## Robert "Bob" Parr / Mr. Incredible

* [repeated phrase] Showtime!
* Every superhero has a secret identity. I don't know a single one who doesn't. I mean, who wants the pressure of being super all the time?
* No matter how many times you save the world, it always manages to get back in jeopardy again. Sometimes I just want it to stay saved! You know?! For a little bit. I feel like the maid: "I just cleaned up this mess! Can we keep it clean for, for 10 minutes?! Please?!"
* Sometimes, I think I just like the simple life, you know, relax a little and raise a family.

## Helen Parr / Elastigirl

* Of course I have a secret identity. [about her super-suit] Can you see me in this at the supermarket? Come on! Who did wanna go shopping as Elastigirl? You know what I mean?
* Brace yourselves! Everybody calm down! Now, I will tell you what we are not going to do. We're not gonna panic, and we're not gonna... LOOK OUT!
* Settle down? Are you kidding? I'm at the top of my game! I'm right up there with the big dogs! Girls, come on. Leave the saving of the world to the men? I don't think so! I don't think so.
* Remember the bad guys on those shows you used to watch on Saturday mornings? Well, these guys are not like those guys. They won't exercise restraint because you're children. They will kill you if they get the chance. Do not give them that chance.

## Lucius Best/Frozone

* Super-ladies, they're always trying to tell you their secret identity. [whispers] Think it'll strengthen the relationship or something like that. I say, "Girl, I don't wanna know about your mild-mannered alter ego or anything like that." I mean, you tell me you're, uh, super-mega-ultra-lightning babe? That's all right with me. I'm good. I'm good.
* I don't see anyone from the old days, Bob. Just you. And we're pushing our luck as it is.
* It means it's hot! And I'm dehydrated, Bob!
* There is no water in this air! What's your excuse, run out of muscle?
* We look like bad guys! Incompetent bad guys!
* You tell me where my suit is, woman! We are talking about the greater good!

## Dash Parr

* [After a huge explosion destroys the Parrs' house] Does this mean we have to move again?

## Violet Parr

* I feel different. Is different okay?

## Syndrome (Buddy Pine / IncrediBoy)

* [After Elastigirl's plane is destroyed] Ah, you'll get over it. I seem to recall you prefer to work alone.
* I knew you couldn't do it, even when you have got nothing to lose. You're weak! And I've outgrown you.
* It tore me apart, but I've learned an important lesson. You can't count on anyone. Especially your heroes.
* [has just caught the entire Parr family] What have we here? Matching uniforms? [sees Helen] Oh, no. Elastigirl? You married Elastigirl?! [laughs, then looks at Violet and Dash] And got BUSY! It's a whole family of Supers! Looks like I've hit the jackpot! [laughs] This is just too good!
* I'll give them heroics. I'll show them the most spectacular heroics anyone's ever seen! And when I'm old and I've had my fun, I'll sell my inventions so that everyone can be superheroes. Everyone can be super! And when everyone's super... [walks away laughing before he talks in an unsympathetic tone] No one will be.
* [freezes the Parr family as they barge into the house while holding a sleeping Jack-Jack; quietly] Shh. The baby is sleeping. [snickers sinisterly] You took away my future. I'm simply returning the favor. Don't worry, I'll be a good mentor. Supportive, encouraging. Everything you weren't! And in time, who knows, he might make a good sidekick.
* [last words before his death] This isn't the end of it! I will get your son, eventually! I'll get your son! [laughs and gasps as he sees Mr. Incredible hurling his car into the air] Oh, no.

## Mirage

* [on message computer] The Supers aren't gone, Mr. Incredible. You're still here. You can still do great things. Or… you can listen to police scanners. Your choice. You have 24 hours to respond. Think about it. [fades out]
* [about Syndrome] He's attracted to power. So am I. It's a weakness we share.
* [having had enough of Syndrome's evil after he taunted Mr Incredible with his family's apparent demise] Next time you gamble, bet your own life.

## Edna Mode

* I never look back, darling. It distracts from the now!
* You will show him you remember that he is Mr. Incredible, and you will remind him who you are!
* Do you remember Thunderhead? Tall, storm powers? Nice man. Good with kids. November 15th of '58! All was well, another day saved, when... his cape snagged on a missile fin.
* Stratogale! April 23rd, '57! Cape caught in a jet turbine!
* Meta Man, express elevator! Dynaguy, snag on takeoff! Splashdown, sucked into a vortex! NO CAPES!

## Underminer

* Behold: The Underminer! I am always beneath you, but nothing is beneath me! I hereby declare war on peace and happiness! Soon, all will tremble before me!

## Others

* Mugger: Hey, look! The lady got me first.
* Oliver Sansweet: Ow! I think you broke something. (In a deleted scene, he says "My collarbone... I think you broke it...")
* Mrs. Hogenson: Denied? You're denying my claim?

