GRU:

(gleefully giggling)

Oh, this is going to be good!

Ahh...

CLICK. The safe opens, revealing--a JAR OF SALSA (”EDUARDO’S

SECRET RECIPE”).

GRU (CONT’D)

A-ha!

(registering it’s not the

serum)

What? It’s... salsa?

LUCY:

(disappointed)

Awww man.

INT:
RESTAURANT - SAME

Eduardo enters the restaurant. Senses something isn’t right.

Frowns angrily.

EDUARDO:

Oh... somebody’s going to die

tonight.

He cautiously walks through the restaurant. Sees the chicken

in the ball of cement. Gasps.

EDUARDO (CONT’D)

Pollito!

Eduardo runs over to Pollito and picks him up.

EDUARDO (CONT’D)

What’d they do to you? Pollito?

Can you hear me?

POLLITO:

Boc!

EDUARDO:

Who would do this to such a sweet

little chicken? What? Who’s

there?

His eyes darken.

INT:
KITCHEN - SAME

Gru and Lucy, who are ravenously eating the delicious salsa

with chips, turn to the door. Uh-oh.

INT:
RESTAURANT - SAME

Eduardo, carrying the chicken, makes his way to the kitchen.

Grabs a LARGE KNIFE off of a table.

EDUARDO:

You coming out?! Or am I gonna go

in?!

INT:
KITCHEN - SAME

Gru and Lucy react to hearing Eduardo’s voice. Gru pulls a

LASER CUTTER out of his jacket. Aims it at the ceiling.

TWEEEE! The LASER fires, cutting a hole in the ceiling.

DESPICABLE ME 2 CINCO & KEN DRAFT 44.

INT:
RESTAURANT - SAME

Eduardo approaches the kitchen, brandishing the knife. Ready

to confront any intruders. He shoves open the door and sees

chips and the salsa container sitting in the open wall safe.

INT:
KITCHEN - CONTINUOUS

Eduardo enters the room, just in time to see a pair of legs

disappear into the ceiling.

EDUARDO:

Stop!

Lucy quickly pops down and hits him in the eyes with her foam-

shooting watch.

EDUARDO (CONT’D)

My eyes!

He rubs his eyes, dropping the chicken and cracking its

encasement.

INT:
MALL - SAME

Lucy and Gru quickly run through the mall.

LUCY:

Gru, call one of your munchkins!

Gru produces a communicator and calls into it.

GRU:

We’ve been spotted! Come get us!

INT:
LUCY’S CAR - SAME

One minion sits on the hood of the car. The other leans

against a tire, toothpick in his mouth.

DAVE:

Huh?

(to the other minion)

Hey! Loo-koo-meow-plah!

STUART:

Ah! Koom-kwat!

DESPICABLE ME 2 CINCO & KEN DRAFT 45.

INT:
MALL - SAME

SMASH! The car crashes through the glass doors and speeds

through the mall. They crash into a bunch of cleaning

supplies being pushed by a janitor.

Gru and Lucy watch them from the balcony above.

LUCY:

Hm. Subtle.

They both run over to meet the car at the escalators.

The car heads for the escalators. As they reach the bottom,

Gru and Lucy realize the minions are about to go up the other

one!

GRU:

Over here, over here! Over...

here.

Too late. The minions shake as they go up the bumpy stairs.

Once they reach the top they take a left and start driving in

circles around the balcony. Gru pulls out a grappling hook

and aims for the balcony railing.

GRU (CONT’D)

(grabbing Lucy)

Hold tight!

They shoot up and land right back where they started - at

Salsa & Salsa! The minions zoom by in the car and Gru SIGHS

in exasperation.

Just then, Eduardo emerges from the restaurant with fire in

his eyes and a knife in his hand. Eduardo produces many more

KNIVES and heads straight for them.

EDUARDO:

I have you now!

BAM! Eduardo is struck unconscious by Lucy’s car. Just in

time.

Lucy opens the car door. One of the minions holds a

toothpick in his hand and leans on the steering wheel,

seductively.

DAVE:

Rawr, rawr!

The other minion revs the engine suggestively.

Eduardo starts to wake up. The car zooms past him.

EXT:
MALL DOME - SAME

CRASH! Lucy’s car plummets towards the ground. Gru SCREAMS

hysterically, but Lucy just hits a button and the car

TRANSFORMS into a jet.

They fly off into the night sky.

EXT:
GRU’S NEIGHBORHOOD - MORNING

It’s a beautiful morning. An ICE CREAM TRUCK makes its way

down the street (playing the song the minions were singing

earlier). It stops and a couple of CHILDREN run to meet it.

Stuart opens Gru’s front door, having heard the commotion.

Two other minions approach as well. Stuart spots the ice

cream truck and points to it, excited.

STUART:

Oh! Oh! Gelato!

And then suddenly a MOB OF MINIONS appears running for the

ice cream truck alongside the group of children. The minions

shove the children aside and clamor around the truck holding

out their money.

MINIONS:

Gelato! Gelato! Gelato!

Stuart pushes himself to the top of the unruly pack and tries

to maintain order.

STUART:

Stopa! Stopa!!

A hush comes over the minions.

STUART (CONT’D)

(knocking on the truck)

Hey-ho! Gelato!

Suddenly the ice cream cone on top of the truck transforms

into a LARGE TUBE and extends itself above the minions.

Stuart offers the tube a wad of cash and attempts to order

gelato, but the it begins SUCKING the minions into it. ZUP!

ZUP! ZUP!

One by one the minions (dozens of them, including the minion

with his head still trapped in the jelly jar) are sucked into

the truck until there is only one left. He tries to make a

break for it, but the truck lowers a popsicle in front of

him.

DESPICABLE ME 2 CINCO & KEN DRAFT 47.

He licks it, his tongue sticks, and he is yanked back into

the ice cream cone. The it closes and the truck drives away.

The children look on puzzled.

EXT:
PARADISE MALL - DAY

The hole that Lucy’s car crashed through last night has been

patched with plywood boards.

INT:
PARADISE MALL - DAY

PULL BACK TO REVEAL that Gru is inside a GARBAGE CAN

DISGUISE. Next to him is Lucy, also in a GARBAGE CAN

DISGUISE, using binoculars.

LUCY (O.S.)

All right, there he is. Suspect

#8:
Floyd Eaglesan.

BINOCULARS POV:

Floyd Eaglesan attempts to entice a customer to visit his

business, Eagle Hair Club.

GRU:

Oh. Okay.

LUCY:

See if you can get closer.

Go...go.

Gru quickly stands up, revealing his legs, and takes several

steps toward Eagle Hair Club. Floyd looks over his shoulder,

and Gru stops. Floyd enters Eagle Hair Club and Gru inches

closer.

GRU:

Alright, what do-

BINOCULARS POV:

Suddenly a MAN approaches the trash can with a steaming cup

of coffee. The binoculars readout says “WARNING! EXTREMELY

HOT.”

GRU (CONT’D)

(to himself)

Oh no. That’s not good.

The man goes to throw the coffee in the trash and we see

Gru’s legs pop out from beneath the can.

DESPICABLE ME 2 CINCO & KEN DRAFT 48.

The man looks confused and tries again. Gru dodges and takes

off running. The man chases after him.

Gru accidentally knocks into a bent-over woman’s rear end.

Insulted, she turns around, sees the man with the coffee, and

slaps him across the face. Unfortunately, Gru doesn’t see

the escalator ahead and goes tumbling down the moving stairs.
