One day, a talented lass or fellow, a special one with face of yellow, will make the Piece of Resistance found from its hiding refuge underground, and with a noble army at the helm, this Master Builder will thwart the Kragle and save the realm, and be the greatest, most interesting, most important person of all times. All this is true because it rhymes.

1 quoteScenes with Vitruvius
18 scenesThe Kragle, the most powerful super weapon is mine: [he opens the Kragle] [He opens the case. We see something glowing] OH, THE KRAGLE! [laughs evilly as his horns shoot fire] Now my evil power will be unlimited! CAN YOU FEEL ME?!
WHOOOOOO! Nothing's gonna stop me now!
Wait, there's a prophecy.
About the Piece of Resistance.
Oh, yes, the supposed missing Piece of Resistance that can somehow magically disarm the Kragle, gimme a break! [to Lord Business] [Vitruvius rises and turns to face Lord Business, suddenly his eyes shine brightly] [Gasping]
One day a talented lass or fellow, a Special one with face of yellow, will make the Piece of Resistance found from its hiding refuge underground, and with a noble army at the helm, this Master Builder will thwart the Kragle and save the realm, and be the greatest, most interesting, most important person of all times, all this is true, because it rhymes.
A special one? What a bunch of hippy dippy baloney.
I feel like maybe I should touch that.
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]
Touch the--
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...
Come on, Emmet, protect the Special!
...the Special has arisen.
It's your turn to be the hero.
Wake up.
Come on, wake up! Where is the Master Builders?! How did you find the Piece of Resistance?! Eh?!, where are the others hiding?
Good morning, apartment...?
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 what?
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?
No, I... master builder?
Oh, so you've never heard of the prophecy?
No, I...
Or the Special?
No! No, I...
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]
Hi, buddy! I'm your friendly neighborhood police officer! Would you like a glass of water?
Yeah, actually that sounds-
TOO BAAAD!!! [smacks the glass away] Security cameras picked up this! [grunts] You were found at the construction site convulsing with a strange piece!
That's disgusting!
Then why is it permanently stuck to your back?
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]
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!!
Okay, let's find the wizard and get this over with. [growls] [Emmet gasps, yelps] [Wyldstyle notices Vitruvius playing the piano at the saloon] There he is. [she goes over to him] Vitruvius.
Who? I've never heard of that man, whom I am not. Who are you?
It's me.
I am a blind man, and cannot see.
It's Wyldstyle. [Emmet groans]
Are you a DJ? [gasps] Wait, wait, are you the student I used to have who was so insecure she kept changing her name? Yeah, first Dark Storm... Then Gemini, then there was Neversmile--- Then Freak Face... Then Snazzypants... [suddenly Vitruvius stops playing and turns to Wyldstyle] Meet me upstairs in 10-Seconds. [he then turns and starts to walk off using his, Vitruvius grunts as he falls and finally lands onto the ground, scepter when suddenly he bangs into the wall]
That would be great, but Emmet is the one who found the Piece. [Emmet turns and waves he chuckles]
Oh, okay. [turning to Emmet] Emmet, the prophecy states that... you're the special, the most talented--
I'm not sure he's the Special, actually--[Emmet's started chuckles]--because he's not even a Master Builder. Watch! Emmet, just given what's around you, build something simple!
Uh, what are you doing? [suddenly Vitruvius pulls off Emmet's hair revealing his Lego head]
We are entering your mind...
WHAT?!?!?!
...to prove that you have to unlock the potential to be a Master Builder, ujjayi breath! [Vitruvius chants in magical language] Shut your face, a found The Dog! [Vitruvius and Wyldstyle start bowing and moving around Emmet until finally we see all of them in Emmet's mind which is a vast empty space] [CRACK!!!]
I'm not hearing a lot of activity here.
I don't think he's ever had an original thought in his life.
That's not true. For instance, one time I wanted to have a bunch of my friends over to watch TV. [suddenly a TV forms behind him] Not unlike this TV that just showed up magically. And not everybody could fit on my one couch. [a couch forms behind him] And I thought to myself, well, what if there’s such a thing as a bunk bed, but as a couch? [suddenly the couch forms into a double decker couch] Introducing the double decker couch: So everyone could watch TV, together and be buddies! [dead silence]
That's literally the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
Please, Wyldstyle. Lemme handle this, that idea is just the worst. [to Emmet]
A wondrous land full of knights, castles, muttons, torture weapons, poverty, leeches, illiteracy, and um...
