## Wreck-It Ralph

* [first lines] My name's Ralph, and I'm a bad guy. Uh, let's see, I'm 9' tall, I weigh 643 pounds, got a little bit of a temper on me. My passion bubbles very near the surface, I guess—not gonna lie. Anywho, what else? Uh, I'm a wrecker. I wreck things, professionally. I mean, I'm very good at what I do. Probably the best I know. Thing is, fixing is the name of the game. Literally. Fix-It Felix Jr. So yeah, naturally, the guy with the name Fix-It Felix is the good guy. He's nice enough as good guys go. Definitely fixes stuff really well. But, uh, if you got a magic hammer from your father, how hard can it be? If he was a regular contractor, carpenter guy, I guarantee you, he would not be able to fix the damage that I do as quickly. When Felix does a good job, he gets a medal. But, are there medals for wrecking stuff really well? To that, I say, "Ha!". And no, there aren't. 30 years, I've been doing this, and I have seen a lot of other games come and go. Kinda sad. Think about those guys at Asteroids? Boom, gone. Centipede? Who knows where that guy is, you know? Look, a steady arcade gig is nothing to sneeze at, I'm very lucky. It's just, I gotta say, it becomes kinda hard to love your job when no one seems to like you for doing it.
* I'm gonna wreck it!
* I'm bad, and that's good. I will never be good, and that's not bad. There's no 1 I'd rather be– than me.
* [last lines] The best part of my day, is when the Nicelanders throw me off the roof. Because when they lift me up, I get a perfect view of Sugar Rush, and I can watch Vanellope racing. The kid's a natural, and the players love her, glitches and all, just like I knew they would. That's when I realize: I don't need a medal to tell me I'm a good guy. Because if that kid likes me, how bad can I be?

## Vanellope von Schweetz

* (Well, Wreck-It Ralph.) You're not from here, are you?
* Help! Somebody, help, help!

## Fix-It Felix Jr.

* I can fix it!
* [repeated line] Oh, my land!
* Ralph's gone Turbo?
* Oh, why do I fix everything I touch?

## Sergeant Calhoun

* It's make-your-mamas-proud time!

## Stan Litwak

* Oh boy, looks like the game’s gone cuckoo! Like my nana. Sorry, sweetie.

