Gru's Girls (film)/Transcript

== Transcript ==
(The Universal logo plays)
Edith (V.O.): Ugh... of course they HAD to add this. Okay, quick question: Why does this darn screen always show up in every one of Universal's movies?!
Margo (V.O.): It's an opening logo, Edith. Movie studios and television production companies do this to brand what they produce, so that way people know what studio's behind the movie or TV show.
Edith (V.O.): So that's why they do it. Huh. Interesting.
(Cut to the Illumination logo. Margo, Edith, and Agnes are shown from the right)
Agnes: Uh, Illum-in-at-ion?
Margo: (correcting Agnes) Illumination.
Edith: Hey, I get it! I see the letters "Min" and "ion". Minion!
(Bob the minion shows up)
Bob: (excitedly) Illumination! (chuckles)
Margo: He said it!
(The opening credits then play, with the song "Fireflies" by Owl City playing in the background. We cut to a tour of a city, ending with a school with a bunch of kids getting on a bus. The bus leaves and the camera follows with a view of the town)
Margo (narrating): Who doesn't love this town? The streets, the places to go, the parks to hang out at... I gotta admit, it's wonderful.
(The bus stops at Gru's house. We see Margo and getting off the bus and walking up to the house)
Margo (narrating): Oh yeah, that's me over there. I'm Margo. I lived here all my life, even before Gru adopted us. Oh, the one with the pink beanie? That's Edith, my younger sister.
(Margo knocks on the door)
Margo: We're home!
Gru: Margo! Edith! What's got you two home so soon?
Edith: Today was the last day of school and we were able to go home early.
Gru: Okay. Where's Agnes?
(Another bus comes in, with Agnes getting off the bus)
Margo (narrating): Oh yeah, that's my youngest sister Agnes.
Agnes: Hey Gru! We had this huge end of school party today. It was fun!
Gru Jr: (laughing)
Margo: Hey little brother!
Gru Jr: (giggling)
Margo (narrating): Now, I tend to be the responsible one, even when Gru and Lucy are not around. I especially try to keep my two sisters and my baby brother out of trouble.
(cut to Gru Jr sleeping)
Margo (narrating): so, thus is our little brother, he was named after Gru. and he was so darn adorable! (laughs)
(cut to Edith practicing her ninja skills)
Margo (narrating): Now, Edith is indeed a tomboy, but I'd have to admit... she can also be a little destructive. But hey, get this: she apparently wants to be a ninja. Not to mention she knows a bit of Japanese.
(Edith cheers knowing she did good with practice that time. Cut to Agnes, who's playing with her stuffed unicorn)
Agnes (singing): Unicorns I love them, unicorns I love them...
Margo (narrating): Agnes is very naive, sweet, and innocent, which is why I'm the one who mainly steps in and looks out for her. Not to mention she has a HUGE obsession with unicorns. And she really seems to like this one show on TV. It's this weird cartoon called "Sparkle the Unicorn".
(The theme song plays from the TV and Agnes notices)
Agnes: It's time for Sparkle the Unicorn to come on!
Sparkle the Unicorn (on TV): Hi, Sunny!
Sunny the Dog (on TV): Hi, Sparkle!
Sparkle the Unicorn (on TV): And hello to you too, everybody! Are you ready to have some fun?
(We hear some kids responding "Yeah!" to Sparkle on the TV)
Sparkle the Unicorn (on TV): Come on! Let's explore and make some new friends!
Margo: Hey, Agnes! Watching another adventure with Sparkle the Unicorn, I'd take it?
Agnes: Yeah! This is one of the best shows on TV!
(An ad pops up for a Sparkle the Unicorn meet and greet)
Sparkle the Unicorn (on TV): Guess what, everybody? This coming Sunday, you'll be able to meet me in person at the mall, right in New York City! I hope to see you there!
Agnes: I don't wanna miss the chance to see Sparkle the Unicorn in real life!
Edith: Agnes, that's in New York. We don't live there.
Margo: Edith's right. Besides, it'll take us a long time to get there and back.