## Dialogue

    [First lines; The movie begins with seated in front of a colored backing is a magnificent masked man in a superhero suit: early thirties, ruggedly handsome and powerfully built, he fiddles with a clip-on microphone. We're watching a faded documentary, shot in 16mm. A title fades in, identifying the man as Mr. Incredible]
    Mr. Incredible: Is this on?
    Interviewer: That's fine.
    Mr. Incredible: [muttering to himself] I can break through walls, I just can't...
    Interviewer: That's fine.
    Mr. Incredible: I can't get this on.
    [He finally gets the clip secured and settles in]
    Interviewer: So, Mr. Incredible... do you have a Secret Identity?
    Mr. Incredible: Every superhero has a Secret Identity. I don't know a single one who doesn't. Who wants the pressure of being super all the time?
    [Resume documentary: Another striking, masked superhero, a woman this time. A title identifies her as Elastigirl]
    Elastigirl: Of course I have a secret identity. Can you see me in this at the supermarket? Come on. Who'd want to go shopping as Elastigirl, you know what I mean?
    Frozone: Super Ladies, they're always trying to tell you their secret identity. Think it'll strengthen the relationship or something like that. I said, "Girl, I don't want to know about your mild-mannered alter ego." or anything like that. I mean, you tell me you're a super-mega-ultra-lightning-babe, that's all right with me. I'm good. I'm good.
    Mr. Incredible: No matter how many times you save the world, it always manages to get back in jeopardy again. Sometimes I just want it to stay saved, you know? For a little bit. I feel like the maid. "I just cleaned up this mess. Can we keep it clean for 10 minutes?"
    Interviewer: I could get to that point.
    Mr. Incredible: "Please?" [laughs, then sighs]
    Interviewer: Wait, no, don't get up. We're not finished.
    Mr. Incredible: Sometimes I think I'd just like the simple life, you know? Relax a little and raise a family.
    Elastigirl: Settle down? Are you kidding? I'm at the top of my game! I'm right up there with the big dogs! Girls, come on. Leave the saving of the world to the men? I don't think so. I don't think so. [fades to black]
    [A trail of stolen goods scattered across a rooftop at the Mugger. he mutters to himself as he roots through a stolen purse, disregarding some items, stuffed others into the pockets, A shadow figure of Mr. Incredible on the wall]
    Mr. Incredible: You know, [Looks at the Thief] you can tell a lot about a woman by the contents of her purse. maybe its not what you had it mind.
    Mugger: Hey, look-- [She punches him] Ow!
    [Mr. Incredible closes in on him, The Mugger drops the purse, pulls a gun. an arm suddenly stretches into frame and delivers a right cross to the snatcher's jaw. Mr. Incredible looks up at a dazzling Masked Woman in an equally dazzling suit. she smiles]
    [As he follows his ears we become aware of a sound, we hears a beeps with Mr. Incredible locates a spot on the wall and presses one ear against it, The beeps accelerate, Mr. Incredible starts to pushed away and explodes. The hallway is filled with smoke and debris. The Silhouette emerges from the newly blown hole in the wall. Bomb Voyage a Tall, Rangy Man in the Mime Costume like The Joker in Batman carried two Stuffed Duffel Bags. He surveys the scene with a wicked smile. A vault door is embedded into the wall directly opposite the hole. It moves aside, revealing Mr. Incredible behind him, dazed but unharmed. He sees the mime and growls]
    Mr. Incredible: [coughs] Bomb Voyage!
    Bomb Voyage: [first words] Monsieur Incroyable! ["Mr. Incredible!"]
    Buddy Pine: [Off-screen] And IncrediBoy!
    [Both Mr. Incredible and Voyage turn and stare in disbelief at a Evil Little Boy, who awkwardly flies over to them]
    Bomb Voyage: IncrediBoy?
    Buddy Pine: Hey, hey! Aren't you curious at how I get around so fast? See? I have these Rocket Boots, and they...
    Mr. Incredible: Go home, Buddy.
    Buddy Pine: What?
    Mr. Incredible: Now.
    Bomb Voyage: Petit idiot. [Little oaf.]
    Buddy Pine: Can we talk? You always said be true to yourself. but you never say which part of yourself to be true to. Well, I've finally figured out who I am, I am your ward... IncrediBoy!
    Mr. Incredible: And now you have officially carrying too far, Buddy.
    [It's an ugly flash in Buddy's eyes with Mr. Incredible]
    Buddy Pine: This is because I don't have powers, isn't it? Well not every Super Hero has powers, you know, You can be super without him, I invented these, I can fly. Can you fly?
    Mr. Incredible: Fly home, Buddy, I work alone.
    Bomb Voyage: [last words] Et ton costume est complètement ridicule! ["And your outfit is totally ridiculous!"]
    Buddy Pine: Gimme one chance, I'll show you and get the police.
    [As Buddy jogs to the Shattered Window, Mr. Incredible sees that Voyage has clipped a Small Bomb onto Buddy's Cape]
    Mr. Incredible: Buddy! NO!!
    Buddy Pine: It'll only take a second, really.
    Mr. Incredible: [takes off after him] No! Stop! There's a bomb!
    [He grabs Buddy's Cape just as IncrediBoy takes off, taking Mr. Incredible with him. Mr. Incredible and the Boy rocket wildly out of control, Spraying Sparks in every direction, Mr. Incredible grabbing at the Cape desperately for the Bomb]
    Buddy Pine: Let go. you're wrecked my Flight Pattern, I can do that if you let go!
