Emmet quotes from The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part (2019)

Now that I'm letting you come down here and play, guess who else gets to come down here and play?

Who?

Your sister. [echoes]

What?

Emmet

Well, things sure have a way of working out smoothly. Am I right, guys? [suddenly, the alien spaceship hovers above them] Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat…?

We are from the planet Duplon, and we're here to destroy you.

Emmet

... Oh, man.

Lucy

You're gonna have to pass us.

Batman

Specifically me.

Oh it's on.

Yarr. [smacks ghost Vitruvius away]

Whoa!

Emmet

Uh, Lucy? What?

Emmet, what have you done?

Emmet

Wait. [jumps onto another platform] You guys don't think this is all my fault?

Meh, maybe not entirely your fault.

It's totally your fault

You got that right, WNBA legend Sheryl Swoopes.

Emmet

Listen, everyone, Lucy and the others were kidnapped in some sort of plan to start Armamageddon.

Armamageddon? Where we're banished for an eternity in the Bin of Storaj? That's just a legend.

Emmet

No it's real and it's gonna happen to all of us unless we rescue them.

Jinkies! Who's gonna lead the mission?

You wouldn't even make it past the Stairgate, let alone survive the Systar System.

That's a suicide mission!

Wyldstyle said you're not tough enough to do this. Ya haven't changed with the times. You're stuck in the past a quarter score ago.

We've all grown up except for you.

Yeah, dude, you're a total Hufflepuff.

That's right he is!

Definitely not a good one.

Emmet

But, I'm not-

You remembered what happened to the Justice League. Not with Batman gone and Marvel not returning our calls, there are no real heroes left. Only original Aquaman and unlicensed knock-off, Larry Poppins.

Well, [pulls a plate of salt of his suitcase] I say a spoonful of salt helps the medicine go down. Anyone? No?

Oh, Larry

What he said is right!

Emmet

Aw, come on, everyone! We've done this before. We all took on Lord Business and we've changed the world!! [Chainsaw Dave and other Lego characters look at Emmet, confused] We are all special now. There's nothing we can't do! [Sherry and her cats and the Sewer Babies listen to the speech] We need to go up to that Alien planet and show those aliens what we're made of! [opens the door, exits the fortress, and turns back to the Master Builders] Who's comin' with me?

Lucy

Stop, Em, you don't know what you're doing! [grabs Emmet's hand]

Emmet

This isn't the real you!

Lucy

This is the real me! The truth is, this is my real hair. [Emmet gasps] I used to sing and dance and have colorful hair and I even loved "Everything is Awesome".

Emmet

No, no. You would've told me you hate that music! It isn't you!

Lucy

Yes! I darkened my hair with marker, 'cause I wanted people to think I was cool and grown-up. And then I tried to change you into someone tough, too. And I was wrong. I like you the way you were. Sweet, innocent, kind.

Emmet

The real Lucy would never say that. [he starts jumping up higher, yelling for longer to smash the wedding cake made of legos with his fists]

Rex Dangervest

This is going to be easy. You're weak

Emmet

No, you're the one who's weak.

Rex Dangervest

Huh?

Emmet

I'll never grow up to be like you. It's easy to harden your heart, but to open it. That's the toughest thing you can do. I'm gonna grow up, but I won't stop caring about the people in my life. They may see the world differently. It's not bad. I think it's inspiring. 'Cause everything's not awesome, but we can make it a little more awesome if we remember... We're not alone in this world. We're in it together.

Lucy

It's over, Rex. Emmet's never gonna be you. But you can be like him. You don't have to be the bad guy.

Emmet

You can join us.

Rex Dangervest

I can't.

Emmet

What do you mean?

Rex Dangervest

She came back for ya. You're never gonna turn out like me, which means: I'm never gonna exist

Emmet

W-Wait, no.

Rex Dangervest

Ha ha! Look, I told, I knew it! look, I'm Back to the Futuring! Totally called it.

Emmet

What's Back to the Futuring?

Rex Dangervest

It's a classic movie older kids get to watch. And now it's happening to me

Emmet

Come on! Take our hand while you still have a hand to take!

Rex Dangervest

That ain't how it works, kid.

Emmet

Rex...

Rex Dangervest

It's okay. I'm proud of ya. [his right leg disappears] And you're gonna grow up to be better than me. But kind of thanks to me, so, [his left arm disappears] I'm also great. And, Lucy, thanks for coming back for us. [his lower body disappears] Besides, this is a pretty righteous way to go out, no regrets! Except again not trademarking "No regrets", that was a mistake, one love! [his head disappears into nothing]

Emmet

Just to be clear of that really happened, you could see him. Right?

Lucy

Uh-huh. Time to go?

Emmet

Yeah. [he and Lucy leave]

Lucy

Hey, um, I'm really sorry I tried to change you.

Emmet

Oh, and I'm sorry I blew up the wedding and almost banished everyone to an eternity of lifelessness in a cosmic storage bin. It's fine.

Lucy

Can we be special best friends still?

Emmet

Fo' eva. [he and Lucy hold hands as the screen fades to white]

Emmet

This is the end! [just then, a space ranger appears out of nowhere, and destroys the giant meteor by using a megaton punch] Woah! Who is that?

Emmet

What's happening?? What did I just do?! Lucy! Come with me.

Rex Dangervest

I got you, brother.

Lucy

Wait! Emmet?

Emmet

Lucy!

Emmet

Rex, why are we leaving? We gotta save my friends!

Rex Dangervest

Do we? They didn't come to save us when we were all alone.

Emmet

What are you talking about? Who are you?

Rex Dangervest

Look a little closer. We're not so different.

Emmet

Wait, you and I?

Rex Dangervest

We, and us.

Emmet

Huh?

Rex Dangervest

Emmet... I'm you.

Emmet

But I'm me.

Rex Dangervest

I'm you, from the future. All grown up.

Emmet

Wait, if you're me, why do we sound so different?

Rex Dangervest

Why do we sound so different? [Emmet gasps in horror] It's a mind-blower, I know. That's why I was so cagey in telling you my backstory.

You ruined everything.

I just wanted you to play with me.

Lucy

Emmet… what have you done?

Emmet

What have we done?

Rex Dangervest

It's called growing up. Isn’t that what you wanted?

Emmet

No, I wanna save my friends.

Rex Dangervest

You don’t have friends! They’re just pieces of plastic! [chuckles] You still want to go back to The Matrix when you know the truth?

Emmet

What's The Matrix?

Rex Dangervest

It’s a movie only cool older mature dudes like us have seen. It’s time to put away childish things.
