MM Mecha-macaw
[It is the following morning. Dash awakens, discovering to his horror that he's curled up with Violet. Repulsed, he jumps up and shudders. The Mecha-macaw (a similar one like the one that observed Mr. Incredible fight the first Omnidroid) spots Dash and Violet]
Identification, please.
Hey! Hey, Violet! Come here, look.
[pointing to the mecha-macaw]
There. That one.

Voice key incorrect.
[realizing that something is wrong]
Wait a second...
[The bird's head slowly swivels toward the kids with a soft computing sound. Its eyes light up red as its beak drops open, and it lets out a shrill electronic alarm. Violet backs away from the shrieking bird, Dash following after her, panicking.]
What do we do?
PA P.A.
[Alarms sound. A section of the island grid lights up, locating the kids. A guard hits the "Scramble" button.] [Helen hears the alarm, watches as the guards scramble. Guards on Velocipods zoom out into jungle.]
Intruder alert. Intruder alert. Intruder alert.
[Bob hangs, defeated, in the suspension beams. The cell door slides open. A figure is silhouetted there — Mirage. She switches off the suspension ray. Bob drops to the floor. Bob just sits there on his knees, his eyes cast downward. Mirage crosses to him, kneels down—]
There isn’t much time.
BI Bob (Mr. Incredible)
[Bob's hand flashes out and clamps around her throat. He rises, holding her dangling body aloft with one hand.]
No, there isn’t. In fact... there’s no time at all.
BI Bob (Mr. Incredible)
Why are you here? How can you possibly bring me lower? What more can you take away from me?
[choking]
The family...survived...the...crash! They’re here...on the island!
BI Bob (Mr. Incredible)
They’re alive?
BI Bob (Mr. Incredible)
[Bob releases his grip, Mirage drops to the floor, gasping raggedly. Bob lifts her up and embraces her. Mirage drinks it in, then reacts at the sight of a figure in the doorway. Bob looks up]
Helen...
[Mirage and Bob push apart, Mirage composing herself.]
Oh, hello...You must be Mrs. Incre— [She gets knocked out cold before she could finish, much to Mr. Incredible's shock.]
BI Bob (Mr. Incredible)
She was helping me to escape!
HE Helen (Elastigirl)
No! That’s what I was doing.
HE Helen (Elastigirl)
[Mr. Incredible grabs Elastigirl's arm.]
Let go of me! Let go, you lousy, lying, unfaithful creep!
BI Bob (Mr. Incredible)
[They kiss.]
How could I betray the perfect woman?
HE Helen (Elastigirl)
Oh, you’re referring to me now?
BI Bob (Mr. Incredible)
Where are the kids?
They might’ve triggered the alert.
HE Helen (Elastigirl)
What?!
Security’s been sent into the jungle. You better get going.
HE Helen (Elastigirl)
Now our kids are in danger?!
BI Bob (Mr. Incredible)
If you suspected danger, why’d you bring them?
HE Helen (Elastigirl)
I didn’t bring ‘em, they stowed away. And I don’t think you’re striking the proper tone here.
[Running blindly. The kids are suddenly confronted by guards on three manned Velocipods. Glancing at the guards, Violet speaks quietly to Dash.]
Dash, remember what Mom said.
G2 Guard #2
Hey! Stop talking!
G3 Guard #3
[Abruptly, Vi vanishes. Dash looks around in surprise.]
Hold it! Freeze!
[Suddenly understanding — Dash bolts, jumping from the transport and vanishing into the jungle.]
Oh, yeah! [he runs away]
[It happens fast: The guard's head snaps toward the sound of Vi's voice. He swings his rifle— we hear a heavy thud as Violet's (invisible) body is knocked from the transport: a cloud of dust surrounds an impression in the dirt.]
What the—?! They’re supers!
G2 Guard #2
[Violet disappears]
Get the boy! [guards take off after Dash on Velocipods] Show yourself!
[Dash blasts through the foliage on foot, unbelievably fast, a manned Velocipod hot on his tail. But the terrain is dense, uneven and difficult, and Dash is forced to adhere to the thin trail winding through the growth. A swarm of flies fusses in the air. Suddenly Dash bursts into view; rocketing right through the swarm! Bugs splatter Dash's face like an interstate windshield]
AGGCCHH!!!
[Dash stumbles, careens end over end through the undergrowth like an Indy 500 car crash, and finally tumbles to a stopped. Unharmed, but thoroughly repulsed, Dash wipes his bug-spattered face and teeth.]