    Mr. Incredible: Will you just, I am trying to help! Stop!
    Buddy Pine: Let go of my Cape!
    [Mr. Incredible finally grabs hold of the bomb and flings it free. Both he and the bomb fall onto the elevated train tracks below. The bomb explodes, blowing away a large section of track. Mr. Incredible groggily looks up: The train's coming. And heading straight for the section of track that is no longer there. Mr. Incredible sets his jaw and starts running toward the oncoming train, leaping the chasm to intercept the train before it gets there. He pulls up and plants himself, The expression on his face says it all: this is going to hurt, The train hits... Mr. Incredible taking the full impact. Rail ties break behind Incredible's feet, spraying in all directions as Mr. Incredible--miraculously--wrestles the train to a stop. Police and Paramedics have arrived and cordoned off the accident scene and treating the injured. Mr. Incredible arrests Buddy and hands him to the police]
    Mr. Incredible: Take this one home, and make sure his Mom knows what he’s been doing.
    Buddy Pine: I could help you, you’re making a mistake-HEY!!
    Mr. Incredible: The injured jumper; did you send paramedics?
    Police Officer #1: They've already picked him up.
    Mr. Incredible: The blast in that building was caused by Bomb-Voyage who I caught in the act robbing the vault. Now we might be able to nab him if we setup a perimeter.
    Police Officer #2: You mean he got away?
    Mr. Incredible: Well yeah, Skippy here made sure of that.
    Buddy Pine: IncrediBoy!
    Mr. Incredible: [to Buddy] You're not affiliated with me!!
    [A tiny alarm sounds. Mr. Incredible checks his wristwatch]
    Mr. Incredible: Holy smokes, I'm late. Listen, I've gotta be somewhere.
    [He signals the Incredi-Bile with a remote. It roars into view, squeals to a stop next to him]
    Police Officer #1: What about Bomb-Voyage?
    Mr. Incredible: Any other night, I'd go after him myself, but I really gotta go. But don't worry. We'll get him! Eventually!
    [He fires the afterburners and the Police Officers watch in dismay as the Incredi-Bile roars off. Bob's car pulls up in front of a church, converting back into a sedan. Bob Parr enters, dressed smartly in a tux, fumbling with his tie]
    Bob Parr: Hey, is the night still young?
    Lucius Best: You're very late.
    Bob Parr: How do I look? Good?
    [His best man Lucius stops him before he enters]
    Lucius Best: Oh, the mask! You still got the mask.
    [Lucius reaches up and pulls off his Mr. Incredible's mask. Bob takes a deep breath and pushes open the chapel doors]
    Bob Parr: Showtime!
    [Bob stands at the altar with Elastigirl, who we see is the bride]
    Minister: Robert Parr, will you have this woman to be your lawful wedded wife?
    Helen Parr: You're late. When you asked me if I was doing anything later, I didn't realize you'd actually forgotten. I thought it was playful banter.
    Bob Parr: It was playful banter.
    Helen Parr: Cutting it kinda close, don't ya think?
    Bob Parr: You need to be more... flexible.
    Helen Parr: I love you, but if we're gonna make this work, you've gotta be more than Mr. Incredible. You know that. Don't you?
    Minister: ...so long as you both shall live?
    Bob Parr: I do.
    Minister: I pronounce this couple husband and wife.
    [They kiss, with an audience of superheroes and people cheering]
    Helen Parr: As long as we both shall live. No matter what happens.
    Bob Parr: Hey, come on. We're superheroes. What could happen?
    [The screen switches to a newsflash]
    Newsreel Narrator: In a stunning turn of events, a superhero is being sued for saving someone who, apparently, didn't want to be saved. The plaintiff, Oliver Sansweet, who was foiled in his attempted suicide by Mr. Incredible, has filed suit against the famed superhero in Superior Court.
    [Oliver Sansweet's lawyer stands next to him on the crowded front steps, and speaks to a cluster of reporters]
    Oliver Sansweet's Lawyer: Mr. Sansweet didn't ask to be saved, Mr. Sansweet didn't want to be saved, and the injuries received from Mr. Incredible's "actions" so-called cause him daily pain.
    [The crowd stirs as Mr. Incredible appears and points a threatening finger at Oliver Sansweet]
    Mr. Incredible: Hey, I saved your life!
    Oliver Sansweet: You didn't save my life, you ruined my death, that's what you did!
    Mr. Incredible: Listen, you little piece of...
    Mr. Incredible's Lawyer: [cuts him off] My client has no further comment at this time.
    [Shots of the train accident scene]
    Newsreel Narrator: Five days later, another suit was filed by victims of the el train accident.
    [Shots of a courtroom filled with neck-braced train-wreck victims. A lawyer goes through his paces, often gesturing toward a glowering Mr. Incredible]
    Newsreel Narrator: Incredible's court losses cost the government millions. And opened the flood gates for dozens of superhero lawsuits the world over.
    [A series of spinning newspaper headlines describing the succession of lawsuits brought against Superheroes: "DynaGuy sued!", "'SUPER' DAMAGES!", "X-RAY VISION PEEPING TOM?" Irate Taxpayers demonstrate, waving placards that read: "NO MORE SUPER BAILOUTS!", "$UPER EXPEN$IVE!", etc. A senator addresses his colleagues from the floor of the House of Representatives]
    Senator: It is time for their secret identity to become their only identity. Time for them to join us, or go away.
