## Gru

* [to his son, Gru Jr.] I know you love your dada. Go on, say it. "Dada. Da-da." [Lucy: "Of course he loves you. He just doesn't show it on his face... or with his body language."]
* The most important part of a heist is being aware of potential dangers.
* Please, Junior. Daddy needs to steal a honey badger.
* I'll hit him with this. Once he's knocked out, we'll open the cage. That fuzzy demon will sleep like a baby.
* [screams] I tranqed myself!
* Like a nice meat loaf, I am pretty delicious!"
* It's okay, Junior. Dada loves you.

## Gru Jr.

* [smiles and hugs his father for breaking him free from Maxime Le Mal's control] Dada.

## Lucy

* [to Gru, about Jr.] Of course he loves you. He just does not show it on his face... or with his body language.
