Despicable Me 2 Page #10

MARGO:

Oh, you’re so funny...

EDITH:

Gross! Look, they’re in love!

These words hit Gru like a smack in the face.

GRU:

Oh, no, no, no! Do not say that

they are...no no no, no!

He storms in. Edith and Agnes follow.

ANTONIO (O.S.)

...and my dream is to one day play

video games for a living.

MARGO:

Wow. You’re so complicated.

Gru storms over to Margo. Attempts a smile.

GRU:

Margo. What is going on here?

MARGO:

Oh! Gru, se llama Antonio. Me

llamo Margo.

GRU:

Me llama-lama-ding-dong, who cares.

Let’s go.

SALSA MUSIC begins to play and a curtain opens across the

room. WOOSH! Someone leaps out, spinning like a tornado,

then lands in the middle of the restaurant with a flourish.

It’s Eduardo.

MARGO:

Whoa!

Everyone in the restaurant cheers. Gru frowns. Not this

guy!

DESPICABLE ME 2 CINCO & KEN DRAFT 56.

The music continues and Eduardo dances across the floor and

out into the mall where he grabs a passing SHOPPER and pulls

her into the restaurant.

The confused woman holds on for the ride as Eduardo twirls

and dances her all around the floor. He dips her and she

melts, as do all of the women watching. Eduardo gazes into

the woman’s eyes and produces a business card.

EDUARDO:

Kids eat free on Tuesdays.

The woman grabs the business card from his hand with her

teeth.

Then Eduardo flings her across the floor and she twirls back

out into the mall where she knocks over her confused husband.

Then the song comes to an end and Eduardo strikes a final

pose.

Everyone in the studio cheers.

GIRLS:

Yeah! Wahoo! Cool! Awesome!

Everyone except Gru. Eduardo walks over to him and gives him

a big warm hug.

EDUARDO:

So good to see you again, mi

compadre!

Gru tries to get out of the hug as quickly as he can.

ANTONIO:

Oh, I see you have already met my

father.

GRU:

What the-- Father?!

EDUARDO:

Si! Look at this crazy small world

we live in, eh? Come, sit, let me

get you something.

Gru looks down and sees Eduardo’s chicken glaring at him. It

SQUAWKS. It’s unsettling.

GRU:

Oh... look at you.

Eduardo scoops the chicken up.

DESPICABLE ME 2 CINCO & KEN DRAFT 57.

GRU (CONT’D)

(nervous)

Haha. He likes me!

Gru tries to pet the chicken but Pollito lunges at him.

EDUARDO:

Oh, oh, I’m sorry, Pollito is

usually very friendly.

(cradling Pollito)

He had a rough night.

The chicken stares relentlessly. Gru CHUCKLES nervously.

GRU:

Well, we really should be going.

Girls, come on.

Gru tries to gather the girls, but Eduardo stops him, pushing

Antonio and Margo closer together.

EDUARDO:

That is a pity. Young love is

beautiful, no?

GRU:

No!

(chuckling nervously)

You know, they’re not in love.

They hardly know each other!

Eduardo suddenly lights up, having an idea.

EDUARDO:

You are right, Cabeza de Huevo!

They must get to know each other

better. Antonio, why don’t you

invite your girlfriend and her

family to our Cinco de Mayo party?

GRU:

No, no, I am-

GIRLS:

Si!

The girls are all thrilled at this, as is Antonio. As if on

cue, MUSIC begins playing and they all begin dancing

together.

Antonio takes Margo’s hand and twirls her across the floor.

Gru stares at Antonio with a look that could kill. A waiter

comes by to give Gru a party drink, and he promptly crushes

the glass with his bare hands. His eye twitches.

INT:
AVL HEADQUARTERS - NIGHT

Gru and Lucy sit across from Silas at headquarters.

SILAS:

I’m sorry, El Macho? Hadn’t we

eliminated him as a suspect? After

the whole salsa incident?

GRU:

Yes, but there has been a new

development, and I’m telling you,

this is the guy. You need to

arrest him immediately. And his

deviously charming son. I’m pretty

sure that the son is involved, too.

The son also. You’ve got to get

the son.

Gru approaches Silas.

GRU (CONT’D)

(whispers)

I think that the son is the

mastermind. There’s a look.

There’s a devilish look in his eyes

and I don’t like it!

SILAS:

Yes, but I don’t really see any

evidence for-

GRU:

Evidence schmevidence! I go with

my gut, and my gut tells me that

this guy is El Macho! Lock him up!

Lock up the son. Don’t forget

about the son. The kid gives me

the creeps!

Silas takes a deep breath and rubs his temples.

SILAS:

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear...

Lucy jumps in, trying to save the situation.

LUCY:

Uh, but, on the less...

(whistles)

...“crazy” side of things, uh, Gru

discovered traces of the serum at

Eagle Hair Club.

DESPICABLE ME 2 CINCO & KEN DRAFT 59.

SILAS:

Hm... Interesting...

LUCY:

Yeah, and you know who made that

happen? Huh?

(points to Gru)

This guy. Nailed it. Amazing,

right?

GRU:

No. I mean, sure, but it’s not

him. It is...

(whispers)

...El Macho.

SILAS:

Mr. Gru. Please-

GRU:

No. It is him! And I will prove

it!

And Gru storms out.

LUCY:

(calls after him)

Gru, c’mon!

Once he’s gone, Silas gives Lucy a look.

LUCY (CONT’D)

(laughs nervously)

He really thinks it’s El Macho.

Can you tell?

Silas is not amused.

EXT:
BEACH - DAY

The minion with the popsicle stuck to his tongue wakes up on

a beach, disoriented. He slowly sits up-

--and sees hundreds of minions partying!

This is where all the abducted minions were taken!

There are minions sitting at a Tiki bar, being tended by a

bartender minion...

...The French maid minion and a ukelele-playing minion are

dancing in the sand. They wave at him...

DESPICABLE ME 2 CINCO & KEN DRAFT 60.

Meanwhile, Jerry approaches the popsicle minion with two

bananas. He gives him one, does a Hawaiian dance with the

other, then runs off for the water. Popsicle minion tears

off his overalls and follows suit.

POPSICLE MINION:

Koonga!

The Popsicle Minion, now nude, runs across the sand and jumps

into a clear, blue ocean. We pull back to reveal that

unbeknownst to any of the minions, this is all happening

inside a large terrarium, and they are being watched by a

mysterious figure in silhouette.

INT:
FAMILY ROOM - DAY

Gru sits with his laptop. He’s on the eVillain site. He

clicks through various images of El Macho. Edith chases

Kevin, who has the wig in his mouth. A minion sets a stack

of magazines on the coffee table.

Then “YOU ARE NO LONGER CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET” appears on

Gru’s screen. He grimaces and calls out.

GRU:

Kevin, the wi-fi’s out! Kevin?

He looks to the minion at the coffee table.

GRU (CONT’D)

Hey, Lance! Where the heck is

Kevin?

The minion just shrugs and walks away.

GRU (CONT’D)

Alright, we need to revisit the

number of vacation days you guys

get. I can’t find anybody anymore!

DING-DONG! Someone’s at the door. Gru turns to it.

JILLIAN (O.S.)

Gru! It’s Jillian!

Gru pretends to shoot himself.

JILLIAN (O.S.) (CONT’D)

I’ve got good news!