## Dialogue

    Saitine: Well happy 30th anniversary, Ralph.
    Wreck-It Ralph: Thanks, Satan.
    Saitine: Uh, it's Saitine, actually.
    Wreck-It Ralph: Got it. But here's the thing. [pauses out] I don't wanna be the bad guy anymore.
    [the Bad-Anon members gasp; Bowser breathes fire balls; Clyde turns blue]
    Kano: You can't mess with the program, Ralph!
    M. Bison: You're not goin' Turbo, are you?
    Wreck-It Ralph: Turbo?! No, I'm not going Turbo! C'mon, guys! Is it "Turbo" to want a friend? Or a medal? Or a piece of pie every once in a while? Is it "Turbo" to want more out of life?
    Zombie: Yes.
    Clyde: Ralph, Ralph, we get it. But we can't change who we are. The sooner you accept that, the better off your game and your life will be.
    Zangief: Hey. One game at a time, Ralph.
    [As Ralph is heading to Fix-It Felix, Jr., he stops to see Q*bert and his friends looking sad. They hold a sign that reads, "Game-less. Just been unplugged"]
    Wreck-It Ralph: Here you go, buddy. [puts a cherry down] It's fresh. Straight from Pac-Man's. Hang in there, guys.
    [Alarm blares as Ralph heads inside.]
    Surge Protector: Name?
    [Ralph groans in frustration]
    [Ralph and Gene are arguing about Ralph being "just the bad guy"]
    Gene: Hang on. Felix needs to be on the roof because he's about to get his medal!
    Wreck-It Ralph: Well, then, how about we just take that medal and give it to Ralph for once? Would that be the end of the world, Gene?
    Gene: Now you're just being ridiculous! Only good guys win medals, and you, sir, are no good guy!
    Wreck-It Ralph: I could be a good guy if I wanted to and I could win a medal!
    Gene: Uh-huh. And when you do, come and talk to us!
    Wreck-It Ralph: And then would you finally let me be on top of the cake with you guys?!
    Gene: If you won a medal, we'd let you live up here in the penthouse! But it will never happen. Because you're just the bad guy who wrecks the building!
    Wreck-It Ralph: No, I'm not!
    Gene: Yes, you are!
    Wreck-It Ralph: No, I'M NOT!!!! [angrily smashes the cake and everyone gasps]
    Gene: Yes. You. Are.
    Wreck-It Ralph: Alright, Gene. You know what? I'm gonna win a medal. Oh, I am gonna win a medal! The shiniest medal this place has ever seen! A medal that will be so good that it will make Felix's medals wet their pants! And good night! Thank you for the party. [Ralph exits]
    Wreck-It Ralph: [looking into lost and found crate] Okay, let's see what we got here. [a cockroach lands on his hand] Shoo! Shoo! Go on, get out of here. [flicks it off, finds a Super Mushroom] Mushroom? No. [puts it back, finds a Metal Gear exclamation point] What is this? No. [tosses it, finds Zangief's underwear] Come on, Zangief. Gross. [tosses back in] What am I doing?
    [a heavily-armored space marine, Markowski bumps past Ralph]
    Wreck-It Ralph: Hey, excuse you!
    [Markowski staggers on and right into the wall again and again, in a walk cycle.]
    Markowski: [mumbling, shell-shocked] We are humanity's last hope. Our mission? Destroy all Cy-Bugs. We are humanity's last hope.
    Wreck-It Ralph: [stands and looks at him, curious] Uh... You okay there, space cadet?
    [Markowski whips around quickly and grabs Ralph by the collar.]
    Markowski: [traumatized] We've only been plugged in a week, and every day it's "Climb the building, then fight bugs. Climb the building, fight more bugs!"
    Wreck-It Ralph: Yeah, yeah. Right. Look. Easy on the overalls, spaceman. It's tough all over, all right?
    Markowski: And all for what, a lousy medal?
    Wreck-It Ralph: [ding] Medal? You win a medal?
    Markowski: Yeah, Medal of Heroes.
    Wreck-It Ralph: Ooh. Is it shiny?
    Markowski: Eh-Pretty shiny.
    Wreck-It Ralph: Ooh! And it says "hero" on it?
    Markowski: Uh-huh. Oh, yeah.
    Wreck-It Ralph: And you say you win it by climbing a building?
    Markowski: AND FIGHTING BUGS!
    Wreck-It Ralph: Right, bugs. Listen, is there any chance I could go with you to your game and, you know, maybe get one of those medals?
    Markowski: Negatory.
    Wreck-It Ralph: Does that mean "maybe"?
    Markowski: No! Look, only the bravest and the best serve in our corps. [sees a cockroach who climbs on Ralph's shoulder] BUG!!! [shrieks like a girl and runs himself into the wall, knocking himself out]
    [Ralph sees the helmet rolling to him in front, then flicks the cockroach off again.]
    [The Moppet Girl is trying to play Fix-It Felix Jr., but something is wrong with it.]
    Moppet Girl: Mr. Litwak!
    Litwak: What's the trouble, sweetheart?
    Moppet Girl: The game's busted.
    [Litwak takes a look at the game. He sees the Nicelanders running around and panicking on screen while Felix tries calming them down.]
