Dialogue [The television mini movie begins in a close-up of Megamind's face as the camera pulls back away from him] Megamind: [first lines] Citizens of Metrocity, long have I waited to give you your just desserts. Prepare to face the unbridled wrath of… my fantastic bargains! [raises his arms to the multiple screens showing a logo reading "Evil Lair Yard Sale", then laughs. The crowd cheers] Welcome! Welcome, citizens of Metrocity, to the Evil Lair Yard Sale! As you know, this is my first day as defender of Metrocity. And now that I'm no longer evil, I no longer need things that do evil. [gives a boy a teddy bear which sprouts metal spikes and its eyes glow blue. On its mouth, two smaller spikes resemble pointed teeth] Boy: A Terror Teddy. Awesome! Megamind: Excellent choice. Now, let the browsing commence! Minion, we're gonna need more petty cash. [Minion approaches with something hiding behind a chalkboard] Uh, what's behind there, Minion? Minion: Hmm, nothing. [A large spider-like robot with her nine red eyes knocks the chalkboard away] Megamind: Aha! I knew it! Minion: Please, please, please. Can we just keep the spider-bot? Megamind: Minion, heroes don't drive around in creepy spee-ider-bots. [The spider-bot sadly stalks away] Minion: See? Now you've hurt her feelings. Spider-bot, come here. [Megamind does a face-palm at his partner, Minion tries to call Spider-bot. A boy in a blue shirt plays with Megamind's dehydration gun as if pretending to shoot lasers] Damien's Mom: Damien, we don't play with laser guns. Damien: Come on, Mom! Damien's Mom: Put it back this instant! Megamind: Madame, he's merely expressing himself. [Damien blows a raspberry at his mother] Hahahaha! Besides, it's not a laser gun, it's a dehydration… [Blue light from the gun shoots onto Damien's mother, turning her into a small glowing cube] …gun. [Looking down at the cube, he picks it up] Uh, just soak her in some water, not the toilet. She'll be fine. [gives Damien the cube] Damien: That's so cool. Megamind: Yes. Uh, free donuts with every billion-dollar purchase! [After Megamind sells all of his evil stuff to the citizens of Metro City] Megamind: Fantastic. The place is already looking less evil. Minion: Sir. Now that we've got rid all of your "evil things", how are we gonna protect Metro City? Megamind: Way ahead of you, Minion! [steps out in a suit] Minion: What are you wearing? Megamind: My super-secret super-hero super-suit! I designed it myself! It copies all of Metro Man's powers: super-boots, super strength, and super x-ray slash laser vision! Minion: Umm... yeah, I'm not sure if it's really... you. Megamind: Au contraire, filet Minion! [When, Minion found the box of button.] Megamind: What's that? Minion: It's the only thing I couldn't sell. Other than the Death Ray. Just a box with a button on it. I don't even remember what it does. [Megamind grabs the mysterious button-box.] Megamind: Well, it must do something. Maybe it opens the jerrage door. [Megamind presses it and the box hovers. The button changes to a holographic device.] Megamind: Oh, whoops! Minion: Oh, dear! [A projection shows Mega-Megamind's head] Mega-Megamind: Greetings, hero! You've just unleashed an Unspeakable Evil upon Metrocity! AND YOU'RE REALLY, REALLY NOT GONNA LIKE IT! [Megamind and Minion are shocked in terror. The projection beast heads out of the Evil Lair to a bunker.] Megamind: Where did it go?! Minion: I don't know! [The projection beast heads to bunker.] Mega-Megamind: [presses a switch] Unspeakable Evil: activated! Minion: Remember the forget-me bomb? Megamind: Yes... No... Oh, what about the Encyclopedia Bombica? Minion: Oh, Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Kittens! Megamind: They were cute, but they were deadly. Minion: [gets into a beast position] The Destructosaur... [After the Mega-Megamind projection head activated a giant droid beast resembling the real Megamind.] Minion: Um... Megamind: Don't move. I think I remember what it is. It's my favorite! [He and Minion look over at the Beast.] It's the Mega-Megamind! Mega-Megamind: Ollo! Megamind: I transferred my evil personality into a giant monster robot. Man, I do good work. Minion: Really terrific stuff, but we should probably turn it off. [From its point of view, the Mega-Megamind looks down at Megamind and Minion] Mega-Megamind: White suit, white cape. If it isn't my old friend, Metro Man! [Words