Achpppt!!! PtTHWAAAGH!!! PTHPT!!
[A Velocipod bursts out of the brush after him and he takes off, tearing through the jungle. Running fast, Dash grabs a long vine — which sends him out in a wide arc that surprises the trailing guard. He shoots past Dash and roars off into the undergrowth. Dash releases the vine, tumbling roughly to his feet, and runs. A Velocipod bursts out of the brush and is on top of him. Impossibly, Dash accelerates, staying just ahead of it. He sees another vine, grabs it and is propelled upwards. Dash explodes out of the canopy, flailing, out of control. He looks down and sees — the treetops suddenly drop away. Dash is falling off a cliff, screams his ten-year-old lungs out as he lands on a Velocipod! Fleetingly astonished by his good luck, Dash looks up as the startled guard whirls around to face him. The guard swings. Dash ducks and reluctantly throws a punch at the guard's face. It lands! Thrilled that his raw speed renders the guard powerless to dodge or return his punches, Dash laughs and, growing more confident with each punch, socks the guard again and again, blissfully unaware that no one is driving. Dash looks up. His jaw drops: a rock wall looms ahead! Dash points at it. The guard sees an opening and socks Dash in the face, knocking him off just as — the Velocipod slams into the cliff face, vaporizing in a fireball, killing the guard]
Ha, ha! I’m alive. Yeah!
[Dash whooping] [Dash falls: making desperate, flailing grabs as he hits limb after limb of an enormous tree, finally getting hold of a branch and arresting his descent. He pants, heart racing, and looks down to see — his feet dangling about a yard off the jungle floor. Elated about his survival, Dash drops to the ground and lets out a loud whoop, immediately alerting two guards on Velocipods nearby to his presence. They turn their V-pods after him. With Dash as he bolts again, accelerating to breakneck speed. He smashes through an endless succession of foliage — nearly colliding with tree trunks and rocks and suddenly — a lagoon lies in front of him. Dash reacts: the V-pods are on his tail, he has nowhere to go, so he takes a deep breath and steps on it — and has enough velocity to run across the water! Amazed and exhilarated, Dash blasts across the water's surface, weaving like a speedboat around the large volcanic rocks jutting out of the water. Velocipods open fire... strafing the water as Dash is pursued into a cave. Velocipod #2 pulls up short at the cave entrance and chooses to go around.]
BI Bob (Mr. Incredible)
[Velocipod #2 is coming straight at him! Dash wheels around, his legs churning the water like an egg beater. He sees V-pod #1 closing fast. He has nowhere to go and, like a deer in headlights, Dash stops — suddenly dropping beneath the water's surface as the Velocipods collide — BOOM!]
I should've told you I was fired, I admit it. But I didn’t want you to worry.
HE Helen (Elastigirl)
You didn't want me to worry? And now we’re running for our lives through some godforsaken jungle.
BI Bob (Mr. Incredible)
You keep trying to pick a fight, but I’m still just happy you’re alive.
[The remaining guard waits, his machine gun at the ready. Suddenly the dirt moves. The guard fires, strafing the ground just behind a succession of footprints that streak toward the river moments before a splash appears. We see a Violet-shaped distortion as bullet trails furiously slice the surrounding water. Still firing. He stops, unnerved and adrenalized. Tensed and ready, he nervously scans the river.]
I know you’re there, Little Miss Disappear. You can’t hide from me.
[Training his gun where he last saw Violet, the guard grabs a handful of dirt from the riverbank and throws it into the water. He shoulders his rifle watching the dirt turn into a brown cloud as it travels downstream ...making visible a Violet-shaped pocket] [Aiming gun]
There you are.
[The guard takes aim and Dash blurs past]
HEY! [knocking the guard's gun barrel skyward as it fires. The guard swings around — strafing the ground at Dash's heels as he plunges back into the jungle. A splash explodes from the river as invisible Violet makes a break for it. The guard sees this and swings the gun toward her as — Dash blasts out of the jungle and knocks the Guard's legs out from under him. They tumble and scrap, Dash redeeming his lack of size with lightning-fast punches and faints.] Don't touch my sister!
[Disoriented, the guard swings and connects — knocking Dash off his feet. He tumbles backward, dazed. The guard shoulders his rifle, leveling it at Dash. Dash looks up; sees he's screwed. The guard grins wickedly and pulls the trigger — Violet suddenly appears in mid-air, diving in front of Dash as she throws a force field around them! A hail of bullets ricochet off the force field.]
