DESPICABLE ME 2 CINCO & KEN DRAFT 79.

GRU:

What the--oh!

Gru observes the destroyed sombrero in his hands.

GRU (CONT’D)

Huh.

Gru attempts the code again, but missteps. An axe from the

wall swings at him and misses.

GRU (CONT’D)

Oooh!

Gru missteps again and one of the totems lights up and spits

fire at him, burning his face.

GRU (CONT’D)

(dazed)

Aaaahhh...

He missteps again and a club whacks him over the head.

GRU (CONT’D)

Oh!

One of the totems shoots darts at him, piercing his nose.

GRU (CONT’D)

(in pain)

Aaaahhh!

Gru falls to the floor.

GRU (CONT’D)

Oooohhh.

His head hits the correct tile, and the Mayan passageway

opens. Gru walks to the door, pointing at the totems and

gloating.

GRU (CONT’D)

Aha! Ha ha ha-The

passageway doors slam on his arm.

GRU (CONT’D)

(in pain)

Oh!

He pulls his crushed arm through the doors.

GRU (CONT’D)

Ouch!

DESPICABLE ME 2 CINCO & KEN DRAFT 80.

EXT:
SKY - DAY

A 747 jets through the sky.

INT:
AIRPLANE - SAME

Lucy sits alone and stares out the window. Depressed. She

SIGHS.

She grabs an in flight magazine and opens it up to an ad for

wristwatches. It reads; “IN THE SKY, HE IS THE ONE MAN

EVERYONE CAN TRUST” and shows a picture of Gru giving the

thumbs up in a cockpit.

LUCY:

Say what?

Lucy reacts, shakes her head, and now the picture is just a

regular airline pilot in the cockpit.

Lucy turns the page. It’s another ad, saying simply “Gru

Now!” and showing a picture of a muscular Gru diving from a

waterfall. She GASPS and slams the magazine shut, then

slowly reopens it to find the picture is really just a random

muscular guy diving. It says “GO NOW - TO HAWAII!”

FLIGHT ATTENDANT (O.S.)

Would you like some peanuts or

pretzels?

Lucy looks up from her magazine to see the flight attendant,

who looks like Gru. She REACTS. Then looks across the aisle

and sees a lady that looks and sounds like Gru, talking to

another man who looks like Gru.

FEMALE GRU PASSENGER

Ha ha ha ha ha! That’s a good

joke.

Then Lucy looks behind her and sees the young mother looks

like Gru. The baby turns around and also looks like Gru.

GRU BABY:

I just did a boom boom.

The flight attendant tries to get Lucy’s attention.

FLIGHT ATTENDANT

I really need you to make a choice,

hon.

Close on Lucy as she has a moment of epiphany.

DESPICABLE ME 2 CINCO & KEN DRAFT 81.

LUCY:

I choose Gru.

(to everyone)

I CHOOSE GRU!

Lucy runs to the exit door and flings it open. WOOSH! Air

rushes throughout the cabin.

LUCY (CONT’D)

Thank you, Gru stewardess!

The flight attendant stands up, recovering from her twirl.

FLIGHT ATTENDANT

You’re welcome!

The other passengers wave as the plane’s oxygen masks fall

from each overhead console. And with that, Lucy jumps from

the plane, holding her purse.

EXT:
SKY - DAY

As Lucy falls from the sky she presses a button on her purse

and it transforms into a hanglider. She flies off with

purpose.

INT:
TUNNEL - DAY

Elevator doors open revealing EL MACHO’S UNDERGROUND LAIR.

Gru stands in the doorway, pulling the dart out of his nose.

The lair is a massive villainous complex that looks a lot

like hell. Gru takes the place in. It’s awesome and

terrifying. The magnet ship is there!

EDUARDO (O.S.)

You have not lost your touch, my

friend.

Gru turns around and sees Eduardo dressed in El Macho’s old

wrestling outfit, like we saw in the flashback.

GRU:

Ha ha! I knew it! You are El

Macho!

