Despicable Me 2 Page #9

CRASH! BANG! CLANG! Finally, Gru pops out of the trash can

and lands at the bottom of the escalator with a THUD! Flat

on his face, he hears a familiar voice call out.

AGNES (O.S.)

Hey Gru!

Gru looks up and sees Margo, Edith and Agnes.

GRU:

Oh! Girls! What are you doing

here?

MARGO:

Well, we thought we’d come visit

you at work.

(looks at Gru and the

trash can)

So, you’re saving the world in a

garbage can?

GRU:

(sarcastically)

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha...funny.

Lucy arrives on the scene, joining them.

LUCY:

Hey, there you are. Oh, who’s

this?

GRU:

Lucy, these are my girls, Margo,

Edith and Agnes. Girls, Lucy.

Lucy, girls.

MARGO:

Hello.

EDITH:

Hi.

Agnes gazes lovingly at Lucy. A magical glow appears around

Lucy, who smiles back.

DESPICABLE ME 2 CINCO & KEN DRAFT 49.

AGNES:

Are you single?

LUCY:

Oh! Goodness...

Gru, immediately uncomfortable, claps his hands together.

GRU:

Oh! Hey! I have an idea! Since

Lucy and I have lots of work to do,

why don’t you girls go and explore

the mall!

Gru quickly shuffles the girls away from Lucy, trying to get

out of the uncomfortable situation. Gru pulls out his

wallet.

GRU (CONT’D)

Here is some money. Go buy some

useless mall junk! Some headbands,

and-

AGNES:

Are you gonna marry Lucy?

GRU:

Are you out of your gourd? No!

She just works with me.

AGNES:

Plus you love her.

(sings)

You love her, you love her, you

really really love her, and you're

gonna get married, and I will be

the flower girl, and-

GRU:

Okay, stop! That is a song of

lies. I don't even like her!

(points to mall)

Now go have fun!

Gru SIGHS. The girls run off, but quickly return to hug Gru.

AGNES:

Almost forgot! Hugs!

MARGO:

Good luck saving the world. Bye!

AGNES:

Bye, Gru!

DESPICABLE ME 2 CINCO & KEN DRAFT 50.

Lucy watches the group hug. Smiles. Gru heads back over to

Lucy, embarrassed by Agnes.

GRU:

Ha, ha, ha! Kids...right?

They’re...funny.

LUCY:

Those girls totally adore you. I

bet you’re a fun dad.

GRU:

Huh.

(beat)

I am pretty fun.

INT:
SHOPPING MALL - DAY

The girls are at the MALL FOUNTAIN. Agnes has her eyes

closed and a very intense look on her face, as if she’s

really concentrating on something. There is something in her

tightly clenched fist. She tosses a PENNY. Then opens her

eyes, waiting for her wish to come true.

Then Edith emerges from the water wearing a DIVING MASK AND

SNORKEL, hands full of COINS.

AGNES:

Is that stealing?

EDITH:

Not if my wish was that I would get

a lot of free coins.

Margo is busy texting. Then something offscreen catches her

eye.

It’s a boy. This is ANTONIO. Suave, cool, and a bit

dangerous. We watch in SLOW MOTION as he strolls behind the

fountain, and then disappears in its spraying water.

Margo looks for Antonio. Backs into the fountain and nearly

falls into it.

MARGO:

Whoa!

Antonio catches her.

ANTONIO:

Cool glasses.

Margo CHUCKLES nervously. He helps her back up.

DESPICABLE ME 2 CINCO & KEN DRAFT 51.

ANTONIO (CONT’D)

I’m Antonio.

MARGO:

I’m...Margo.

ANTONIO:

I was just going to get a cookie.

Care to join me?

MARGO:

Uh, sure. I’m...Margo.

They begin walking away together, then Margo is reminded of

her sisters when Edith loudly clears her throat.

MARGO (CONT’D)

Um...I’ll catch up with you guys

later. Bye!

She turns and runs after Antonio.

EDITH:

Can I be the first to say...Ewwww!