How are you doing that?
Whatever you do, don’t stop!
[as Dash starts to walk within the force field like a gerbil on a wheel. Violet spins ever faster in the sphere's hub as Dash accelerates into a run. The guards empty their clips at the rolling sphere with no effect. It rumbles past them and straight into the jungle.] [Moving with the rolling force field as it carries Dash and Vi down a steep hillside into the path of two speeding Velocipods who fire at the sphere. It's clipped by one Velocipod-- which then spirals into a rock and explodes.] [Bob and Helen hear the explosions echo, and stop, worried. That's when they hear the rumble. Before they can get clear, the rolling force field bursts out of the brush]
Mom! Dad! Hey!
BI Bob (Mr. Incredible)
[the force field vanishes and the entire family tumbles to the jungle floor.]
Kids! You’re all right.
HE Helen (Elastigirl)
Oh, you’re all right!
We were so worried about you!
BI Bob (Mr. Incredible)
I thought I’d never see you again.
[There is a frantic, joyful exchange of hugs and kisses, unfortunately cut short when — Velocipods explode out of the foliage! The Incredibles instantly jump to their feet: Helen throws a stretched scissor kick which catches a guard in the chest, knocking him out of his V-pod. Bob chops a second passing Velocipod — it plows straight into the soft jungle floor. Before its pilot can react — Helen's arm is coiled around him. She yanks him from the vehicle, whiplashing him into another guard, knocking them both out cold. Bob grabs the crashed V-pod and Frisbees it into a V-pod from the trees - boom! And it's over. Bob and Helen had forgotten how good they were. They exchange lustful glances.]
BI Bob (Mr. Incredible) & Helen (Elastigirl)
Aww, I love you.
[Suddenly the jungle is filled with guards and V-pods. And just as quickly the Incredibles turn as one against them, a hurricane blur of superpowers, suddenly brought to a crashing halt — as ZPE rays strike the Incredibles, suspending them all, motionless, in mid-air, in a clearing.]
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA! HEY, TIME OUT! [Syndrome keeps his wrists crossed; one beam trained on Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl; the other on Dash and Violet.] What have we here? Matching uniforms? [glances between the four faces. His eyes narrow as he zeroes in on Helen. An astonished smile splits his face.] Oh, no... Elastigirl!? [laughing, turns to Bob] You married Elastigirl? Whoa... and got... [he stops, sees the kids] And got biz-zay! It's a whole family of Supers! Looks like I've hit the jackpot! Oh, this is just too good!
[Mr. Incredible is in a pod, inside the volcano's magma flows. He waits for Mirage in a huge dining room, while peeking to see who the mysterious man was.] [silhouetted]
Most important, keep things light. Praise him. Make him feel like we appreciate his abilities.
BI Bob (Mr. Incredible)
[He hides back and pretends to have waited long enough.]
Am I overdressed?
Actually, you look rather dashing.
BI Bob (Mr. Incredible)
[They head to the dining table and sit.]
I take it our host is...
Oh, I'm sorry. He won't be dining with us. He hopes you'll understand.
BI Bob (Mr. Incredible)
Of course. I do usually make it a point to know who I’m working for.
He prefers a certain amount of anonymity. Surely, you of all people understand that.
BI Bob (Mr. Incredible)
I was just wondering, of all the places to settle down, why live...
In a volcano? He’s attracted to power. So am I. It’s a weakness we share.
BI Bob (Mr. Incredible)
Seems a bit unstable.
I prefer to think of it as misunderstood.
Bob (Mr. Incredible) [chuckling]: Aren’t we all?
Volcanic soil is among the most fertile on Earth. Everything at the table was grown right here. How does it compare?
BI Bob (Mr. Incredible)
Everything’s delicious.
[Bob raises his glass. Mirage smiles and does likewise] [MONTAGE: INCREDIBLE AGAIN — His self-esteem back, Bob returns home with renewed vigor. He bonds with his kids, gets frisky with Helen, and takes pride in his new appearance. He buys a new snazzy sports car for himself, and a new car for Helen. After he says goodbye to Helen several mornings, clearly pretending to go off to the job he no longer holds at Insuricare, we see how he's actually spending his days; dropping weight and getting in shape. The Superheroic workouts do their job; Bob is in the best shape he's been in many years.]
