Lucius quotes from The Incredibles (2004)

Lucius

I don't see anyone from the old days, Bob. Just you. And we're pushing our luck as it is.

Lucius

It means it's hot! And I'm dehydrated, Bob!

Lucius

There is no water in this air! What's your excuse, run out of muscle?

Lucius

We look like bad guys! Incompetent bad guys!

Freeze!

Lucius

I'm thirsty.

I said "freeze"!

Lucius

I'm just getting a drink. [takes the cup and drinks]

Okay, you had your drink. Now, I want you to...

Lucius

I know, I know. Freeze. [freezes the cop]

Is this on?

That's fine.

I can break through walls, I just can't...

That's fine.

I can't get this on.

So, Mr. Incredible, do you have a secret identity?

Every superhero has a secret identity. I don't know a single one who doesn't. Who wants the pressure of being super all the time?

Of course I have a secret identity. Can you see me in this at the supermarket? Come on. Who'd wanna go shopping as Elastigirl, y'know what I mean?

Super Ladies, they're always tryna tell you their secret identity. Think it'll strengthen the relationship or somethin' like that. I said, "Girl, I don't wanna know about your mild-mannered alter ego." or anything like that. I mean, you tell me you're a super-mega-ultra-lightnin'-babe, that's alright with me. I'm good. I'm good.

No matter how many times you save the world, it always manages to get back in jeopardy again. Sometimes I just want it to stay saved, you know? For a little bit. I feel like the maid. I just cleaned up this mess. Can we keep it clean for ten minutes?

I could get to that point.

Please?

Wait, no, don't get up. We're not finished.

Sometimes I think I'd just like the simple life, you know? Relax a little and raise a family.

Settle down? Are you kidding? I'm at the top of my game! I'm right up there with the big dogs! Girls, come on. Leave the saving of the world to the men? I don't think so. I don't think so. [fades to black. On-screen Text: The Incredibles. Sirens wail as lights flash, we're in the middle of a classic car chase: A police car in hot pursuit of another car driven by armed bank robbers. The robber riding shotgun primes his sub-machine gun and unloads on the cop car, which swerves into oncoming traffic to avoid the hail of bullets. Bob Parr, a dashing, golden-haired man in his thirties listens to his radio. If he looks familiar, it's because he is the same man we saw earlier: Mr. Incredible, minus the mask and super-suit. Suddenly the music is interrupted by an announcement]

We interrupt for an important bulletin. A deadly high-speed pursuit between police and armed gunmen is underway, traveling northbound on San Pablo Avenue.

Bob (Mr. Incredible)

Yeah, I've got time.
[He presses another button: "Auto-drive" and selects "Merge Pursuit". Bob takes his hands off the wheel and a rapid series of automated actions begin: the seat back drops flat; the passenger seat folds against the window as the driver's seat slides to the center. Bob raises his arms as metal bands lock around his waist, then separate, sliding apart toward his head and his toes, removing his clothes to reveal his slick, brightly colored Mr. Incredible super-suit underneath. He presses another button: the car's exterior converts into the coolest retro-futuristic vehicle ever seen: The Incredi-Bile. Mr. Incredible looks up: Through the windshield we see an old lady waving him down]

Mr. Incredible. Um, Mr. Incredible...

Bob (Mr. Incredible)

What is it, ma'am?

My cat, Squeaker, won't come down.

Bob (Mr. Incredible)

Certainly, ma'am! But I suggest you stand clear. There could be trouble.

No, no. He's quite tame.

Bob (Mr. Incredible)

Let go now! [cat yowls]
[The cop car pulls back in behind the robbers' car. The cops are firing now and closing in. Mr. Incredible and the cat tree. Nervously checking the pursuit on his video screen, Mr. Incredible rips the tree out of the ground. He tips it, leaning it across to the old lady just as the car chase squeals into view at the end of the block. Mr. Incredible sees this and hastily shakes the tree, trying to dislodge Squeaker. The car chase. The cars swerve into view now, bordering the park that Mr. Incredible is in. Mr. Incredible sees them and shakes Squeaker harder. Chase cars close in. Mr. Incredible. Car chase. Squeaker. Chase. Squeaker, one final shake: Squeaker drops into the Old Lady's hands. Mr. Incredible raises the tree up and slams it down on the hood of the crooks' car, squashing it like a bug. Mr. Incredible tamps down the loose dirt at the base of the freshly replanted tree and smiles at his admirers]

Thank you, Mr. Incredible. You've done it again.

