[Lord Business looks shocked and lowers the Kragle]
Emmet: And so am I, and so is everyone, the prophecy is made up, but it's also true, it's about all of us, right now, it's about you, and you, still, can change everything.
[he holds up the Piece of Resistance. Business, touched by Emmet's speech drops the Kragle and starts walking over to him. Cut to the real world where Finn's father approaches his son, kneels down and hugs Finn, at the same time in Lego world, we see Lord Business is hugging Emmet.]
Emmet: Oh, we got a hugger. [Emmet hands the Piece of Resistance to Lord Business] Be careful, I have been told... it might explode.
[Lord Business winks at Emmet, makes his way to the Kragle, in the real world Finn's father places the lid on the Krazy Glue, at the same time Lord Business places the Piece of Resistance on to the Kragle and into the TAKO device]
Lord Business: [strains, exhales deeply] Emmet, thank you.

Lord Business: And I just want you to know, from the bottom of my heart, from this moment forward, I solemnly promise that I will never--

Wyldstyle: [Wyldstyle smiles and Emmet looks behind him to see who Batman was pointing at] Thanks, Batman!
Unikitty: [giggles]
[Wyldstyle turns Emmet's face towards her and they finally hold hands, everyone cheers for them, then we see Vitruvius's ghostly form hovering over the city watching them] Vitruvius: [whispers] I liked Emmet before he was cool. [we see Lord Business is pouring an antidote to unstick everybody]
Lord Business: Whoops! I have the antidote for the Kragle! HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?!
[at the same time in the real world Finn's father is pouring glue remover all over the Lego pieces as Finn watches]
Finn: De-kragler!
The Man Upstairs: Watch this. YEAH! [as Finn's father pours glue remover onto Pa and Ma Cop Finn reunites Bad Cop with his parents]
Finn: Oh, Mommy, Daddy, you're okay!
[scene changes to Bad Cop reunited with his parents]
Ma Cop: [Ma Cop chuckles] Oh, son! [Bad Cop who's now using his drawn on Good Cop face hugs his parents]
Good Cop: Hi, Mom, hi, Dad.
Pa Cop: [chuckles] We're okay, son. [Pa Cop chuckles, in the real world as Finn and his father are playing with the Lego pieces Mom calls out]
Mom: [he door opens calls out something] Uh, hey, guys? Time to come up for dinner! It’s Taco Tuesday, your favorite!
The Man Upstairs: Okay, honey, well, be up in a sec.
Finn: Oh, yeah, we'll be up in a sec!
The Man Upstairs: Well, I got to tell you something.
Finn: [hysterically] What?
The Man Upstairs: [to Finn the antidote for the Kragle, favorite and his father Lego pieces] Now that I'm letting you come down here and play, guess who else gets to come down here and play?
Finn: Who?
The Man Upstairs: Your sister.
Finn: [surprised] What?
[last lines; as everyone Emmet and the gang are having a feast on the Double-Decker couch]

Emmet: Uh... [he becomes completely transfixed and steps over his instruction manual]
Voice: Touch the--
[he slowly extends his hand and touches the block and infinite gets a vision]
[record scratches, which includes Vitruvius reciting the Piece of Resistance prophecy]
Vitruvius: A Special one with face of yellow... [Emmet falls, screaming] ...will make the Piece of Resistance found from its hiding refuge underground... [Emmet is still falling] ...this Master Builder... [girl screams] ...will thwart the Kragle and save the realm...
Wyldstyle: Come on, Emmet, protect the Special!
Vitruvius: [Emmet then passes out] ...the Special has arisen.
Boy: It's your turn to be the hero.
Bad Cop: [as Emmet slowly wakes he hears someone's voice interrogating him] [Bad Cop echoes in distorted voice] Wake up.
Emmet: [Emmet falls asleep] [echoes in distorted voice] Ugh.
Bad Cop: Come on, wake up! Where is the Master Builders?! How did you find the Piece of Resistance?! Eh?!, where are the others hiding?
Emmet: [Emmet's wake up out voice interrogating hears as starts to open his eyes] [in normal voice] Good morning, apartment...?
Bad Cop: [in normal voice] WAKE UP! [Emmet screams suddenly an angry looking cop shines a light onto Emmet making him immediately awake] How did you find the Piece of Resistance?
Emmet: The Piece of what?
Bad Cop: The Piece of Resistance. [Bad Cop grunts, and screams as he falls and finally lands onto the ground, suddenly he knocks a chair aside in anger scaring Emmet, we see Emmet is being held in an interrogation room with his hands shackled to chair]
Emmet: I don't, where am I, what's happening?
Bad Cop: What's happening? Playing dumb, master builder?
Evil Villain: [to Bad Cop] YOU'RE LIED TO ME!!
Emmet: No, I... master builder?
Bad Cop: Oh, so you've never heard of the prophecy?
Emmet: No, I...
Bad Cop: Or the Special?
Emmet: No! No, I...
Bad Cop: You're a liar! We'll kill ya. [Bad Cop grunting and screams, starts to kick and wrestle a chair]

