Emmet, you'll... you'll think of something, right? Like you always do.
Didn't you hear him? The prophecy's made up. I'm not the Special. To think for a moment I thought I might be.
Emmet. [suddenly, Emmet hears Vitruvius's ghostly voice]
I did. [Vitruvius's ghostly form appears behind Emmet] I am ghost Vitruvius. Ooooh! [he glides over to face Emmet] Emmet, you didn't let me finish earlier because I died. The reason I made up the prophecy was because I knew that whoever found the Piece could become the Special. Because the only thing anyone needs to be special is to believe that you can be. I know that sounds like a cat poster, but it's true. Look at what you did when you believed you were special. You just need to believe it some more.
But how can I just decide to believe that I'm special, when I'm not?
Because the world depends on it. Ooooh! [the ghostly form of Vitruvius starts to glide away]
Zapping termination in thirty-five Mississippi...
Thirty-four Mississippi, thirty-three Mississippi, thirty-two Mississippi, thirty-one Mississippi, thirty Mississippi, twenty-nine Mississippi, twenty-eight Mississippi, twenty-seven Mississippi, twenty-six Mississippi, twenty-five Mississippi... [as the countdown continues, Emmet gets an idea; he manages to dislodge the battery from its holding place and rolls himself with the battery toward the broken window.]
Emmet! What are you...? [Emmet rolls himself towards the edge of the broken window and looks down into the abyss]
Whoa! [he looks back at Wyldstyle] Lucy!
Wait! What are you...? What are you...?
Now it's your turn to be the hero. [Wyldstyle realizing what Emmet is planning to do]
Twelve Mississippi, Eleven Mississippi...
See you later, alligator.
Don't! [Emmet jumps out the broken window.]
Nine Mississippi, eight Mississippi...
[gasps]
No, EMMET! [as the computer countdown continues, Emmet starts falling into the abyss]
Seven Mississippi, six Mississippi...
Five Mississippi, four Mississippi, three Mississippi, two Mississippi... [as Emmet gets nearer to the abyss, the battery he's strapped to snaps off its holder.] One Mississippi, zero, Missi- ERROR. Termination failure. [as the detonation sequence deactivates, the Master Builders are freed from their captivity]
Emmet! [She rushes over to the edge of the window and looks down into the abyss. The battery holder detached.] No... [the other Master Builders gather round]
Well, what do we do now? There's gotta be a bright side here somewhere?
Does anyone have any ideas?
Arr, if only there were more people in the world like he? [suddenly, Wyldstyle has an idea and looks round to the screen showing the citizen of Bricksburg as they are getting glued]
Batman is the worst person I've ever met.
[suddenly, Batman appears behind them with the Millennium Falcon's hyperdrive]
Need a hyperdrive?
[Chuckling]
You really had me there!
Those guys were so lame; all they did was play space checkers, plus it turns out that hairy one's a dude, and the metal one too- all dudes.
But won't they notice their hyperdrive is missing?
HS Han Solo
[cut to the Millennium Falcon]
Come on, Chewie, hit the hyperdrive!
[Suddenly, the spaceship loses power, and is eaten by an asteroid worm; cut back to the ship]
Nah, they'll be fine.
[following Emmet's plan, the group work together to build a spaceship]
Step 1: Alright, we need a blue two-piece unit over at the... [Emmet notices Unikitty putting flowers into the spaceship] Unikitty, you're supposed to follow the instructions, remember?
[picking up a piece of Lego as they follow the instructions]
Ugh, this gives me the jeebies.
What do I even...? I-I can't...! [kicks Lego pieces in frustration]
Nice. Step 2: We pilot the ship to the service entrance so we can get past the dangerous, but also kind of cool, laser gate.
[in their spaceship they get to the Octan service gate, Batman and Benny are in the driver's seat]
Space ID.
I am here to see... your butt.
Is that last name "butt", first name "your", or is it- [Batman throws a Batarang at the Robot, decapitating him] OH, MY GOSH!
[Batman laughs then throws another Batarang at the gate button, but fails to hit it]
Pow! [throws another which still doesn't hit it] Wham! [throws another and misses again] Kezap! [he then repeatedly throws several Batarangs until it finally hits the button, making it go green.] First try! [after they enter into Octan Tower]
Step 3: We break into Lord Business's office, and we'll plunder his collection of relics for disguises.[they break into Lord Business's office and use his relics to disguise themselves] Step 4: Benny and Metalbeard will sneak their way into the Master Control Room. [as Metalbeard and Benny break into the control room]
Motion Sensors Triggered in Sector-12.
Uh-oh! [two security guard robots go to investigate, Metalbeard and Benny quickly hide as not to be detected, Metalbeard transforms into a photocopying machine.]
