[At night, Gru just came home from the AVL, carrying the sleeping Agnes on his shoulders, and enters the girls' bedroom] [whispers]
Hey, I told you guys to get to bed.
Margo Oh, sorry.
What?
Remember? Miss Jillian said she was arranging a date for you.
Why not? [hangs from her bed ladder] Are you scared?
Lisa
[Gru stands still of what Edith said to him; a flashback reveals an eight-year old Gru on a playground when in elementary school, holding a flower behind his back] [to her friends]
Hey, did you guys see the moon landing on TV?
Girls
Yeah, I can’t believe it. It’s so cool...
Lisa
Yeah, and you know what...
Lisa
[not paying attention]
I was talking to Billy the other day.
Girls
No way.
Lisa
And I think he likes me.
[clears his throat; nervous]
Hey Lisa, I was wondering if you... [taps his finger on her shoulder]
Little Kids
[horrified]
Eeeewww!
[Everyone runs back inside in response, screaming; the young Gru remains on the playground, disappointed] [comes out of his flashback]
Scared? Of what? Women?! [chuckles] No! That's bonkers! I just... I've no interest in going on a date! That's all! Case closed! I am not scared of women... or dates... Let's go to bed. Good night, Edith. [gives a goodnight kiss to Edith] Good night, Margo. [gives a goodnight kiss to Margo, but returns] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Hold the horses. Who are you texting?
Margo No one. Just my friend Avery.
Avery. [confused] Eh? Avery? Is that a girl’s name or a boy’s name?
Margo [confused]
Does it matter?
No. No, it doesn’t matter unless it’s a boy!
I know what makes you a boy.
Your bald head.
[creates an imaginary line with her hands around the head of a temporarily confused Gru]
It’s really smooth. Sometimes I stare at it, and imagine a little chick popping out. [imitates a little chick] Peep-peep-peep.
Good night, Agnes. [gives her a kiss on the forehead] Never get older. [leaves the girls' bedroom and turns off the lights]
[During the morning after one of Gru’s minions were abducted]
Are you sure we should be doing this?
Margo Yes, it’s for his own good. [searching through Gru’s online pictures] Okay, we need to choose a picture. [clicks on one of Gru’s photos]
No. [Margo shows another picture] Scary.
[The girls scream in horror when Margo shows a picture of Gru in his swimming trunks] [with her eyes covered]
What is that?!
Margo Hey, what celebrity do you look like?
Uhhh... Bruce Willis?
Margo [The girls stare at Gru blankly]
Mmm... No.
Humpty Dumpty!
Ohhh... Gollum!
[The girls start laughing while Gru gives a "I don't get it" expression]
Okay, what are you doing?
We're signing you up for online dating!
Oh, okay... WHAT?! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. [grabs the laptop from Margo]
Aw come on, it's fun.
Margo And it's time for you to get out there.
No! Stop! no one is ever getting out there! Ever! [quickly passes the laptop to a Minion next to him, accidentally hitting him in the face; solemnly] Okay, now for the announcement: I have accepted a new job!
Margo Whoa! Really?
Yes, I have been recruited by a top secret agency to go undercover and save the world!
You're gonna be a spy?!
That's right, baby! Gru's back in the game with gadgets and weapons and cool cars! The whole deal!
Are you really gonna save the world?
Tim
[with male pattern baldness and an old dutch beard, wearing a shirt and tie]
Cacao!
[entering the girls' bedroom]
All right, homework done, pyjamas on, teeth brushed, time for bed.
Margo What's the big hurry?
I just... I have a lot of work to do.
Work, what kind of work?
Very important business. So hugs, kisses... [gives the girls a hug and kisses their foreheads, then puts them in bed] Good night, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs blah-blah-blah-blah-blah... [suddenly sees Agnes standing at the doorway]
But you said me you would help me practice my part for the Mother’s Day show.
[Gru and Lucy are hiding in garbage bins in the mall] [puts on her binoculars]
All right, there he is. Suspect #8: Floyd Eaglesan.
Oh, okay.
See if you can get closer. Go, go...