    Newsreel Narrator: Under tremendous public pressure, and the crushing financial burden of an ever mounting series of lawsuits, the government quietly initiated the superhero relocation program.
    [Superheroes exiting the public stage, as they wave goodbye (ala Nixon), duck into cars in a shower of popping flashbulbs, cheered by supporters, jeered by opponents, etc]
    Newsreel Narrator: The supers will be granted amnesty from responsibility for past actions, in exchange for the promise to never again resume hero work. Where are they now?
    [A throng of people mill about the city streets in diverse anonymity]
    Newsreel Narrator: They are living among us. Average citizens, average heroes. Quietly and anonymously continuing to make the world a better place.
    [The music crescendoes as camera lifts up to the horizon and the sun streaming through the clouds]
    [15 years later Mr. Incredible works for an insurance company under his real name, Bob Parr. Mrs. Hogenson sits across from him. Bob stamps a form with a “denied” stamp]
    Mrs. Hogenson: Denied? You’re denying my claim? I don't understand. I have full coverage.
    Bob Parr: I'm sorry, Mrs. Hogenson. But our liability is spelled out in paragraph sixteen. It states clearly...
    Mrs. Hogenson: I can't pay for this.
    Bob Parr: [phone rings] Excuse me. [answering the phone] Claims, Bob Parr.
    [In the kitchen, Helen chats amiably as she bathes her baby Jack-Jack in the sink. Her hairstyle has changed, her hips have widened a little, but Motherhood and little else has changed from her Elastigirl days. A stack of empty moving boxes are stacked haphazardly near the door]
    Helen: I'm calling to celebrate a momentous occasion. We're now officially moved in.
    Bob Parr: Yeah, well, that's great, honey. And the last three years don't count because...
    Helen: Because I finally unpacked the last box. Now, it's official. Ha, ha, ha. Why do we have so much junk?
    Bob Parr: Listen, honey, I've got a client.
    Helen: Say no more. Go save the world one policy at a time, honey. Oh! I gotta go pick up the kids from school. See you tonight.
    Bob Parr: Bye, honey. [hangs up, turns to Mrs. Hogenson] Excuse me. Where were we?
    Mrs. Hogenson: [beginning to weep] I'm on a fixed income, and if you can't help me, I don't know what I'll do.
    [Bob stares at her, empathizing completely. He stands up and leans out of his cubicle, looks down the hallway in both directions]
    Bob Parr: [speaking softly] Alright, listen closely. I'd “like” to help you, but I “can't”. [handing her a pad and pencil] I'd “like“ to tell you to take a copy of your policy to Norma Wilcox on... [pointing to pad and paper] Norma Wilcox, W-I-L-C-O-X, on the third floor, but I “can't”. I also “do not” advise you to fill out and file a WS2475 form with our legal department on the 2nd floor. I would “not” expect someone to get back to you quickly to resolve the matter. I'd like to help, but there's nothing I can do.
    Mrs. Hogenson: Oh thank you young man.
    Bob Parr: Shh, shh, shh. [shouting loudly] I'm sorry ma'am! I know you're upset! [Whispering] Pretend to be upset.
    [Mrs. Hogensen leaves Bob's cubicle, sobbing and Mr. Huph angrily marches in.]
    Gilbert Huph: PaaaaaaaaAAAARRRRRRRRRRR!!!!! YOU AUTHORIZED PAYMENT ON THE WALKER POLICY?!?
    Bob Parr: Someone broke into their house, Mr. Huph. Their policy clearly covers them against...
    Gilbert Huph: I don't wanna know about their coverage, Bob! Don't tell me about their coverage! Tell me how you're keeping Insuricare in the black! Tell me how that's possible with you writing checks to every Harry Hardluck and Sally Sobstory THAT GIVES YOU A PHONE CALL!! [storms out of Bob's cubicle]
    Voice on PA: Morning break is over. Morning break is over.
    [Bob’s pencil cup drops on the floor]
    [Helen goes to the Principal's Office with Dash's teacher--Bernie Kropp]
    Principal: I appreciate you come down here, Mrs. Parr.
    [Mrs. Parr looks at Dash]
    Helen Parr: What is that about? Has Dash done something wrong?
    Bernie Kropp: [first words] He's a disruptive influence and he openly mocks me in front of the class.
    Dash Parr: [mutters to himself] He says.
    Bernie Kropp: [snaps at Dash] Look, I know it's you! [looks at Helen] He puts thumbtacks on my stool.
    Helen Parr: You saw him do this?
    Bernie Kropp: Well, not real… No, actually not.
    Helen Parr: Oh. Then, how do you know it was him?
    Bernie Kropp: I hid a camera. [holds up a videotape. Dash gasps and looks at Helen, glaring at him] Yeah, and this time I've got him!
    [The footage shows the Teacher heads to his seat and when he's about to sit down, for a couple of frames, Dash is seen running to the seat and back to his desk]
    Bernie Kropp: SEE?! You see?
    [Helen and the principal squint in an attempt to try to see it]
    Bernie Kropp: Oh, you don't see it? [hangs his head up frustrated, and rewinds the tape] He moves! RIGHT THERE! [pauses] Wait, wait! Right... THERE! Right as I'm sitting down! I don't know, I don't know how he does it, but there's no tack on my stool before he moves, and after he moves there's a tack! Coincidence? I think NOT!!
    Principal: Uh, Bernie? [pats his shoulder]
    Bernie Kropp: Don't Bernie me. [angrily points to Dash] THIS LITTLE RAT IS GUILTY!!!
    Principal: You and your son can go now, Mrs. Parr. I'm sorry for the trouble.
