A scene from Despicable Me 2010
Gru

[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]

Mr. Perkins

Well done, Gru. Rather impressive.

Gru

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!

Margo

[not paying attention]

Uh-huh. Hey, can we order pizza?

Edith

All right then.

Gru

[picks up Agnes and puts her back]

Pizza? You just had lunch!

Edith

Not now, for dinner.

Gru

Dinner?! Just fine, fine, fine, whatever! Just get back in there.

Margo

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!

Gru

I'll stuff you all in the crust!

Agnes

[giggles]

You're funny!

Gru

Just don't come out of that room again! [closes the door; to Mr. Perkins] Alright. Sorry about that. Where were we?

Mr. Perkins

You were sitting on the toilet.

Gru

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]

Mr. Perkins

You don't seem terribly focused, Gru.

Gru

Believe me, I am completely focused. I-

Edith

Hello? Whoa! That guy is huge!

Agnes

Are we on TV?

Mr. Perkins

What are those? Children?!

Gru

[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. Perkins

Mr. Gru?

Gru

[makes karate sounds, but arrives with a frozen body, with the exception of his head, arms, and buttocks]

As I was saying...

Mr. Perkins

No need to continue, I've seen quite enough.

Gru

But my plan--

Mr. Perkins

Is a great plan, I love everything about your plan, except for one thing: you.

Young Gru

[Gru remembers some of his memories]

Look, Mom! I drew a picture of me landing on the moon!

Gru's Mom

[looks at Gru's picture, but turns back]

Ehh.

Young Gru

Look, Mom! I made a prototype of the rocket out of macaroni!

Gru's Mom

[looks at he macaroni prototype, but regrets]

Ehh.

Young Gru

[excitedly]

Look, Mom! I made the real rocket, based on the macaroni prototype! [presses a button and sends the rocket into space]

Gru's Mom

[looks at Gru's rocket as it flies off]

Ooo... [looks back at Gru] Ehh.

Gru

[Reality hits him; he falls down and breaks the ice encasing him; confused]

I... don't understand.

Mr. Perkins

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.

Gru

But I--

Mr. Perkins

It's over. Goodbye, Gru. [crushes his apple and the TV turns off]