[Parker Stadium - Metroville, 3 MONTHS LATER]
[Last lines; The stadium parking lot is about half full on a beautiful cloudless day. The sign outside the stadium displays "JUNIOR HIGH TRACK FINALS". Inside the stadium, young runners loosen up at the starting line of the hundred-yard dash. Dash is among them. He waves to the stands. In the stands, Bob, Helen and Jack-Jack wave back. Coming down the steps is none other than Violet's crush, Tony Rydinger. He waves cooly at some friends and heads toward the concession stand. Pausing when he sees Violet and a friend talking nearby. He approaches them.]
[PA announcements]
Do we have to have cheerleaders at the track meet? I mean, what is that all about?
Violet's friend: Well, I always thought it was more like a...
T Tony
You’re, uh, Violet, right?
That’s me.
Violet's friend: See you, Vi.
T Tony
[Her friend leaves]
You look different.
I feel different. Is different... okay?
T Tony
Hey, different is... [clears throat] Different is great. [stammering] Would you wanna...
T Tony
Do you think maybe... [stammering] ...you and I... you know...
Violet: Yeah?
[Violet silences Tony with a single finger on his lips. Tony stares at her in shock and wonder.]
Shh. I like movies. I’ll buy the popcorn. Okay?
T Tony
[stammering]
A movie. There you go. Yeah...yeah! Wait, wait...so Friday?
Friday. [She sits down with Bob, Helen and Jack-Jack]
BA Bob and Helen
[The starter pistol fires, and the runners take off. Dash jogs well behind the pack in a confident, easy trot. In the stands Bob, Helen, and Violet cheer Dash on.]
Go, Dash, go! Go, go, go! Run, run!
[Dash hears them and looks toward the stands.]
Run, Dash! Run!
[Dash, his eyes still on his family, accelerates a little and quickly moves toward the front of the pack. Dash, clearly confused now, furrows his brows as he again drops back. The family shouts louder]
Come on, run! Pick up the pace! Move it, move it! Pace it! Slow down just a little bit! Don’t give up! Make it close!
[Understanding, Dash accelerates just enough to scare the leader, crossing the finish line inches behind him.]
Second!
Close second, close second. Yeah! That’s my boy!
[The family crosses the parking lot, Dash sitting atop Bob's shoulders, clutching his second-place trophy. Everyone is happy and together]
Dash, I'm so proud of you.
I didn't know what the heck you wanted me to do.
[The ground begins to quake. The Incredibles stop as the low rumble grows louder. On the far side of the lot, cars begin to be thrown into the air, tossed about like toys. A gargantuan drill spirals out of the ground, throwing dirt and chunks of asphalt in all directions. People run screaming as the enormous metallic vehicle crests and crashes to earth. A door opens on top and a hulking figure in dirty overalls emerges atop a rising platform, his ragged voice amplified through a loudspeaker,]
BEHOLD, THE UNDERMINER! I am always beneath you, but nothing is beneath ME! I hereby declare WAR ON PEACE and happiness! Soon all will tremble BEFORE ME!
[Camera pans off Bob as he glances at his family. They've already donned their masks, ready as they'll ever be. Camera returns to Bob, revealing that he too has put on his mask. He turns toward their new nemesis and smiles, rips his shirt open to reveal the "i" insignia on the chest of his super suit underneath, the logo of Letter I and The Incredibles; credits roll] .
[The jet soars through the golden late-afternoon sky. Helen pilots the jet as she speaks into her headset.]
Island approach. India Golf Niner-Niner checking in. VFR on top. Over.
[No response. Helen checks the instruments, confirms her course. She tries again.]
Island tower, this is India Golf Niner-Niner requesting vectors to the initial. Over.
[An old sensation begins to creep into Helen's thoughts: danger. She grabs her duffel bag and zips it open, exposing the supersuit E made for her. She stares at it.]
Easy, Helen. Easy. easy, girl. You're overreacting. Everything's fine. They're just — all getting coffee at...the same time. Yeah. [Helen mulls the explanation and decides it's ridiculous. She flips a switch — putting the jet on autopilot, grabs her suit and goes into the lavatory.]
[The scene cuts to Bob being held in a containment unit by his limbs. Syndrome walks towards him.]
