Doctor Nefario
Gru!
Gru
Ah, Dr. Nefario.
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?
Dr. Nefario
It's all over the news! Some fella just stole a pyramid! He said it makes all other villains look... lame.
Gru
Assemble the Minions!
Dr. Nefario
Gru, do you mind if I have a quick word?
Gru
Okay, girls, go play. [the girls run off; Gru approaches Dr. Nefario; in a sing-song voice] I got the shrink ray!
Gru
Cotton candy?
Dr. Nefario
We have twelve days until the moon is in optimum position. We can't afford any distractions!
Gru
Get me Perkins.
Dr. Nefario
We've been working on this one for a while. It's an Anti-Gravity Serum.
Dr. Nefario
I meant to close that. He'll be all right, I'm sure.
Gru
Do the effects wear off?
Dr. Nefario
Err, so far, no. No, they don't.
Dr. Nefario
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!
Dr. Nefario
Oh, yes. 'Cause I was wondering under what circumstances would we use this.
Dr. Nefario
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.
Dr. Nefario
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?
Dr. Nefario
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]
Dr. Nefario
Good.
Dr. Nefario
I did it for your own good. Come on, let’s go get that Moon.
Gru
Right.