Yeah, you're the best.

Bob (Mr. Incredible)

No, I'm just here to help.

Attention all units. We have a tour bus robbery...

Bob (Mr. Incredible)

Tour bus robbery. I've still got time. Officers. Ma'am. Squeaker.

Cool! Ready for take-off!

Bob (Mr. Incredible)

What the...? Who are you supposed to be?

Well, I'm lncrediBoy.

Bob (Mr. Incredible)

What? No. You're that kid from the fan club. [stammering] Brophy-Br-Brody-Bu-Buddy! [sternly] Buddy.

My name is IncrediBoy.

Bob (Mr. Incredible)

Look, I've been nice, I've stood for photos, signed every scrap of paper you pushed at me, but this is...

No, you don't have to worry about training me. I know all your moves, your crime fighting style, favorite catch phrases, everything! I'm your number one fan! [The passenger door whooshes open and IncrediBoy is ejected from the car. Mr. Incredible fires the afterburners and peels off, leaving Buddy standing alone] Hey! Hey, wait!

Bob (Mr. Incredible)

You know. [the snatcher looks up. He grins] you can tell a lot about a woman by the contents of her purse, but maybe that’s not what you had in mind.

Hey, look!

Bob (Mr. Incredible)

Elastigirl.

Helen (Elastigirl)

Mr. lncredible.

Bob (Mr. Incredible)

No, it's all right. I've got him.

Helen (Elastigirl)

Sure, you've got him. I just took him out for you.

Bob (Mr. Incredible)

Sure, you took him out. His attention was on me.

Helen (Elastigirl)

A fact I exploited to do my job.

Bob (Mr. Incredible)

My job, you mean.

Helen (Elastigirl)

A simple thank you will suffice.

Bob (Mr. Incredible)

Thanks, but I don't need any help.

Helen (Elastigirl)

Whatever happened to "ladies first"?

Bob (Mr. Incredible)

Well, whatever happened to equal treatment?

Hey, look, the lady got me first. [Elastigirl coldcocks the crook with one stretched punch]

Helen (Elastigirl)

Well, we could share, you know.

Bob (Mr. Incredible)

I work alone.

Helen (Elastigirl)

Well, I think you need to be more...

Helen (Elastigirl)

...flexible.

Bob (Mr. Incredible)

Are...you doin' anything later?

Helen (Elastigirl)

I have a previous engagement.

Bob (Mr. Incredible)

Now, you just stay here. They usually pick up the garbage in an hour.

Hey, Incredible!

Bob (Mr. Incredible)

Hey, Frozone!

Shouldn't you be getting ready?

Bob (Mr. Incredible)

I still got time.

He's gonna jump!
[Mr. Incredible runs to the edge of the building and looks down. A large crowd is gathered on the streets below. Mr. Incredible follows their upwards gaze to the roof of a skyscraper with a man, Oliver Sansweet, who stands poised to jump, then does. Mr. Incredible quickly gauges distances, and then dives off the edge, making a spectacular leap, and tackles him in mid-air and then breaking through an enormous window on the far side, and tumbles to the floor in a shower of glass. Safe]

I think you broke something.

Bob (Mr. Incredible)

Well, with counseling, I think you'll come to forgive me. [senses something] Wait a minute...
[Mr. Incredible slides Sansweet over to a desk and props him up against it] [His acute senses turn his attention to the hallway, toward the elevators. As he follows his ears, we become aware of a sound: a tiny series of regular beeps. Mr. Incredible locates a spot on the wall and presses one ear against it. The beeps accelerate. Mr. Incredible starts to push away and... BOOM! The hallway is filled with smoke and debris. A silhouette emerges from the newly blown hole in the wall; a tall, rangy man in a mime costume carries two stuffed duffel bags. This is Bomb Voyage. He surveys the scene with a wicked smile. A vault door is embedded into the wall directly opposite the hole. It moves aside, revealing Mr. Incredible behind it, dazed but unharmed. He sees the mime and growls]

Bob (Mr. Incredible)

Bomb Voyage.

Monsieur Incroyable! [Translation: Mr. Incredible!]

And IncrediBoy!

IncrediBoy?

Hey, hey! Aren't you curious about how I get around so fast? See? I have these rocket boots.

Bob (Mr. Incredible)

Go home, Buddy.

What?

Bob (Mr. Incredible)

Now.

Petit mufe va! [Translation: Little oaf...]

Can we talk? You always, always say be true to yourself, but you never say which part of yourself to be true to. Well, I've finally figured out who I am. I am your ward...IncrediBoy!