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!
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.
Bonjour.
Girl, what are you doing right now?
Oh, hey... Hey, what's up?
Yeah, yeah.
Do you wanna sit together at the meeting?
Uh, I've to go back to Krypton. [Superman quickly flies off]
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... [Benny: 'Hello!'] ...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]
Why are my pants cold and wet? [A shot of water rising in the sub] Uh...
The walls are crying!
We're falling apart at the seams! [screams] [as the submarine starts to fall apart]
This is not how Batman dies!
Emmet! Hold on, hold on!
Wyldstyle!
Deep breath! [gasps] Deep breath, everybod--!!
Micro-Managers, what's going on down there?
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.
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.
Who are you?
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.
Rubbish!
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!
This is supposed to make us feel better?
What th-? No, there was about to be a but...
You're a butt!
Yes.
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]
Why are you leaving?!
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?
You're not even a bit special.
Well, you were right about him being a ding-dong. [the Master Builders continue to jeer and throw things at Emmet]
You're a huge disappointment!
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] :
I was wrong.
It's the orb of Tee-te-list.
Well, we're still alive.
YEAH!!!
I always believed in you, Emmet.
I don't mean to spoil the party, but does anyone else notice we're stuck in the middle of the ocean on this couch? I mean, it's not like a big gigantic ship is just gonna come out of nowhere and save us. [suddenly a big gigantic ship becomes visible as it comes over to them] My, gosh!
What's the last thing Lord Business would expect Master Builders to do?
Build a spaceship?
Kill a chicken?
Marry a marshmallow!
Why, this. [changes into a singing face: ♪Hum hum hum How ya gonna keep them down at the farm?♪♪]
No! It's follow the instructions.
Sounds weird.
No, wait guys. Listen. You guys are so talented and imaginative... but you can't work as a team. I'm just a construction worker, but when I have a plan and we were working together, we could build a skyscraper. Now you guys are Master Builders. Just imagine what you could do if you did that! ...You could save the universe!
Well said, Emmet. Well said.
Really?
She be a fine speech there, laddie.
Okay. Somebody get me some markers... some construction paper... and some GLITTER GLUE!!! [Emmet stands in front of the instructions he's drawn] I call this, Emmet's plan to get inside the tower, put the Piece of Resistance on the Kragle and save the world, I've built a hundred just like them back in the city, if we could just get in there, I know where all the air ducts and wiring are located, I can get us anywhere.
How will we get inside?
SPACESHIP! [Benny chuckles and rushes off excitedly to build a spaceship]
Great idea, a Bat spaceship.
No, they're expecting us to show up in a Bat spaceship, or a pirate spaceship, or a rainbow sparkled spaceship.
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.
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.
Oh, we got a hugger. [Emmet hands the Piece of Resistance to Lord Business] Be careful, I have been told... it might explode.
Emmet, thank you.
And I just want you to know, from the bottom of my heart, from this moment forward, I solemnly promise that I will never--
EMMET!
Emmet, arr!
Hey, everyone! Is everyone, okay. Where's Lucy? [Unikitty laughs, as the micro-managers fall down] [Wyldstyle comes up from under a micro-manager]
Emmet!
Lucy! [Emmet rushes over to her and Wyldstyle jumps into his arms]
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!
Thanks, Batman!
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?!
De-kragler!
Watch this. YEAH! [as Finn's father pours glue remover onto Pa and Ma Cop Finn reunites Bad Cop with his parents]
Oh, Mommy, Daddy, you're okay!
Oh, son! [Bad Cop who's now using his drawn on Good Cop face hugs his parents]
Hi, Mom, hi, Dad.
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]
Uh, hey, guys? Time to come up for dinner! It’s Taco Tuesday, your favorite!
Okay, honey, well, be up in a sec.
Oh, yeah, we'll be up in a sec!
Well, I got to tell you something.
What?
Now that I'm letting you come down here and play, guess who else gets to come down here and play?
Who?
Your sister.
What?
We'll things sure have a way of working out smoothly. Am I right, guys? [suddenly an alien spaceship hovers above them] Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat...?
Well, we're from the planet Duplon, and we're here to destroy you.
... Oh, man. [End of The Lego Movie]
There must be something around here that proves his potential. If The Man Upstairs chose him to the Special, there must be a reason.
Who's The Man Upstairs?
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!
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...
Emmet, you had a vision.
I did?
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.