Are you thinking what I'm thinking? [the other robot jumps onto the photocopying machine] Do it! [the robot starts photocopying his buttocks, both laughing. Metalbeard suddenly transforms back and destroys the two robots]
Metalbeard, that was awesome!
First law of the sea: never place your rear end on a pirate's face.
Once inside, they'll use their technical know-how to disable the kragle shield. [Metalbeard and Benny get inside the control room to disable the computer]
Cool, talking computer! [Benny starts tapping into the computer] Please disable the shield systems.
Of course. There are no movies in your area with that title. [Benny grumbles as he falls onto the computer]
Step 5: Vitruvius will provide lookout to make sure we're not being followed. [Vitruvius looks through the binoculars, but as he's blind, he's unaware that he's standing in front of a wall]
Step 6: Batman and Unikitty go into the Board Room to make one last change to Lord Business's plan. [inside the Board Room Lord Business is holding a meeting]
I move that we freeze the universe. Can I get a second on that? [suddenly, Bruce Wayne enters the room]
Bruce Wayne I second. Bruce Wayne, CEO of Wayne Enterprises. [cut to the group as they are going through their plan]
Bruce Wayne?!? [chuckles] Who's that? Sounds like a cool guy. [the others, all clearly aware of who Bruce Wayne is, stare at him in silence; Wyldstyle sighs. Bruce Wayne and a disguised Unikitty enter Lord Business's Board Room]
Bruce Wayne We'd like to invest in your company; your weapon to control the universe sounds super sweet, I must say.
It is indeed super sweet.
Bruce Wayne Cool! What kind of sound system does it have?
Uh, sound system? Well, I mean, we have an iPod shuffle.
Bruce Wayne Wait a second. You're telling me that you have a machine to control the universe and you can't listen to tunes and surround sound?
Well, I mean, we need to get that done. I want eight-foot speakers.
Bruce Wayne Great call.
Yeah, I want speakers that you can hug with your arms and your legs, and just feel the beat.
[cut to Lord Business's robots instructing the captive Master Builders in the Think Tank]
Listen up! We need new instructions for a speaker system for the TAKOS!
We'll never help-! [Suddenly, the device attached to their heads electrocutes them, and they all start coming up with the instructions] Whatever you say, boss!
Then once the instructions are printed, Wyldstyle and I will enter the Kragle room, place the thing on the other thing, and save the universe. [cut to the group having their planning meeting] Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, I didn't draw that. [points to a drawing of himself, as he saves the universe] Is that me exploding?
Uh, I didn't mention that earlier: when you reunite the Piece with the Kragle, it might explode?
No! But it might not, right?
Sure, sure, sure. Just go with that.
[back at Octan Tower, Emmet and Wyldstyle disguised as a robots, deliver the speakers to the control room]
Attention everybody! Incoming Speaker Delivery! [Emmet looks in fear at the TAKO device and suddenly misses his footing and drops the speaker and THUD!... Emmet grunts and falls. The other robots look at them with suspicion] Who are you, two?
[trying to sound like a robot]
We are transfers from downstairs.
[Emmet then speaks in a pretend robot voice]
Your robot voice sounds an awful lot like a human voice?
Give me a break, I've never been a robot before.
What do you mean?! YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A ROBOT! [both Emmet and Wyldstyle gasp, and as the other robots get ready to attack them.] No, no, no! Do not listen to her!
What are your robot serial numbers?[Wyldstyle gasps and as the robots stare at them suddenly Emmet starts humming the tune to "Everything is Awesome!" then he dances and turns]
[Whispering]
Everything is awesome!
[the robots back down]
No way, this is my jam.
R2 Robot #2
This is also my jam. [the robots starts singing and dancing]
R Robots
Everything is awesome. Everything is cool when you're part of a team
[Emmet starts joining in with them, he turns to Wyldstyle indicating for her to also sing along]
I don't want to sing the song. I'm not--? [the robots suddenly get ready to attack them when Wyldstyle joins in and sings] Everything is awesome! Everything is cool when you're part of a team! Everything is awesome when you're living out a dream!
[the robots start heading in one direction, Wyldstyle and Emmet quickly sneak away] [in normal voice]
Quick, let's go. [after they get passed the robots and start climbing up a vent]
R Robots
[Singing]
Everything Is Awesome
[in normal voice] [chuckles]
I thought you didn't like that song.
Uh, is this Cloud Cuckoo Land? I don't see any clouds or cuckoos.
No, no. This is Middle Zealand. A wondrous land full of knights, castles, muttons, torture weapons, poverty, leeches, illiteracy, and um...
DRAGON! [the Batwing dives as a dragon swoops down]
Yeah, that too. [Batman transforms the Batwing into the Batmobile, lands the car in a forest area and drives through the woods] Once we arrive in Cloud Cuckoo Land, we'll raise an army of Master Builders...
