Gru
(to Dr. Nefario)

Cookie robots! I said cookie robots! Ah, why... why are you so old?

Carnival Barker

Hey, buddy, let me explain something to you. You see that little tin spaceship? You see how it's not knocked over? Do you know what that means, professor? It means you don't get the unicorn! Oh! Uh-oh! Somebody's got a frowny face. Boo! Better luck next time! (Anges starts to cry. Gru: Ok, my turn.)

Carnival Ride Worker

Sorry, dude. They can't ride without an adult.

[She jumps. But he grabs Margo]

Not so fast!

Gru
[to Vector]

No!

Let me go!
[Vector evil laughs as he tries to shoot Gru. But gets hurt by the moon]

[A minion drinks a flash of purple liquid and starts floating upwards as Gru and Dr. Nefario watch on.]

We've been working on this one for a while. It's an Anti-Gravity Serum.

[The minion suddenly drifts towards a conveniently open hatch, screaming as he floats up and out of sight.]

I meant to close that. He'll be all right, I'm sure.

Gru

Do the effects wear off?

[Dr Nefario looks up at a bunch of minions floating under one of the walkways overhead.]

Err, so far, no. No, they don't.

[The minions wave to them and Gru hesitantly waves back at them.]

And here, of course, is the new weapon you ordered. [fires cloud of foul-smelling gas at minion, making a flatulent noise and knocking the minion out]

Gru

No, no, no. I said dart gun, not fart gun!

Oh, yes. 'Cause I was wondering under what circumstances would we use this.

[After the girls leave Gru's house]

I did it for your own good. Come on, let’s go get that Moon.

Gru

Right.

[Gru is gathering the girls' toys in the hallway, when Dr. Nefario enters.]

Only 48 hours til the launch and all systems are go.

Gru

About that, I was thinking that maybe we could move the date of the heist.

Please tell me that this not as a result of the girls' dance recital?

Gru

No, no, no! The recital? Don't... That's stupid! I just think it's kind of weird to do it on a Saturday. I was thinking, maybe a heist is a Tuesday thing, right?

Gru! You and I have been working on this for years! It's everything we've dreamed of! Your chance to make history: become “The Man Who Stole the Moon.” But these girls are becoming a major distraction! They need to go! If you don’t do something about it, I will.

Gru

I understand. [leaves]

Good.

[by intercom]

Gru!

Gru

Ah, Dr. Nefario.

I know how you must be feeling. I too have encountered great disappointment, but, in my eyes, you'll always be one of the greats.

Gru

What? What happened?

It's all over the news! Some fella just stole a pyramid! He said it makes all other villains look... lame.

Gru
[responds angrily]

Assemble the Minions!

Fred McDade (Gru's neighbor)

Morning, Gru! How you doing?

Hello, Fred. FYI, your dog has been leaving little bombs all over my yard and I don't appreciate it.

Fred

Sorry. You know dogs, they go wherever they wanna go.

Gru

Unless they're dead. [laughs] I'm joking! Although it is true. Anyway, have a good one.

Fred
[confused]

Oh, okay. Uh... yeah!

Gru
[takes phone call]

Hello, Mom. Sorry. I meant to call, but...

I just wanted to congratulate you on stealing the pyramid. [Gru sighs in disgust] That was you, wasn't it? Or was it a villain who was actually successful? [laughs]

Gru

Listen, I'm in the middle of something that's very very big, very important! When you hear about it, you're going to be very proud!

Ha! Good luck with that! Okay, I'm outta here! [ends the call and kicks a punching bag in her dojo, knocking another man across the room] Ha!

Gru

Okay, girls, time for bed.

Ah, come on, we want a story.

[excited]

Three Sleepy Kittens!

Gru

Oh no, sorry, that book was accidentally destroyed maliciously.

Gru
[Kyle snorts]

Tonight, we are going to read a new book. [shows his homemade book to the girls] This one is called, "One Big Unicorn" by... Who wrote it? Oh, me! I wrote it! [opens the book] Oh, look, it's a puppet book. Hey, watch this. [sticks his nose through a small hole] That's the horn.

[the girls laugh along with Gru]

This is gonna be the best book ever.

Gru

Not to pat myself on the back, but yes, it probably will be. [opens the book] Here we go. "One big unicorn, strong and free, thought he was happy as he could be. Until 3 little kittens came around and turned his whole life upside down."

[points to the page]

Hey, that one looks like me!

Gru
[pulls back the book]

No, what are you talking about? These are kittens. Any relation to persons living or dead is completely coincidental. [continues reading] "They made him laugh... [laughs] ...They made him cry." [sighs] "He never should have said goodbye. And now he knows he could never part, from those 3 little kittens that changed his heart." [beats] The End. [closes the book] Okay, alright, good night.

[Gru starts to leave the girls' bedroom, but comes back and kisses Agnes and then Edith on the forehead; he bends over to kiss Margo, but she jumps up and throws her arms around his neck]

I love you.

Gru
[hugging her back; whispering]

I love you too.