I could?
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?
Yes, I am. I think.
Then, we haven't a moment to lose. We must assemble the Master Builders.
Do you think zeppelins are a bad investment?
Has anyone seen this guy? [shows a picture of Emmet]
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!
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!
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.
I hate this place.
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!
The what?
Meanwhile, at the dog...
Bonjour.
Girl, what are you doing right now?
Oh, hey... Hey, what's up?
Yeah, yeah.
Do you wanna sit together at the meeting?
Uh, I have to, I have to go back to Krypton. [Superman quickly flies off]
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...
Hello!
...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.
Have the young man step forward.
As you wish, [says it incorrectly] Dubbledore.
I’m Gandalf.
It's pronounced Dumbledore.
Dubbledore?
No, Dumbledore.
I thought you said Dubbledore.
Vitruvius?!
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.

This is supposed to make us feel better?
Grrrg!
What th-? No, there was about to be a but-
You're a butt!
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]
Why are you leaving?!
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?
You're not even a bit special.
Well, you were right about him being a ding-dong. [the Master Builders continue to jeer and throw things at Emmet]
You're a huge disappointment!
Get him out of here, I don't wanna look at him!
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.
Y’all ready for this? Oh no! They were ready for that.
IT DIDN'T BREAK!
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!
I super hate you.
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]
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?
In a submarine!
Great idea, a Bat submarine patent pending.
With rainbows!
And dream catchers, just in case we took a nap.
Like an underwater spaceship!
But we can't build all of them at once!
READY? BREAK!
Batman is the worst person I've ever met.
Need a hyperdrive?
No way!
Babe!
I knew it! I knew that!
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?
Come on, Chewie, hit the hyperdrive!
Nah, they'll be fine.
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?
Sorry.
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.
Space ID.
I have a drive-on.
Who are you here to see?
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!
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.
10-4!
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]
I'm 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]
Okay.
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]
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]
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.
Cool! What kind of sound system does it have?
Uh, sound system? Well, I mean, we have an iPod shuffle.
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?
Embarrassing.
Well, I mean, we need to get that done. I want eight-foot speakers.
Great call.
Yeah, I want speakers that you can hug with your arms and your legs, and just feel the beat.
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.
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?
What excuse me?
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]
This is also my jam. [the robots starts singing and dancing]
Everything is awesome. Everything is cool when you're part of a team
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!
Quick, let's go. [after they get passed the robots and start climbing up a vent]
Everything Is Awesome
I don't.
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.
What?
I made it up. It's not true.
But that means I'm just... I'm not the Special?
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!
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?
Yes, sir?
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]
Who said that?
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...
WHAT?!
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]
Thirteen, Mississippi.
No!
Twelve Mississippi, Eleven Mississippi...
See you later, alligator.
Ten Mississippi...
Don't! [Emmet jumps out the broken window.]
Ahhh!
Nine Mississippi, eight Mississippi...
No, EMMET! [as the computer countdown continues, Emmet starts falling into the abyss]
Aaaaaaaahhh!
Seven Mississippi, six Mississippi...
Aaah!
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]
He... he saved us.
Well, what do we do now? There's gotta be a bright side here somewhere?
Does anyone have any ideas?
Emmet had 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]
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.]
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.]
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]
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.]
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?!
I was just playing and...
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?!?
It was an accident.
You end up accidentally, expertly, dangerously, and carefully took the entire top off of that tower?
Yes.
You know the rules; this isn't a toy!
Um...it kind of is.
No, actually it's a highly sophisticated interlocking brick system.
But we bought it at the toy store.
We did, but they way I'm using it makes it an adult thing.
The box for this one said "Ages 8 to 14"!
That's a suggestion. They have to put that on there.
Because maybe we won't be able to resist playing with all this.
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."
But, Dad, you don't understand…
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]
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]
Oh, no! [then we see a Lego fireman who's build a machine out of his fire truck to fight off the micro-managers]
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]
Meow. Meow.
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!
Stop!
Oh no! [Emmet watches in horror as Finn's father continues to glue the Lego pieces]
Arr, there be too many micro-managers!
What am I holding here?
It's a battleship.
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]
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.
Let's get this gunk off this construction worker. [he places Emmet on his work table]
He's not just a construction worker, Dad. He's the hero.
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]
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]
Uh, Dad?
Yeah?
I think I saw the Xacto over there in Middle Zealand.
Oh, great. Thank you.
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.]
