[to his son, Gru Jr.] Behind that sourpuss, I know you love your dada. Go on, say it. "Dada. Da-da." [Lucy: "Of course he loves you. He just doesn't show it on his face... or with his body language."]

I'll hit him with this. Once he's knocked out, we'll open the cage. That fuzzy demon will sleep like a baby.

I don't make people awkward or uncomfortable! I am very comforting, like a nice meat loaf! I'm pretty delicious! [Lucy and Silas stare at him] This is not awkward; You're the ones who are making it awkward.

It's okay, Junior. Dada loves you.

[Gru and Lucy finished watching a transmission from Maxime.]
Gru: Don't worry. He can't get out of there; [chuckles] It's a maximum-security prison.
Silas: Ah, yes, well, um... [clears his throat] He escaped yesterday.
Gru: [shocked] WHAT?!

Gru: This will be great.
Silas: All right, now down to business. For your own safety, you'll all be assuming new identities.
Gru: [confused] New identities? Is that really necessary?
Silas: It's not up for debate, Gru. [Gru sulks] Now, you are a solar panel salesman. [gives Lucy her fake identity] Lucy, you're a hair stylist at an upscale salon.
Lucy: [gasps in excitement] A hair stylist?! Yes, jackpot! Silas, did you choose that because you know I cut my own hair and I would totally rock at this?
Silas: [bluntly] No.
Gru: [reads his fake identity] "Chet Cunningham"... Da, that's got a nice ring to it.
Silas: Girls. [gives Edith, Margo, and Agnes their fake identities]
Edith: [chuckles] Cool. I'm Blair.
Agnes: [disappointed] Britney?
Margo: [confused] My name is Bree?
Lucy: Oh, come on; There are worse names than Bree...
Margo: Yeah, like Blanche.
Lucy: [laughs] Yes, Margo. Blanche? Oh, that's a terrible name. [chuckles and nudges Gru] Imagine being named Blanche. Truly, I cannot think of a worse... [calms down] My name is Blanche, isn't it?
Margo: Yep.
Lucy: [laughs] Well, I'll get used to it.
Silas: Well, why don't you girls go and pick out your rooms while I have a word with your parents? [the girls ascend the stairs; to Gru and Lucy] Yes, I-I didn't want to frighten the girls, but it is absolutely crucial you keep your true identities under wraps. Gru, you're going to have to try to not be so... Gru-ish.
Gru: [confused] What is that supposed to mean?
Silas: Well, I'm just saying you tend to stand out in a crowd, that's all. You know, you, uh... Like the way you're always cranky and irritable and, uh... how you make things a bit awkward for everyone around you.
Lucy: You do do that. [laughs nervously] I mean, you-you know, you...
Gru: Okay, enough. I don't make people awkward or uncomfortable; I'm very comforting, like a nice meat loaf. I'm pretty delicious! [Lucy and Silas exchange glances and stare at him] This is not awkward; You're the ones who are making it awkward.
Silas: Gru, you have to blend in. Your family's lives are at stakes. You understand?
Lucy: Of course, yes. Fully understand. We'll do anything to keep our family safe, yeah. [Gru nods reluctantly]
Silas: Right, well, I'll be in contact when this is all over. Until then, capturing Maxime Le Mal is our top priority. Stay safe. [leaves the safe house]
Silas: All right, now down to business. For your own safety, you'll all be assuming new identities.

Gru: [gives Agnes a plate] Here you go, Britney.
Agnes: Wait... I can't say my name is Britney. That would be a lie.
Gru: Yes...?
Agnes: But we aren't "stu-posed" to lie.
Gru: Don't think of it as lying; think of it as high-stakes pretending.
Agnes: Well, I'm not going to.
Gru: Ah, just a little white lie.
Agnes: [turns away in denial] Nope!
Gru: [sternly] Agnes, as your father, I command you to lie!
Agnes: [glares at Gru] No!
Gru: Yes! Lie!
Agnes: [shakes her head "No"] Mm-mm!
Gru: You are walking on thin ice, little lady!
Agnes: [slams her plate] Hmph.
[Gru Jr. scrapes the bacon from Agnes' fork.]
Gru: Why can't you be more like your sister, Edith? She lies all the time.
Edith: No, I don't.
Gru: See, see!? She's lying right now! Beautifully, I might add.