EL MACHO:

That’s right!

GRU:

Nobody believed me! Ho ho! But I

knew you weren’t dead!

DESPICABLE ME 2 CINCO & KEN DRAFT 82.

EL MACHO:

(laughing)

Of course not. I merely faked my

death, ha, ha!

(beat)

But now it’s time for me to make a

spectacular return to evil!

Doctor, I think it’s time we showed

Gru what we’re up to here.

Standing in the middle of the lair’s walkway is the one, the

only...Dr. Nefario.

GRU:

Dr. Nefario?

DR. NEFARIO

Nice to see you, Gru.

GRU:

Whaaat? This-- So, this is your

new job opportunity?

DR. NEFARIO

Absolutely. You’re gonna like

this.

Dr. Nefario pulls a lever. A platform rises with the Purple

Minion version of Kevin strapped to a chair on it.

EL MACHO:

Sorry--I had to borrow some of your

minions, but it was for a worthy

cause.

GRU:

Oh! Kevin? Agh!

EL MACHO:

No, he’s not Kevin anymore. Now he

is an indestructible, mindless

killing machine!

KEVIN:

Blah!

EL MACHO:

Just watch this!

He then presses a BUTTON.

--a machine gun lowers and the purple minion’s RIDDLED with

BULLETS, but unhurt.

DESPICABLE ME 2 CINCO & KEN DRAFT 83.

--a FLAMETHROWER shoots fire at the purple minion, but he’s

completely unharmed.

--an axe is swung at him, but he just eats it.

--an atom bomb falls on him, but he just swallows it and it

explodes harmlessly in his belly.

--a POLICE CAR is dropped onto him, and he devours it whole.

Gru stares, stunned.

EL MACHO (CONT’D)

And here’s the best part! I’ve got

an ARMY OF THEM!

The lights come on above El Macho, revealing hundreds of

caged PURPLE MINIONS.

Gru can’t believe his eyes. El Macho LAUGHS.

EL MACHO (CONT’D)

Soon I will unleash them on the

world--and if anyone, anyone,

tries to stop them...YEOW! Their

city gets eaten!

(beat)

We can do it together!

GRU:

Together?

EL MACHO:

Together! I have admired your work

for years, amigo. Stealing the

moon?! Are you kidding?! We would

be unstoppable! Men like you, men

like me, we should be ruling the

world!

(excitedly)

So, are you in?

Dr. Nefario pops a celebratory noisemaker in the background.

DR. NEFARIO

Woo-hoo!

El Macho eagerly awaits Gru’s reply. Gru just stares at him.

How does he get out of this?

GRU:

Uh...yeah...probably...

El Macho is taken aback.

DESPICABLE ME 2 CINCO & KEN DRAFT 84.

EL MACHO:

Probably?

Gru realizes he’s in danger and quickly tries to backpedal.

GRU:

I mean, yes! Yes. Of course, yes,

I just have a lot going on right

now...I just need to get some

things off my plate before we start

taking over the world, that’s all.

EL MACHO:

‘Scuse me?

GRU:

No--no, forget it! One hundred

percent! I am in!

(pretending to hear

something)

I think--what is--do you hear that-I

do. That’s Agnes calling me from

on the surf--

Gru steps into the elevator and the door shuts. Then opens.

He’s frantically trying to press the button that will return

him to the surface.

GRU (CONT’D)

Totally in!

The doors close and Gru is gone. El Macho stares, deep in

thought. Clearly suspicious.

EL MACHO:

You know what? I am not so

convinced that he is in.

El Macho presses a button that releases the Purple Minion.

KEVIN:

Blah!

EXT:
EL MACHO’S HOUSE - SAME

Edith knocks a pi.ata down with a BAT, then beats the crap

out of it.

GRU:

Edith! Agnes! Come on!

SMACK! Edith accidentally hits Gru in the face with the bat.

DESPICABLE ME 2 CINCO & KEN DRAFT 85.

GRU (CONT’D)

Ooof!
