Despicable Me 2 Page #16

Evil minion Kevin stomps toward the girls. They are backed

into a corner. It’s all over.

Then suddenly a HYPODERMIC NEEDLE enters frame and injects

evil minion Kevin. He falls over, writhing on the floor.

Then he sits up and-

Has turned back into a YELLOW MINION. It’s Kevin!

KEVIN:

Ooh-la-la! Pilatos?

AGNES:

Kevin!

The other minions dog pile on him with friendly hugs.

MARGO:

Dr. Nefario! You’re back!

Reveal Dr. Nefario holding the needle.

DR. NEFARIO

In the flesh.

Nefario produces a VIAL filled with YELLOW LIQUID.

DR. NEFARIO (CONT’D)

Behold, the antidote!

He walks over to a vat of the jelly.

DR. NEFARIO (CONT’D)

Come on. Let’s finally put this

horrible jelly to some good use.

He pours the antidote into the vat.

EXT:
EL MACHO’S HOUSE - LATER

Gru makes his way up the road leading to El Macho’s house.

He is wearing handcuffs, and being led at spear-point by Dave

and Stuart, who have been painted purple to look like Evil

minions. But they are goofing around and giggling. And they

still have a few yellow spots.

DESPICABLE ME 2 CINCO & KEN DRAFT 92.

GRU:

Hey, guys. Come on! Stay focused

here!

The minions somber up.

MINIONS:

Okay, okay.

Gru covers a smeared yellow spot with purple paint.

They approach the front gate, which is closed. Dave boosts

himself onto a stray box and speaks gibberish into the

intercom. He hears Evil Minion gibberish in response. He

responds back in Evil Minion gibberish.

The intercom buzzes and the gate begins to open.

The gate opens and there are DOZENS of PURPLE MINIONS milling

about. They eye Gru and his captors suspiciously.

Dave and Stuart poke Gru with a spear.

GRU:

(attempting to act)

Curses. Foiled again. These guys

captured me.

The Evil Minions CHEER at seeing this.

Gru, Dave and Stuart have to walk all the way to the house

surrounded on all sides by evil purple minions. The painted

yellow minions are very nervous. The purple minions eye them

as they pass. They GROWL and the yellow minions attempt to

GROWL back.

It’s extremely intense, but it looks like they’re going to

make it.

Then one of the evil minions makes a slobbery raspberry at

one of the painted ones. They get into a raspberry fight

until the painted minion is grossed out and tries to rub the

slobber off him. It rubs off the purple paint.

One of the evil purple minions points and SCREAMS. They’re

exposed! All of the purple minions run towards Gru, Dave and

Stuart. Teeth bared. Ready to chomp.

GRU (CONT’D)

Run!

They take off running.

DESPICABLE ME 2 CINCO & KEN DRAFT 93.

EXT:
EL MACHO’S BACKYARD - CONTINUOUS

Gru and the yellow minions burst into El Macho’s backyard.

The Evil Minions give chase.

GRU:

Up that tree! Hurry, hurry!

They climb a tree up to the roof of the house, only to be

pursued by more minions up there. And the Evil Minions have

devoured the tree so they can’t go back that way either.

With no escape, Gru and the minions run up a tower until they

reach the top--a dead end.

Here come the purple minions. They’re trapped. Gru kicks

them away and the yellow minions try to fight off the purple

ones. But they are clearly doomed.

And then Gru’s ship appears hovering above them! Modified as

a jelly-dispensing weapon and with Dr. Nefario at the

controls! The minions hang on the sides holding JELLY

BLASTERS.

The ship opens fire on the evil minions, transforming them.

POP! POP! POP! POP! One by one they transform back into

yellow minions. One of the Minions wipes the horrible

tasting jelly off his tongue.

Dr. Nefario sticks his head out the side of the ship.

DR. NEFARIO

Hello, Gru!

GRU:

Hey, hey! Nice work, Dr. Nefario!

Gru leaps onto the ship.

DR. NEFARIO

I put an antidote in the jelly.

(beat)

I mean, I’m happy to create an evil

army to destroy the world, but

nobody messes with my family.

GRU:

Thank you, Doctor! Now let’s go

get the--

Gru looks over to see Margo, Edith and Agnes onboard the

ship, holding jelly blasters.

DESPICABLE ME 2 CINCO & KEN DRAFT 94.

AGNES:

Hi!

Gru is flabbergasted. He turns to Nefario.

GRU:

You brought the girls?

DR. NEFARIO

Yes!

(beat)

Oh. Was that wrong?

Gru’s ship flies toward El Macho, blasting purple minions all

along the way.

From behind a large jelly gun Edith unloads round after

round.

EDITH:

Wooooo! Yeeeaaahhh!

El Macho witnesses his evil minions being converted back to

regular ones.

EL MACHO:

Oh no! What’s happening to my

minions?

(beat)

Gru?

Gru turns to Nefario and the girls.

GRU:

You guys take care of the rest of

the minions.

(beat)

I’m going to find Lucy.

Gru leaps out of the ship down to the roof El Macho is on.

He has two big jelly weapons in his hands.

Meanwhile the ship flies off with its jelly blasters firing,

and comes to land on the ground below.

The minions and the girls start jumping from the ship. Agnes

takes aim.

AGNES:

Eat jelly, you purple freaks!

Waaaaah!

DESPICABLE ME 2 CINCO & KEN DRAFT 95.

Agnes’ gun is a little too big for her and the kick sends her

a bit out of control. But she still manages to hit a number

of Evil Minions. The tide is turning.

Meanwhile, Gru has gone ballistic on the evil minions. BLAM!

BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! He takes the remaining few out.

El Macho kicks an evil minion at Gru, but he manages to hit

it with jelly and transform it back to yellow. Gru holds his

gun up to El Macho and gives him a threatening look.

GRU:

It’s over, El Macho. Now where is

Lucy?

EL MACHO:

(chuckles)

Let me show you.

He turns to a computer and pushes a button.

A fountain stops spewing water and underneath it STEEL DOORS

open from the ground. And out of them rises a ROCKET.

Strapped to it is Lucy. Tied to a SHARK with TWO HUNDRED AND

FIFTY POUNDS OF DYNAMITE strapped to her.

Gru is horrified. He GASPS.

LUCY:

Oh, hey Gru! Turns out you were

right about the whole El Macho

thing, huh?

(unconvincingly)

Yay!

El Macho calls to Gru, brandishing a remote.

EL MACHO:

One push of this button and I send

that rocket straight into the same

volcano where I faked my death.

Only this time--it’s for real!

GRU:

(horrified)

No!

Dave swoops in on a rope and grabs the remote, Tarzan-

style...

DAVE:

Tally ho!

DESPICABLE ME 2 CINCO & KEN DRAFT 96.

But unfortunately he smacks a roof support and drops the

remote. It bonks a bunch of minions on the head and lands on

the ground.

El Macho stares down Gru. Fire in his eyes.

EL MACHO:

We could’ve ruled the world

together, Gru. But now--you’re

gonna die.

He pulls out a vial of PX-41 and drinks it. Gru GASPS. El

Macho transforms into a giant, purple, furry creature. He

ROARS.

Gru pulls the trigger on his jelly gun, but he is out of

ammunition. He then pulls out the FREEZE RAY and fires,

encasing El Macho’s fists in blocks of ice. El Macho GROWLS

and slams his fists to the ground, shattering the ice and

knocking Gru off the platform and onto a scaffolding. Gru

SCREAMS.
