A villain will rise. taglines Gru When you guys tracked me down after responding to my ad, my first thought was "Where did all these little tater-tots come from, and where did they find so much denim?" Distinguished villains, my name is Gru, I feel like i'm talking too loud, even though our proximity doesn't require this kind of volume. I'm pretty despicable; you don't want to cross me. Otto, you take the stone back to the lair, and I'll distract them. This kid just stole something from the worst villains in the world. Is this--? Are you pulling on my legs right now? Otto, where's the stone? Did you just... trade my future... FOR A PET ROCK!? [Otto nervously says "Yes" in Spanish] OK. Otto, where was this birthday party? Alright, alright, I’m not mini, please stop calling me that. My Minions will save me. Minions, assemble. My mom was right, you don't belong here, you're fired! I'm going to find that stone and when i get home, you all better be gone. My mom will probably pay you to keep me. And Otto, close your yapper! Otto, it's Mini-Boss. Otto, I'm so proud of you that you found the stone. Obviously, you guys are rehired. [last lines] "Big Boss"! I like that. Belle Bottom Ooh, baby, the Anti-Villain League can't catch this. Guess who stole the map? You seriously think this puny, little child can be a villain? Come back when you've done something to impress me! Who's next?! We're coming for you, Mr. Gru! Oh, I didn't mean to scare you. Don't worry; We're not mad at him, we're just... hiring him. Long time no see, punk! [takes the Zodiac Stone out of Gru's hands] I'll take that! Whoa, whoa, whoa, everybody! [holds up the Zodiac Stone] Did you forget what time it is? [the clock strikes midnight] HAPPY NEW YEAR! [transforms into a huge purple Chinese dragon] Enjoy being torn apart! Why don't we make this a fair fight? [laughs evilly] [roaring] DESTROY THE KID!!! Master Chow You like picking on little guys, huh? I am a master of Kung Fu. Wild Knuckles The map to the legendary Zodiac Stone. We'll become the most powerful villains in the world! Jean Clawed I thought... he was a tiny man. Nunchuck Hallelujah! (Laughs) Dialogue Gru: My mom was right; You don't belong here. You're fired! [The Minions gasp in shock as one of them faints] Gru: I'm going to find that stone, and when I get home, you all better be gone. Otto: Mini-Boss. [speaking Minionese as if saying, "I'm sorry. How about we all go with you?"] Gru: And Otto, close your yapper! Otto: Oh. Wild Knuckles: Somebody bring me a phone, call home, it's ransom time. Gru: No, no, no! My mom will probably pay you to keep me! Wild Knuckles: Good one. Call. Marlena: [after the Vicious 6 leave the house] You better be paying for my roof. Minions: Ay-ay-ay... Gru: One day, I hope to fake my own death to escape the authorities. Wild Knuckles: Shoot for the moon, kid, Shoot for the moon. Chinese Dragon Belle: [picking up Gru as he tries to escape] No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, NO! Where do you think you're going? Hmm? You stole from us, and now you're gonna pay. [ties him up to the clock tower] Enjoy being torn apart. Kevin: Hey! [Minionese] Gru: Guys! Gru: GET AWAY FROM HIM!!! Chinese Dragon Belle: DESTROY THE KID!!! Taglines Brace yourself.
