Edith When we got adopted by a bald guy, I thought this would be more like Annie.

It poked a hole in my juice box.
Edith [when interrupted by Gru when playing with toilet paper; points to Jerry the Minion]
It was your cousin's idea.
Edith All right then. [to Margo and Agnes]
Scenes with Edith
7 scenes
[Gru approaches his door, holding a mace in one of his hands. He peeks through the key hole, seeing three little girls]
Hello! Cookies for sale!
Edith All right then.
Go away, I'm not home.
Uh, yes you are. I heard you.
[Edith jumps in front of the peephole and sticks her tongue out at Gru.] [gasps, dropping his club]
No, you didn't. This... [monotone] is a recording.
Yes, it is. Watch this. [monotone] Leave a message. Beep. [Edith kicks the door] Ow!
[Margo leads Edith off the porch.] [still standing in front of Gru's door]
Goodbye, recorded message.
Hmm... I think I can live with that.
Edith Are these beds made out of bombs?
Yes, but they are very old and highly unlikely to blow up... but try not to toss and turn.
Edith [proud]
Cool.
[Gru is pressured into stopping at the amusement park; they pass by one stall] [seeing something off-screen]
Aah! Oh my gosh! Look at that fluffy unicorn! He's so fluffy, I'm gonna die!
Edith Follow me!
No, no, no. No-no-no-no.
C'mon!
Carnival Barker
Well, it's not for sale. But all you gotta do, to win it, is knock down that little spaceship there. Ha! It's easy! [points to a small plastic spaceship, which has a scary face on it; Gru sighs and hands him a dollar. The girls play, but lose]
Again!
Edith Ah, come on. One more time.
Just one more! I accidentally closed my eyes.
[Gru gives in and hands over another dollar. The girls play, and this time, Agnes shoots a ball that hits the ship, but doesn't knock it over. The girls cheer until the sign overhead blinks the words "STOP", then "YOU LOSE!"; Edith grieves in disappointment, and Margo looks confused]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! What was that? She hit that! I saw that with my own eyes!
Carnival Barker
Hey buddy, let me explain something to you. You see that little tin spaceship? Ya see how it's not knocked over? Do you know what that means, professor? It means you don't get the unicorn! [Gru frowns] Oooh! Uh-oh, someone's got a frowny face! [to Agnes] Boo, better luck next time!
[Agnes, her lip trembling and her eyes welling up with tears, looks at Gru. Gru's blood begins to boil.]
Okay... my turn.
[He gives the Carnival Barker another dollar and the girls step aside. Gru whips out a blaster gun, aims, and fires; the Carnival Barker ducks; there is an explosion, the spaceship turns to ash and the Carnival Barker spins dizzily.]
Knocked over!
Edith [laughing]
Yeah!
That...was awesome.
Edith You blew up the whole thing!
Let's go, let's try another game!
[Gru turns on the TV which shows Mr. Perkins]
Sorry to bother you Mr. Perkins, but I figured that you would want to see this! [shows the shrink ray] Huh? [Jerry manages to get off the couch, but Kevin, who is still sitting on it, is shrunk]
Well done, Gru. Rather impressive.
Now, the rest of the plan is simple. [shows a picture] I fly to the moon... [shows another picture] ...I shrink the moon... [shows another picture] ...I grab the moon... [shows a poorly drawn picture, signed by Edith] I sit on the toilet... Wait, what?! [the girls laugh; nervous] Sorry. Sorry! Could you, uh... excuse me for just one second? [to the girls; whisper-yells] I told you not to touch my things, I told you, I told you, I told you a thousand times!
Edith All right then.
Edith Not now, for dinner.
Dinner?! Just fine, fine, fine, whatever! Just get back in there.
Oh, uh, can we get stuffed crust?
Edith, Agnes, Stuart and Jerry
[Gru suddenly stops with an irate look on his face]
Ooh, stuffed crust!
I'll stuff you all in the crust!
Just don't come out of that room again! [closes the door; to Mr. Perkins] Alright. Sorry about that. Where were we?
You were sitting on the toilet.
No, no, no. I'm sorry. That was a little attempt to humor. I know how much you like to laugh... [Mr. Perkins looks at him angrily] ...inside. Now I was saying... [notices the door was open]
You don't seem terribly focused, Gru.
Believe me, I am completely focused. I-
Edith Hello? Whoa! That guy is huge!
Are we on TV?
What are those? Children?!
[furious]
What are you doing?! I told you to stay out of here! [chases the girls out of the room, then backpedals when Edith and Agnes aim the freeze ray at him] No, no, no!
Edith Freeze ray!
Mr. Gru?
[makes karate sounds, but arrives with a frozen body, with the exception of his head, arms, and buttocks]
As I was saying...
No need to continue, I've seen quite enough.
But my plan--
Is a great plan, I love everything about your plan, except for one thing: you.
[Gru remembers some of his memories]
Look, Mom! I drew a picture of me landing on the moon!
Look, Mom! I made a prototype of the rocket out of macaroni!
[excitedly]
Look, Mom! I made the real rocket, based on the macaroni prototype! [presses a button and sends the rocket into space]
[Reality hits him; he falls down and breaks the ice encasing him; confused]
I... don't understand.
Let's face reality, Gru. You've been at this for far too long, with far too little success. We're gonna put our faith, our money, into a...well, a younger villain.
But I--
It's over. Goodbye, Gru. [crushes his apple and the TV turns off]
[trying to put the girls in bed]
Come on now. It's bed time. [to Agnes] Did you brush your teeth? [Agnes nods] Let me smell, Let me smell... [Agnes opens her mouth; sniffs, but nearly gags] You did not! [Edith suddenly lands on him] Put on your PJs. Hold still. Okay, seriously! Seriously! This is beddie-bye time, right now. I'm not kidding around. I mean it!
Edith But we're not tired!
Well, I am tired!
Pretty please?
The physical appearance of the please makes no difference. It is still no, so go to sleep.
Edith But we can't! We're all hyper!
And without a bedtime story, we'll just keep getting up and bugging you... All night long.
He's not going to kiss us goodnight, Agnes. [turns off her light]
I like him. He's nice.
Edith But scary. [turns off her light]
...Like Santa! [turns off her light]
Okay, girls, time for bed.
Edith Ah, come on, we want a story.
Oh no, sorry, that book was accidentally destroyed maliciously.
[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.
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."
Edith [points to the page]
Hey, that one looks like me!
[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.
