I feel like maybe I should touch that.
V Voice
It's so interesting... Touch the Piece... Touch the Piece... It's so interesting... Touch the Piece... [Emmet gets up and starts walking over to the giant block]
Uh... [he becomes completely transfixed and steps over his instruction manual]
[he slowly extends his hand and touches the block and infinite gets a vision] [record scratches, which includes Vitruvius reciting the Piece of Resistance prophecy]
A Special one with face of yellow... [Emmet falls, screaming] ...will make the Piece of Resistance found from its hiding refuge underground... [Emmet is still falling] ...this Master Builder... [girl screams] ...will thwart the Kragle and save the realm...
Wyldstyle Come on, Emmet, protect the Special!
[Emmet then passes out]
...the Special has arisen.
B Boy
It's your turn to be the hero.
[as Emmet slowly wakes he hears someone's voice interrogating him] [Bad Cop echoes in distorted voice]
Wake up.
[Emmet falls asleep] [echoes in distorted voice]
Ugh.
Come on, wake up! Where is the Master Builders?! How did you find the Piece of Resistance?! Eh?!, where are the others hiding?
[Emmet's wake up out voice interrogating hears as starts to open his eyes] [in normal voice]
Good morning, apartment...?
[in normal voice]
WAKE UP! [Emmet screams suddenly an angry looking cop shines a light onto Emmet making him immediately awake] How did you find the Piece of Resistance?
The Piece of Resistance. [Bad Cop grunts, and screams as he falls and finally lands onto the ground, suddenly he knocks a chair aside in anger scaring Emmet, we see Emmet is being held in an interrogation room with his hands shackled to chair]
I don't, where am I, what's happening?
What's happening? Playing dumb, master builder?
[to Bad Cop]
YOU'RE LIED TO ME!!
Oh, so you've never heard of the prophecy?
You're a liar! We'll kill ya. [Bad Cop grunting and screams, starts to kick and wrestle a chair]
Look, um... [Bad Cop chuckles] I watch a lot of cop shows on TV... [Emmet gasps] Isn't there supposed to also be a-? Isn't there supposed to be a Good Cop?! [Emmet grunts as he falls and finally lands onto the ground]
Oh yes. But we're not done yet. [switches head]
GC Good Cop
Hi, buddy! I'm your friendly neighborhood police officer! Would you like a glass of water?
Yeah, actually that sounds-
[switches back to his face]
TOO BAAAD!!! [smacks the glass away] Security cameras picked up this! [grunts] You were found at the construction site convulsing with a strange piece!
Then why is it permanently stuck to your back?
[peers back, sees that The Piece of Resistance is glued onto his back, and screams in alarm, but has a panic attack, and tries to get it off]
Oh no! Aaaah! Ah! Ah! Get off me!! It won't come off, it's chasin' me! Look, it's not my fault! I have no idea how this thing got on my back! [Bad Cop changes his face to Good Cop]
GC Good Cop
Of course, buddy. I believe you!
Great! [suddenly Bad Cop appears beside Emmet] [Screams] Aaaahh!! I don't wanna scared?
I "believe" you, too! You see the quotations I'm making with my claw hands? It means I don't believe you! Why else would you show up with that thing on your back just three days before President Business is going to use the Kragle to end the world?
President Business is gonna end the world? But he's such a good guy. And Octan, they make good stuff: [flashback books] Music, dairy products, coffee, TV shows, surveillance systems, all history books, voting machines... [flashback ends] ...Wait a minute.
Oh, come on, you can't be this stupid!
Look, this is a misunderstanding, I'm just a regular, normal, ordinary guy, and I'm late to meet my best friends in the whole world, and they're probably missing me right now, they're probably out looking around! Hey, where's Emmet? Hey, where's my best friend Emmet? And you know what. Ask all my friends! THEY'LL TELL YOU!!
[Emmet looks devastated; to Bad Cop]
There you go, I told you I was a nobody.
[sighs]
Oh. It's the perfect cover.
