SIREN MINION (CONT’D)

Beedo! Beedo! Beedo! Beedo!

Gru takes away the bullhorn from the Siren minion. But he

keeps on making the noise.

SIREN MINION (CONT’D)

Beedo! Beedo! Beedo!

Dave fires the extinguisher at the Siren minion. He makes

the noise again and Dave sprays him with the fire

extinguisher, sending him flying offscreen.

INT:
MINION BEACH HABITAT - DAY

The minions enjoy another day at the beach. Kevin the Golf

minion drifts out in the water on an inner tube. He fixes

his coconut bra, then unpeels a banana and eats it.

INT:
CONTROL ROOOM - SAME

A hand pulls a lever in a control room.

INT:
MINION BEACH HABITAT - SAME

Suddenly a WHIRLPOOL appears in the water right next to him.

He gets sucked into it.

Kevin is pulled down to the bottom of the habitat and into a

TUBE.

INT:
LAB - SAME

Kevin pops out of the tube and lands in a waiting metallic

chair. His hat follows him down the tube and lands on his

head.

CLICK! A metal strap fastens around his waist. He shrugs

and continues to eat the banana.

FRENCH MAID MINION (O.S.)

Kevin?

Kevin looks over and sees the French Maid Minion strapped

into a chair nearby. He has a banana too.

KEVIN:

Tom?

They raise their bananas in the air.

KEVIN & FRENCH MAID MINION

Bello! Compai!

And then a GIANT DEVICE appears, looking like a huge, scary

HYPODERMIC NEEDLE filled with purple liquid. The needle

comes toward the French Maid Minion.

FRENCH MAID MINION

(to the needle)

Compai!

The needle is injected into him and administers the serum.

DESPICABLE ME 2 CINCO & KEN DRAFT 75.

The French Maid Minion starts to shake. Contorts. Then

MORPHS into a PURPLE MINION.

PURPLE FRENCH MAID MINION

Blaaah!

Kevin points and LAUGHS at him. He doesn’t see the needle

come down behind him. It injects him with the serum as well.

KEVIN:

Oh...

EXT:
EDUARDO’S HOUSE - DAY

Gru’s vehicle makes its way up the winding road to Eduardo’s

house.

INT:
GRU’S VEHICLE - SAME

Gru drives the vehicle, looking deeply depressed. The girls

sit in the back, dressed up for the Cinco de Mayo party.

MARGO, EDITH & AGNES

Cinco de May-yay-yo! Cinco de Mayyay-

yo! Cinco de May-yay-yo!

Gru’s expression doesn’t change. They pull up to the front

gate.

EXT:
EDUARDO’S HOUSE GATE - SAME

Gru’s vehicle pulls up in front of the open gate in front of

Eduardo’s house. His car almost knocks a bunch of parked

cars off the cliff.

The grounds are set up for the most elaborate and fun Cinco

de Mayo party of all time. Sumptuous spreads of MEXICAN FOOD

everywhere. LANTERNS hanging from trees. PEOPLE having a

great time.

Gru and the girls enter the compound.

EDITH:

Whoa! This place is awesome!

GRU:

Okay. Let’s party. Ah? But first

let’s go over the rules. Because

what is fun without the rules?

On Agnes with her mouth and arms full of churros.

DESPICABLE ME 2 CINCO & KEN DRAFT 76.

GRU (CONT’D)

Agnes, easy on the churros.

On Edith, swinging her ninja sword.

GRU (CONT’D)

Edith, try not to kill anyone.

EDITH:

Hai!

GRU:

Margo-

As Gru turns to Margo he sees that she is holding hands with

Antonio, face-to-face, almost close enough to kiss.

ANTONIO:

Hello, Mr. Gru.

Gru furrows his brow.

GRU:

Aghhh! Okay...

He grabs Antonio and drags him far away from Margo.

MARGO:

Gru!

GRU:

There must be the standard six feet

of space between you and boys.

(re:
Antonio)

Especially this boy.

Gru turns and sees that Antonio is back next to Margo.

ANTONIO:

(laughs)

You are a funny man. There are no

rules, Se.or! It’s Cinco De Mayo!

(to girls)

Come on! They’re starting the

dance!

He grabs Margo’s hand and takes off. Edith and Agnes follow.

Agnes explodes with delight.

AGNES:

(rolling her r like crazy)

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrriba!

Gru watches them go. Frowns.

EXT:
EDUARDO’S HOUSE - LATER

Gru, sneaking through the party, spots Antonio and Margo

dancing.

Gru sneaks up on Antonio, using the flashing strobe lights to

cover his approach. Suddenly Antonio is gone and Gru is the

one dancing with Margo, who has her back to him and is

oblivious to what’s going on.

Antonio reappears and kicks Gru in the crotch from behind.

He dances once again with Margo while Gru hunches over in

pain.

Gru then gets the upper hand and starts choking Antonio and

shaking him. Margo turns around and sees this.

Gru and Antonio see they are being watched by Margo and start

casually dancing next to each other as if nothing is wrong.

As the song ends, Margo takes Antonio’s hand and pulls him

away from Gru off the dance floor.

Gru is defeated and all alone.

INT:
EDUARDO’S HOUSE - LATER

Gru sits by himself in the corner, sulking and staring at

Lucy’s lipstick taser. A WAITER walks by and places a

tortilla chip sombrero on his head with the rim filled with

guacamole. He breaks off a piece, dips it, and eats it.

EDUARDO (O.S.)

So glad you could make it, mi

compadre.

Gru looks up and sees Eduardo standing there. Gru quickly

hides the taser.

EDUARDO (CONT’D)

(sensing something’s

wrong)

Hey, what’s wrong?

GRU:

Oh, nothing. Nothing is wrong.

I’m just chilling with the

guac...from my chip hat.

Gru takes another scoop of guacamole, smiles, and gives a

thumbs up. A glob of guacamole falls from the sombrero.

Eduardo puts his arm around him.

DESPICABLE ME 2 CINCO & KEN DRAFT 78.

EDUARDO:

Gru, please. I know that look all

too well. It is the look of a

broken heart.

GRU:

How did you know?

EDUARDO:

Believe me, my friend, I too have

spent many nights trying to drown

my sorrows in guacamole.

GRU:

You?

EL MACHO:

Yes. But we are survivors.

There’s much more to us than meets

the eye. Enjoy the party.

Eduardo gives Gru a meaningful look. And then walks away.

Gru watches him go. Deep in thought.

Gru notices Eduardo suspiciously sneak away from the party

and head into the house.

Gru gets up from the table and follows Eduardo. As he walks

through the party, several partygoers break tortilla pieces

off his sombrero to eat.

INT:
EDUARDO HOUSE - CONTINUOUS

Eduardo enters a dimly-lit room. Gru sneaks behind and peers

through a crack in the door.

INT:
SECRET MAYAN ROOM - CONTINUOUS

Eduardo stands in the center of a secret room, which is lined

with Mayan-style totem poles. He dances on the tile floor,

which lights up and plays “La Cucaracha” with each strategic

step.

The musical pattern is a code which opens a secret passageway

through the largest totem’s mouth. Eduardo enters and the

mouth closes behind him.

Gru tentatively enters the room. He pauses at the tile

floor. He tries to replicate Eduardo’s “La Cucaracha” code,

but a glob of guacamole from his sombrero falls to the floor

and hits the wrong tile. This activates a booby-trapped

totem pole, which halves Gru’s sombrero with a spear.