Bob (Mr. Incredible)

And now, you have officially carried it too far, Buddy.

This is because I don't have powers, isn't it? Well not every superhero has powers, you know. You can be super without them. [re: his rocket boots] I built these. I can fly. Can you fly?

Bob (Mr. Incredible)

Fly home, Buddy. I work alone.

Et ton costume est complètement ridicule! [Translation: And your outfit is totally ridiculous!]

Just give me one chance! [to Bomb Voyage] I'll show you. I'll go get the police.

Bob (Mr. Incredible)

Buddy, don't!

It'll only take a second, really.

Bob (Mr. Incredible)

NO, STOP! There's a bomb!

Let go! You're wrecking my flight pattern! I can do this if you let go!

Bob (Mr. Incredible)

Will you just...?? I'm trying to help! Stop!

Let go of my cape!
[Mr. Incredible finally grabs hold of the bomb and flings it free. Both he and the bomb fall onto the elevated train tracks below. The bomb explodes, blowing away a large section of track. Mr. Incredible groggily looks up; A train is coming. And heading straight for the section of track that is no longer there. Mr. Incredible sets his jaw and starts running toward the oncoming train, leaping the chasm to intercept the train before it gets there. Mr. Incredible pulls up and plants himself. The expression on his face says it all: this is going to hurt. The train hits; Mr. Incredible taking the full impact. Rail ties break behind Mr. Incredible's feet, spraying in all directions as Mr. Incredible, miraculously, wrestles the train to a stop]

Bob (Mr. Incredible)

Take this one home. And make sure his mom knows what he's been doing.

I can help you. You're making a mista---hey!

Bob (Mr. Incredible)

The injured jumper. You sent paramedics?

They've already picked him up.

Bob (Mr. Incredible)

The blast in that building was caused by Bomb Voyage who I caught in the act robbing the vault. Now, we might be able to nab him if we set up a perimeter.

You mean he got away?

Bob (Mr. Incredible)

Well, yeah. Skippy here made sure of that.

IncrediBoy!

Bob (Mr. Incredible)

You're not affiliated with me!!

Bob (Mr. Incredible)

Holy smokes, I'm late. Listen, I've gotta be somewhere.

What about Bomb Voyage?

Bob (Mr. Incredible)

Any other night, I'd go after him myself, but I really gotta go. But don't worry. We'll get him! Eventually!

Bob

Hey, is the night still young?

Lucius

You're very late.

Bob

How do I look? Good?

Lucius

Oh, the mask! You still got the mask.

Bob

Showtime.

Robert Parr, will you have this woman to be your lawful wedded wife?

Helen

You're late. When you asked me if I was doing anything later, I didn't realize you'd actually forgotten. I thought it was playful banter.

Bob

It was playful banter.

Helen

Cutting it kinda close, don't ya think?

Bob

You need to be more...flexible.

Helen

I love you, but if we're gonna make this work, you've gotta be more than Mr. Incredible. You know that. Don't you?

...so long as you both shall live?

Bob

I do.

I pronounce this couple husband and wife.

Helen

As long as we both shall live. No matter what happens.

Bob

Hey, come on. We’re superheroes. What could happen?

Dash

Mom. You're making weird faces again.

Helen

Mmm. No, I'm not.

Bob

You make weird faces, honey.

Helen

Do ya have to read at the table?

Bob

Uh-huh. Yeah.

Helen

Smaller bites, Dash. Yikes! Bob, could you help the carnivore cut his meat?

Dash

Ow.

Helen

Dash, ya have something you wanna tell your father about school?

Dash

Well, we dissected a frog.

Helen

Dash got sent to the office again.

Bob

Good. Good.

Helen

No Bob, that's bad.

Bob

What?

Helen

Dash got sent to the office again.

Bob

What? What for?

Dash

Nothing.

Helen

He put a tack on the teacher's chair... during class.

Dash

Nobody saw me. You could barely see it on the tape.

Bob

They caught you on tape and you still got away with it? Whoa! You must have been booking. How fast did you think you were going?

Helen

Bob! We are not encouraging this.

Bob

I'm not encouraging, I'm just asking how fast...

Helen

Honey!

Bob

Great. First the car, now I gotta pay to fix the table...

Helen

The car? What happened to the car?

Bob

Here. I'm getting a new plate. [He leaves angrily and goes into the kitchen]

Helen

So, how about you, Vi? How was school?

Violet

Nothin' to report.

