Evelyn quotes from Incredibles 2 (2018)

Winston

Let me ask you something. What is the main reason you were all forced underground?

Bob

Ignorance.

Winston

Perception. [Walks to the screen as it shows several footages] Take today, for example, with the Underminer. Difficult situation, you were faced with a lot of hard decisions.

Bob

Ugh, tell me about it.

Winston

I can't. Because I didn't see it. Neither did anyone else, so when you fight bad guys, like today, people don't see the fight or what led up to it. They see what politicians tell them to see. They see destruction, and they see you. So if we want to change people's perceptions about superheroes, we need you to share your perceptions with the world.

Helen

How do we do that?

Evelyn

With cameras.

Winston

We need you to share your perceptions with the world.

Helen

How do we do that?

Evelyn

We embed tiny cameras, like those, into your supersuits.
[Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl, and Frozone looks at the mini-camera on their access card as they appear on the screen] .

Helen

Wow! So small, and the picture is outstanding!

Evelyn

Thanks. Designed 'em myself.

Winston

We've got resources, lobbyists, world wide connections, and, very important, insurance.

Bob

Insurance is key.

Winston

All we need now are the superest superheros. It means you three. Come on! Help me make all Supers legal again!

Bob

This sounds GREAT! Let's get this goin'! What's my first assignment?

Winston

That enthusiasm is golden. Hold on to it, but to our first move, well... [turns to Helen] Elastigirl is our best play.

Bob

Better than me? [Helen clears her throat, glaring at her husband with a strict look] I mean, she's good. She's, uh... really a credit to her, but uh... you know? You know?

Winston

With great respect, let's not test the whole "insurance will pay for everything" idea on the first go-round, okay?
[Elastigirl and Frozone chuckle softly] .

Bob

W-wait a minute! You're saying what? I'm... messy?

Winston

Well, Evelyn did a cost-benefit analysis, comparing all your last five years crime-fighting before going underground. Elastigirl's numbers are self-explanatory.

Bob

Well, it's not a fair comparison. "Heavyweight problems need heavyweight solutions".

Winston

Of course, we're gonna solve all kind of problems together, after the perfect launch with Elastigirl!

Evelyn

So, what do you say?

Helen

What do I say? [chuckles nervously] I... don't know.

Bob

What do you mean you "don't know"? A few hours ago, you were saying it was over and being a superhero was a fantasy. Now you get the offer of a lifetime and you don't know?

Helen

It's not that simple, Bob. I wanna protect the kids.

Bob

So do I.

Helen

From jail, Bob!

Bob

And how do you do that? By turning down a chance to change the law that forced them to hide what they are?

Helen

They haven't decided what they are. They're still kids.

Bob

Kids with powers, which makes them Supers. Whether they decide to use those powers or not, this will benefit them.

Helen

Look, it's not a good time to be away. Dash is having trouble with homework. Vi's worried about her first date with that boy she likes, Tony. And Jack-Jack...

Bob

Jack-Jack? What's wrong with him?

Helen

Okay, nothing's wrong with Jack-Jack. But even a normal baby needs a lot of attention. I'm just not sure I can leave.

Bob

Of course, you can leave. You've got to, so that I — we can be Supers again. So our kids can have that choice.

Helen

So you can have that choice?

Bob

All right, yes! So I can have that choice, and I would do a GREAT JOB! Regardless of what Deavor's pie charts say! [Sighs] But they want you. [With a deep breath] And you'll do... a great... job. Too.

Helen

That was excruciating to watch. [Bob chuckles] I can't lie to you. It's nice to be wanted. Flattering, you know? But...

Bob

What's the choice? One: do this right, get well paid, we're out of the motel, and things get better for all Supers, including our kids. Or two: I find a job in two weeks or we're homeless.

Helen

You know it's crazy, right? To help my family, I gotta leave it. To fix the law, I gotta break it.

Bob

You'll be great.

Helen

I know I will. But what about you? We have kids.

Bob

I'll watch the kids, no problem. Easy.

Helen

Easy, huh? You're adorable. Well, if there is a problem, I'll drop this thing and come right back.

Bob

You won't need to. I've got it. You go, do this thing! [Lays down] Do it so... [Under his breath] I can do it better. [Helen hits his face with a pillow]
[In Winston Deavor's office the phone is ringing. He picks it up] .

Winston

Deavor here.

Helen

This is Elastigirl. I'm in.

.

Evelyn

I would resist the temptation to stretch. The temperature around you is well below freezing. Try to stretch and you'll break.

Helen

So, you're the Screenslaver.