reading "Metro Man: Identified" and "Destroy" appear on Megamind, who looks confused. Question marks appear on his partner, Minion.] Minion: Hahaha! He thinks you're Metro Man. Megamind: Well, I am defender of Metrocity now. This is the perfect time for me to debut my super-suit. Minion: Sir, are in the invisible car? Megamind: [in the car] No. Mega-Megamind: Are you a chicken? Bok, bok, bok, bok, bok! Megamind: Get in! Minion: Oh! Megamind: Oh, we're in trouble, Minion! I programmed it never to stop until it eliminates a hero! It's out there, searching for me. Mega-Megamind: Where are you, hero?! Minion: Is it searching for me too? Mega-Megamind: And your mysterious, who's dressed as Minion for some reason?! [Minion ducks down] Megamind: But don't worry, we can live in here from now on. The Brainbots can bring us snacks! Minion: Sir, that is crazy. We're gonna have to face this thing eventually. Mega-Megamind: ANYONE, HOME?! COME OUT, SO I CAN SQUISH YOU! Megamind: HEY, BETAMAX! Megamind: Are you in the mood for a slice of hero pie? Mega-Megamind: ONLY IF IT COMES À LA EXPLODE! WHERE'D YOU GO?! Megamind: Do you feel the taunting power of my eyebrow? Mega-Megamind: HOW DARE YOU BROW ME! [growls] Megamind: [to the Mega-Megamind] Prepare to beat your maker: me. Mega-Megamind: [growls] SAY, BYE-BYE, METRO MAN! Megamind: Fire, Minion! [looks terrified] Minion, fire! Minion: Slight problem here, sir. Megamind: Slight problem?! How slight?! Minion: Uh, your super-suit smashed the death ray controls. Mega-Megamind: [About to squash Megamind] ...TALK ABOUT A CRUSHING DEFEAT! Megamind: The old evil me is so annoying! [Megamind pushes the button to fire at Mega-Megamind.] Mega-Megamind: OW!!!! Megamind: Hurry up, Minion! I CAN'T KEEP THIS UP!!! MINION?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! Minion: HA-HA! I'VE GOT IT. SIR! [The death ray has been prepared to fire power at Mega-Megamind.]] Megamind: OK, Minion, on my marco. Mega-Megamind: I HATE SPEE-IDERS! [grunts] Megamind: MARCO! [The Mega-Megamind launches Spider-bot with her master, Megamind] Minion: POLO! [activates the death ray] Mega-Megamind: OH, NO! [The Mega-Megamind is blown up. Megamind laughs victoriously and watches the explosion] Megamind: Goodbye, old man. [Back in the lair, Minion smiles proudly in shouting] Minion: We did it! We did it! Megamind: Yes, we did, Minion. Now, let's go get the rest of our evil stuff back. [Spider-bot trots back to the lair. Nighttime, in an apartment, several kids have a party with a banner reading "No More School!" with a drawing of Damien. Nearby, their parents, now dehydrated cubes, sit in a glass bowl on a small table] Boy #1: No more school! [digs his face into a cake] Boy #2: We're free! Girl #1: No parents! Girl #2: Food fight! Girl #3: Freedom! Boy #3: [writes on the wall with a blue crayon] Booger! Hahahaha! Damien: [looks at the cubes] With our parents dehydrated, we can rule Metro City! Yes! Kids: Yay! [Suddenly, the door busts open, scaring the kids] Megamind: [as he and Minion enter the apartment] Not today or any other day, my sugar-fueled friend. Damien: [looking nervous as Megamind and Minion cast their shadows over him] Oh my goodness. Minion: I'll take that. Thank you very much. [takes the dehydration gun] Megamind: I'd normally cart your heinies downtown… [picks up the glass bowl] but I have a feeling that your parents will offer you a far more severe punishment. A glass of water, Minion… [Minion gives him a glass of water] if you please. [The kids gasp in shock] Kids: [slow-motion] No! [As two girls and three boys run off, one boy covers his face while the cube falls toward the glass of water, just before Damien could catch it. Outside, Megamind and Minion exit the building] Minion: Well, sir, the weapons of justice are back where they belong. [He hands Megamind his dehydration gun] Megamind: Let's just hope the city is ready for me. Minion: I say it is, sir. Megamind: Look! [They see a light shining in the sky with Megamind's logo] They made me my own signal. Minion: "Us." They made us our own signal. [sobs] Megamind: Oh! Pull yourself together, Minion! [Minion stoped sobing] Now, make a note. It needs to be a lot bigger. Minion: Yes, sir. Megamind: Ready our shuttle! Let's go patrol, heroically! Megamind and Minion: YAY!! [laughing, they both get into the invisible car and drive off] Megamind: Oh, what fun!