I can't break him. Take him to the meltin' chamber and do nothing.
What?! [in the meltin' chamber Emmet has been strapped to the meltin' device, Emmet screams 10 seconds] NOOOOOOOOO, NOOOOOOOOO, NOOOOOOOOO, NOOOOOOOOOO, NOOOOOOOOOOO, NOOOOOOOOO, NOOOOOOOOO, NOOOOOOOOO, NOOOOOOOOO, NOOOOOOOOOOO!! You're going to melt me?! AM I GONNA DIE?!
GC Good Cop
You'll live! You'll be fine! [Bad Cop/Good Cop's phone rings and Bad Cop answers it as he switches back to his face]
President Business, I have him right here, sir. A blue beam?! Yes and no, we've told him he'll live so he doesn't try to escape, but uh, we're lying to kill him. [Bad Cop presses the button to activate the meltin' device and Evil Villain tells Bad Cop]
I'll never telling you, cop! NEVEEEER!!
[starts to weeping]
Stop it! [leaves]
Wait! What did he just say?!
Get off the melting chamber!
Evil Villain, GET OUT OF THE MELTING CHAMBER, NOW! [Evil Villain leaves] Hold still, Emmet?
Wait, there is obviously been a mix-up here! You have got the wrong-- [a blue beam of light is shoot at Emmet's back to remove the Piece of Resistance and screams] OOOOOW!! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ah-ah-ah-eh-ow! That is gonna start hurting pretty soon!
[as the Robot starts to increase the heat while grinning meanicingly, the hooded woman that Emmet had noticed in the construction site earlier appears and attacks the robots, overpowering them all down and goes to Free Emmet]
No,no,no,nonononono...
[Emmet grunts and falls she frees him from his iron shackles, Wyldstyle grumbles stops. Emmet gasps]
Whoa! Who are you?! [Wyldstyle sighs and takes off her hood to reveal her face and Emmet is transfixed again] It's you...?
Wyldstyle Come with me, if you wanna not die. [just as Emmet goes to grab her hand, Emmet and Wyldstyle gasp, Good Cop enters the chamber with a croissant]
GC Good Cop
Hi, everybody! How's the Melting goi--? [as he notices Emmet escaping with Wyldstyle Bad Cop appears]
Hey, hey, hey, heeeeeey! [he starts shooting at Emmet and Wyldstyle] Red alert, red alert! I need everyone, repeat, everyone, to go after the special! [kicks the melting chamber, screams] OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW! THAT HURTS!
Evil Villain, you're never seen fired again!
The Emmet NEVER give me the melting chamber again! You're stupid red beam of light and runaway! [Evil Villain bites the Bad Cop]
A wondrous land full of knights, castles, muttons, torture weapons, poverty, leeches, illiteracy, and um...
[Out of the sun flying straight towards them is a...]
DRAGON!!! [Emmet screams as the dragon swoops the Batwing as the Batwing dives down to avoid it]
Yeah, that too. [Batman quickly turns the Batwing back into the Batmobile and lands the car into a forest area, it speeds along the track, Batman makes his aircraft transform into a car and lands on the ground 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 some music, sending heavy metal blasting through Emmet and Vitruvius, bouncing them and the roof of the Batmobile up and down, Emmet screams he turns on his stereo making Emmet and Vitruvius jump in the back]
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 [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, [Batman: Super rich!] take it all the way to the top [Batman: Kinda makes it better!] and park the car. [the Batmoblie 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 and they are surrounded by clouds] Now, I just need to give the secret knock.
[as the robots have got hold of Emmet]
OW, YOU'RE PULLING MY TORSO OFF!!
Wyldstyle Babe, help me get him out of here!
I said every man for himself.
Wyldstyle Hey, you gotta be there for me. [Batman groans as he falls and finally lands onto the ground]
Fine! Fine, fine, fine! [reluctantly he goes to her aide and fights off the robots attacking Emmet] Fine, fine, fine, fine!
Wyldstyle 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 corner! [he looks down but all he sees is the robot with the tracker attached to his head smacking into a wall] Where did he go?