[tries to approach the entrance but makes sharp noise when moving the garbage bin; Floyd Eagle-san turns back and looks around, then enters the store]
Alright, what do- [when a man attempts to throw a cup of hot coffee into Gru's garbage can; to himself] Oh no. That's not good! [suddenly freezes, revealing his legs. Confused, the man tries it again, but Gru dodges and takes off running, accidentally hitting a bent-over woman's rear-end before he falls down the escalator, rolling out of the garbage can and stumbling upon his daughters]
Margo Well, we thought we'd come to visit you at work. [looks at her father and the trash can] So... you're saving the world in a garbage can?
Lucy, these are my girls: Margo, Edith and Agnes. Girls — Lucy. Lucy — Girls
Margo [Lucy smiles and shakes head slightly at the girls greeting them, tenderly]
Hello!
Hi!
Oh! Hey! I have an idea! Since Lucy and I have lots of work to do, why don't you girls go and explore the mall? [leaves Lucy along with the girls] Here's some money. Go buy some useless mall junk, some headbands and...
Are you gonna marry Lucy?
Are you out of your gourd? No! She just works with me.
Plus you love her. [happily singing and dancing, attracting attention to everyone in the mall] You love her! You love her! You really, really love her, and you're gonna get married! And I'll be the flower girl, and...
Okay, stop. This is a song of lies. I don't even like her. [points to the mall] Now go have fun. [The girls leave; prepares to stand up]
[laughs]
Almost forgot! Hugs! [storms off to Gru along with her older siblings to give him a hug, throwing themselves on top of him]
Margo Good luck saving the world! Bye!
Bye, Gru! [runs away happily]
Those girls totally adore you! I bet you're a fun dad. [walks away with a smile]
Cool glasses.
Margo Uh... [chuckles nervously]
I’m Antonio.
Margo I’m...Margo.
I was just going to get a cookie. Care to join me?
Margo [nervous]
Uh,... sure. I’m... Margo. [once seeing her going out with Antonio, Edith, still wearing her diving mask and snorkel, loudly clears her throat in suspicion; nervous] Um... I’ll catch up with you guys later. Bye! [leaves her sisters]
[informs him at Bake My Day by monitor as he activates a chem-tracking device shaped like a belt; through headphones]
If it picks up any traces of the serum, the center of your belt buckle [aloud] will make a sound like this: Mee-Mo-Mee-Mo-Mee-Mo!
[cuts off Lucy; annoyed]
Okay! I get it! I get it! [fumbles with the automatic door, then enters Eagle Hair Club]
Floyd
[chuckles]
Welcome to Eagle Hair Club. [turns his eagle-like chair, revealing himself holding and stroking a toupee] It’s about time you showed up...Mr. Gru. [the bald eagle perched next to him squawks]
You...know my name?
Floyd
[chuckles]
When someone moves into the mall who is follically challenged, I make it my business to know all about them. You are bald. And that is bad. [strokes the toupee he’s holding, kisses it, then puts it on a mannequin head] There you go, my sweet.
[at Bake My Day] [monitoring Gru’s chem-tracking device]
I’m getting nothing so far. I think you need to look around.
[at Eagle Hair Club, after listening to Lucy in the headphones; Gru walks away, smiling nervously, and starts looking around the mall, but none of the mannequin heads give a signal] [starts thrusting his hips once noticing a painting]
Wow, this looks interesting. What is it?
Floyd
[suspiciously]
I take it you’re an art lover?
Yeah, not so much. [walks over to a podium holding a trophy and starts thrusting his hips at it] Oh, how about this impressive trinket?
Floyd
[gasps]
I hardly call it trinket, Mr. Gru.
Floyd
The International—
Yeah, I don’t care. [moves over to a shelf filled with wig samples and starts straddling it]
[in headphones, startling Gru]
Mee-Mo-Mee-Mo-Mee-Mo!!! Hold on, I’m picking up something. Behind that wall!
Ahh... and what do we have here?
Floyd
[grabs a sample]
These are my trial wigs. [hands Gru a bag with a wig in it] You should take one.
No, thanks. [sticks his head into the shelf] So what’s on the other side of the wall?
Floyd
There you are! Look at me! Focus!
Floyd
I promise, that this wig will transform you from ugly to irresistible.