    Bernie Kropp: [last words; turns red in anger] You're letting him go again?! He's guilty! You can see it on his smug little face!! GUILTY, I SAY, GUILTY!!! GUILTY, GUILTY!!!! NO!!!!!
    Helen Parr: Don't think you avoided talking about your trip to the principal's office, young man. Your father and I are still going to discuss it.
    Dash Parr: I'm not the only kid who's been sent to the office, you know.
    Helen Parr: Other kids don't have superpowers. Now, it's perfectly normal for to you to—
    Violet Parr: Normal? What do you know about "normal"? What does anyone in this family know about "normal"?!
    Helen Parr: Now, wait a minute, young lady!
    Violet Parr: We act normal, Mom! I wanna be normal! The only one normal is Jack-Jack, and he's not even toilet-trained!
    Jack-Jack Parr: [giggles]
    Dash Parr: Lucky. [Helen gives him an angry look] I meant about being normal.
    [Bob and Lucius are inside a building completely engulfed in flames rescuing people from the burning building.]
    Lucius Best: Is that everybody?!
    Bob Parr: Yeah, that's everyone!
    [They duck down to avoid the crumbling ceiling.]
    Lucius Best: It better be.
    [Lucius attempts to generate ice to put out the fire, but to no avail, as he's not only dehydrated, but there's also no moisture in the air.]
    Bob Parr: Can't you put this out?
    Lucius Best: I can't lay down a layer thick enough! It's evaporating too fast!
    Bob Parr: Well, what's that mean?
    Lucius Best: It means it's hot! And I'm dehydrated, Bob!
    Bob Parr: You're out of ice?! You can't run out of ice! I thought you could use the water in the air!
    Lucius Best: There is no water in this air! What's your excuse, run out of muscle?
    Bob Parr: I can't just go smashing through walls! The building's getting weaker by the second! It's gonna come down on top of us!
    Lucius Best: I wanted to go bowling!
    [More parts of the building come crumbling down. Bob eventually sees an open path ahead.]
    Bob Parr: All right! Stay right on my tail! It's gonna get hot!
    [He and Lucius charge through the fire and smash through a wall on the side of the building, crashing through a wall into another building next to the burning building, causing the latter building to collapse, eventually putting out the fire. Bob and Lucius take notice from behind and then see the people they rescued moving and regaining consciousness, much to their relief.]
    Bob Parr: [fist bumps with Lucius] Yeah. [He gets up coughing, then realizes that he and Lucius are inside a jewelry store.] Uh-oh. [He unknowingly trips the alarm on accidentally. sarcastically] Oh, good.
    [Suddenly, an alarm sounds and the lights turn on, startling the two superheroes.]
    Lucius Best: [groans as he gets up] Oh, no. That ain't right.
    [A police officer gets out of his car and sees Bob and Lucius inside the store. Inside, Bob and Lucius get into another argument.]
    Lucius Best: We look like bad guys! Incompetent bad guys!
    Bob Parr: You can get water out of the air!
    [The police officer breaks in and points his gun at the two Supers.]
    Cop: FREEZE!
    [as the cop bursts into the jewelry store where Bob and Lucius are, Lucius notices a water cooler]
    Cop: FREEZE!
    Lucius Best: I'm thirsty.
    [Lucius reaches for a cup of water, which he starts filling]
    Cop: I SAID "FREEZE"!
    Lucius Best: I'm just getting a drink. [takes the cup to his mouth and drinks]
    Cop: All right. You had your drink... Now, I want you to-
    Lucius Best: [calmly, as he drops the cup] I know, I know. [directly] Freeze. [freezes the cop]
    Police Radio: Shots fired!
    [More officers rush inside the store.]
    Cops: POLICE OFFICERS!
    [Bob returns home after his night out with Lucius. Helen is waiting to confront him in the living room.]
    Helen: I thought you’d be back by 11:00.
    Bob: I said I’d be back later.
    Helen: I assumed you’d be back later. If you came back at all, you’d be back “later”.
    Bob: Well I’m back. Ok?
    Helen: [noticing a small piece of debris on Bob’s shirt] Is this rubble?
    Bob: It was just a little workout. Just to stay loose.
    Helen: You know how I feel about that Bob. Darn you! We can’t blow cover again!
    Bob: The building was coming down anyway.
    Helen: What? You knocked down a building!?
    Bob: It was on fire, structurally unsound, it was coming down anyway.
    Helen: Tell me you haven’t been listening to the police scanner again.
    Bob: Look, I preformed a public service. You act like that’s a bad thing.
    Helen: It is a bad thing, Bob. Uprooting our family again so you can relive the glory days is a very bad thing!
    Bob: Reliving the glory days is better than acting like they didn’t happen!
    Helen: Yes, they happened. But this, our family is what’s happening now, Bob, and you’re missing this! I can’t believe you don’t want to go to your own son’s graduation.
    Bob: It’s not a graduation. He’s moving from the fourth grade to the fifth grade.
    Helen: It’s a ceremony.
    Bob: It’s psychotic! They keep creating new ways to celebrate mediocrity but if someone is genuinely exceptional then-
    Helen: This is not about you Bob, this is about Dash.
    Bob: You want to do something for Dash? Then let him actually compete! Let him go out for sports!
    Helen: I will not be made the enemy here! You know why we can’t do that.
    Bob: BECAUSE HE’D BE GREAT!!
    Helen: [angrily stretches her neck over Bob's head] This is not. ABOUT. YOU!