Yeah, yeah, anyway. You guys gotta check out these new subwoofers I installed in the back; I call them The Dogs. Listen to them bark! [Batman turns on his stereo, sending heavy metal blasting through the Batmobile, making Emmet and Vitruvius bounce in the back]
Aaah! Can you turn that down a little bit?!
This is a song I wrote for Wyldstyle! [Wyldstyle smiles at Batman before singing with the song; we hear Batman's voice as he sings to the heavy metal music] Darkness! [to Emmet and Vitruvius] It's about how I'm an orphan! [the song continues] No parents!
[Wyldstyle turns to Emmet]
This is real music, Emmet. Batman's a true artist. Dark, brooding.
Well, I'm dark and brooding too! [Emmet gasps, suddenly he notices something ahead] Look, a rainbow! [as they reach the rainbow]
So, you're gonna drive up the curved part, take it all the way to the top and park the car. [The Batmobile stops, Batman drives up the rainbow and stops the car at the very top] Friends, welcome to Cloud Cuckoo Land. [An angelic chord plays as the camera pans down to the group standing in front of a rather large cloud; the rainbow disappears.] Now, I just need to give the secret knock. [he turns and knocks once with his scepter on the cloud door, after a short pause the door bursts open and as they enter inside they hear music being played and everyone is happy and dancing around.]
I'm not sure about this place and what I am supposed to do.
Hi! I am Princess Unikitty, and I welcome you all to Cloud Cuckoo Land!
[Everyone cheers]
But there are no signs or anything! How can people know what not to do?
Here in Cloud Cuckoo Land, there are no rules! There's no government, no babysitters, no bedtimes, no frowny faces, no bushy mustaches, and no negativity of any kind.
You just said the word "no" like a million times.
And there's also no consistency.
All ideas are the good ones, except the not-so-good ideas. Those that push down deep inside where you'll never, ever, ever, [angrily tone] EVER... [normal tone] find them! Your fellow Master Builders are gathered in the Dog!
FN French Narrator
Meanwhile, at the dog...
[Emmet gasps]
Is that Superman?
SO Statue of Liberty
Bonjour.
Girl, what are you doing right now?
[appears from behind Emmet]
Hey, Superman!
Oh, hey... Hey, what's up?
[fixing his mask]
Lantern. Green Lantern.
Do you wanna sit together at the meeting?
Uh, I have to, I have to go back to Krypton. [Superman quickly flies off]
[the camera pans to Vitruvius addressing the room at large]
Did didn't Krypton blow up?
My fellow Master Builders, including, but not limited to Robin Hood, Mermaid Lady, Gandalf, Swamp Creature, 1980-something Space Guy...
...2002 NBA All-Stars and Wonder Woman. You have traveled far to be here for a moment of great import. We have learned that Lord Business plans to unleash a fully weaponized Kragle on Taco Tuesday, to end the world as we know it. [the Master Builders express their shock and outrage] Please, calm yourselves. Green Ninja, Milhouse, Nice Vampire, Michelangelo, Michelangelo and Cleopatra. There is yet one hope; the Special has arisen.
[he steps aside to reveal Emmet while hushed murmurs spread around]
Have the young man step forward.
As you wish, [says it incorrectly] Dubbledore.
D Dumbledore
It's pronounced Dumbledore.
D Dumbledore
No, Dumbledore.
I thought you said Dubbledore.
Ah, we gotta write all that down 'cause I'm not gonna remember any of it, but here we go. The Special will now give an eloquent speech. [to Emmet] Go ahead, man, you got this.
Okay. [Emmet walks up to the platform and waves to everyone. He clears his throat] Hello, I'm Emmet. [referring to the Piece of Resistance] Oh, and this is the Piece of Resistance. [the Master Builders cheer. Wyldstyle watches in bewilderment] Thank you. Well, eeeeehhhh. I know that I, for one, am very excited to work with you guys, to get into the Octan Tower, find the Kragle and put this thing on the thing, and I know it's going to be really hard, but... [gets interrupted]
REALLY HARD?! [the audience gasps] Wiping ye bum with a hook for a hand is really hard; this be impossible! The last time we tried to storm Lord Business's office, we used every plan we could conceive. The result was a massacre too terrible to speak of.
The name be Metalbeard, and I'll tell you me tale of woe.
Oh, great. Here we go again. [Metalbeard recounts his failed attempt in trying to infiltrate Lord Business's office]
I arrived at the foot of the tower with me hearty Master Builder crew, only to find the Kragle was all the way up on the infinitieth floor, guarded by a robot army. And security measures of every kind imaginable: lasers, sharks, laser sharks, overbearing assistants, and strange, dangerous relics that entrap, snap, and zap. And there be a mysterious room called "The Think Tank". I barely made it out of that room with just me head... [Metalbeard hops out of the tower with his head and escapes on his ship as it purrs away] and organs! [Metalbeard's organs pop out of the Octan tower and land in his ship and it purrs away again]
I had to replace every part of my once strapping, virile pirate body with this useless hunk of garbage ye see before ye. So if ye think it'd be a good idea to return to that forsaken place, Special, what idea have ye that be better than the ideas of 100 of our fallen Master Builder brothers?
