Sir, the ship has been boarded by some kind of... monster!
Silas
Wait, that’s not a monster. [zooms in on the boat, revealing Bratt] That’s a man wearing shoulder pads! There’s only one supervillain whose fashion sense is quite that dated, Balthazar Bratt. Blast it, the Dupont Diamond is on that ship! I want every agent in the area on the scene immediately!
Silas
Thank you for coming in such short notice. It is with great sadness that I must inform that as of today, I am retiring as head of the AVL.
Lucy
Oh, no!
Silas
Your new leader is coming directly from head office, effective immediately. She is the very gifted… [under his breath] ...The very ambitious, Miss Valerie Da Vinci. As I look out over all your faces, I am fluttered with so many memories.
Oh, boy, this is a snooze fest! Blah, blah, blah, we understand, you're old, look, you're fat, you're done.
Silas
Ooh! [grunts] Let me breathe in! [gets shoved into the ejection hole]
Whew, broke a little sweat there. [chuckles] First order of business. [clears throat] Which one of you losers is Agent Gru?!

Gru
Oh, that would be me. Although, I don't know if I'd say "loser," per se. Kind of is... [gasps and hears his phone ringing, he pulls it out, looking at Agenes, Margo and Edith] Oh, it's the girls. Not a good time.
Hey!
Gru
Yes, sir! [gasping] Uh, ma'am? You're making me nervous.
How could you let Balthazar Bratt, the AVL's most wanted villain, just get away? That is the opposite of what we do here!
Gru
Okay, okay. Yes, maybe he got away. Again. But he didn't get the diamond. And I am this close to bringing him in. This close.
Huh. Interesting. YOU'RE FIRED!
Gru
What?
Lucy
That's totally not fair. Gru is a great agent! You know what? If you fire him, you're gonna have to fire me, sister-sister. And do you really want to do that? Do ya?
Gru
No, no, no, no, no, hey!
Lucy
Well, I guess she did.
