The Emoji Movie quotes
Page 2 of 4Alex made an appointment at the phone store.
Alex's appointment! He's deleting the phone!
Hi! It's so good to see you again! Call me!
Fellas, I'm afraid this is last call.
Alex trashed the Just Dance app, and our Bots are offline, and it's giving me a real headache.
I am so angry. I really need to stay happy. Can we please lighten the mood? [chuckles]
No one can resist una fiesta! ♪ Olé! ♪
Not that happy. [pushes Flamenca back outside] We've only got 4 hours before Alex's phone appointment. If they find a malfunction on the phone, we are all gonna be WIPED! [a 4-hour timer starts ticking down behind her; all other emojis gasp in shock]
She said "wiped". [wheezes]
Aim higher, Steven.
Gene [narrating]: The world we live in... It's so wondrous, mysterious, even... magical. No. N-n-no, not that world. I meant... this one - the smartphone. Each system and program and app are its own little planet of perfect technology, all providing services so necessary, so crucial, so unbelievably profound.
Look who just sent me a text.
Addie McCallister? Must be a mistake... or a joke... or a scam! Don't send him your Social Security number!
Dude, shh!! [pushes Travis aside] She's right there! [pulls out his phone to text]
Gene [narrating]: That's our user, Alex. And, like every freshman in high school, his whole life, everything, revolves around his phone.
[Cuts to Alex's classroom] Gene [narrating]: And as the pace of life gets faster and faster...
Phones down in 5!
...and attention spans get shorter and shorter and... You're probably not even listening to me right now. Who has the time to type out actual words? And that's where we come in, the most important invention in the history of communication...
[Zoom in on the texting app to Textopolis] Gene [narrating]: Emojis! That's my home, Textopolis. Here, each of us does one thing, and we have to nail it every time. The Christmas Tree just has to stand there all festive.
Merry Christmas!
It's still September, Tim!
The Princesses.
Oh, I am so ugly and hard!
Gene [narrating]: They just got to wear their crowns and keep their hair combed.
You guys, we are so pretty!
[Pans through showing more emojis doing their jobs] Gene [narrating]: Devil, Poop, Thumbs Up... They just show up, and they're good to go. But for the faces... the pressure is on. Crier always has to cry, even if he's just won the lottery.
Hooray, I'm a billionare! [sobs more]
Gene [narrating]: The Laughter is always laughing, even if he's just broken his arm.
I bone! [laughs more as he is brought to the ambulance]
[Shows Gene in his apartment, facing a mirror and trying out different neckties] Gene [narrating]: Now, me? I'm Gene Meh. So, I got to be totally over it all the time, you know, like, "Meh, who cares?" Which is not as easy as it sounds... [singing, flips between happy and unamused or "meh" faces] I got to be meh...I got to be meh... [comes out of his apartment, inhales and puts on his meh face as he sees a donut emoji] Mornin', Mrs. D. I see you have the little minis with you. [sees her baby donuts in her pram] Oh, they're so... cute...! [so entranced by their cuteness that he struggles and puts on a hysterical laughter face] THAT IS SO ADORABLE, I CAN'T TAKE IT!!![gives a blowing kiss face, they start screaming loudly as Mrs. D takes them away in anger]
Now I'll never get them to sleep! Stick to your one face, weirdo!
Ole! Ole! Oh no! Oh no!
Gene [narrating]: And it's hard to always act blase, when living in Textopolis is just so exciting. [British accent, to 3 monkey emojis] Hello, good simians. Those are some sharp attaches.
Yes, well, we have business to attend to.
What kind of business?
Monkey business.
I sounded British! Haha! [puts on meh face] Meh... [normal] Oh, that was really good! [meh face, giggling] Meh...meh-heh-heh-heh... [normal] That was a great...
What'cha doing there, mate?
Practicing! Today is my first day on the phone. Boy. I'm gonna be so "meh"! What are you gonna do?
Aw, me and the boys are gonna throw ourselves on the barbie! Here's my sauce now!
Sorry, emoticons! [helps the :P emoticon up] I hate knocking over the elderly. Here, let me help, let me help. [helps up the >:I emoticon]
Ohh...my colon...!
Hey! My eyes are up here, pal?!
Whoo! [lands] Right on time. [breathes and puts on a meh face; other emojis run away until he approaches an elephant emoji while a hysterical laughter emoji cracks up]
So, last week, Alex sends me next to this guy! [he is standing next to a gas emoji]
Huh? Huh?
Haha, that kid! Where does he get this stuff?!? [keeps laughing]
Why are you laughing, freak?! [keeps laughing]
[Gene stops laughing and he frowns sadly as he heads for the doors] Gene [narrating]: Now, unlike me, my parents are total pros.
Gene, please tell me you weren't laughing just now... In public?
Uh...
Oh, he was. I remember.
Let's go somewhere more private.
Oh, I’m never eating another piece of candy ever again. [suddenly throws up one corn candy]
Welcome to the world inside your phone where everyone is expected to act 1 way their whole life.
Hey, Gene, ready to try out your new cube? In 3, 2...
Good, 'cause we got incoming. Looks like it's gonna be Gene.