    [a soft ‘woosh’ is heard in the background]
    Bob: All right, Dash, I know you’re listening. Come on out.
    Helen: Vi? You too, young lady.
    Bob: Come on. Come on out. It’s okay, kids. We’re just having a discussion.
    Violet: Pretty loud discussion.
    Bob: Yeah. But that's okay, because what's important is that Mommy and I are always a team. We're always united, against, uh, uh, the forces of, uh--
    Helen: Pig-headed-ness?
    Bob: Uh, I was gonna say, "Evil" or something like that..
    Helen: We're sorry we woke you. Everything's okay. Go back to bed. It's late. [looks at Bob] In fact, we should all be in bed.
    Woman [on phone]: Request claim on claim numbers 158183....
    [Bob presses his intercom button]
    Gilbert Huph: HAVEN'T YOU GOT HIM YET, WHERE IS HE!? PLEASE!! RIGHT NOW!!
    Huph's Secretary: [over the intercom] Mr. Huph would like to talk to you in his office.
    Bob Parr: Now?
    Huph's Secretary: Now...
    [Huph angrily continues to yell indistinctly over the phone. Bob eventually gets up from his cubicle and heads to Huph's Office. Mirage slowly walks over, looks around and leaves something on his desk]
    Gilbert Huph: [sharpens his pencil and aligns it with other three] Sit down, Bob.
    [Bob sits and moves the 4th pencil]
    Gilbert Huph: [re-aligns it and starts] I'm not happy, Bob. NOT... HAPPY. Ask me why.
    Bob Parr: Okay. Why?
    Gilbert Huph: Why what? Be specific, Bob.
    Bob Parr: Why are you unhappy?
    Gilbert Huph: Your customers make me unhappy.
    Bob Parr: What, you've gotten complaints?
    Gilbert Huph: Complaints I can handle. What I can't handle is your customers' inexplicable knowledge of Insuricare's inner workings!! They're experts! EXPERTS, Bob! Exploiting every loophole, dodging every obstacle! They're PENETRATING the bureaucracy!
    Bob Parr: Did I do something illegal?
    Gilbert Huph: [begrudgingly] No...
    Bob Parr: Are you saying we shouldn't help our customers?
    Gilbert Huph: The law requires that I answer no.
    Bob Parr: We're supposed to help people!
    Gilbert Huph: We're supposed to help OOOUUR PEOPLE!! Starting with our stockholders, Bob! Who's helping them out, huh?! [sighs and regains composure] You know, Bob.... [moves a letter that says: Memo: Policy Notification To: Employee From: Gilbert Huph Due to financial cut-backs, you will be expected to self-expense all office supplies, including but not limited to pencils, erasers, pens, paper, stationery, folders, staples, paper clips, brads, and photocopies. All parking will now be metered by the hour. Electricity consumption and all telephone charges will be deducted from your paycheck. The Board of Directors at Insuricare wishes to thank you for your selfless sacrifice through this time of financial uncertainty. It is because of you, the employee, that Insuricare has recorded its highest profit in years. Remember, a successful company makes for successful employees. Every penny you save is another penny that goes in... [the rest is covered by Huph's finger] Salutations, Gilbert Huph] ...a company...
    Bob Parr: Is like an enormous clock.
    Gilbert Huph: ...is like an enormous clo— Yes, precisely! It only works... if all the little cogs... mesh together! Now, a clock needs to be clean, well-lubricated and wound tight. The best clocks have jewel movements, cogs that fit, that cooperate by design. [chuckling] I'm being metaphorical, Bob...You know what I mean by cooperative cogs? Bob? Bob... [furiously grabs Bob by the chin and angrily pulls him toward him] LOOK AT ME WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU, PARR!!
    [Outside the window, Bob sees the man is be mugged]
    Bob Parr: That man out there, he needs help!
    Gilbert Huph: Do NOT change the subject, Bob! We're discussing YOUR! ATTITUDE!
    Bob Parr: He's getting mugged!
    Gilbert Huph: Well, let's hope we don't cover him!
    Bob Parr: [gets up out of his seat and heads for the door] I'll be right back. [puts his hand on the doorknob]
    Gilbert Huph: [angrily threatens Bob] STOP RIGHT NOW, OR YOU'RE FIRED!!!!!!
    Bob Parr: [stops, crushes The Doorknob and angrily turns his angry]
    Gilbert Huph: [grins evilly] Close the door... Get over here now. I'm not happy, Bob, not happy.
    Bob Parr: He got away...
    Gilbert Huph: [last words] Good thing, too, huh, you were this close to losing your j–LAAAGH!
    Bob Parr: [furiously grabs Huph by the throat and angrily strangles him. Then he accidentally throws him through Five Office Walls that nearly kill him; Mr. Huph crashes into the filing cabinet, badly injured; Everyone stares at Bob in shock] Uh-oh.
    [Through the window at the door we can glimpse Mr. Huph in a Full Body cast]
    Voice on PA: Please report to operating room 722 immediately.
    [Bob, seated on a Bench outside, looks up as Rick Dicker, a Haggard Faced Man in the Black Suit and Tie quietly exits Huph's room. He stops, looks at Bob, then turns away, heading to the elevator. Bob follows after him]
    Bob Parr: How is he?
    Rick Dicker: He'll live.
    Bob Parr: I'm fired, aren't I?
    Rick Dicker: Oh, you think?
    Bob: What can I say, Rick?
    Dicker: Nothing you haven't said before.
    Bob: Someone was in trouble.
    Dicker: Someone's always in trouble.
    Bob: I had to do something.
    Dicker: Yeah. Every time you say those words, it means a month and a half of trouble for me, Bob. [reaches and presses the elevator button] It means hundreds of thousands of taxpayer's dollars.
