[entering the girls' bedroom]
All right, homework done, pajamas on, teeth brushed, time for bed.
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]