Well, technically I'm not exactly a Master Builder yet.
WHAT?! [The other Master Builders shout in outrage]
Please, everyone, everyone! Please.
WS William Shakespeare
[throws a pizza]
Rubbish!
[addressing the Master Builders]
Yes, it's true, I may not be a Master Builder. I may not have a lot of experience fighting or leading or coming up with plans, or having ideas in general. In fact, I'm not all that smart, and I'm not what you'd call a creative type; plus, generally unskilled, also scared and cowardly. I know what you're thinking: "He is the least qualified person in the world to lead us!" And you are right!
SC Swamp Creature
This is supposed to make us feel better?
What th-? No, there was about to be a but-
D Dumbledore
Yes. [Outside Cloud Cuckoo Land, Metalbeard and a few knights and cowboys are leaving]
You all be on your own! I be leaved this lost cause! [Metalbeard jumps onto his ship and sails off Cuckoo Land, as it purrs]
A house divided against itself would be better than this. [Lincoln jumps into his seat and it suddenly takes off like a spaceship]
Abraham Lincoln, you bring your space chair right back here! Come on, guys! [nearly gets hit by a falling object] We can [a Master Builder throws cheese at him] still do [another Master Builder throws a DVD disc at him] this! [yet another Master Builder throws a blue disc at him] Oh! Right?
MB Master Builder #1
You're not even a bit special.
[Wyldstyle, Batman and Unikitty sadly watch] [Batman whispering to Wyldstyle as they watch Emmet]
Well, you were right about him being a ding-dong. [the Master Builders continue to jeer and throw things at Emmet]
MB Master Builder #2
You're a huge disappointment!
MB Master Builder #3
[Emmet, sad and disappointed, turns and starts walking off]
Get him out of here, I don't wanna look at him!
[dolphin chirp, cat yowl]
Well, at least it can't get any worse.
MB Master Builder #4
Special? Not! [A giant golf ball suddenly falls out of nowhere, destroying the Dog.]
I was wrong. [Emmet yells and runs away as the falling ball falls onto the ground, crashes through the eye of the dog, and squishes an Island Warrior Master Builder]
It's the orb of Tee-te-list!
Ruh-roh, it's the bad guys.
Although, you did let the Piece of Resistance go. The one thing that can ruin my plans, the one thing that I asked you to take care of! [Lord Business comes over to Bad Cop and puts one arm around his shoulder] That's super frustrating; it makes me just wanna pick up whoever's standing closest to me and just... THROW THEM THROUGH THIS WINDOW, AND OUT INTO THE ̣̪INFINITE ABYSS OF NOTHINGNESS! [camera pans down to show the abyss going to a different world, then returns to the two. He picks up Bad Cop, takes him to the large glass window, and bangs his head against it] I wanna do it so bad!
I know you do, sir. But please! Please, don't.
[as he throws Bad Cop aside]
And it's not just you, Bad Cop, that keeps messing up my plans. People everywhere are always messing with my stuff. But I have a way to fix that. A way to keep things exactly the way they are supposed to be permanently. [he turns on his TV monitor, which shows his robots carrying the box containing the Kragle] Behold the most powerful weapon of all the relics: THE KRAZY, RASCALLY, ASSISTANT, GLUE, LOCKER, ERASER!!! OTHERWISE KNOWN AS... [his robots, wearing hazmat suits, open the box containing the Kragle and take it out] THE KRAGLE! IT WILL DESTROY THEM ALL, FOREVER! [We see the Kragle is, in fact, an old tube of Krazy Glue. Bad Cop gasps] As you can see, they're loading the Kragle in a big machine upstairs while sucking up apples and trees. I can also call it: The "Tentacle Arm Kragle Outside Sprayer", or TAKOS! The "S" is silent. So, on Taco Tuesday, it's going to spray the Kragle over everyone and everything with a bunch of super scary nozzles, like this one. [The tentacle reaches out and comes over to Bad Cop] I'll show you how it works.
Sir, I don’t know if it is necessary.
Don’t worry, I won’t test it on you; I’ll do it on your parents!
MC Ma Cop
How’s it going in the big city?
Mommy, Daddy, what are you doing there?
OK, Pa, I want you to act normal, like you are having a good day. [Pa Cop raises his hand] Yeah, keep your hand up like that.
Ma, scoot 2 steps to the right.
[Pa Cop moves]
Pa, why d-whenever I talk to Ma, you start to move? Get back to where you were!