Helen

You've hardly touched your food.

Violet

I'm not hungry for meatloaf.

Helen

Well, it is leftover night. We have steak, pasta. What are ya hungry for?

Dash

Tony Rydinger.

Violet

Shut up!

Dash

Well, you are.

Violet

I said, shut up, you little insect!

Dash

Well, she is.

Helen

DO NOT SHOUT AT THE TABLE! Honey!

Bob

Kids! Listen to your mother.

Dash

She'd eat if we were having "Tony loaf".

Violet

'THAT'S IT!' [furiously jumps over the table and angrily starts fighting with Dash] That's it!

Helen

Stop it!

Dash

You’re gonna be toast!

Helen

Stop running in the house. Sit down!

Dash

'Ow! Hey, no force fields!'

Violet

You started it.

Helen

You sit down! You sit down! Violet! [Dash and Violet go under the table to fight with Helen’s arms still attached; Jack-Jack is clearly enjoying this] Ow! Ow!

Bob

Simon J. Paladino, longtime advocate of superhero rights, is missing? Gazerbeam.

Helen

BOB! IT'S TIME TO ENGAGE! Do something! Don’t just stand there! I need you to... intervene!

Bob

You want me to intervene? Okay!

Bob

I'm intervening, I'm intervening!

Helen

Violet, let go of your brother!

Hello?

Bob

Get the door.

Dash

Hey, Lucius!

Lucius

Hey, Speedo! Hey, Helen. Vi, Jack-Jack.

Bob

He-hey! Ice of you to drop by.

Lucius

Ha! Never heard that one before.
Dash [gargling]: Oh, Lucius! [He spits water in the air.]

Lucius

Whoa!

Lucius

Ah-ha.

Dash

Aw... I like it when it shatters.

Bob

I'll be back later.

Helen

Hey, where are you two going?

Bob

It's Wednesday.

Helen

Oh. Bowling night. Say hello to Honey for me, Lucius.

Lucius

Will do. Good night, Helen. Good night, kids.

Helen

Don't think you've avoided talking about your trip to the principal's office, young man. Your father and I are still gonna discuss it.

Dash

I'm not the only kid who's been sent to the office, you know.

Helen

Other kids don't have superpowers. Now, it's perfectly normal...

Violet

Normal? What do you know about normal? What does anyone in this family know about normal?

Helen

Now, wait a minute, young lady.

Violet

We act normal, mom! I wanna be normal! The only normal one is Jack-Jack, and he's not even toilet trained!!

Dash

Lucky. I meant about being normal.

Lucius

So now I'm in deep trouble. I mean, one more jolt of this death ray and I’m an epitaph. Somehow I managed to find cover and what does Baron Von Ruthless do?

Bob

He starts monologuing.

Lucius

He starts monologuin'! He starts, like, this prepared speech about how feeble I am compared to him. How inevitable my defeat is, how the world will soon be his! Yada, yada, yada.

Bob

Yammerin'.

Lucius

Yammerin'! I mean, the guy has me on a platter, and he won’t shut up.

Municiberg, we have a 23-56...

Bob

23-56, what is that? Robbery?

Lucius

This is just sad.

Bob

Yeah, robbery. Wanna catch a robber?

Lucius

No. Tell you the truth, I'd rather go bowling. Look, what if we actually did what our wives think we're doing? Just to shake things up.

Mirage

He's not alone. The fat guy’s still with him. They’re just talking.

Lucius

What are we doin' here, Bob?

Bob

We're protecting people.

Lucius

Nobody asked us.

Bob

You need an invitation?

Lucius

I'd like one, yes. We keep sneakin' out to do this, and... you remember Gazerbeam?

Bob

Yeah. There was somethin' about him in the paper.

Lucius

He had trouble adjusting to civilian life, too.

Bob

When's the last time you saw him?

Lucius

I don't see anyone from the old days, Bob. Just you. And we're pushin' our luck as it is.

Bob

Oh, come on. Come on, come on.

Lucius

It was fun the first time, but if we keep doin' this, we’re gonna get—

We have a report on a fire...

Bob

A fire. We're close! [yelling] YEAH, BABY!

Lucius

We're gonna get caught.

Bob

WOOO-HOO!

Bob

Fire! Yeah!

Lucius

Is that everybody!?

Bob

Yeah, that's everyone!

Lucius

It better be. [He attempts to generate ice in vain]

Bob

Can't you put this out?

Lucius

I can't lay down a layer thick enough! It's evaporating too fast!