    Litwak: Oh boy. Looks like the game's gone cuckoo, like my nana. Sorry, sweetie. Here's your quarter back.
    Moppet Girl: But what about the game?
    Litwak: I'll have someone look at it tomorrow, but if he can't fix it, it might be time to put old Ralph and Felix out to pasture. Like my nana.
    Gene: Ladies and gentlemen, we're out of order.
    Mary: Sweet mercy. Without Ralph we're doomed.
    [Ralph has just scared away the Sugar Rush racers who were tearing apart Vanellope's pedal kart; she gets up off the ground, sniffling]
    Vanellope von Schweetz: What are you looking at?
    Wreck-It Ralph: You're welcome, you rotten little thief.
    Vanellope von Schweetz: I'm not a thief. I just borrowed your stupid coin. I was gonna give it back to you as soon as I won the race!
    Wreck-It Ralph: (You're mistaking!?) It's not a coin! It's a medal!
    Vanellope von Schweetz: Coin, medal, whatever! Just go back to your own dumb game and win another one.
    Wreck-It Ralph: I can't. I didn't win it in my game. I won it in Hero's Duty.
    Vanellope von Schweetz: Hero's Doody? [bursts out laughing]
    Wreck-It Ralph: It's not that kind of duty!
    Vanellope von Schweetz: I bet you really gotta watch where you step in a game called Hero's Doody! Ha ha ha! What'd you win the medal for, wiping? [Ralph rolls his eyes] I hope you washed your hands after you handled that medal!
    Wreck-It Ralph: Listen—
    Vanellope von Schweetz: One more, one more: why did the hero flush the toilet? Say "Why?".
    Wreck-It Ralph: [unimpressed] Why?
    Vanellope von Schweetz: Because it was his "doody"!
    Wreck-It Ralph: How dare you insult Hero's Duty! You little guttersnipe! I earned that medal, and you better get it back for me toute-suite, sister! (Or I'm not going anywhere!)
    Vanellope von Schweetz: Well, unless you've got a go-kart hidden in the fat folds of your neck, I can't help you! (My kart was destroyed!) [At his breaking point, Ralph starts losing his anger by smashing apart the candy that litters the junkyard; he comes across a jawbreaker and pounds on it repeatedly; to herself] What a moron. [to Ralph] Hey, genius! That's a jawbreaker! You're never gonna— [Ralph finally manages to smash the jawbreaker open; Vanellope gives an impressed smile] Oh…
    [Ralph sits down, exhausted, and Vanellope approaches him]
    Vanellope von Schweetz: Enjoying your little tantrum, Diaper-Baby?
    Wreck-It Ralph: Leave me alone.
    Vanellope von Schweetz: Look, you want that medal, right? And I wanna race. So, here's what I'm thinkin': You help me get a new kart—a real kart—and I'll win the race and get you back your medal!
    Wreck-It Ralph: You want me to help you?
    Vanellope von Schweetz: All you gotta do is break somethin' for me. C'mon, what do you say, friend? [extends her hand]
    Wreck-It Ralph: We are not friends.
    Vanellope von Schweetz: Aw, c'mon, pal! You son-of-a-gun! C'mon, buddy! Shake on it! C'mon, chumbo! Ralph, my man! M' main man! [seriously] Hey. My arm's getting tired. Do we have a deal or not?
    Wreck-It Ralph: [groans; defeatedly] (Fine!) You better win. [shakes Vanellope's hand]
    King Candy: [puts on glasses] You wouldn't hit a guy with glasses, would you? [Ralph yanks the glasses off and breaks them over Candy's head] You hit a guy with glasses. That's... that's... well-played.
    Wreck-It Ralph: What do you want, Candy?
    Vanellope von Schweetz: I'm back! Did you miss me?
    Wreck-It Ralph: Yeah. Uh... Hey, can we talk for a second?
    Vanellope von Schweetz: Wait. First, kneel down.
    Wreck-It Ralph: What? No, we really...
    Vanellope von Schweetz: Will you just do it?
    Wreck-It Ralph: Okay.
    [He kneels down]
    Vanellope von Schweetz: Now, close your eyes.
    Wreck-It Ralph: Vanellope...
    Vanellope von Schweetz: Shush! (I can't talk with you right now!) Close them!
    [He shuts them. She ties something around his neck]
    Vanellope von Schweetz: Okay. Open them up.
    [He looks down and sees a small, handmade candy heart on a string, on which is hand-painted the words: "To Stink Brain."]
    Wreck-It Ralph: "To Stink Brain." Gee, thanks.
    Vanellope von Schweetz: Turn it over.
    [He does. On the back is painted the words: "You're my Hero."]
    Vanellope von Schweetz: I made it for you. Just in case we don't win. Not that I think there's even a remote chance we're not going to win.
    Wreck-It Ralph: Thanks, kid. Listen...
    Vanellope von Schweetz: Now rise, my royal chump. I've got a date with destiny. [Ralph doesn't move] Ralph, come on. Move your molasses. (Look, I know you were upset in all, but you'll get your gold medal back. Okay?)
    Wreck-It Ralph: Um... I've been thinking.
    Vanellope von Schweetz: That's dangerous.