Oh, no! They've hit our silly cloud stabilizer!
Wyldstyle 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--!
Wyldstyle 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. [Groaning] [looking visibly disappointed he kicks his half built spaceship and it falls apart]
[he trails off hoping for any positive comments]
You are so disappointing on so many levels.
Why are my pants cold and wet? [A shot of water rising in the sub] Uh...
[a wall is breached and even more water floods in]
Hull breach!
[as she tries to plug a hole]
We're falling apart at the seams! [screams] [as the submarine starts to fall apart]
This is not how Batman dies!
Wyldstyle [Emmet screams, as the submarine fills with water Emmet starts to drown. Wyldstyle reaches for him]
Emmet! Hold on, hold on!
Wyldstyle [the shot goes to outside the sub, red lights coming from the windows as it goes through the water as an alarm beeps faster and faster signalling a detonation]
Deep breath! [gasps] Deep breath, everybod--!!
[the sub explodes, the camera follows a floating piece of debris to the surface] [where Bad Cop and a few Micro Managers are looking around]
Micro-Managers, what's going on down there?
MM Micro-Manager
Scanning submarine wreckage. No survivors detected.
Scuba Cops? Dredge the entire ocean if you have to, we've go to find that piece, [Scuba Cops dive in the water to begin their search] let's get these prisoners back to Lord Business and give him the good news: "the Special is no more"! [they all depart from the wreckage]
: Okay. :[Emmet walks up to the platform and waves to everyone. 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... [suddenly gets interrupted by another Master Builder]
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 Metal Beard, and I'll tell you me tale of woe.
Oh, great. Here we go again. [Metal Beard 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. [to Emmet] So if ye think it'd be a good idea to return to that foresaken 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...
[Outside Cloud Cuckoo Land, Metalbeard and a few knights and cowboys are leaving]
You all be on your own! I be leaving 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 spaceship]
Abraham Lincoln, you bring your space chair right back here! Come on, guys! [nearly gets hit by an object] We can still do this! [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!
Well, at least it can't get any worse.
Master Builder 4: Special? Not!
[A giant golf ball suddenly falls out of nowhere, destroying the Dog] :
[Emmet yells and runs away as the falling ball falls onto the ground, goes through the eye of the dog and squishes an Island Warrior Master Builder]
It's the orb of Tee-te-list.
You... don't have to be... the bad guy. You are the most talented... most interesting... and extraordinary person in the universe. And you are capable of amazing things, because you are the Special.
[Lord Business looks shocked and lowers the Kragle]
And so am I, and so is everyone, the prophecy is made up, but it's also true, it's about all of us, right now, it's about you, and you, still, can change everything.
[he holds up the Piece of Resistance. Business, touched by Emmet's speech drops the Kragle and starts walking over to him. Cut to the real world where Finn's father approaches his son, kneels down and hugs Finn, at the same time in Lego world, we see Lord Business is hugging Emmet.]
Oh, we got a hugger. [Emmet hands the Piece of Resistance to Lord Business] Be careful, I have been told... it might explode.
[Lord Business winks at Emmet, makes his way to the Kragle, in the real world Finn's father places the lid on the Krazy Glue, at the same time Lord Business places the Piece of Resistance on to the Kragle and into the TAKO device] [strains, exhales deeply]
Emmet, thank you.
[Emmet inhales]
And I just want you to know, from the bottom of my heart, from this moment forward, I solemnly promise that I will never--
[suddenly the Kragle explodes causing all the micro-managers to de-activiate. Emmet lands in the middle of the city where his friends are.]
EMMET!
[Chuckling]
Hey, everyone! Is everyone, okay. Where's Lucy? [Unikitty laughs, as the micro-managers fall down] [Wyldstyle comes up from under a micro-manager]
Wyldstyle Emmet!
