Costume Party Capers: The Incredibles Page #3

---

- Nobody asked us.

- You need an invitation?

I'd like one, yes. We keep

sneaking out to do this, and...

- You remember Gazerbeam?

- There was something in the paper.

- He had trouble with civilian life.

- When did you see him?

I don't see anyone from the old days.

Just you.

- And we're pushing our luck as it is.

- Come on.

It was fun the first time,

but if we keep doing this...

- We have a report on a fire...

- A fire. We're close!

- Yeah, baby!

- We're gonna get caught.

Fire! Yeah!

- Is that everybody?

- Yeah.

- It better be.

- Can't you put this out?

I can't lay down a layer thick enough!

It's evaporating too fast!

- What's that mean?

- It means it's hot.

- I'm dehydrated, Bob.

- You're out of ice?

You can't run out.

You can use water in the air.

There is no water in this air!

What's your excuse, run out of muscle?

I can't smash walls.

The building's getting weaker.

- It's gonna come down on top of us.

- I wanted to go bowling!

All right! Stay right on my tail!

This is gonna get hot!

Yeah.

Uh-oh.

Oh, good.

That ain't right.

- We look like incompetent bad guys!

- You can get water out of the air.

Freeze!

Freeze!

- I'm thirsty.

- I said freeze!

I'm just getting a drink.

- You've had your drink. Now...

- I know. I know. Freeze.

Police officers!

That was way too close.

We are not doing that again.

Verify you want

to switch targets? Over.

Trust me. This is the one

he's been looking for.

- I thought you'd be back by 11.

- I said I'd be back later.

I assumed you'd be back later.

If you came back at all...

...you'd be "back later".

- Well, I'm back, okay?

Is this rubble?

It was just a little

workout. Just to stay loose.

You know how I feel about that.

Darn you! We can't blow cover again.

- The building was coming down anyway.

- What?

You knocked down a building?

It was on fire. Structurally unsound.

It was coming down.

Have you been listening

to the police scanner again?

I performed a public service.

You act like that's a bad thing.

It is a bad thing, Bob!

Uprooting our family again, so you can

relive the glory days is a bad thing.

It's better than acting like

they didn't happen!

Yes! They happened!

But this, our family,

is what's happening now, Bob.

And you are missing this!

I can't believe you don't want to go to

your own son's graduation.

It's not a graduation.

He's moving from fourth to fifth grade.

- It's a ceremony!

- It's psychotic!

They keep creating new ways

to celebrate mediocrity

but if someone is exceptional...

This is not about you, Bob.

It's about Dash.

You want to do something for Dash?

Let him actually compete.

- Let him go out for sports!

- I will not be made the enemy!

- You know why we can't do that.

- Because he'd be great.

This is not about you!

All right, Dash.

I know you're listening. Come on out.

Vi? You, too, young lady.

Come on. Come on out.

It's okay, kids.

We're just having a discussion.

Pretty loud discussion.

But that's okay. What's important

is that Mommy and I are a team.

- We're united, uh, against forces of...

- Pigheadedness?

- I was gonna say evil.

- We're sorry we woke you.

Everything's okay.

Go back to bed. It's late.

- Good night, Mom. Night, Dad.

- Good night.

In fact, we should all be in bed.

Request claim

Request claim

on claim numbers 158183...

Haven't you got him yet?

Where is he?

Mr. Huph would like to talk

to you in his office.

- Now?

- Now.

Sit down, Bob.

I'm not happy, Bob. Not happy.

- Ask me why.

- Okay. Why?

Why what? Be specific, Bob.

Why are you unhappy?

Your customers make me unhappy.

What, you've gotten complaints?

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!

- Did I do something illegal?

- No.

- We shouldn't help our customers?

- The law requires that I answer no.

- We're supposed to help people.

- Help our people!

Starting with our stockholders.

Who's helping them out, huh?

You know, Bob, a company...

Is like an enormous clock.

...is like an enormous...

Yes. Precisely.

It only works if all

the little cogs mesh together.

Now, a clock needs to be cleaned,

well-lubricated and wound tight.

The best clocks have jewel movements,

cogs that fit, that cooperate by design.

I'm being metaphorical, Bob.

Know what I mean by cooperative cogs?

Bob?

Bob? Look at me

when I'm talking to you, Parr.

- That man out there, he needs help.

- Don't change the subject.

- We're discussing your attitude.

- He is getting mugged!

- Well, let's hope we don't cover him.

- I'll be right back.

Stop right now or you're fired!

Close the door.

Get over here, now.

I'm not happy, Bob. Not happy.

- He got away.

- Good thing, too.

You were this close to losing your...

Uh-oh.

Please report to

operating room 722 immediately.

- How is he?

- He'll live.

- I'm fired, aren't I?

- You think?

- What can I say, Rick?

- Nothing you haven't said before.

- Someone was in trouble.

- Always.

- I had to do something.

- Every time you say that,

it's a month and a half

of trouble for me.

Hundreds of thousands

of taxpayer's dollars.

- I know.

- We pay to keep the company quiet.

We pay damages, erase memories,

relocate your family.

Every time it gets harder.

Money, money, money.

We can't keep doing this. We appreciate

what you did in the old days,

but those days are over.

From now on, you're on your own.

Listen, Bob. Maybe I could relocate you,

you know, for old times' sake.

I can't do that to my family.

Everyone just got settled.

I'll make it work. Thanks.

Take care of yourself.

What are you waiting for?

I don't know.

Something amazing, I guess.

Me, too, kid.

Huh?

"Hold still"?