    Wreck-It Ralph: Who cares about this stupid race anyway? Right?
    Vanellope von Schweetz: [laughs] That's not funny, Ralph.
    Wreck-It Ralph: No, I'm serious, and it was really fun to build the car and everything. But maybe you shouldn't do it.
    Vanellope von Schweetz: Hello? Is Ralph in there? I'd like to speak to him, please.
    Wreck-It Ralph: Look, what I'm saying is you can't be a racer.
    [That gets her attention]
    Vanellope von Schweetz: What? Why would you...
    [Her eyes go down to his chest and she sees something]
    Vanellope von Schweetz: Wait a minute.
    [She pulls the Medal of Heroes out of Ralph's pocket]
    Wreck-It Ralph: No!
    Vanellope von Schweetz: Where did you get this?
    Wreck-It Ralph: Look, I'm going to be straight with you, kid. I've been talking to King Candy.
    Vanellope von Schweetz: King Candy?!
    Wreck-It Ralph: Yeah. (Look, it's okay.)
    Vanellope von Schweetz: You sold me out?
    Wreck-It Ralph: No, I didn't... (It's okay!) Listen, you don't understand!
    Vanellope von Schweetz: No, I understand plenty. (You're working with my nemesis.) Traitor!
    [She throws the medal at him. It hits him in the face and falls to the ground. She jumps back in the kart]
    Wreck-It Ralph: I'm not a traitor. Listen.
    Vanellope von Schweetz: You're a rat! And I don't need you, (have your stupid medal back and leave,) and I can win the race on my own.
    Wreck-It Ralph: But I'm trying to save your (life and your) skin, kid! (So, get out of the kart!)
    [Ralph grabs and picks her up out of the kart. She glitches furiously]
    Vanellope von Schweetz: (Hey!) Put me down! Let me go!
    Wreck-It Ralph: No! You listen to me! [He sets her down. She immediately makes a dash for the kart. Ralph blocks her way. She struggles to get around him] Do you know what's going to happen (if you win the race, and) when the players see you glitching, they're gonna think the game's broken.
    Vanellope von Schweetz: I don't care! You're a liar!
    Wreck-It Ralph: No, (I'm not a liar, and) you better care, because if your game goes out of order...
    Vanellope von Schweetz: I'm not listening to you!
    Wreck-It Ralph: ...you go down with the ship, (and you're gonna die,) little sister!
    Vanellope von Schweetz: GET OUTTA MY WAY!! I'm going to that race!
    Wreck-It Ralph: No, you're not!
    [He grabs her hood]
    Vanellope von Schweetz: Augh! [grunts]
    [Ralph hangs Vanellope by her hood on the edge of a lollipop tree]
    Vanellope von Schweetz: Take me down from here, Ralph, right…
    Wreck-It Ralph: NO!
    Vanellope von Schweetz: …now!
    Wreck-It Ralph: I'M DOING THIS FOR YOUR OWN GOOD!
    [He goes over to the kart and clenches his fists. She struggles to get free, but can't]
    Vanellope von Schweetz: Wait, wait. No. No. No, no, no, no! Please, Ralph! [But he doesn't stop and slams his fists onto the kart] NOOOOO!! RALPH, STOP IT! STOP IT! NOO! [Ralph destroys the kart. She breaks down sobs. Then she glitches and lands on her knees on the ground. Ralph turns to her, heartbroken] (You're right.) You really are a bad guy. [She runs sobs into the mountain entrance. Ralph hangs his head. He sighs, then walks over and picks up his medal. He starts down the road alone]
    [Sour Bill is cleaning up the broken Candy Kart remains, humming; just then, Ralph enters Sugar Rush and walks up to him.]
    Wreck-It Ralph: [to Sour Bill] Hey, Cough Drop!
    Sour Bill: [stops humming and looks at Ralph] Huh?
    Wreck-It Ralph: Explain something to me. If Vanellope was never meant to exist, then why is her picture on the side of the game console?
    Sour Bill: Uh... [frantically tries to run away, but Ralph grabs him]
    Wreck-It Ralph: [threateningly] What's going on in this candy-coated heart of darkness?
    Sour Bill: Nothin'.
    Wreck-It Ralph: Talk!
    Sour Bill: No!
    Wreck-It Ralph: I'll lick you!
    Sour Bill: You wouldn't.
    Wreck-It Ralph: Oh, yeah?! [licks Sour Bill]
    Sour Bill: Ugh! It's like sandpaper!
    Wreck-It Ralph: Mmm, (You look like a small jawbreaker,) I wonder how many licks it'll take to get to your center.
    Sour Bill: I'll take it to my grave!
    Wreck-It Ralph: Fair enough. [tosses Sour Bill into his mouth] Oh, they call you "Sour Bill" for a reason! [Sour Bill lets out a muffled screamed; Ralph takes him out] Had enough yet?
    Sour Bill: Okay, okay, I'll talk, I'll talk! Vanellope was a racer until King Candy tried to delete her code!
    Wreck-It Ralph: "Tried to delete her code"?! So that's why she's a glitch! Why is he doing this to her?!
    Sour Bill: I don't know!
    Wreck-It Ralph: Suit yourself. [starts to put Sour Bill back in his mouth]