Lucy! [Emmet rushes over to her and Wyldstyle jumps into his arms]
Wyldstyle We did it! [Unikitty laughs] [Batman clears throat. Just as Emmet and Wyldstyle are about to hold hands Batman interrupts them] [Emmet gasps] Oh, eeehhh. Emmet, wait, Batman, there's something I need to say to you!
No, Wyldstyle. I mean, Lucy! [he points to Emmet] He's the hero you deserve!
Wyldstyle [Wyldstyle smiles and Emmet looks behind him to see who Batman was pointing at]
Thanks, Batman!
[Wyldstyle turns Emmet's face towards her and they finally hold hands, everyone cheers for them, then we see Vitruvius's ghostly form hovering over the city watching them] [whispers]
I liked Emmet before he was cool. [we see Lord Business is pouring an antidote to unstick everybody]
Whoops! I have the antidote for the Kragle! HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?!
F Finn
[at the same time in the real world Finn's father is pouring glue remover all over the Lego pieces as Finn watches]
De-kragler!
MU The Man Upstairs
Watch this. YEAH! [as Finn's father pours glue remover onto Pa and Ma Cop Finn reunites Bad Cop with his parents]
F Finn
Oh, Mommy, Daddy, you're okay!
MC Ma Cop
[scene changes to Bad Cop reunited with his parents] [Ma Cop chuckles]
Oh, son! [Bad Cop who's now using his drawn on Good Cop face hugs his parents]
GC Good Cop
Hi, Mom, hi, Dad.
PC Pa Cop
[chuckles]
We're okay, son. [Pa Cop chuckles, in the real world as Finn and his father are playing with the Lego pieces Mom calls out]
M Mom
[he door opens calls out something]
Uh, hey, guys? Time to come up for dinner! It’s Taco Tuesday, your favorite!
MU The Man Upstairs
Okay, honey, well, be up in a sec.
F Finn
Oh, yeah, we'll be up in a sec!
MU The Man Upstairs
Well, I got to tell you something.
F Finn
[hysterically]
What?
MU The Man Upstairs
[to Finn the antidote for the Kragle, favorite and his father Lego pieces]
Now that I'm letting you come down here and play, guess who else gets to come down here and play?
MU The Man Upstairs
Your sister.
[last lines; as everyone Emmet and the gang are having a feast on the Double-Decker couch]
We'll things sure have a way of working out smoothly. Am I right, guys? [suddenly an alien spaceship hovers above them] Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat...?
D Duplo
[a trio of Duplo alien figures descend into the Lego world] [Baby voice]
Well, we're from the planet Duplon, and we're here to destroy you.
... Oh, man. [End of The Lego Movie]
[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.
Wyldstyle 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]
Wyldstyle 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!
Wyldstyle How did you...?
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]
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 [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.
Wyldstyle 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...

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]

[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.
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!!!
Wyldstyle Babe, help me get him out of here!
I said, every man for himself.
Wyldstyle 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!
Wyldstyle 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!
Wyldstyle 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--!
Wyldstyle 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.
Batman is the worst person I've ever met.
[suddenly, Batman appears behind them with the Millennium Falcon's hyperdrive]
Need a hyperdrive?
Wyldstyle Babe!
Wyldstyle [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?
Wyldstyle [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]
BW 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]
BW 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.
BW Bruce Wayne
Cool! What kind of sound system does it have?
Uh, sound system? Well, I mean, we have an iPod shuffle.
BW 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.
BW 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?
Wyldstyle [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?
Wyldstyle 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
Wyldstyle [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!
Wyldstyle [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.
Wyldstyle I don't.
[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!
Wyldstyle No!
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?
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.]
Wyldstyle 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!
Wyldstyle Wait! What are you...? What are you...?
Now it's your turn to be the hero. [Wyldstyle realizing what Emmet is planning to do]
Wyldstyle No!
Twelve Mississippi, Eleven Mississippi...
See you later, alligator.
Wyldstyle Don't! [Emmet jumps out the broken window.]
Nine Mississippi, eight Mississippi...
Wyldstyle [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]
Wyldstyle 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]
Wyldstyle 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.
Wyldstyle 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!