[Pa Cop returns to his original position]
Now, Ma, hand on his shoulder.
[Pa Cop moves again]
Pa, you moved, and you just wrecked it! YOU WRECKED IT! Bad Cop, you see what I am talking about? All I’m asking for is total perfection. Send in a Micro-Manager!
MM Micro-Manager
[a Micro-Manager comes in the room]
Commencing micromanagement.
[The Micro-Manager reshapes Bad Cop’s parents]
And now, I just spray them with the TAKOS!
MC Ma Cop
[The tentacle sprays the parents with Krazy Glue]
Oh, Pa! Hold me!
PC Pa Cop
No, darling. I can’t move my legs!
Bad Cop, you feel bad about your parents, and you want to help them, do you?
S Shaq
Y’all ready for this? Oh no! They were ready for that.
Because it's Kragled. [to his robots] Machine gum! Fire! [they shoot at Superman with chewing gum making him splat to the ground stuck in the gum]
Don't worry, Superman! I'll get you out of there. [as Green Lantern goes to rescue Superman, his hands get stuck in the gum] Oh, my gosh! My hands are stuck! [he wriggles his legs and those get stuck in the gum too] My legs are stuck as well!
[as the robots have got holding of Emmet]
Ow, you're pulling my head off!!!
Babe, help me get him out of here!
I said, every man for himself.
Hey, you gotta be there for me. [Batman groans as he falls and finally lands onto the ground]
Fine! Fine, fine, fine! [reluctantly goes to her aide and fights off the robots attacking Emmet] Fine, fine, fine, fine!
I need you to have a better attitude about it!
I've a great attitude! [Batman gets the tracker off Emmet and throws it at one of the robots]
[Bad Cop picks up Emmet's tracker, which is now attached to the robot]
The Special's in the northwest quadrant; we've got him cornered. [he looks down, but all he sees is the robot with the tracker attached to its head smacking into a wall] Where did he go?
Oh, no! They've hit our silly cloud stabilizer!
Let's go, we need to get Emmet outta here!
Can't we build something? [suddenly, the space guy comes over to them]
Hey, I'm Ben! But you can call me Benny! And I can build a spaceship. Watch this. [he starts building a spaceship and chanting along as he works] [Benny singing] Spaceship, spaceship, spaceship, spaceship! Spaceshi--!
No, no, no, no! You can't; the skies are surrounded.
That's okay, I didn't really wanna build a spaceship. [Benny chuckles] Anyway, that's cool. [looks visibly disappointed as he kicks his half-built spaceship and it falls apart]
Well, where can we go where we can’t be found?
How about we went underwater?
Great idea, a Bat submarine patent pending.
And dream catchers, just in case we took a nap.
Like an underwater spaceship!
But we can't build all of them at once!
WB Wyldstyle, Batman, Benny, Unikitty and Vitruvius
[as they stick together like a team for a moment]
READY? BREAK!
[as the others go off-screen]
Okay.
[as they float around Emmet's empty mind]
There must be something around here that proves his potential. If The Man Upstairs chose him to the Special, there must be a reason.
See? He doesn't even know about The Man Upstairs.
Does he have super gross hands that look like they're made out of big pink sausages, like eagle talons mixed with squid? [suddenly, they turn to see Emmet being raised up on a large human-like hand]
Wait. You've seen the...? [Emmet turns and notices he's standing on a large hand]
Wow! That's what I was just thinking about!
I had this weird dream when I touched the Piece. Well, I... I mean, I wasn't asleep, so it wasn't really a dream...
Master Builders spend years training themselves to clear their minds enough to have even a fleeting glimpse of The Man Upstairs. And yet, your mind is already so prodigiously empty that there is nothing in it to clear away in the first place. With proper training, you could become a great Master Builder.
The prophecy chose you, Emmet.
But I can't do any of the stuff that the prophecy says I'm supposed to do.
All you have to do is to believe; then you will see everything. Are you ready, my son?
Then, we haven't a moment to lose. We must assemble the Master Builders.
C Cowboy
[In the saloon, the cowboys are still playing.]
Do you think zeppelins are a bad investment?
[Bad Cop storms in the saloon, his horse galloping, the cowboy's grunt]
Has anyone seen this guy? [shows a picture of Emmet]
S Sheriff
Wait a minute, draw a cowboy hat on him.
[Bad Cop draws a cowboy hat on the wanted poster]
Hey, everybody. You don't know me, but I'm on TV, so you can trust me. I know things seem kind of bad right now, but there is a way out of this. This is Emmet. [footage of Emmet is shown] And he was just like all of you. A face in the crowd, following the same instructions as you. He was so good at fitting in; no one ever saw him. And I owe you an apology, because I used to look down on people like that. [Wyldstyle's broadcast is watched by all Lego citizens across the realms in the universe, including Middle Zealand, where a knight is reading from a scroll]
K Knight
I used to think they were followers with no ideas or brains.