Evelyn

Yes... and no. Let's say that I created the character and pre-recorded the messages.

Helen

Does Winston know?

Evelyn

That I'm the Screenslaver? Of course not. Can you imagine what Mr. Free Enterprise would do with my hypnotic technology?

Helen

Worse than what you're doing?

Evelyn

Hey, I'm using the technology to destroy people's trust in it. Like I'm using superheroes.

Helen

Who did I put in jail?

Evelyn

Pizza delivery guy. Seemed the right height and build. He gave you a pretty good fight. I should say, I gave you a good fight through him.

Helen

But it doesn't bother you that an innocent man's in jail?!

Evelyn

Eh, he was surly, and the pizza was cold.

Helen

I counted on you.

Evelyn

That's why you failed.

Helen

What?

Evelyn

Why would you count on me? Because I built you a bike? Because my brother knows the words of your theme song? We don't know each other!

Helen

But you can count on me anyway!

Evelyn

I'm supposed to, aren't I? Because you have some strange abilities and a shiny costume, the rest of us are supposed to put our lives into your gloved hands. That's what my father believed. When our home was broken into, my mother wanted to hide. Begged my father to use the safe room, but Father insisted they call his superhero friends. He died — pointlessly, stupidly — waiting for heroes to save the day.

Helen

But why would you...? Your brother...

Evelyn

...is a child! He remembers the time when we had parents and superheroes! So, like a child, Winston conflates the two. Mommy and Daddy went away because Supers went away. Our sweet parents were fools to put their lives in anybody else's hands! Superheroes keep us weak!

Helen

Are you gonna kill me?

Evelyn

Nah. [smiles smugly] Using you is better. You're going to help me make Supers illegal forever.
[with a remote control, she turns on the hypno-goggles and puts Helen under her control]

Evelyn

The fact that you saved me doesn't make you right. [the police officer puts her in the car]

Helen

But it does make you alive.

Winston

And I'm grateful for that.

Helen

I'm sorry, but she'll go to prison.

Violet

Well, I'm sorry she's rich and will probably get no more than a slap on the wrist.

Winston

First of all, Violet, I like you. And who knows what the future will bring, but I have a good feeling about all of you.

Lucius

Hmm, "good feeling". Should we be worried? [Bob chuckles]

Helen

You guys get the next shift. I'm beat. [picks up Jack-Jack and walks off]

W-what's going on?! What did I do?! What did you guys do with me?!

That's right, punk. Blame your system. Right, Elastigirl?

Elastigirl

Your tracker worked like a charm, Evelyn. You're a genius.

Evelyn

Oh, shucks. I'm just the genius behind the genius.

Evelyn

Come with me, Winston. [takes her brother to the elevator]

Winston

Did I faint?

Evelyn

You'll be safe here.

Winston

Safe? Safe from what? [the elevator takes them up to a plane connected to the ship] Where are the diplomats? Th-The supers?

Evelyn

Still hypnotized.

Winston

What have you done?!

Elastigirl/Helen

Evelyn! She's escaping!

Well, go after her. Finish your mission.

Elastigirl/Helen

I can't just go! What about the kids?! Jack-Jack, who's gonna...

Violet

Mom! Go. We've got this.

Elastigirl/Helen

Voyd, come with me.

Bob/Mr. Incredible

I'll go shut down the engine.

Frozone/Lucius

I'll try to slow the ship from the bow.

Dash

Wait, someone's missing. Where's the crusher guy?

Evelyn

You know what's sad? If it weren't for your core beliefs, I think we could have been good friends.

At least I have… have core beliefs…

So, Dash.

I am going to the rudder. Once I turned the ship, you hit the pull up button, please.

Dash

Okay, Daddy!

Now, LOWER ME DOOOOOWWWNN!!!!! Oof!

Evelyn

The reputations of superheroes are ruined. You will never become legal. Ever!

Elastigirl/Helen

Never?

Evelyn

No!

Elastigirl/Helen

Ever?

Evelyn

No!

Elastigirl/Helen

Not even a little smidgy-widgy?

Evelyn

Oh, hypoxia. When you don't have enough oxygen, things seem get really silly for you, shall we?

Elastigirl/Helen

*gasp*

Ngngngh! Ooh! Oop-oop-oop-oop-oop-oop-oop! Oooh...!

Evelyn

Things get sillier and sillier and sillier, and then you died.

Elastigirl/Helen

I don't wanna die.

Evelyn

Ah, nobody does. Really. Not such a bad way to go.
[Helen then picks up a flare gun and blows Evelyn out of the jet]