You, sir.... truly are Mr. Incredible. You know, I was right to idolize you. I... I-I always knew you were tough, but tricking the probe by hiding under the bones of another super? Oh, man! I’m still geekin' out about it! [sighs] And then you had to just.... ruin the ride. I mean, Mr. Incredible calling for help? [mocking] Help me, help me. Help! Lame...lame...lame, LAME, LAME!! ALL RIGHT, WHO DID YOU CONTACT?!
BI Bob (Mr. Incredible)
"Contact"? What are you talkin' about?
[Syndrome has a guard shock him]
I am referring to last night at 23:07 hours while you were snooping around. You sent out a homing signal.
BI Bob (Mr. Incredible)
I didn't know about the homing device.
[The guard turns up the juice. Bob screams in agony.]
And now a government plane is requesting permission to land here. WHO DID YOU CONTACT?!
BI Bob (Mr. Incredible)
I didn't send for a...a plane.
[to Mirage]
Play the transmission! [Mirage hits the spacebar on the keyboard which activates the transmission]
HE Helen (Elastigirl)
[via transmission]
India golf Niner-Niner checking in. VFR on top. Over.
BI Bob (Mr. Incredible)
Helen...!
So you do know these people. Well, then, I’ll...send them a little greeting. [pushes a button deploying missiles]
[Elastigirl emerges from the lavatory dressed in her super suit. She throws her duffel bag roughly at an apparently empty passenger seat]
Ow!
HE Helen (Elastigirl)
Violet!
[as she materializes]
It’s not my fault! Dash started it! He could have ran away, and I knew I’d get blamed for it--
HE Helen (Elastigirl)
Dash?!
VA Violet and Dash
...and I thought he'd try to sneak on the plane so I came here and you closed the doors before I could find him and then you took off and it's not my fault! You said, "Something's up with Mom. We have to find out what!" It was your idea! Your idea! Hundred percent all-yours, all-the-time idea!
HE Helen (Elastigirl)
Wait a minute, wait a minute. You left Jack-Jack alone?!
VA Violet and Dash
Yes, mom, I’m completely stupid...of course we got a sitter! Do you think I’m totally irresponsible? Thanks a lot! / No, we got someone, Mom. Someone great. We wouldn’t do that.
HE Helen (Elastigirl)
All right! Well, who’d ya get?
K Kari
[cut to Casa de Parr, where Kari is on the phone and Jack-Jack is in his hi-chair]
You don’t have to worry about one single thing, Mrs. Parr. I’ve got this baby-sitting thing wired. I’ve taken courses and learned CPR and I got excellent marks and certificates...
HE Helen (Elastigirl)
Kari.
K Kari
I also brought Mozart to play while he sleeps to make him smarter because leading experts say Baby Mozart makes babies smarter.
HE Helen (Elastigirl)
Kari...
K Kari
And the beauty part is that the babies don’t even have to listen ‘cause they’re asleep! You know, I wish my parents played Mozart when I slept because half the time, I don’t even know what the heck anyone's talking about.
HE Helen (Elastigirl)
Kari, I really don’t feel comfortable with this. I’ll pay you for your trouble, but I’d really rather call a service.
K Kari
Oh, there’s really no need, Mrs. Parr. I can totally handle anything this baby can dish out. [cooing] Can’t I, little baby? I can handle it. Who can handle it?
HE Helen (Elastigirl)
[Helen looks at the plane radar and sees several missiles headed towards the plane.]
India Golf Niner-Niner transmitting in the blind guard. Disengage! Repeat, disengage!
HE Helen (Elastigirl)
[The "fasten seat belts" sign above Dash and Violet lights up. They exchange glances, reach for their seat belts. The jet suddenly dives, throwing them into the ceiling.]
Disengage! Repeat, disengage! Friendlies...
BI Bob (Mr. Incredible)
[cut back to the containment unit]
No! Call off the missiles. I'll do anything.
Too late. [he shrugs] Fifteen years too late.
HE Helen (Elastigirl)
Friendlies at two-zero miles south-southwest of your position. Angels 10. Track east. Disengage, over! [to Violet] Vi! You have to put a force field around the plane!
But you said we weren't supposed to use our powers!
HE Helen (Elastigirl)
I know what I said! Listen to what I'm saying now! [on headset] Disengage. Repeat, disengage!
[Dash looks outside to see the missiles.] [fearfully]
Mom?
HE Helen (Elastigirl)
Violet! [Violet gets startled; via headset] Mayday, mayday! India Golf Niner-Niner is buddy-spiked! Abort, abort! There are children aboard, [heard through intercom] Say again, there are children aboard the plane.
