Despicable Me 2 Page #7

Back on the floor, three arm-in-arm minions take the chorus.

One of them clearly having had one too many sundaes is being

held up by the other two.

Another minion tries to carry empty mugs down a spiral

staircase, but he’s knocked off by a bunch of minions running

up the other way.

Several minions sit around a communal bowl of ice cream,

lazily sipping at it through long straws.

Gru enters and takes it all in.

Other minions raid an ice cream cart, hanging from the

canopy, drinking directly from the spouts.

DESPICABLE ME 2 CINCO & KEN DRAFT 37.

GRU:

Alright, hey, hey--No, no, no,

no! Hey, please!

The Minions stop singing.

GRU (CONT’D)

Kevin, Jerry, watch the girls for

me, okay?

(points)

Dave, Stuart--come this way. With

me! Come on!

Dave downs a jar of maraschino cherries and sprays whip cream

into his mouth before running after them, with a toothpick

umbrella in his mouth for good measure.

GRU (O.S.) (CONT’D)

Come on!

Once they are gone, the Minions go back to singing and

laughing.

INT:
GIRLS’ BEDROOM - NIGHT

Margo, Edith and Agnes are fast asleep in their beds. Kevin

and Jerry sing them a lullaby. Then smile and quietly close

the door.

INT:
HALLWAY - SAME

Kevin holds up a golf ball. Jerry happily jumps up and down.

KEVIN:

Hey, putt-putt?

JERRY:

Oh!

INT:
LIVING ROOM - LATER

Jerry puts the tee and ball in his mouth as Kevin stands on a

dresser, preparing to take a swing. He asks Jerry if he’s

ready and Jerry gives a thumbs up.

KEVIN:

Una, doo-

(laughs as he lowers the

golf club to Jerry’s

head)

DESPICABLE ME 2 CINCO & KEN DRAFT 38.

CRASH! CLANG! A noise comes from the backyard. The minions

exchange looks. What was that?

EXT:
BACKYARD - NIGHT

Kevin and Jerry step out into the yard and look around

nervously, armed only with the golf club and tee.

KEVIN:

Boca!

JERRY:

(scared)

Boca!

They walk over to the garbage cans. The cans begins to

rattle. Kevin and Jerry SCREAM as a CAT pops up from one of

the cans. The cat MEOWS.

Kevin LAUGHS at him and imitates Jerry’s scared face.

KEVIN:

Looka too!

Jerry slaps him. Kevin slaps him back. They start to slap

fight until-

A SPOTLIGHT comes down from above, lighting up the terrified

minions. Before they can scream...

WOOSH! Jerry is sucked up into the air as if being abducted

by aliens. Kevin grabs onto a flower, and then the cat to

try and anchor himself down, but they both fly up into the

air.

The light goes out. A few seconds later the light comes back

on and drops the cat back down. It turns off again and the

Minions are gone.

EXT:
MALL - NIGHT

The mall is dark and the parking lot is empty, except for two

minions and Lucy’s car.

INT:
MALL - SAME

A lone SECURITY GUARD walks through the dark mall, listening

to music on his headphones. He passes by Eduardo’s Salsa &

Salsa. Shines his light inside. All clear. He moves on.

DESPICABLE ME 2 CINCO & KEN DRAFT 39.

Once the guard is gone, a floor tile is moved aside and Gru

peeks out. After making sure the coast is clear, Gru calls

down.

GRU:

(whispers)

We’re stealth ninjas. We make no

sound.

LUCY:

Right. Gotcha.

INT:
EDUARDO’S SALSA & SALSA - LATER

Lucy kicks the door open.

She enters. Gru reacts.

GRU:

Alright, El Macho, you’re going

down.

But before Gru takes a step, Lucy stops him.

LUCY:

Wait! Wait!

GRU:

What?

She produces a SPRAY CAN and sprays the air in front of her.

Gru frowns.

GRU (CONT’D)

What are you doing?