[Gru is staring at the wig when Agnes and Edith hastily storm inside Eagle Hair Club, making him lose his focus]
MARGO HAS A BOYFRIEND!
AND THEY’RE GOING ON A DATE!
[suddenly hysterical, to Edith]
Date?! [to Agnes] Boyfriend?! [to Floyd] What?! [Floyd shrugs shoulders and shakes his head nervously; Gru stares at Agnes and Edith]
Margo [Gru, Edith and Agnes enter Eduardo's restaurant and notice Margo and Antonio are eating a cookie] [chuckling]
Oh, you're so funny!
[Cut back to the other Grus noticing
Gross! [referring to Margo and Antonio, pointing at them] Look, they're in love!
Oh, no, no, no. Don't say that they're... no, no, no! [leaves for Margo and Antonio]
Margo [romantically]
Wow. [chuckles] You're so complicated!
[interrupts them, smiling nervously]
Margo, [Margo gasps in astonishment] what is going on here?
Margo Oh, Gru, se llama Antonio. Me llamo, Margo.
Me llamo llama ding-dong! [serious] Who cares? Let's go.
Margo So I take it the date went well?
No! It was horrible! [laughs gleefully]
Okay, let's party, huh, but first, let's go over the rules, because, what is fun without the rules? Agnes, easy on the churros. Edith, try not to kill anyone.
Hello, Mr. Gru.
Margo [angry]
Gru!
There must be the standard six foot of space between you and boys, [referring to Antonio] especially this boy... [surprised to see Antonio is again beside Margo]
[laughs behind Gru]
Ah, you are a funny man. There are no rules, senor. It's Cinco de Mayo. [to the girls] Come on! They're starting to dance.
Arrrrrrrrrriba!
Aha! I knew it! You are El Macho!
That’s right!
[laughing]
Of course not. I merely faked my death! [chuckles] But now, it’s time for me to make a spectacular return to evil! Doctor, I think it’s time we showed Gru what we’re up to here.
Doctor Nefario?
Nice to see you, Gru.
Whaaa? This— so this is your new job opportunity?
Absolutely. You’re gonna like this. [presses a button, revealing a purple Kevin strapped to a chair]
Sorry. I had to borrow some of your Minions, but it was for a worthy cause.
Oh! Kevin? [tries to approach Kevin, but repels with disgust] Ugh!
No! He's not Kevin anymore! Now he's an indestructible, mindless, killing machine!
Evil Kevin
BLAUGH!
Evil Kevin
[a machine gun descends and sprays him with bullets]
BLAUGH! [ a flamethrower descends] BLAUGH! [it sprays him with flame. An axe descends and hits him over the head, he jumps up and eats it. A bomb falls and he swallows it, exploding harmlessly inside him. A police car, siren running, falls on him. He eats it in six bites] BLAUGH!
And here's the best part, I got an army of them! [some lights turn on, revealing hundreds of cages full of evil minions; Gru receives a horrified look on his face once seeing them] Soon I will unleash them on the world! And if anyone, anyone tries to stop them, YEOW! Their city gets eaten. [pause] We can do it together!
Together?
Together! I have admired your work for years, amigo! Stealing the moon?! [yanking on Gru's scarf] Are you kidding?! We would be unstoppable! Men like you, men like me, we should be ruling the world! [excitedly] So, are you in?
Uh...yeah...probably...
[stepping backwards]
I mean, yes! Yes. Of course, yes, I just have a lot going on right now...I just need to get some things off my plate before we start taking over the world, that’s all.
‘Scuse me?
No—forget it! One hundred percent! I am in! [pretending] I think—what is—do you hear that— I do. That’s Agnes calling me from on the surf— [steps into the elevator which closes, but immediately opens again; hastily pressing a button] Totally in! [the elevator closes]
[suspicious]
You know what? I am not so convinced that he is in. [presses a button, releasing Kevin]
Evil Kevin
BLAUGH!
[Back upstairs, Edith, who’s blindfolded, lightly touches the piñata with a baseball bat, finally smacking it into pieces, revealing candy on the ground]
Edith! Agnes! Come on! [Edith accidentally hits him in the head with a baseball bat] Ooof!
We need to go home now! Where’s Margo?