Because it turns out Emmet had great ideas. And if they seemed weird and kind of pointless, they actually came closer than anyone else to saving the universe. And now we have to finish what he started by making whatever weird thing pops into our heads. All of you have the ability inside of you to be a ground breaker. And I mean literally, break the ground! Peel off the pieces, and tear apart your walls! Build things only you could build, defend yourselves! We need to fight back against President Business's plans to freeze us! [the Lego citizens start putting Lego pieces together and building things] Today will not be known as Taco Tuesday; it will be known as Freedom Friday! [the citizens start cheering] But still on a Tuesday! [suddenly, they are interrupted as the robots burst from the barricaded studio entry.]
End of the line! [just as the robots are about to attack, they are quickly disposed of by Bad Cop]
I hope there's still a Good Cop in me somewhere. [draws a new face for Good Cop with a marker]
SC Scribble Cop (Good Cop)
I'll hold these guys off. You go stop 'em. Yay!
Great idea! But how will we get there? [suddenly, Benny starts having an idea]
VM Voice Man
T-minus 10, 9, 8...
VM Voice Man
...7, 6, 5, 4...
I could build a spaceship! [he looks around to see if anyone disagrees] You-you're not-you're not going to say "No"?
SC Scribble Cop
Build away, whatever your name is!
[laughs and jumps around in excitement as he quickly assembles a spaceship]
SPACESHIP! [Benny and the team fly the spaceship through the different realms] SPACESHIP! SPACESHIP! SPACESHIP! SPACESHIP! SPACESHIP! [the team are spotted by the robots]
All units, attack that spaceship! [the robots chase after the spaceship in their aircraft and start shooting at it]
SPACESHIP! [quickly steers the spaceship away from sight]
Where did he go?! [suddenly, the spaceship flies up through the robots' aircraft, destroying them]
[as they fly over Bricksburg]
Wyldstyle, look! It's the citizens! [the citizens have built aircraft which they are using to attack Lord Business's robots]
And don't forget us; we're Master Builders.
What is going on?! You stop building that stuff! Just stop it!
If only Emmet was here to see this. He'd say something adorable, like... [it cuts to Emmet, who is falling through the deep vortex of the abyss.]
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Am I just gonna keep... falling... FOREVERRRRRRRRR??!!!?????!!!!!!!!!!! [finally, Emmet lands somewhere and it cuts to blackness; the thud noises are heard as he lands hardly.]
[Emmet becomes conscious, but he finds he can't move, but is able to think]
Is this another vision? Where am I? [he sees the sign for the Octan Tower.] Is that the office tower? [we see Emmet has fallen on the ground in a live-action basement where all the different Lego realms, including Bricksburg, have been assembled on a large table] Bricksburg! [Boom! He suddenly feels the ground shaking as if someone has taken a giant footstep] What was that?! [cuts to a human’s legs running around the basement heading towards Emmet] No, no, no, no! [a human accidentally steps on Emmet as it carries on running.] Ahhh! [A human is playing with the Lego set and actually carrying the spaceship Benny had built as if it's flying.]
Finn Spaceship! Spaceship!
What in the world is that? [he continues to watch a human (which reveals to be a boy named Finn) playing with the Lego spaceship] It's... adorable. [suddenly, Finn notices Emmet lying on the floor] Uh-oh! [Finn comes over to pick Emmet up] No! No! No, no, no, no! Hey, don't eat me! Don't eat me! Do not eat me! Please! [Finn gently picks Emmet up and looks at him]
Finn Hi, Emmet.
Uh... hi? [Finn stares at him] Is this The Man...? [Suddenly, the basement door opens, and the shadow of a man appears at the top of the stairs, and he starts walking down the stairs] The Man Upstairs. [when the man reaches the last step, the shadow reveals it's Finn's father wearing a business suit and looking annoyed, which is look-alike of Lord Business.]
The Man Upstairs What happened?! [as he sees all the different Lego pieces all over the place] No, no, no. This is a disaster. Why...why is...? What? What?! What?! The-the...why is the dragon on top of the luxury condo development?!
Finn I was just playing and...
The Man Upstairs Look, I know it's hard to understand. But this is Dad's stuff, okay? All of this that you see before you is all your father's. And everything is thought out; there's... [he looks around and sees the top of Octan Tower missing] What did you [do] down here?? Did you take the top off of the tower?!?
Finn It was an accident.
The Man Upstairs You end up accidentally, expertly, dangerously, and carefully took the entire top off of that tower?
Finn Yes.
The Man Upstairs You know the rules; this isn't a toy!
Finn Um...it kind of is.
The Man Upstairs No, actually it's a highly sophisticated interlocking brick system.
Finn But we bought it at the toy store.
