## 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 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 evil to impress me!
* We're coming for you, Mr. Gru!
* Oh, I didn't mean to scare you. Now, where's Gru?
* 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]

## 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.

    Wild Knuckles: Good one. Call.
    Marlena: [after the Vicious 6 leave the house] You better be paying for my roof.
    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.