    Bob: I know.
    Dicker: We gotta pay to keep the company quiet. We gotta pay damages, erase memories, relocate your family. Every time it gets harder. Money, money, money, money, money. W-we can't keep doin' this, Bob. [he enters the elevator] We appreciate what you did in the old days, but those days are over. From now on, you're on your own.
    [Bob stares at the floor, beaten, as the elevator doors close, but Rick stops them from doing so, in pity]
    Dicker: Uh, listen, Bob. Maybe I could relocate you. You know, for old times' sake.
    Bob: No. I can't do that to my family. Everyone just got settled. I'll make it work. Thanks.
    [Rick stares at Bob a long moment. A bittersweet smile--]
    Dicker: Take care of yourself.
    [The elevator doors finally close. Bob stares at them, numb]
    [Edna shows Helen the other suits she has created for the Parrs]
    Edna: I started with the baby.
    Helen: Started?
    Edna: Shh! Darling! Shh! I cut it a little roomy for the free movement. The fabric is comfortable for sensitive skin [flamethrowers throw fire at the suit without leaving burn marks], and it can also withstand a temperature of over 1,000 degrees! Completely bulletproof. [machine guns train on the suit and empty rounds into it without causing any damage] And machine-washable, darling. That's a new feature.
    Helen: What on earth do you think the baby will be doing?!
    Edna: Well, I'm sure I don't know, darling. Luck favors the prepared. I didn't know the baby's powers, so I covered the basics.
    Helen: Jack-Jack doesn't have any powers.
    Edna: No? He'll look fabulous anyway. [moves on to Dash's suit] Your boy's suit I designed to withstand enormous friction without heating up or wearing out. A useful feature. [moves on to Violet's] Your daughter's suit was tricky, but I finally created a sturdy material that will disappear completely as she does. [it briefly disappears and then reappears] [moves on to Helen's new suit] Your suit can stretch as far as you can, without injuring yourself [the suit gets stretched], and still retain its shape. Virtually indestructible. [two missiles fire at the suit, but the suit sustains no damage] Yet it breathes like Egyptian cotton. As an extra feature, each suit contains a homing device, giving you the precise global location of the wearer at the touch of a button. [hands Helen one, showing the tracking location of one of the suits] Well, darling? What do you think?
    Helen: What do I think?! Bob is retired! I'm retired! Our family is underground!! You helped my husband resume secret hero-work behind my back?!
    Edna: Well, I assumed you knew, darling! Why would he keep secrets from you?
    Helen: He wouldn't. Didn't-- D-Doesn't.
    Edna: [sighs] Men at Robert's age are often unstable. Prone to weakness.
    [In Edna's kitchen, Helen is sobbing as she takes grief from possibly losing Bob.]
    Helen: Oh, I am such an idiot. I let this happen, you know. The new sports car, the getting in shape, the blond hair, the lies...
    Edna: [coldly] Yes, he attempts to relive the past.
    Helen: Now I'm losing him! [crying] What'll I do?
    Edna: What are you talking about?
    Helen: [Stops sobbing; looks at Edna] Hmm?
    Edna: You are Elastigirl! My God, pull yourself together! [whacks Helen with a rolled up newspaper] What will you do? Is this a question? You will show him you remember that he is Mr. Incredible, and you will remind him who you are! Well, you know where he is. Go, confront the problem, fight, WIN! [pause] And call me when you get back, darling, I enjoy your visits.
    Helen: There's plenty of leftovers you can reheat, make sure Dash does his homework, and both of you get to bed on time. I should be back tonight, late. You can be in charge that long, can't you?
    Violet: Yeah, but why am I in charge again?
    Helen: Nothing. Just a little trouble with Daddy.
    Violet: You mean Dad's in trouble, or Dad is the trouble?
    Helen: I mean he's either in trouble, [darkly] or he's going to be. [leaves]
    [Helen emerges from the lavatory dressed in her super suit. She throws her duffel bag roughly at a passenger seat]
    Violet: Ow!
    Elastigirl: Violet!
    Violet: [as she materializes] It's not my fault! Dash ran away, and I knew I'd get blamed for it...
    [Dash pops up from behind the seats at the back of the cabin, immediately engaging at the top of his lungs]
    Dash: That's not true!
    Elastigirl: Dash?! (In a deleted scene, she saids Is though the city in here, with the power for missile.)
    Violet & Dash: ...and I thought he'd try to sneak on the plane so I came here and you closed the doors before I could find him and then you took off and it's not my fault! You said, "Something's up with Mom. We have to find out what!" It was your idea! Your idea! Hundred percent all-yours, all-the-time idea!
    Elastigirl: (In a deleted scene, Violet silly grin at us) Wait a minute, wait a minute. You left Jack-Jack alone?!
    Violet & Dash: Yes, mom, I'm completely stupid... of course we got a sitter! Do you think I'm totally irresponsible? Thanks a lot! No, we got someone, Mom. Someone great. We wouldn't do that.
    Elastigirl: All right! Well, who'd you get?
    Helen: [via headset] Friendlies! At 2,0 miles south-south west of your position. Angels 10, track east. Disengage, over. [To Violet] Vi! You have to put a force field around the plane.
    Violet: But you said we weren't supposed to use our powers!