(Stuart the minion overhears their conversation)
Stuart (speaking Minionese): Looks like I have an idea.
(Cut to Stuart on a laptop, ordering train tickets to New York)
Dave (speaking Minionese): Stuart, what are you doing?
Stuart (speaking Minionese): Agnes wants to see Sparkle the Unicorn in New York, so I'm ordering train tickets for the girls to go there.
Dave (speaking Minionese): Are you sure this is a good idea? Does Gru know anything about this?
Stuart (speaking Minionese): It'll be fine, Dave! Besides, they'll be back soon!
(Stuart clicks on the order button, with a code to scan delivered to his phone)
Stuart (speaking Minionese): Done!
(Meanwhile, Agnes has just gotten finished watching Sparkle the Unicorn on TV. Stuart goes up to the girls to tell them the news)
Stuart: Agnes! Edith! Margo!
Margo: Hey, Stuart! What's up?
Stuart (speaking Minionese): I sorta overheard your conversation and I decided to get you three train tickets!
Margo: You got us train tickets to New York?
Stuart (speaking Minionese): Yeah! So Agnes could see Sparkle the Unicorn!
Edith: Hmm... I don't know if this is a good idea...
Agnes: It'll be so worth it, Edith! Come on! Let's go see Sparkle the Unicorn!
Stuart (speaking Minionese): Well what are we waiting for? Let's go!
Agnes: Wait! can we bring our little brother too?
Stuart: Uh..Okay!
Agnes: Yes
(After packing up, Stuart, Gru Jr and the girls hop into a tiny car, on the way to the train station. After they leave, Gru and Lucy get home. Cut to the girls and Stuart in the car with the song "Jump" by Kris Kross playing)
Agnes: Woohoo! Stuart, this is one of the best things you ever done!
GPS voice: Turn left.
(The car turns left)
Agnes: When are we gonna get there?
Margo: We're not that far from the train station!
GPS voice: Turn left, then turn right.
(The car then turns left. After a few seconds, it turns right. The car drives by for a while, then we see the train station nearby)
Agnes: I see the train station!
GPS voice: Your destination is on the right.
(The car stops by the station. Stuart, Gru Jr and the girls exit the vehicle and go up to the ticket booth)
Cashier: Tickets?
(Stuart gives the cashier the code)
Cashier: Proceed.
(The girls, Gru Jr and Stuart go up to a bench waiting on the next train)
Edith: I can't believe it! We're going to New York!
Agnes: And we're gonna meet Sparkle the Unicorn!
Margo: Now remember, we all have to stick together.
(The next train comes. The girls and Gru Jr then get on the train)
Margo: You coming?
Stuart (speaking Minionese): I'd love to, but I gotta go help Gru out with stuff.
Agnes: Well... see you soon, Stuart!
Edith: We'll miss you!
(The doors close. Stuart waves goodbye to the girls and Gru Jr as the train departs. Meanwhile, after hearing word from Kevin about the girls and the baby, Gru and Dru search everywhere for them)
Gru: (worriedly) Margo? Edith?
Dru: (worriedly) Agnes? Jr?
Gru: (worriedly) I don't believe it...
(Gru and Dru look at each other, shocked)
Gru and Dru: The girls and the baby are gone!
Lucy: Hey you two. What's going on?
Gru: The girls and the baby boy are missing, Lucy. Stuart was supposed to be watching them and-
Lucy: (now worried) What?!
Gru: When Stuart gets back, I'll have to have a very serious talk with him!
(Meanwhile on the train, at the dining area, the girls and Gru Jr are enjoying dinner with the other passengers)
Agnes: I can't believe that all 4 of us have our own room together!
Edith: At least it's better than being separated.
Margo: Like I said earlier, we all have to stick together. Right?
Edith: Yeah!
Agnes: You've got that right, Margo!
Margo: After all, we're a family. And as I always say, family means having each other's backs through thick and thin, no matter what.
Edith: Gotta admit, Margo is right.
(One of the teain's waiters comes by)
Waiter: You girls need anything?
Margo: We're good.
Agnes: I'm done with my meal! Here you go!
