Despicable Me 2 Page #15

Edith takes off her blindfold.

EDITH:

Sorry.

GRU:

We need to go home now! Where’s

Margo?

AGNES:

But I didn’t get a turn!

EXT:
OTHER SIDE OF EL MACHO’S HOUSE - DAY

Margo sits at a table alone and depressed, wearing the chip

hat. She looks like she’s been crying.

GRU:

Margo!

Gru approaches her with the other girls in tow.

GRU (CONT’D)

Come on, we’re leav--hey, what’s

wrong?

MARGO:

I hate boys.

Gru turns and sees Antonio dancing with a PRETTY GIRL. Gru

frowns.

GRU:

Yes...they stink. Sorry, honey,

we’ve got to go.

He takes her hand and leads her offscreen before popping back

into frame and firing the freeze ray at Antonio. We see he

is now frozen in a block of ice.

EXT:
EL MACHO’S DRIVEWAY - DAY

SCREEECH! Gru’s car pulls out of the driveway and speeds

down the mountain, just as Lucy’s hang glider lands at

Eduardo’s.

DESPICABLE ME 2 CINCO & KEN DRAFT 86.

EXT:
EDUARDO’S HOUSE - DAY

Lucy looks around, but doesn’t see Gru. She maneuvers her

way through the crowd.

LUCY:

Oops, sorry!

She makes it through, but still no sign of Gru.

Suddenly Pollito appears and exchanges looks with Lucy. He

SCREECHES and flies towards her. She strikes a martial arts

pose ready to defend herself. As she does, her purse falls

to the ground.

The attack never comes and she looks down to see Pollito

pecking at her purse.

EL MACHO (O.S.)

Pollito! What’s the matter?

El Macho appears and picks up the chicken, petting it.

LUCY:

Oh, hey! Eduardo!

EL MACHO:

Lucia! I apologize. Pollito, he’s

usually not like this. The same

thing happened the other day

with... with Gru and...

El Macho drops off, deep in thought. Connecting the dots.

Lucy is oblivious.

LUCY:

Oh, speaking of Gru...uh, have you

seen him? I really need to talk to

him.

EL MACHO:

Yes, I think he’s somewhere around

here. You two are close, no?

LUCY:

Oh, I don’t know. I mean close...

I wouldn’t say we were close. Why,

did he say we were close? Did he

say that?

DESPICABLE ME 2 CINCO & KEN DRAFT 87.

EL MACHO:

It’s more what he didn’t say. For

instance, he never mentioned...that

you were both working for the Anti-

Villain League!!!

Suddenly El Macho turns Pollito around revealing that he has

her AVL credentials in his beak. El Macho grabs Lucy.

EL MACHO (CONT’D)

(threateningly)

You’re coming with me.

He leads her away.

LUCY:

Hey!

We see Dr. Nefario watching this, in shock. He’s holding a

drink and a Mexican flag cupcake.

DR. NEFARIO

Crikey.

EXT:
GRU’S HOUSE - DAY

The vehicle pulls into the driveway.

INT:
GRU’S HOUSE - CONTINUOUS

Gru walks the girls into the family room. Two minions sit in

front of the big screen TV playing a video game.

EDITH:

So Eduardo’s actually El Macho?

Cool!

GRU:

No, it is not cool. Plus, I pretty

much knew it was him all along, so

if anyone’s cool, it’s me.

The BIGSCREEN TV BEEPS. Gru and the others turn to look.

It’s Dr. Nefario. He’s at El Macho’s, whispering and looking

anxiously around him from under a table.

DR. NEFARIO (ON SCREEN)

(whispering)

Gru!

GRU:

Well, Dr. Nefario...

DESPICABLE ME 2 CINCO & KEN DRAFT 88.

DR. NEFARIO (ON SCREEN)

(hurriedly)

El Macho’s on to you. He knows

you’re working for the AVL. And

he’s got your partner!

Gru is confused.

GRU:

Lucy? Wha--that’s impossible!

She’s on her way to Australia...

EL MACHO (O.S.)