But I didn’t get a turn!
[Meanwhile, a depressed Margo is sitting alone, eating a guacamole sombero]
Margo! [approaches her with Edith and Agnes] Come on, we're leav... Hey, what’s wrong?
Margo [disappointed]
I hate boys.
[It is revealed that Antonio is dancing with another girl] [referring to boys]
Yes, they stink. Look sorry, honey, we have to leave. [sends Margo away and comes back to screen, then angrily shoots his freeze ray at Antonio for leaving Margo heartbroken without saying anything]
[Margo and Agnes are playing a board game when they suddenly hear Evil Kevin and Kyle] [startled]
What was that?
Margo [gets up, walks slowly to the window and opens the curtains; the somewhat scared Agnes holds her unicorn]
I don't see anything.
Margo [But then, Margo sees Evil Kevin, screaming in horror as she closes the curtains. The Evil Kevin breaks the glass, causing Margo to run to Agnes. Evil Kevin falls on the floor with the curtains and he looks back to Margo and Agnes, holding her unicorn, then screams and runs towards them] [screams]
Run!
Margo [off-screen]
Agnes, no!
[Evil Kevin tries to eats the unicorn, but Agnes, shocked in terror, starts screaming so loud that not only forced Evil Kevin to spit out the unicorn and starting to scream, but also Margo to cover her ears, and breaking everything, from a bust of Gru's mother to Kevin's goggles. Agnes stops screaming, gently walks to and grabs her unicorn and runs to the hallway. Margo looks back to Evil Kevin before pressing the button on Gru's rhino chair, revealing the elevator.]
Kevin
BAH DEE, BAH DEE! (CAN'T SEE)
Margo [Margo and Agnes scream in horror as the still blind Evil Kevin approaches them until the elevator closes Evil Kevin bumps his head as the elevator goes down. Meanwhile, in Gru's lab, a dozen Minions while Edith and a Minion are playing ping-pong]
Come on! Hurry!
Move!
Kevin
[But suddenly, Evil Kevin submerges from the ground floor, collapsing on a pile of steel bars which fall onto a sofa before trying to attack the girls; Edith swings her nun-chucks, attempting to protect her siblings, but before Kevin could devour them, a hypodermic needle is injected in his back, rendering Kevin back to normal]
Ooh-la-la! [sits up] um, picatos?
Kevin!
Kevin! [dog pile him]
Margo Dr. Nefario, you’re back!
In the flesh! Behold... [reveals an Erlenmeyer flask filled with a yellow substance] the antidote! [heads towards the jelly containers] Come on, let’s put this horrible jelly into some good use!
Margo Whoa! Whoa! Okay, okay, all right. That's enough of the magic show!
Awwww.
Margo [Margo suddenly looks around as if she just heard something.]
Wait, did you hear that? It sounded like the twinkling sounds of magical fairy dust.
Margo [Margo points up to the sky.] [gasps]
Look!
[entering the girls' bedroom]
All right, homework done, pajamas on, teeth brushed, time for bed.
Margo What's the big hurry?
I just... I have a lot of work to do.
Work, what kind of work?
Very important business. So hugs, kisses... [gives the girls a hug and kisses their foreheads, then puts them in bed, while throwing Edith] Good night, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs blah-blah-blah-blah-blah... [suddenly sees Agnes standing at the doorway]
But you said me you would help me practice my part for the Mother’s Day show.
[blankly]
She kisses my boo-boos, she braids my hair. My mother is beyond compare. We love you mothers everywhere. [smiles at Gru]
[surprised]
Wow! That was... something else! I really like the way you smiled at the end. Let's try this one more time, but a teensy bit less like a zombie, okay?
Okay. [blankly] She kisses my boo-boos, she braids my hair...
I don't think I should do this.
I don't even have a mom.
Well, you don't need one to do the show. I mean, you did the Veteran's Day pageant, and you haven't been in combat.
This is different.
Okay, well, then... maybe you could just use your imagination.
You mean I pretend that I have a mom?
Yes, right. [kneels down] You can do that, can't you?
[delightedly]
Yeah! I do that all the time! Thanks, Gru! [gives him a kiss and leaves; Gru is confused]