(Agnes passes her plate to the waiter, Edith and Margo follow and so does Gru Jr)
Waiter: Thank you.
Margo: No problem.
(Later that night, the girls and Gru Jr are going to bed)
Agnes: Margo, will you read us a bedtime story?
Margo: Sure thing. Let's see...
(Margo notices she forgot to bring the books)
Margo: (dissapointed) Oh no... Sorry, Agnes... I forgot to bring our books with us.
Edith: Well, what can get us to sleep?
Agnes: I know! You can sing to us! Your singing always helps me feel better when I'm feeling down, Margo.
Margo: Well what do you guys want me to sing?
Agnes: Maybe a lullaby?
Margo (singing): The room is filled with silence, except the sound of our train
Outside of our window is a little bit of rain.
Later stars will fill the sky, they'll shine and sparkle bright,
As long as we're together, all through this lovely night.
This lovely night, this lovely night,
Three stars shine so bright
(We cut to the train heading north)
Margo (singing, V.O.): This lovely, lovely night...
(We cut back to the residential area with Gru and the Minions)
Gru: Stuart, I would like to know if you've been watching the girls and the baby! They're missing!
Stuart (in Minionese): You see, Agnes wanted to go see her favorite TV character in New York, so I got them train tickets and took them to the railroad station. I talked them into going.
Gru: (shocked) You talked them into it?!
Stuart (in Minionese): Yeah. I did.
Gru: You were supposed to be watching them! Not taking them to New York just to attend some silly cartoon meet and greet as seen on TV!
Lucy: What's going on?
Gru: Stuart put the girls and the baby on a train to New York, just because Agnes saw an ad on TV about a meet and greet.
Lucy: Why would he?
Gru: I don't know... but I hope they're okay.
(We cut back to the train the next morning)
Agnes: Are we there yet?
Margo: We still have ways to go before we arrive in New York City. According to my phone's GPS, we'll most definitely be heading to our destination by tomorrow morning!
(Agnes, Gru Jr and Edith cheer)
Agnes: So that means tomorrow I'll be able to meet Sparkle the Unicorn!
Edith: Margo, do you know which mall the whole thing's gonna be at?
Margo: Pretty sure it was one near Times Square.
Agnes: Cool!
Margo: Let me call Gru and tell him we're alright.
(Margo begins to dial Gru's number, but discovers that she lost phone service)
Margo: We lost service. How will I be able to get in touch with Gru and Lucy?
Edith: I don't know. Guessing you don't have Wifi calling on your phone?
Margo: No, sadly. But we can call them once we get somewhere where we have phone service, right?
Agnes: Yeah!
Edith: So... what do you wanna do in the meantime?
Agnes: I don't know. What do you wanna do, Edith?
Edith: Maybe sing a traveling song?
(Edith begins singing the song)
Edith (singing): We're on a train, and we're singing a song,
Won't you come and sing along?
Agnes (singing): We're on our way to New York City,
And we're gonna see our friend Sparkle the Unicorn!
Edith: That doesn't even rhyme, Agnes.
Agnes: Oh.
Edith and Agnes (singing): Singin' tra la la...
Tra la la...
Tra la la la la...
Margo: I don't think I'd mind if they sing together. Just as long as they are not fighting...
(Margo smiles at the two and continues reading her book as they continue singing while Gru Jr was having fun)
Edith and Agnes (singing): ...Tra la la la la!
(Back at the residential area, Lucy's trying to call Margo's phone, but it seems to immediately go straight to her voicemail)
Margo: (recorded message) Hi, this is Margo. Sorry that I missed your call, but you can feel free to leave your name and number at the sound of the tone. Oh, and if this is Antonio, or Niko, or Poppy, could you please stop calling this number? I'm sorry, but it's not happening.
(a beep is heard and Lucy leaves a message)
Lucy: Hi, Margo. It's Lucy. I don't know if you will receive this message, but... could you please give me or Gru a call? We're worried sick about you and your sisters... and your brother...
(Lucy hangs up)
Lucy: It didn't even ring. All it did was go straight to her voicemail.
Gru: Does she have us blocked?