Nefario!

Dr. Nefario looks nervously offscreen. El Macho’s coming.

DR. NEFARIO (ON SCREEN)

Sorry, gotta go!

Nefario disconnects the camera. The screen goes blank.

Agnes GASPS and turns to Gru.

AGNES:

He’s got Lucy?

GRU:

(determined)

Not for long.

Gru begins to walk out of the room. He turns to the minions.

GRU (CONT’D)

Come on.

(beat)

We’re getting her out of there.

Gru marches out of the room, fire in his eyes. A man on a

mission. To save the woman he loves.

The minions are visibly disappointed to leave their video

game. One of them clutches the controller in his hand and

continues to play until the moment he exits the frame.

INT:
GRU’S GARAGE - DAY

Gru gets on his motorcycle. It’s the GRUCYCLE, a Gru-style

motorcycle, like Arnold in Terminator 2.

DESPICABLE ME 2 CINCO & KEN DRAFT 89.

EXT:
GRU’S HOUSE - DAY

A playhouse in Gru’s front yard drops away, revealing a hatch

in the ground. Out drives Gru. Two minions sit behind him

holding on.

He speeds down the road. Ready to kick some butt.

EXT:
EL MACHO’S COMPOUND - DAY

The yard is now filled with ROCKET SHIPS.

From behind, we watch El Macho emerge from his home to survey

the troops.

Some minions file into the rocket ships. El Macho watches

them and LAUGHS maniacally.

EXT:
GRU’S HOUSE - DAY

EVIL MINION POV:
The evil minion Kevin runs down the street,

nearing Gru’s house. He is scared by his own reflection in a

shiny parked car. He spots a tricycle and eats it.

Then Kyle spots him and GROWLS.

Kyle runs off and evil minion Kevin gives chase. He stops

when he sees the front door.

INT:
GRU’S HOUSE - DAY

Margo and Agnes sit on the floor playing a princess board

game. Next to Agnes is her unicorn.

They hear a SCRATCHING SOUND outside the window. Agnes looks

scared.

AGNES:

What was that?

Margo stands up. Makes her way toward the window, which is

covered with drapes. Then reaches a nervous hand and pulls

back the drapes.

MARGO:

I don’t see anything.

Suddenly, evil minion Kevin appears at the window, looking

really scary!

Margo SCREAMS.

DESPICABLE ME 2 CINCO & KEN DRAFT 90.

SMASH! Evil minion Kevin crashes through the window and

lands in the family room surrounded by shattered glass and

tangled up in the curtain. He turns to the girls, who slowly

back away. He looks at Agnes and ROARS.

MARGO (CONT’D)

Run!

Margo grabs Agnes and they run out of the room, accidentally

dropping the stuffed unicorn behind.

Agnes stops and runs back for it.

AGNES:

My unicorn!

MARGO:

Agnes, no!

Agnes stops and sees evil minion Kevin already has it in his

mouth.

Agnes screams a crazy HIGH-PITCHED SCREAM. It SHATTERS all

the glass in the room, including the glass in evil minion

Kevin’s goggles. He spits out the unicorn. He is slowed him

down for a bit, so Agnes safely grabs the unicorn, and Margo

grabs Agnes’s hand.

They run for the elevator to the lower level, with the purple

minion hot on their tails. The elevator drops just in time.

Evil minion Kevin slams into the glass door.

INT:
GRU’S LAB - SAME

Margo and Agnes run into the lab to find half a dozen minions

milling about.

MARGO:

C’mon! Hurry!

AGNES:

Whoa!

Edith plays ping-pong with the minions using nun-chucks like

Bruce Lee. Margo shuts the big iron door.

Edith and the minions stare back at Margo.

EDITH:

What’s the matter?

CRASH! The purple minion has eaten its way through the

ceiling!

DESPICABLE ME 2 CINCO & KEN DRAFT 91.

AGNES:

Whoa!

It drops down into the lab and lands on a dazed yellow

minion. The girls SCREAM as it jumps up and dashes towards

them.