The Man Upstairs We did, but they way I'm using it makes it an adult thing.
Finn The box for this one said "Ages 8 to 14"!
The Man Upstairs That's a suggestion. They have to put that on there.
Finn Because maybe we won't be able to resist playing with all this.
The Man Upstairs Look, I move your stuff over near to the decorations. All those bricks, you can build anything you want. [Emmet sees the larger Lego pieces piled together in a box; he notices Finn looking sad] Finn, we're gonna play a little game. It's called "let's put everything back the way you found it."
Finn But, Dad, you don't understand…
The Man Upstairs So I can make things the way they're supposed to be. [he turns, goes over to the nearby table and picks up a tube of Krazy Glue] Permanently. [the camera zooms over the drawer to reveal more krazy glue]
[gasps and realizes the more krazy glue]
More Kragles?! [back in the Lego world, Lord Business tries to stop the citizens from fighting back]
This rebellion ends right now! [he releases a bunch of micro-managers onto the city and they start attacking, then we see Finn's father is actually the micro-manger as using the Krazy Glue to stick a flying Lego truck the onto the Lego board]
BC Bricksburg Citizen
Oh, no! [then we see a Lego fireman who's build a machine out of his fire truck to fight off the micro-managers]
F Fireman
Ha-ha! Fire in the hole! [Finn's father goes to pick up the fireman's truck] Wait! What's happening? No, wait! No, we're going down! [Finn's father destroys the assembled fire truck Lego piece] No! [we see one of Emmet's neighbors, Sharon, who's build a sled with her cats tied to the front as they rush away from the micro-managers]
S Sharon
Hold on, dear, we're coming for you. [the micro-manager gets her which is Finn's father gluing Sharon to the Lego board.] Ah!
S Sharon
Oh no! [Emmet watches in horror as Finn's father continues to glue the Lego pieces]
Arr, there be too many micro-managers!
The Man Upstairs [Finn's father is holding Benny's spaceship in his hand]
What am I holding here?
Finn It's a battleship.
The Man Upstairs No, it's a hodge-podge; that's what it is. What's Batman doing on it? [he throws Batman off the spaceship, then picks up Metal Beard] What is this? A robot pirate? [he throws Metal Beard down and he lands next to Batman]
Dang it. [Emmet watches all this in horror as Finn holds him]
Stop! Stop it! No! Stop it! Stop! [Finn's father notices Emmet in Finn's hand]
The Man Upstairs You got glue all over that construction worker. Here, give that to me. [he takes Emmet from Finn]
Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! [he looks down and sees all his friends scattered all over the Lego board] All of those are my friends! No! Stop it!
We were a hearty crew, but it be… it be over.
No! [Finn's father turns Emmet around in his hand, and Emmet notices the Piece of Resistance on the floor] The Piece of Resistance! I can still save them.
The Man Upstairs Let's get this gunk off this construction worker. [he places Emmet on his work table]
Finn He's not just a construction worker, Dad. He's the hero.
The Man Upstairs No, he's not. He is an ordinary, regular, generic construction worker, and I need to put him back the way he was. Now, where is my Xacto knife? [as Emmet lies on the table]
I gotta get the Piece of Resistance. If I could get the attention of the smaller creature. I gotta move. [Finn's father continues to look for his knife]
The Man Upstairs Where is that? [Using all his strength, Emmet manages to slightly move on the table, catching Finn's father's eye, but he quickly dismisses it and looks away] Alright. [Emmet starts to twitch more on the table, and every time he moves, Finn's father turns to look at him, not sure of what he's seen. And as he turns back to look for his knife, Emmet tries to move again]
M-m-move! [he finally manages to move enough to drop himself off the table] Ow! [this catches Finn's attention]
Finn Uh, Dad?
The Man Upstairs Yeah?
Finn I think I saw the Xacto over there in Middle Zealand.
The Man Upstairs Oh, great. Thank you.
Finn You're welcome. [as he goes to get the knife, Finn quickly goes over and picks Emmet from the floor and hands him the Piece of Resistance] It's up to you now, Emmet. [he then turns and looks at a cat poster with the phrase "Believe" written on it, which Emmet also notices; he then remembers what Vitruvius had told him. And then, suddenly, the cat's mouth on the poster starts moving as Vitruvius speaks]
Believe. I know that sounds like a cat poster, but it's true. [Finn uses a magic Lego portal that he's built to send Emmet down, where he can start moving again, and crashes back in Bricksburg.]