    Sour Bill: No, no, no, no, no, no! I swear I don't know! He literally locked up our memories and I cannot remember! Nobody can, but I do know this: he'll do anything to keep her from racing. Because if she crosses the finish line, the game will reset and she won't be a glitch anymore!
    Wreck-It Ralph: Where is she now?!
    Sour Bill: In the Fungeon with Fix-It Felix.
    Wreck-It Ralph: Felix?!
    Sour Bill: I'm sorry! That's all I know, that's all I know, I swear! Now please, don't put me back in your filthy mouth again! [starts to sobs]
    Wreck-It Ralph: [sticks Sour Bill to a lollipop tree, points Sour Bill] Stick around. [gathers up the remains of the broken Candy Kart and takes off]
    Sour Bill: Yes, okay. I will, I will. Thank you.
    [Felix is locks up in the Fungeon, looks out the window.]
    Fix-It Felix Jr.: Hello?! Hello?! Somebody, anybody. Please, let me out! [shakes the bar, loosening it] Oh. What's he say, what's he say? [pulls out his golden hammer, in Ralph's voice] "I'm gonna wreck it!" [pounds it on the bar, but it makes them thicker and stronger] Oh. Why do I fix everything I touch?! [sits down, sobs]
    Wreck-It Ralph: BAM!!! [bursts through the wall of Felix's jail cell] Felix!
    Fix-It Felix Jr.: Ralph! [jumps up; hugs Ralph] I'm so glad to see you! [let him go] Wait. No, I'm not! What do you have to say for yourself?
    Wreck-It Ralph: I—
    Fix-It Felix Jr.: Wait! I don't want to hear it. I'm NOT talking to you.
    Wreck-It Ralph: Okay. Don't talk. That's fine. [dumps out a can full of the broken Candy Kart] But you have to fix this go-kart for me, pronto.
    Fix-It Felix Jr.: I don't have to do boo! Forgive my potty mouth. I'm just so, so cross with you! Do you have any idea what you've put me through?! I ran higgledy-piggledy all over creation looking for you. I almost drowned in chocolate milk mix! And then, I met the most dynamite gal. Oh. She gives me the honey glows something awful. But she rebuffed my affections. And then, I got thrown in jail!
    Wreck-It Ralph: Felix, pull yourself together.
    Fix-It Felix Jr.: No, Ralph! You don't know what it's like to be rejected and treated like a criminal! [turns away]
    Wreck-It Ralph: Yes, I do. That's every day of my life.
    Fix-It Felix Jr.: It is?
    Wreck-It Ralph: Which is why I ran off (to win a medal) and tried to be a good guy, but I'm not! I'm just a bad guy, and I need your help. There's a little girl whose only hope is this kart. (And her name is Vanellope von Schweetz. You see, Candy is not a good king. He removed Vanellope's code and turned her into a glitch for an unknown reason.) Please, Felix, fix it! And I promise, I will never try to be good again. [Felix smiles; pulls out his golden hammer]
    [Vanellope's glitch causes King Candy to start glitching, which in turn reveals King Candy's true form: Turbo]
    Fix-It Felix Jr.: Is that...?
    Wreck-It Ralph: No way!
    Vanellope von Schweetz: What the—? (You're not King Candy!) Who are you?!
    Turbo: I'm Turbo, the greatest racer ever! And I did not reprogram this world to let you and that halitosis-riddled warthog take it away from me! Turbotasic! [evil laughing] End of the line, glitch!
    Vanellope von Schweetz: It's okay, Ralph. Just go. Go without me.
    Felix: What about this game.
    Calhoun: Nothing we can do about it without a beacon there's no way to stop these monsters.
    Ralph: Beacon. (Vanellope.) Stay with Felix.
    Sour Bill: Now I remember. All hail the rightful ruler of Sugar Rush... Princess Vanellope.
    [The racers gasp; Swizzle Malarkey kneels down]
    Taffyta Muttonfudge: I remember, she's our princess.
    Candlehead and Crumbelina DiCaramello: Oh, that's right!
    Taffyta Muttonfudge: We are so sorry about the way we treated you.
    Rancis Fluggerbutter: Yeah, those were, uh, jokes!
    Candlehead: [sobs] I was just doing what Taffyta told me to do!
    Vanellope von Schweetz: Tut tut. As your merciful princess, I hereby decree that everyone who was ever mean to me shall be... [other racers look on with anticipation] Executed.
    The Racers: WHAT?! [They all start to cry about their impending death]
    Taffyta Muttonfudge: No, no, no, please! Please!
    Fix-It Felix Jr.: Oh, my land!
    Calhoun: Well, this place just got interesting.
    [The racers (except Swizzle) drop down to their knees and are still crying]
    Candlehead: No! [drops down to her knees and sobs even louder]
    Taffyta Muttonfudge: [drops down to her knees sobbing, tearfully pleading for forgiveness] We don't wanna die!
    Vanellope von Schweetz: I'm just kidding!
    Taffyta Muttonfudge: You are?
    Vanellope von Schweetz: Stop crying, Taffyta.
    Taffyta Muttonfudge: [hyperventilates as her mascara starts streaming down her cheeks] I'm trying, but it won't stop. [sobs a bit; stops crying]
