:
That's right, Punk. Blame your system.

[Dash runs to the front door, revealing the other supers, wearing hypno-goggles, standing at the doorway]

Voyd:
[hypnotized] Hello there, little fella.

Dash:
Hello.

Voyd:
[hypotized] You kids aren't safe. The Deavors sent us to take you…

Frozone/Lucius:
[showing up, making snowflakes] Well, isn't that redundant? The Deavors just sent me here to guard the house. 'Cause the kids aren't safe. I get it, managerial screw-up. Tell Winston I handled it. You understand, Ms…

Voyd:
[hypnotized] Voyd.

Frozone/Lucius:
Ms. Voyd. Drive safely.

[After the Parr kids escape in the Incredibile from the hypnotized Supers…]

Violet:
Incredibile, pull over. [The Incredibile automatically pulls over to a stop; sighs] We can't go to E's. [to Dash] You saw those goggles they put on Lucius. They were wearing them, too. They're all under someone's control. They've probably done the same to Mom.

Dash:
[puts Jack-Jack in the back seat] Okay. Bad guys after us. No Mom, no Dad. No Lucius. But we have our powers, this car, and… what?

Mr. Incredible/Bob:
[to Lucius] Why are the kids here?! You didn't go to the house?!

Frozone/Lucius:
I went to the house. [to the Parr kids] You didn't escape? How did you not escape?

Violet & Dash:
Hey! We just saved you!

Mr. Incredible/Bob:
Escape? Escape from who?

[Hypnotized Brick, Voyd, and He-Lectrix appear in the ship's bridge]

Frozone/Lucius:
Those guys!

Elastigirl/Helen:
[shocked as Jack-Jack morphs into his monster form] What the…?! Jack-Jack has powers?!

Mr. Incredible/Bob:
We know! Fight now, talk later!

[Evelyn walks into the conference room and takes her brother out of the hypnosis]

Evelyn:
Come with me, Winston. [takes her brother to the elevator]

Winston:
Did I faint?

Evelyn:
You'll be safe here.

Winston:
Safe? Safe from what? [the elevator takes them up to a plane connected to the ship] Where are the diplomats? Th-The supers?

Evelyn:
[accidentally revealing her true colors] Still hypnotized.

Winston:
[shocked] What have you done?!

[The Supers all turn around to see the plane about to take off]

Elastigirl/Helen:
Evelyn! She's escaping!

Mr. Incredible/Bob:
Well, go after her. Finish your mission.

Elastigirl/Helen:
I can't just go! What about the kids?! Jack-Jack, who's gonna...

Violet:
Mom! Go. We've got this.

Elastigirl/Helen:
[smiles; to Voyd] Voyd, come with me.

Bob/Mr. Incredible:
I'll go shut down the engine.

Frozone/Lucius:
I'll try to slow the ship from the bow.

Dash:
[realizing] Wait, someone's missing. Where's the crusher guy?

[Bob has knocked the hypno-goggles off of Krushauer, who has used his superpowers to crush metal pipes and block a door]

Mr. Incredible/Bob:
Hey! You did this, can you undo it?

Krushauer:
You want me to un-crush?

Mr. Incredible/Bob:
Why? No one's ever asked for that?

Krushauer:
No! Uncrush is silly! Why uncrush?

Mr. Incredible/Bob:
To get to the engine ro- oh forget it, we don't have enough time.

Krushauer:
What if I say to un-punch someone? What to do?

Judge:
And in recognition of the extraordinary service they have demonstrated, the legal status of superheroes is hereby restored. [bangs his gavel]

[Last lines; the Parrs have picked up Tony at his house and are all driving to a movie theater downtown]

Violet:
[after Tony gets into the car; gestures to Helen] Tony, this is my mom.

Helen:
Pleased to meet you.

Violet:
[gestures to Bob] This is my dad.

Bob:
Oh, we've met.

Violet:
[gestures to her brother; uncomfortably] And this is embarrassing.

Dash:
Charmed, I'm sure.

Violet:
My little brother, Dash. And the baby is Jack-Jack. I tried to limit to one parent.