[the words "8½ years later…" appear on screen.] [the scene cuts to a man named Emmet Brickowski waking up in his apartment and turns off his alarm clock; cut to his bedroom view; he gets out bed, yawns and stretches, and walks through to his living room as the camera pans left]
Good morning, apartment! Good morning, doorway! Good morning, clock. Good morning, wall. Good morning, ceiling. Good morning, floor! Ready to start the day! [cuts to the row of books; he looks for it and grabs a book from a shelf] Ah, here it is! [cuts to a close-up of the instruction book; he reads the front cover manual] The instructions to fit in, have everybody like you, and always be happy! Step 1: breathe. [cuts to Emmet inhales and exhales deeply] Okay, got that one down. [cuts to the page of instruction book] Step 2: greet the day, smile and say... [cut to exterior apartment; all the Lego citizens opening their windows and yelling]
LC LEGO® Citizens
Good morning, city! [the citizens all say, "Good morning, city!"; camera zooms out to show the city]
C Citizen
Good morning, city! Top of the morning to you, city! [cuts to Emmet continuing with the instructions from the manual]
Step 3: exercise. Jumping jacks, hit 'em! [he start jumping on the spot] One! Two! Three! I am so pumped up! [cuts to the page of instruction book] Step 4: shower. [cuts to Emmet getting in the shower and starts washing himself] And always be sure to keep the soap out of your--- ahhh! [he screams as the soap gets into his eyes; cuts to Emmet standing in front of the bathroom mirror shaving] Shave your face, brush your teeth. Comb your hair. [he laughs to himself as he brushes his hair; cuts to the page of the instruction book] Wear clothes. [cuts to Emmet walking out of his apartment naked until he realizes] Oops! Almost forgot that one! [he turns back into his apartment; cut to his bedroom quickly trying on different outfits] No. No. Uh-uh. No. Not that. Wrong. [he finally wears his construction uniform] And that's it, check. [cuts to kitchen, where Emmet is making breakfast] Step 9: eat a complete breakfast with all the special people in your life. [cut to him sitting in his living room eating his breakfast alone; he turns to his pot plant] Hey, Planty! What do you want to do this morning? Watch TV? Me too! [he turns on the television; cuts to the front TV showing President Business giving a presentation]
Hi, I'm President Business, president of the Octan Corporation and the World. Let's all take extra care to follow the instructions... [whispers into microphone] ...or you'll be put to sleep [shouting] And DON'T forget Taco Tuesday's coming next week! [mariachi band shows up and confetti falls as they start celebrating and dancing] That's the day every rule-following citizen gets a free taco and my love! Have a great day, everybody! [cut to Emmet]
You have a great day, too, President Business. Man, he's such a cool guy. I always wanna hear more of... wait! Did he say “put to sleep”?! [suddenly, Emmet gets distracted by the TV showing a promo of a sitcom]
TP TV Presenter
Tonight on "Where are my Pants?"
AO Actor on TV Show
Honey? Where are my pants? [he steps out showing that he's not wearing any pants and we hear canned laughter; cut to Emmet laughs histarically at this and falls of the couch]
What was I just thinking? I don't care. [scene cuts to the page of instruction book] Step 12: Greet your neighbors. [camera pans right to Emmet’s neighbors walk by] Hey Joe.
[dodges a pipe]
Whoa ho ho! Hey, Surfer Dave.
SD Surfer Dave
Hey, brah.
Good morning, Sherrie, [Sherrie’s cats walk by] Oh, hey Jasmine, hey Dexter, hey Luke, hey LeRoy, hey Fluffy, hey Fluffy Jr., hey Fluffy Sr., hey Jeff.
[Vitruvius is decapitated by Lord Business.]
Vitruvius! NO! Vitruvius.
My sweet Emmet, come closer. You must know something about the prophecy.
I know, I'm doing my best, but I d-
The prophecy... I made it up.
I made it up. It's not true.
But that means I'm just... I'm not the Special?
[last words before his death]
You must listen. What I'm about to tell you will change the course of history... [dies]
No. No. [the group looks visibly sad as they are led away by the robots]
Hey, not so special anymore, huh? [the robots strapped each of the group into one of the Think Tank seats] Well, guess what? No one ever told me I was special. I never got a trophy just for showing up. I'm not some special little snowflake, no! [A micro-manager picks up Emmet and straps him onto the battery] But as un-special as I am, you are a thousand billion times more un-special than me. Robots, bring me the Sword of Exact-Zero!
Yes, Lord Business. [the robots hand Lord Business an Xacto razor and he walks over to Emmet]
Must be weird. One minute, you're the most special person in the universe. And the next minute… you're nobody! [uses the razor to cut the Piece of Resistance from Emmet's back] Oh, I have a nice spot for this in my relic room. [he then deliberately throws the Piece of Resistance out of the window, breaking it.] Uh-oh, my mistake! There it goes!
Bye-bye, forever! [the Piece of Resistance falls into the abyss] Well, I guess there's only one thing left to do! [he turns to his robots] ROBOTS! RELEASE THE KRAGLE! START THE COUNTDOWN! [his presses the button] and Computer?