BI Bob (Mr. Incredible)
[cut back to containment unit]
No!
HE Helen (Elastigirl)
Put a field around us NOW!!!
I've never done one that big!
HE Helen (Elastigirl)
Violet, do it now! Abort, abort, abort! [via headset] Abort, abort, abort! [Violet weakly tries to create a force field in a short period of time] Abort, abort, abort! [She tries again unsuccessfully, then Helen rushes to protect her children from the explosion]
HE Helen (Elastigirl)
Abort, abort, abort!
HE Helen (Elastigirl)
[The plane explodes, and Helen wraps around Violet and Dash. The three begin falling towards the ocean. Helen’s unconscious while Dash and Violet are screaming. Helen then wakes up to see her kids falling next to her. She grabs them and makes a parachute.]
Brace yourselves!
VA Violet and Dash
[They land safely in the water. Helen emerges to see the two kids treading water.]
Mom! Mom!
HE Helen (Elastigirl)
Everybody calm down. Now, I’ll tell you what we’re not gonna do. We’re not gonna panic, we’re not gonna--LOOK OUT!!!
DA Dash and Violet
[A turbine hits about 10 meters away from where the three are. Helen pushes Dash and Violet underwater. Dash and Violet swim back to the surface and Helen watches the missile hit the bottom and explode before swimming back up.]
Oh, my goodness! Whose idea was this anyway?!/What are we gonna do?! What are we gonna do?!
We survived but we’re dead!
HE Helen (Elastigirl)
[splashes Violet and Dash with ocean water]
HEY, STOP IT! We are NOT gonna die! Now BOTH of you will GET A GRIP. Or SO help me I will GROUND you for a month! UNDERSTAND!?
[Back to the interrogation room.]
We have a confirmed hit. Target...was destroyed.
Ah, you’ll get over it. I seem to recall you preferred to...work...alone...?
BI Bob (Mr. Incredible)
[Syndrome laughs evilly as he walks away. But unbeknownst to him, Bob grows absolutely livid.] [Mirage gasps, and with quick thinking she pushes Syndrome out of the way as Bob suddenly grabs her. Syndrome quickly stands up.]
RELEASE ME. NOW!!!
BI Bob (Mr. Incredible)
I’ll crush her.
Ooh, that sounds a little dark for you. Nah, go ahead.
BI Bob (Mr. Incredible)
[as Mirage gasps and he presses her harder]
It’ll be easy...like breaking a toothpick!
[As Syndrome amusedly waits, Bob slowly loses his will. Then, he sighs...] [...and releases Mirage, as she falls to the floor and looks shocked to Syndrome.]
I knew you couldn’t do it, even when you have nothing to lose. You’re weak!
[He and Mirage sullenly head out.]
And I’ve outgrown you.
HE Helen (Elastigirl)
[As Mirage looks to Bob one more time with a worried expression, she leaves with Syndrome as Bob starts crying, thinking that he lost his family.]
Those were short-range missiles. Land-based. That way is our best bet.
You wanna go toward the people that tried to kill us?
HE Helen (Elastigirl)
If it means land, yes.
Do you expect us to swim there?
HE Helen (Elastigirl)
I expect you to trust me.
HE Helen (Elastigirl)
[Dash is hastily pushing Helen morphed into a boat, as Violet sits on her.] [The three make it to shore. It is now night]
What a trooper. I’m so proud of you.
NN Newsreel Narrator
[The screen switches to a news flash.]
In a stunning turn of events, a superhero is being sued for saving someone who, apparently, didn't want to be saved. The plaintiff, Oliver Sansweet, who was foiled in his attempted suicide by Mr. Incredible, has filed a suit against the famed superhero in Superior Court.
[Oliver Sansweet's lawyer stands next to him on the crowded front steps, and speaks to a cluster of reporters] Sansweet's Lawyer: Mr. Sansweet didn't ask to be saved, Mr. Sansweet didn't wanna be saved! And the injury received from Mr. Incredible's "actions", so-called causes him daily pain!
I Mr. Incredible
Hey, I saved your life!
S Sansweet
You didn't save my life, you ruined my death! That's what you did...!
I Mr. Incredible
Listen, you little [interrupted by his lawyer] piece of....
Mr. Incredible's Lawyer: My client has no further comment at this time.

Five days later, another suit was filed by victims of the El Train accident.