Bob

Well, what's that mean?

Lucius

It means it's hot! And I'm dehydrated, Bob!

Bob

You're out of ice? You can't run out of ice! I thought you used the water in the air!

Lucius

There is no water in this air! What's your excuse, run outta muscle?!

Bob

I just can't go smashing into walls! The building's getting weaker by the second! It's gonna come down on top of us!

Lucius

I wanted to go bowling!!!

Bob

All right! Stay right on my tail! This is gonna get hot!

Bob

Yeah....

Bob

Uh-oh.

Bob

Oh, good.

Lucius

Oh, now that ain’t right.

Lucius

WE LOOK LIKE BAD GUYS! INCOMPETENT BAD GUYS!!!

Bob

You can get water out of the air!

FREEZE! [They do] [Lucius, noticing a water cooler, picks up a paper cup and begins to fill it with water] FREEZE!

Lucius

I'm thirsty.

I SAID FREEZE!!!

Lucius

I’m just... getting... a drink. [He drinks the water]

Alright. You’ve had your drink.... Now I want you to...

Lucius

I know. I know... [drops the cup] Freeze. [He shoots a breeze of ice, freezing the officer and even the bullet]

Shots fired!

POLICE OFFICERS!

Lucius

That was way too close. We are not doing that again.

Verify you wanna switch targets? Over.

Mirage

Trust me. This is the one he’s been looking for.

Helen

I thought you'd be back by 11.

Bob

I said I'd be back later.

Helen

I assumed you’d be back later. If you came back at all...you’d be "back later".

Bob

Well, I’m back, okay?

Helen

Is this... rubble?

Bob

It was just a little workout. Just to stay loose.

Helen

You know how I feel about that, Bob! Darn you! We can’t blow our cover again!

Bob

The building was coming down anyway.

Helen

What?! You knocked down a building?!

Bob

It was on fire. Structurally unsound. It was coming down anyway.

Helen

Tell me you haven't been listening to the police scanner again.

Bob

Look, I performed a public service. You act like that’s a bad thing!

Helen

It is a bad thing, Bob! Uprooting our family again, so you can relive the glory days is a very bad thing!

Bob

Reliving the glory days is better than acting like they didn’t happen!

Helen

Yes! They happened! But this, our family, is what’s happening now, Bob. And you are missing this! I can’t believe you don’t wanna go to your own son’s graduation!

Bob

It’s not a graduation. He’s moving from the fourth grade to the fifth grade.

Helen

It’s a ceremony!

Bob

It’s psychotic! They keep creating new ways to celebrate mediocrity but if someone is genuinely exceptional, then—

Helen

This is not about you, Bob! This is about Dash!

Bob

You wanna do something for Dash?! Then let him actually compete! Let him go out for sports!

Helen

I will not be made the enemy here! You know why we can't do that!

Bob

BECAUSE HE'D BE GREAT!!

Helen

THIS IS NOT… ABOUT… YOU!

Bob

All right, Dash. I know you’re listening. Come on out.

Helen

Vi? You, too, young lady. [Violet materializes]

Bob

Come on. Come on out. It’s okay, kids. We’re just having a discussion.

Violet

Pretty loud discussion.

Bob

Yeah. But that’s okay. Because what’s important is that Mommy and I are always a team. We’re always united against, uh, the forces of, uh...

Helen

Pigheadedness?

Bob

I was gonna say evil or something.

Helen

We’re sorry we woke you. Everything’s okay. Go back to bed. It’s late.

Dash

Good night, Mom. Night, Dad.

Violet

Good night.

Helen

In fact, we should all be in bed. [walks over to the nearby lamp and turns it off as dog barks. Cut to the next day. Bob sits at his tiny desk. One look at his bleary face says it all: he hasn't slept all night. His intercom BEEPS. Bob glares at it a beat, then hits ANSWER.]
Woman [on phone]: Request claim on claim numbers 158183....

HAVEN'T YOU GOT HIM YET, HEY WHERE IS HE?!? PLEASE! RIGHT NOW!
Huph's Secretary: [over the intercom] Mr. Huph would like to talk to you in his office.

Bob

Now?
Huph's Secretary: Now...

Sit down, Bob.

I'm not happy, Bob. Not.... happy?!? [He gets up.] Ask me why.

Bob

Okay. Why?

Why what? Be specific, Bob.

Bob

Why are you unhappy?

Your customers make me unhappy.

Bob

What, you’ve gotten complaints?