Good Cop: Hi, buddy! I'm your friendly neighborhood police officer! Would you like a glass of water?
Emmet: Yeah, actually that sounds-
Bad Cop: [switches back to his face] TOO BAAAD!!! [smacks the glass away] Security cameras picked up this! [grunts] You were found at the construction site convulsing with a strange piece!
Emmet: That's disgusting!
Bad Cop: Then why is it permanently stuck to your back?
Emmet: [peers back, sees that The Piece of Resistance is glued onto his back, and screams in alarm, but has a panic attack, and tries to get it off] Oh no! Aaaah! Ah! Ah! Get off me!! It won't come off, it's chasin' me! Look, it's not my fault! I have no idea how this thing got on my back! [Bad Cop changes his face to Good Cop]
Good Cop: Of course, buddy. I believe you!
Emmet: Great! [suddenly Bad Cop appears beside Emmet] [Screams] Aaaahh!! I don't wanna scared?
Bad Cop: I "believe" you, too! You see the quotations I'm making with my claw hands? It means I don't believe you! Why else would you show up with that thing on your back just three days before President Business is going to use the Kragle to end the world?
Emmet: President Business is gonna end the world? But he's such a good guy. And Octan, they make good stuff: [flashback books] Music, dairy products, coffee, TV shows, surveillance systems, all history books, voting machines... [flashback ends] ...Wait a minute.
Bad Cop: Oh, come on, you can't be this stupid!
Emmet: Look, this is a misunderstanding, I'm just a regular, normal, ordinary guy, and I'm late to meet my best friends in the whole world, and they're probably missing me right now, they're probably out looking around! Hey, where's Emmet? Hey, where's my best friend Emmet? And you know what. Ask all my friends! THEY'LL TELL YOU!!

View Quote [Plutarch walks up to Effie's door and knocks]
Effie: Go away. [Plutarch opens her door] Is it visiting hours again?
Plutarch: Miss Trinket, you see this door. It opens. From the inside. I've told you, these are the standard living quarters. Same as everyone. You're not a prisoner. You're free to join the rest of 13.
Effie: Not looking like this. Thank you very much.
Plutarch: We have a bigger issue than wardrobe, Miss Trinket. Katniss has agreed to be The Mockingjay.
Effie: That poor thing.
Plutarch: And your Girl on Fire is burnt out. I need you to join this team now. I need someone she trusts.
Effie: What about Haymitch?
Plutarch: He's drying out in some facility a mile down.
Aiding rebels is not really my forte.
Plutarch: Miss Trinket, your days in the Capitol are over, no matter what happens here. If you wanna play a prisoner of war, fine. Stay here and rot. I'll find someone else to be The Mockingjay's escort.
Effie: Who?
Plutarch: Anyone can be replaced.
Effie: Not your Mockingjay. There isn't a soul in this dungeon who knows the first thing about Katniss. You honestly believe one of these cave dwellers is going to take my place? No.

View Quote President Alma: [Making a speech to District 12 workers] Good afternoon. Thank you for interrupting your schedules. They have already been adjusted to compensate...
Katniss: [To Primrose] I hardly ever see any children around here.
President Alma: ...please check in with your unit...
Primrose: A lot of them were lost in an epidemic a few years ago. Coin lost her family too. Daughter and her husband. [Katniss spots Finnick and walks over to him]
President Alma: ...and our welcome guests from 12. Katniss Everdeen has consented to be the face of our cause, to help unite the Districts against the Capitol. In exchange, I have promised several concessions. First, we'll assess all opportunities for the extraction of the Victors held in the Capitol. Peeta Mellark, Johanna Mason,
Katniss: [To Finnick] Finnick, I made the deal for Annie, too.
President Alma: ...and Annie Cresta. Once freed, they will be granted a full pardon for any and all crimes committed against the rebel cause. [There's an uproar amidst the workers]
Finnick: [To Katniss] Good. That's good, Katniss.
President Alma: If Katniss fails to fulfill her duties the deal will be off. Thank you for your attention. Please, resume your schedules. [Walks over to Plutarch and Effie]
Plutarch: Madame President.
President Alma: Effie Trinket. [To Plutarch] Welcome to 13.
Plutarch: Madame President, may I say you are so very... concise.
President Alma: You believe that there are more to be said?
Plutarch: May I speak freely?
President Alma: You don't appear to do anything else?
Plutarch: I'm only talking about salesmanship. The thing with revolutions, they're a tender flame. They need to be nurtured with a little kindling and warmth. Bit of oxygen.
Effie: Oxygen.
Plutarch: One sure way to put it out is to smother it.
President Alma: Or to use up all the air in the room. Excuse me. [Walks past them]
Effie: [To Plutarch] You know what could use a revolution? That hair. [Pats his shoulder]

View Quote Katniss: Effie? [Runs up to Effie in cafeteria] What are you doing here? [They embrace in hug]
Effie: I'm a political refugee.
Katniss: Plutarch rescued you?
Effie: Rescued, yes, that's what he calls it. You and I were both in the dark. Now I'm condemned to this life of jumpsuits. [Extends a handshake to Gale] It is wonderful to see you again. Can you believe this place? I miss coffee. I never knew anyplace could be so strict. I mean, at least, in the higher ranks there'd be some... side action. I miss my wigs. Luckily, I remembered that this was all the rage when I was coming up. You know, everything old can be made new again. Like democracy. Which brings me to this. [Produces a binder of fashion sketches and hands it to Katniss]
Katniss: [Perusing binder sketches] Cinna. He's dead, isn't he?
Effie: Yes, dear. He made Plutarch promise you not to show you this until you'd decided to be the Mockingjay on your own. He knew the risks. As we all do. He believed in this revolution. He believed in you.
Katniss: They're beautiful.
Effie: They have it. They have the Mockingjay outfit. There's not much of a prep team here in 13 but we will make you the best-dressed rebebl in history.