[Shots of a courtroom filled with neck-braced, cast-wearing, train-wreck victims. A lawyer goes through his paces, often gesturing toward a glowering Mr. Incredible]
Incredible's court losses cost the government millions, and opened the floodgates for dozens of superhero lawsuits the world over.

[A series of spinning newspaper headlines describing the succession of lawsuits brought against superheroes saying, "DynaGuy sued!", "'SUPER' DAMAGES!", "X-RAY VISION PEEPING TOM?" Irate Taxpayers demonstrate, waving placards that read: "NO MORE SUPER BAILOUTS!", "$UPER EXPEN$IVE!", etc. A government employee addresses her colleagues]

Under tremendous public pressure, and the crushing financial burden of an ever-mounting series of lawsuits, the government quietly initiated the superhero relocation program. [Superheroes exiting the public stage, as they wave goodbye (ala Nixon), duck into cars in a shower of popping flashbulbs, cheered by supporters, jeered by opponents, etc.] The supers will be granted amnesty from responsibility for past actions, in exchange for the promise to never again resume hero work. Where are they now?

[A throng of people mill about the city streets in diverse anonymity]
They are living among us. Average citizens, average heroes. Quietly and anonymously continuing to make the world a better place.
[The music crescendos as camera lifts up to the horizon and the sun streaming through the clouds.]
H Mrs. Hogenson
[Title card reading: "15 Years Later". It's now 15 years later and Bob is working at an insurance agency and stamps "Denied" on 2004 release a frail woman (Mrs. Hogenson)'s policy claim, replacing the red "X" on relase a frail woman (Mrs. Hogenson)'s policy claim]
Denied? You're denying my claim? I don't understand, I have full coverage.
[Her claims adjuster, Bob Parr looks up at Mrs. Hogenson sadly. He looks familiar because it is none other than Mr. Incredible himself, now balding, sixty-four pounds heavier and dressed in a too-tight white-collar shirt sitting in an uncomfortably cramped cubicle. Mrs. Hogenson sits across from him, bewildered and upset]
I'm sorry, Mrs. Hogenson, but our liability is spelled out in paragraph 17. It states clearly-
H Mrs. Hogenson
[stammering]
I-I can't pay for this.
[Bob hears the phone ring]
Excuse me. [answers phone] Claims, Bob Parr.
[Helen chats amiably as she bathes her infant baby Jack-Jack in the sink of their airy, ranch-style kitchen. Her hairstyle has changed, her hips have widened a little, but Motherhood has agreed with her, and little else has changed from her Elastigirl days. A stack of empty moving boxes are stacked haphazardly near the door]
I'm calling to celebrate a momentous occasion. We're now officially moved in.
Yeah, well, that's great, honey. And the last three years don't count because...
Because I finally unpacked the last box. Now, it's official. Ha, ha, ha. Why do we have so much junk?
Listen, honey, I've got a client.
Say no more. Go save the world one policy at a time, honey. Oh! I gotta go pick up the kids from school. See you tonight.
Bye, honey. [to Mrs. Hogenson] Excuse me. Where were we?
H Mrs. Hogenson
[cries]
I'm on a fixed income, and if you can't help me, I don't know what I'll do. [blows nose loudly; crying]
[he looks out of his cubicle and above it to make sure no one's eavesdropping and then turns his attention back to Mrs. Hogenson]
All right, listen closely. I'd like to help you, but I :can't. I'd like to tell you to take a copy of your policy to Norma Wilcox on... :[whispering, tapping on a notepad instructing her to write this all down] Norma Wilcox, W-I-L-C-O-X, on the third floor, but I can't. I also do not advise you to fill out and file a WS2475 form with our legal department on the second floor. I would not expect someone to get back to you quickly to resolve the matter. I'd like to help, but there's nothing I can do.
H Mrs. Hogenson
Oh, thank you, young man.
[shushing her and peering over the top of his cubicle, looking around and shouting loudly to make sure no one is listening to the conversation]
I'M SORRY, MA'AM! I KNOW YOU'RE UPSET!! [whispering] Pretend to be upset. [She walks out of the cubicle pretending to sob. Gilbert Huph, charges down towards Bob's cubicle and pushes past Mrs. Hogenson]
H Huph
PAAAARRRRRRR! [he passes some papers on Bob's desk, as he gets startled. This causes a cup of pencils to fall down, which Bob picks up again] You authorized payment on the Walker policy?!