LUCY:

I’m checking for laser beam alarm

triggers.

GRU:

It’s a restaurant!

LUCY:

You never know what kind of booby

traps this guy could have set.

Huh? C’mon!

GRU:

There are no booby traps!

Gru takes a step and kicks a TRIPWIRE attached to a tiny

bell. TING-A-LING! Lucy points to the bell.

DESPICABLE ME 2 CINCO & KEN DRAFT 40.

LUCY:

Ha! Booby!

Lucy GASPS as a door begins to creak open. She hides behind

Gru.

A tiny CHICKEN hops out. It CLUCKS. Lucy is confused.

LUCY (CONT’D)

Oh. There’s a chicken. Are you

lost little guy? You must be lost!

GRU:

Ha! Some guard dog.

Suddenly, the chicken leaps into the air and lands on Gru,

pecking his bald head.

GRU (CONT’D)

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiigh!

Gru runs in circles, trying to get the chicken off.

GRU (CONT’D)

Get it off of me! Get it off of

me! Get it off of me!

Gru SCREAMS as the chicken goes up his shirt and bursts out

of his sweater through the chest, “Alien”-style. He grabs

it.

GRU (CONT’D)

I got you!

It pecks him on the head, escapes, and continues to attack

him.

Lucy thinks fast and grabs a tablecloth from a table. She

lunges and covers the chicken with the table cloth.

LUCY:

I got it! Ha!

She tightens the tablecloth around Gru’s neck, trapping the

chicken and Gru’s head inside. A muffled scream comes from

under the table cloth and Lucy realizes what she’s done. Gru

runs around trying to get the tablecloth off his head.

Lucy does a karate flip/body slam on Gru and the chicken.

She removes the table cloth. Gru’s head has been replaced by

the chicken!

LUCY (CONT’D)

Ha!

DESPICABLE ME 2 CINCO & KEN DRAFT 41.

She goes to karate chop the chicken, but it flies off and she

hits Gru in the face instead.

LUCY (CONT’D)

Oh!

The chicken regroups, CLUCKS, and attacks.

Lucy acts fast and presses a button on her watch, squirting

FOAM onto the chicken.

FSSSSSSHT! The foam instantly hardens into a glass ball

around the chicken. Only its head sticks out. It wobbles

back and forth like a Weeble. Lucy turns to Gru.

GRU:

(dazed)

Ugh...

LUCY:

What is wrong with that chicken?

(beat)

Hey, that pollo? Es loco.

Gru is unimpressed.

LUCY (CONT’D)

(noticing Gru’s wounds)

No? Okay, let’s go.

INT:
KITCHEN - CONTINUOUS

Gru and Lucy step into the kitchen. Lucy pulls out a HIGHTECH

SCANNING DEVICE and aims it around the kitchen.

GRU:

You getting anything?

LUCY:

No. Not yet. But hey, maybe you

can find something with these x-ray

goggles.

Lucy produces a pair of HIGH TECH goggles. Gru shakes his

head.

GRU:

(skeptically)

Bah...

Gru puts them on and looks around the kitchen. We now see

the room from his X-RAY POV.

DESPICABLE ME 2 CINCO & KEN DRAFT 42.

LUCY (O.S.)

How’re they working? Tell me, tell

me!

Gru turns to Lucy and sees her as a SKELETON.

GRU:

Ahh! Ooof!

LUCY:

What’s wrong? Something wrong?

GRU:

Oh, that’s an image I’ll never get

out of my brain. Blagh!

Gru makes a face, disturbed. Then quickly turns away and

spots something behind a painting on the wall...a safe. Sees

something inside it--a METAL CANISTER. Smiles.

GRU (CONT’D)

I knew it!

He goes to the wall and removes the painting, revealing the

SAFE.

GRU (CONT’D)

The serum is in here!

LUCY:

Ooh, then let’s get it!

He produces a SAFE-CRACKING DEVICE and places it over the

combination wheel. Lights blink and it goes to work.
