[Gru turns on the TV which shows Mr. Perkins]
Gru:
Sorry to bother you Mr. Perkins, but I figured that you would want to see this! [shows the shrink ray] Huh? [Jerry manages to get off the couch, but Kevin, who is still sitting on it, is shrunk]
Mr. Perkins:
Well done, Gru. Rather impressive.
Gru:
Now, the rest of the plan is simple. [shows a picture] I fly to the moon... [shows another picture] ...I shrink the moon... [shows another picture] ...I grab the moon... [shows a poorly drawn picture, signed by Edith] I sit on the toilet... Wait, what?! [the girls laugh; nervous] Sorry. Sorry! Could you, uh... excuse me for just one second? [to the girls; whisper-yells] I told you not to touch my things, I told you, I told you, I told you a thousand times!
Margo:
[not paying attention] Uh-huh. Hey, can we order pizza?
Edith:
All right then.
Gru:
[picks up Agnes and puts her back] Pizza? You just had lunch!
Edith:
Not now, for dinner.
Gru:
Dinner?! Just fine, fine, fine, whatever! Just get back in there.
Margo:
Oh, uh, can we get stuffed crust?
[Gru suddenly stops with an irate look on his face]
Edith, Agnes, Stuart and Jerry:
Ooh, stuffed crust!
Gru:
I'll stuff you all in the crust!
Agnes:
[giggles] You're funny!
Gru:
Just don't come out of that room again! [closes the door; to Mr. Perkins] Alright. Sorry about that. Where were we?
Mr. Perkins:
You were sitting on the toilet.
Gru:
No, no, no. I'm sorry. That was a little attempt to humor. I know how much you like to laugh... [Mr. Perkins looks at him angrily] ...inside. Now I was saying... [notices the door was open]
Mr. Perkins:
You don't seem terribly focused, Gru.
Gru:
Believe me, I am completely focused. I-
Edith:
Hello? Whoa! That guy is huge!
Agnes:
Are we on TV?
Mr. Perkins:
What are those? Children?!
Gru:
[furious] What are you doing?! I told you to stay out of here! [chases the girls out of the room, then backpedals when Edith and Agnes aim the freeze ray at him] No, no, no!
Edith:
Freeze ray!
Mr. Perkins:
Mr. Gru?
Gru:
[makes karate sounds, but arrives with a frozen body, with the exception of his head, arms, and buttocks] As I was saying...
Mr. Perkins:
No need to continue, I've seen quite enough.
Gru:
But my plan--
Mr. Perkins:
Is a great plan, I love everything about your plan, except for one thing: you.
[Gru remembers some of his memories]
Young Gru:
Look, Mom! I drew a picture of me landing on the moon!
Gru's Mom:
[looks at Gru's picture, but turns back] Ehh.
Young Gru:
Look, Mom! I made a prototype of the rocket out of macaroni!
Gru's Mom:
[looks at he macaroni prototype, but regrets] Ehh.
Young Gru:
[excitedly] Look, Mom! I made the real rocket, based on the macaroni prototype! [presses a button and sends the rocket into space]
Gru's Mom:
[looks at Gru's rocket as it flies off] Ooo... [looks back at Gru] Ehh.
Gru:
[Reality hits him; he falls down and breaks the ice encasing him; confused] I... don't understand.
Mr. Perkins:
Let's face reality, Gru. You've been at this for far too long, with far too little success. We're gonna put our faith, our money, into a...well, a younger villain.
Gru:
But I--
Mr. Perkins:
It's over. Goodbye, Gru. [crushes his apple and the TV turns off]
