That's my Fooglie! The one I drew. It's Dad.

Page 1 of 2"A good spy uses his head", got that? It's the first one in the book!
What do you see?
You.
I'm right behind him! Where are you?!
I'm toast.
Don't drop me!
I'm not gonna drop you! [drops Juni]
Machete
Who are you?
Carmen Elizabeth Juanita Echo Sky Brava Cortez.
Ms. Gradenko
Have a seat, Mr Lithp. You'll be more comfortable.
Mr. Lisp
It's Lisp. [sits down] My army, Ms. Gradenko, is the only comfort I need.
Minion
[puts mutated right hand on Lisp] [high-pitched]
They're on their way now, sir.
Mr. Lisp
[sees Minion's head] [shocked]
Minion? What happened to your head?
Minion
[high-pitched]
Oh, don't worry. I think it's reversible. [he smiles through all four heads]
Ms. Tatiana Gradenko
Hi! I'm Ms. Gradenko, we work for your parents.
"We"?
Ms. Tatiana Gradenko
Oh, I can understand if you don't trust me. You were a baby when we first met. [Opens door and enters] Remember me now? [Carmen and Juni shake their heads.] Sorry. I have a key, you see? We're all on the same side. We're here to protect you.
Carmen My mom has a bracelet like that.
Ms. Tatiana Gradenko
OSS, standard issue. We all have one.
OSS? You work with my parents?
Ms. Tatiana Gradenko
Yes. [Her men start walking round the safehouse and begin examining objects] Now, please listen closely. Open your ears. Your father was able to send one last communique this morning before he disappeared. It consisted of 5 letters: F-L-O-O...P.
Ms. Tatiana Gradenko
Oh, trust me, he's not that fabulous. In fact... [displays the photos of the Fooglies] recognize these?
Floop's Fooglies. I got toy versions.
Ms. Tatiana Gradenko
This is what they look like before he mutated them. [Gradenko shows that the Fooglies are actually mutated secret agents. Juni **** an eyebrow.]
You mean these mutants are captured secret agents?
Ms. Tatiana Gradenko
We're dealing with a genius.
Ms. Tatiana Gradenko
And you know that cute little tuneless song the characters sing? Play it backwards.
Fooglies
We're trapped! Floop is a madman! Help us! Save us! Floop is a madman! Help us! Save us!
Ms. Tatiana Gradenko
A cry for help.
Ms. Tatiana Gradenko
Definitely. Unless he gets something your father helped develop. If there's anything you can possibly remember--
Ms. Tatiana Gradenko
What?
Um, Felix gave us a message to deliver to the OSS and, um, here you are.
Ms. Tatiana Gradenko
Here I am. What's the message?
The Third Brain lives.
Ms. Tatiana Gradenko
Carmen, you have just joined the ranks of women spies in the OSS. Brilliant.
Ms. Tatiana Gradenko
Now, where does the Third Brain live exactly? Did Felix tell you that?
I don't think he said.
Ms. Tatiana Gradenko
He didn't say? Are you sure? Search the place. It wasn't at the house, so it must be here.
You were at our house? [Gradenko laughs]
Ms. Tatiana Gradenko
[sees the Third Brain]
Oh, my God. It exists.
That's what Floop wants?
Ms. Tatiana Gradenko
Oh! It's so beautiful!
Carmen! She's working for Floop! [Carmen runs to Juni]
Ms. Tatiana Gradenko
[to henchman]
Fly this to Floop's castle immediately.
Henchman
Yes, ma'am.
Don't move! [holds up gadget]
Ms Tatiana Gradenko
[the henchmen and Ms. Gradenko laugh]
You don't even know what those things are!
I know they're heavy. [throwing stance]
Devlin
[last lines]
Ah, Cortezes. An emergency assignment has come up in the Far East. I need you on it right away.
Ingrid
Oh, sorry, Devlin. We haven't talked about this as a family yet, so--
Gregorio
Whether we come out of retirement or not is a decision that is up to us. And our kids.
Devlin
Uh, Gregorio, Ingrid, I wasn't talking to you.
Gregorio
Ey?
Devlin
No, this assignment is for Carmen and Juni. They're the ones we need. They're the two most amazing field agents that this organization's ever seen. So what do you say, kids? You up for it?
Devlin, if you want the Cortezes, you take all the Cortezes. Even Mom and Dad.
From now on, whatever we do, we do together. Spy work? That's easy. Keeping a family together, that's difficult. And that's the mission worth fighting for. [turns off TV, and the credits roll.]
Mr. Lisp
[Minion is speaking to Lisp on the TV]
I trust this time Floop will have a success to show us.
Minion The Fabulous Floop is away on other business, sir. Your army is complete. The Ultimate Destructive Force is now within your grasp.
Lisp
I'll believe that when I see it. [cuts off his webcam]
Minion
[Minion sits back. Ms Gradenko places her hand on his shoulder.]
Welcome back, Ms. Gradenko. [Minion takes Gradenko's hand and kisses it.]
Ms. Gradenko
[Revealed to be half-bald from the Buddy Pack jetpack flames burning her hair off]
It's good to be back, Alex. Let's never have children.
[sings]
You can all be free; free; you can all be free, if you dream, if you dream… my dream!
Ah! But I didn't want any of that.
Ah! Of course!