Someone broke into their house, Mr. Huph. Their policy clearly covers them against...
H Huph
[worried]
I don't know wanna about their coverage, Bob. Don't tell me about their coverage. Tell me how you're keeping Insuricare in the black! Tell me how that's possible with you writing checks to every Harry Hardluck and Sally Sobstory THAT GIVES YOU A PHONE CALL!! [showing off storms out of Bob's cubicle]
PA PA Announcement
[Huph leaves. Bob stands there impotently, then sits]
Morning break is over. Morning break is over. [the cup holding Bob's pencils fall to the floor spilling out]
P Principal
[Helen enters the principal's office and sees her son Dash hunched in a chair. Before him are two men, Dash's teacher Bernie Kropp, balding, tense, and looking older than his 36 years, and the school's principal]
I appreciate you coming down here, Mrs. Parr.
[Helen looks at Dash]
What's this about? Has Dash done something wrong?
B Bernie
[first words]
He's a disruptive influence and he openly mocks me in front of the class.
B Bernie
[to Helen and Dash]
Look, I know it's you! He puts thumbtacks on my stool.
[telling Bernie what he is done to Dash.]
You saw him do this?
B Bernie
Well, not real– No, actually not.
Oh, then how do you know it was him?
B Bernie
I hid a camera. [produces a videotape. Dash gasps and looks at Helen, glaring at him] And this time I got him. [the footage shows Bernie shows up to his seat and when he's about to sit down, for a couple of frames.] I'll show him! I'll show him! I'll show him! [Dash is seen running to the seat and back to his desk] See? You see? [Helen and the principal squint in an attempt to try to see it] What, you don't see it? [sighs, and rewinds the tape] He moves! RIGHT THERE! [pauses] Wait, wait! Right... there! Right as I'm sitting down! I don't know, I don't know how he does it, but there's no tack on my stool before he moves and after he moves there's a tack! Coincidence? I think NOT!
P Principal
Uh, Bernie? [pats his shoulder]
B Bernie
Don't "Bernie" me! [angrily threatening to Dash] THIS LITTLE RAT IS GUILTY!
P Principal
You and your son can go now, Mrs. Parr. I'm sorry for the trouble.
B Bernie
[last words]
You're letting him go again?! He's guilty! You can see it on his smug little face!! GUILTY, I SAY, GUILTY! GUILTY, GUILTY! NO!
[Dash and Helen drive to Western View Junior High to pick up Violet]
Dash, this is the third time this year you've been sent to the office. We need to find a better outlet, a more...constructive outlet.
Maybe I could, if you'd let me go out for sports.
Honey, you know why we can't do that.
I promise I'll slow up. I'll only be the best by a tiny bit.
Dashiell Robert Parr, you are an incredibly competitive boy, and a bit of a showoff. The last thing you need is temptation.
You always say, "Do your best", but you don't really mean it. Why can't I do the best that I can do?
Right now, honey, the world just wants us to fit in, and to fit in, we just gotta be like everybody else.
Dad always said our powers were nothing to be ashamed of. Our powers made us special.
Everyone's special, Dash.
[muttering]
Which is another way of saying no one is.
B Boy
[At Western View Junior High, daughter Violet stands next to the stairs outside and Tony, her crush, walks out]
Hey, Rydinger. Where you headed?
B Boy
Hey, Tony, can I carry your books?
T Tony
That’s kind of funny.
B1 Boy 1
Hey, Tony, do you play football?
B2 Boy 2
Tony, I thought we were gonna go swimming.
[Tony walks by Violet but when he turns around, he doesn't see anyone. Confused, Tony walks away. Violet's invisible but her clothes are still visible and afterwards becomes fully visible again]
He looked at me.
[car horn honking]
Come on, Violet!
[Bob is on an interstate highway and heading home from Insuricare in gridlock traffic] [slowly arrives in the driveway with his grossly under-sized hatchback, opens the door, accidentally slips on a skateboard and leaves a finger crush on the door, muttering angrily]
Darn kids. Sitting on the driveway. [notices his finger crush on the door] Oh, great. [attempts to shut the car door with increasing frustration. The third time he quickly throws it closed, only for the door window to crash and shatter.] Oh my. [He loses his temper, turns red in anger and angrily lifts the car over his head, only to see a boy named Rusty McAllister on his Big Wheel staring at him. Rusty's bubblegum bubble pops. Bob puts the car down, and checks for Rusty. Bob makes his way into the house]