    Helen: I know what I said! Listen to what I'm saying now! [via headset] Disengage, repeat, disengage!
    Dash: [fearfully] Mom?
    Helen: VIOLET! [Violet gets startled; via headset] Mayday, mayday! India Golf Niner-Niner is buddy-spiked! Abort, abort! There are children aboard, [heard through intercom] say again, there are children aboard the plane.
    Bob: NO!
    Helen: Put a field around us NOW!!!
    Violet: But, Mom, I've never done one that big before!
    Helen: Violet, do it now! [via headset] Abort, abort, abort! [Violet weakly tries to create a force field in a short period of time] Abort, abort, abort! [She tries again unsuccessfully, then Helen rushes to protect her children from the explosion]
    [Mirage enters the room where Bob is still being held in the suspension chamber. She pushes a button, causing Bob to fall to the floor.]
    Mirage: [Walks up to Bob] There isn't much time.
    Bob: [Grabs Mirage by the throat and lifts her up] No, there isn't. In fact, there's no time at all.
    Mirage: [Tries to free herself from Bob's hold] Please...
    Bob: [Glares at Mirage with unforgiving anger] Why are you here? How can you possibly bring me lower?! What more can you take away from me?!
    Mirage: Family... survived the crash. They're here on the island!
    Bob: [Surprised] They're alive?
    [Bob drops Mirage to the floor, where she coughs. He picks her up and hugs her. Mirage looks relieved, but then notices Helen standing at the doorway.]
    Bob: Helen?
    Mirage: Hello. You must be Mrs. Incre—! [Get punched in the face by Helen and faints]
    Bob: [Grabs Helen's outstretched arm] She was helping me to escape!
    Helen: No, that's what I was doing! [Bob starts pulling her in closer] Let go of me! Let go, you lousy, lying, unfaithful creep—!
    Bob: [Kisses Helen] How could I betray the perfect woman?
    Helen: Oh, you're referring to me now?
    Bob: [Notices for a pause] Where are the kids?
    Mirage: They might have have triggered the alert.
    Helen: What?!
    Mirage: Security's been sent into the jungle. [Bob helps her up] You better get going.
    Helen: Now our kids are in danger?!
    [Bob and Helen run out of the room.]
    Bob: If you suspected danger, why'd you bring them?
    Helen: I didn't bring them, they stowed away! And I don't think you're striking the proper tone here!
    [Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl are running through the jungle, trying to get to their kids]
    Mr. Incredible: I should've told you I was fired, I admit it. But I didn't want you to worry!
    Elastigirl: You didn't want me to worry?! And now, we're running for our lives through some godforsaken jungle?
    Mr. Incredible: You keep trying to pick a fight, but I'm still just happy you're alive!
    [Lucius notices the rampaging Omnidroid pass by his high-rise apartment window. He opens his secret compartment to find his super suit missing]
    Lucius: Honey?!
    Lucius's Wife: [offscreen] What?
    Lucius: Where is my super suit?!
    Lucius's Wife: What?! [Lucius is getting impatient]
    Lucius: WHERE... IS MY... SUPER SUIT?!! [a flaming helicopter crashes suddenly by his window]
    Lucius's Wife: I, uh... put it away!
    Lucius: WHERE?!! [he runs to search his apartment]
    Lucius's Wife: Why do you need to know?!
    Lucius: I NEED IT!
    Lucius's Wife: Uh-uh! Don't you think about runnin' off and doin' no derrin'-do! We've been plannin' this dinner for two months!
    Lucius: The public is in danger!
    Lucius's Wife: My EVENING'S in danger!!
    Lucius: [thunders angrily] You tell me where my suit is, woman!! We are talking about the greater good!!
    Lucius's Wife: "Greater good"?! I am your WIFE! I am the greatest GOOD you are EVER gonna get!
    [the Parr family return back to Metroville using a spare rocket and an VR-like vehicle from the island]
    Dash: Are we there yet?
    Bob: [snaps impatiently] We get there when we get there! [opens the window; to Helen, who is suspended from the Omnidroid's lander, clutching its sides and holding the van in place] How you doing, honey?!
    Helen: DO I HAVE TO ANSWER?!
    [Last lines, the family crosses the parking lot, Dash sitting atop Bob's shoulders, clutching his second-place trophy. Everyone is happy and together]
    Helen Parr: Dash, I'm so proud of you.
    Dash Parr: I didn't know what the heck you wanted me to do.
    [The ground begins to quake. The Incredibles stop as the low rumble grow louder. On the far side of the lot, cars begin to be thrown into the air, tossed about like toys. A gargantuan drill spirals out of the ground, throwing dirt and chunks of asphalt in all directions. People run screaming as the enormous metallic vehicle crests and crashes to earth. A door opens on top and a hulking figure in dirty overalls emerges atop a rising platform. His ragged voice amplified through a loudspeaker, the Underminer speaks]
    Underminer: Behold the Underminer! I am always beneath you, but nothing is beneath me! I hereby declare war on peace and happiness! Soon all will tremble before me!
    [Camera pans off Bob as he glances at his family. They've already donned their masks, ready as they'll ever be. Camera returns to Bob, revealing that he too has put on his mask. He turns toward their new nemesis and smiles, rips his shirt open to reveal the "i" insignia on the chest of his super suit underneath, the logo of The Incredibles, and then the credits roll]