Complaints I can handle. What I can't handle is your clients' inexplicable knowledge of Insuricare's inner workings!! They're experts! EXPERTS, Bob! Exploiting every loophole, dodgin' every obstacle, they're penetrating the bureaucracy!!

Bob

Did I do something illegal?

No.

Bob

Are you saying we shouldn’t help our customers?

The law requires that I answer no.

Bob

We're supposed to help people.

We're supposed to help OUR PEOPLE!! Starting with our stockholders, Bob, who's helping them out, huh?! [He sighs and regains composure.] You know, Bob... [He moves a letter that says:] [Memo: Policy Notification] [To: Employee] [From: Gilbert Huph] [Due to financial cutbacks, you will be expected to self-expense all office supplies, including but not limited to pencils, erasers, pens, paper, stationery, folders, staples, paper clips, brads, and photocopies. All parking will now be metered by the hour. Electricity consumption and all telephone charges will be deducted from your paycheck.] [The Board of Directors at Insuricare wishes to thank you for your selfless sacrifice through this time of financial uncertainty. It is because of you, the employee, that Insuricare has recorded its highest profit in years. Remember, a successful company makes for successful employees. Every penny you save is another penny that goes in.... [the rest is covered by Huph's finger] Salutations, Gilbert Huph] ...a company...

Bob

Is like an enormous clock.

...is like an enormous clo- Yes, precisely! It only works...if all the little cogs...mesh together! Now, a clock needs to be clean, well-lubricated and wound tight. The best clocks have jewel movements, cogs that fit, that cooperate by design. [chuckling] I’m being metaphorical, Bob....You know what I mean by cooperative cogs? Bob...?...Bob...?
[seriously grabs Bob by the chin and angrily pulls him toward him] LOOK AT ME WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU, PARR! [Outside the window, Bob sees a man is being mugged]

Bob

That man out there, he needs help!

Do NOT change the subject, Bob! We’re discussing YOUR! ATTITUDE!

Bob

He is getting mugged!

Well, let's hope we don't cover him!

Bob

I'll be right back. [puts his hand on the doorknob]

STOP RIGHT NOW, OR YOU'RE FIRED!? [Bob stops, crushes the doorknob and angrily turns red] [Huph grins evilly] Close the door. [Bob reluctantly does] Get over here...now. [Bob lets go of the doorknob, now crushed out of shape, and walks over to Huph.] [seriously] I'm not happy, Bob. Not happy. [Bob watches the mugger getting away]

Bob

He got away.

Good thing, too... heh! You were this close to losing your j- [Bob furiously grabs Huph by the throat and throws him through 5 office walls. Huph crashes into a filing cabinet, badly injured. Everyone stares at Bob in shock]

Bob

Uh-oh. [Cut to the hospital where Huph is seen in a full body cast in a hospital room]

Please report to operating room 722 immediately. [Rick Dicker comes out of the room where Huph is hospitalized. Bob and Rick conversate while heading to the elevator.]

Bob

How is he?

He'll live.

Bob

I'm fired, aren't I?

Oh, you think?

Bob

What can I say, Rick?

Nothin' you haven’t said before.

Bob

Someone was in trouble.

Someone's always in trouble.

Bob

I had to do something.

Yeah. Every time you say those words, it means a month and a half of trouble for me, Bob. It means hundreds of thousands of taxpayer's dollars.

Bob

I know.

We gotta pay to keep the company quiet. We gotta pay damages, erase memories, relocate your family. Every time it gets harder. Money, money, money, money, money. W-We can’t keep doing this, Bob! [he enters the elevator] We appreciate what you did in the old days, but those days are over. From now on, you're on your own.

Uh, listen, Bob.

Maybe I could relocate you. You know, for old times’ sake.

Bob

No. I can’t do that to my family. Everyone just got settled. I’ll make it work. Thanks.

Take care of yourself.
[Rick lets go of the elevator doors. Bob stares at them, numb]

Lucius

Honey?!

What?

Lucius

Where’s my supersuit?

What?

Lucius

WHERE… IS MY SUPER SUIT?!

I, uh… put it away!

Lucius

Where?!

Why do you need to know?!

Lucius

I NEED IT!

Uh-uh! Don’t you think about runnin' off doin' no derrin’-do! We’ve been plannin' this dinner for two months!

Lucius

The public is in danger!

My evening’s in danger!

Lucius

YOU TELL ME WHERE MY SUIT IS, WOMAN! WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE GREATER GOOD!

Greater good?! I am your wife! I’m the greatest good you are ever gonna get!