Helen:
We're all going to a movie, too, Tony. Don't mind us.

Bob:
We'll be sitting on the other side of the theater. [from the rear-view mirror] Not watching you. [winks]

Violet:
[chuckles] He's kidding. [annoyed at her parents] They are only dropping us off at the theater. They have other things to do!

Tony:
So, you guys are close, I guess.

Violet:
Yeah, I guess.

Bob:
We can get closer.

Helen:
[laughing] Bob.

[The car stops in front of the movie theater and some criminals pass by, shooting guns at some police cars]

Violet:
STOP! LET US OUT! [pushes Tony out of the car, giving him some money] Here, large popcorn, small soda. Save me a seat, center, about eight rows back. [gets back in the car before it drives off] I'll be back before the previews are over!

Bob Parr/Mr. Incredible:
Well, that went poorly.

Bob Parr/Mr. Incredible:
[takes away the Sugar Bombs cereal box from Dash and pours some Fiber-O's cereal into Dash's bowl] No Sugar Bombs (allowed) on my watch.

Bob Parr/Mr. Incredible:
Hey… Hey! The bus is here!

Bob Parr/Mr. Incredible:
[to Jack-Jack] You…have… POWERS!

Bob Parr/Mr. Incredible:
They said it was... THAT'S MY CAR!

Bob Parr/Mr. Incredible:
[under Evelyn's control] Your bodies and your character are weak. Your promises are empty and you will pay for it.

Helen Parr/Elastigirl:
If laws are unjust, there are laws to change them! Otherwise it's chaos!

Helen Parr/Elastigirl:
Any thought we had about being Supers again is fantasy. One of us has gotta get a job. (Bob: One of us?) You did a long stint at Insuricare. (Bob: Hated every minute of it.) I know it was hard on you. Maybe it's my turn in the private sector and you take care of the kids… (Bob: No, I'm doing this. I need to do this.)

Helen Parr/Elastigirl:
I'm not all dark and angsty. I'm Elastigirl! I'm, you know, flexible. (Bob: E designed this?) No, some guy named Alexander Galbaki.

Helen Parr/Elastigirl:
I SAVED A RUNAWAY TRAIN!

Helen Parr/Elastigirl:
[under Evelyn's control] Years of mandated hiding and silence have made us bitter. You bring us out into the light, only to clean up the messes your lack of discipline creates.

Helen Parr/Elastigirl:
[shocked as she witnesses Jack-Jack morphing into his monster form] What the…?! Jack-Jack has powers?!

Lucius Best/Frozone:
No lifeguard on duty. Swim at your own risk.

Lucius Best/Frozone:
[under Evelyn's control] We no longer serve you, we serve only us. May the fittest survive.

Violet Parr:
You're not sticking me with babysitting!

Violet Parr:
Boys are jerks and superheroes suck.

Violet Parr:
[furious at Bob after finding out that Rick Dicker erased her from Tony's memory] It was DICKER! You told him about Tony! YOU HAD ME ERASED FROM TONY'S MIND!

Violet Parr:
I HATE superheroes! And I renounce them!

Violet Parr:
If we break off one of the foils and turn the rudder, we can veer the ship away from the city!

Dash (Dashiell Robert) Parr:
It defines who I am. (Bob: We're not saying you have… What?) Someone on TV said it.

Dash (Dashiell Robert) Parr:
I LIKE MOM'S NEW JOB!

Dash (Dashiell Robert) Parr:
[as Violet furiously throws a tantrum after founding out that Dicker erased her from Tony's mind] Is she having adolescence?

Dash (Dashiell Robert) Parr:
You used to drive that?

Dash (Dashiell Robert) Parr:
Oh, I wish the Incredibile could follow that boat.

Dash (Dashiell Robert) Parr:
Wow, this car does everything I say.

Dash (Dashiell Robert) Parr:
Hey, what if the Incredibile has ejector seats?

Dash (Dashiell Robert) Parr:
Yeah, baby! My sweet ride!

Edna Mode:
Your child is a polymorph. Like all babies, he has enormous potential. It is not unknown for supers to have more than one power when young…but this little one has many.