Lucy: She probably doesn't. I'd say they're at an area where they don't have any phone service. Maybe we should wait a bit.
Gru: *sigh* I wonder where they're at right now...
(Back at the train, Margo is reading her book, Edith is playing a video game on her tablet, Gru Jr was drinking milk, and Agnes is drawing a picture of a unicorn)
Edith (excited): Yes! I just got my high score!
Margo: What score did you get, Edith?
Edith: 10,000 points! I don't think I'd ever get this far!
(The intercom comes on suddenly)
Voiceover: Attention all passengers, by 8pm tonight we will be stopping in Baltimore and you will be switching trains. Thank you.
Agnes: Are we there yet?
Margo: Agnes, we'll be just switching trains in Baltimore, Maryland.
Edith: But hey, we're getting close to New York!
Margo: Uh-huh. In the meantime, shall we play some board games? I took some with us.
Agnes: Yeah!
Edith: (agreeing with Agnes) Totally!
(We see a montage of the girls and Gru Jr doing stuff together set to Willie Nelson's "On The Road Again". After the montage, the train stops at Baltimore and the girls and Gru Jr get off with everything they need packed)
Edith: Margo, you got everything?
Margo: Of course I did, Edith.
Agnes: Even my unicorn?
Margo: Yeah. I got that too.
Agnes: Alright. So where's our room?
Train Conductor: Welcome aboard! You girls are at room 134.
Edith: Sweet!
(The train takes off. Just before the girls and Gru Jr get settled in, another little girl around Agnes' age speaks to them)
Stella: Settling in?
Margo: Yep.
Stella: My name's Stella. What's yours?
Margo: I'm Margo...
Edith: I'm Edith...
(Gru Jr waves hello to Stella, and Stella waves hello to Gru Jr)
Agnes: ...and I'm Agnes. What brings you aboard?
Stella: Me and my family are going to see that Sparkle the Unicorn meet and greet in New York.
Agnes: You're gonna see Sparkle too?
Stella: Yeah! Isn't that show the best?
Agnes: It sure is! I really like the one episode where she sings that song about friendship.
Stella: That one's a great episode!
Margo: Agnes, shall we get to setting up?
Agnes: Sure! I gotta go. Hope you have fun at the Sparkle meet and greet!
Stella: You too! Bye, Agnes!
Agnes: See you!
(The girls and Gru Jr enter their room and settle in)
Edith: Looks like tomorrow's gonna be it.
Agnes: And I can't wait!
Margo: I'm sure Sparkle will be happy to see you, Agnes. Now, let's get to bed, shall we? We have a big day ahead of all of us.
(The next day, the train arrives at New York City as "New York, New York" by Frank Sinatra plays. Margo, Edith, Gru Jr, and Agnes get off the train and look around as they head to Times Square. They soon arrive at the mall where the meet and greet is held at)
Agnes: We're at the mall!
(The girls approach a local employee)
Margo: Hey, do you know which floor the Sparkle the Unicorn meet and greet is?
Employee: You'll find it at floor number 4.
(The girls and Gru Jr travel there, but Edith gets distracted as she finds an animatronic bear)
Edith: It says "Press here"... okay.
(When she pushes the button, the bear sings and dances to a random children's song)
Edith: Oh come on, I was expecting something exciting!
Margo: Edith, let's go.
Edith: Coming!
(The girls and Gru Jr head to the area where the Sparkle meet and greet is at)
Margo: Well, this is it, Agnes.
(Edith notices the long line behind an animatronic Sparkle the Unicorn replica)
Edith: The line seems pretty long...
Agnes: (excited) But it'll be so worth it! Come on, guys!
(Margo, Edith, Gru Jr and Agnes get in line. After the long wait, it's their turn)
Sparkle Animatronic: Hello!
Margo: Hi! My little sister Agnes wanted to see you since she's a fan of your show.
Sparkle Animatronic: Well, I think it'll be so great to meet her.
Agnes: (excited) Sparkle!
Sparkle Animatronic: Hi there! You must be Agnes. Your sister was just telling me all about you!
Agnes: Yeah! That's me!