Agnes grabs Edith and shakes her.

AGNES:

We gotta go tell Gru!

EXT:
EAGLE HAIR CLUB - DAY

Gru approaches Eagle Hair Club.

GRU:

All right, I’m going in.

LUCY (IN HEADPHONES)

If it picks up any traces of the

serum the sensor in your belt

buckle--

Gru activates the high-tech scanning device on his belt

buckle.

INT:
BAKE MY DAY - SAME

Lucy is in the cupcake shop monitoring the scanning device

results. She can hear him and see from his POV.

DESPICABLE ME 2 CINCO & KEN DRAFT 52.

LUCY:

--will make a sound like this-- MEEMO-

MEE-MO-MEE-MO!!!

GRU:

(annoyed)

Okay! I get it! I get it!

INT:
EAGLE HAIR CLUB - SAME

Gru fumbles with the automatic door, then enters Eagle Hair

Club.

FLOYD (O.S.)

(chuckles)

Welcome to Eagle Hair Club.

At the reception desk, a large chair shaped like an eagle

spins around. Sitting in the chair is Floyd, looking

sinister and petting a FURRY OBJECT that looks like a cat.

FLOYD (CONT’D)

It’s about time you showed up...Mr.

Gru.

His pet BALD EAGLE perched next to him SQUAWKS.

GRU:

You...know my name?

FLOYD:

(chuckles)

When someone moves into the mall

who is follically challenged, I

make it my business to know all

about them. You are bald. And

that is bad.

He strokes the furry object. Kisses it. Then places it on a

MANNEQUIN HEAD. It’s a TOUPEE.

FLOYD (CONT’D)

There you go, my sweet.

INT:
BAKE MY DAY - SAME

Lucy monitors the chem-tracking device from inside the shop.

LUCY:

I’m getting nothing so far. I

think you need to move around.

DESPICABLE ME 2 CINCO & KEN DRAFT 53.

INT:
EAGLE HAIR CLUB - SAME

Gru listens in on the headphones.

He steps over to a wall on which hangs a PAINTING of Floyd

flying with eagles.

GRU:

Wow, this looks interesting. What

is it?

Gru thrusts his hips at the painting. Floyd watches him,

suspicious.

FLOYD:

I take it you’re an art lover?

LUCY (IN HEADPHONES)

No serum.

GRU:

Yeah, not so much.

He walks over to a podium with a TROPHY. He thrusts his hips

at that, too.

GRU (CONT’D)

Oh, how about this impressive

trinket?

FLOYD:

I’d hardly call it a trinket, Mr.

Gru.

LUCY:

(in headphones)

Nothing.

FLOYD:

The International-

GRU:

Yeah, I don’t care.

Floyd GRUMBLES in frustration.

Gru moves to a shelf filled with WIG SAMPLES. He straddles

it.

LUCY:

(in headphones)

MEE-MO-MEE-MO-MEE-MO!!! Hold on.

I’m picking up something! Behind

that wall!

DESPICABLE ME 2 CINCO & KEN DRAFT 54.

GRU:

Ah! And what do we have here?

Floyd grabs a sample.

FLOYD:

These are my trial wigs.

(holds out wig to Gru)

You should take one.

Gru sticks his head into the shelf to investigate.

GRU:

No thanks. So what’s on the other

side of the wall?

FLOYD:

Here you are! Look at me! Focus!

LUCY:

(in headphones)

Gru?

FLOYD:

I promise that this wig will

transform you from ugly to

irresistible.

Gru stares at the wig. Clearly getting caught up in what

Floyd’s saying.

Gru is about to respond when suddenly Edith and Agnes burst

in, out of breath.

AGNES:

MARGO HAS A BOYFRIEND!

EDITH:

AND THEY’RE GOING ON A DATE!

Gru stares at them.

GRU:

Date??? Boyfriend???

(yells at Floyd)

What???

Floyd shrugs.

INT:
SHOPPING MALL - DAY

Gru, Edith and Agnes race across the mall. Then Agnes points

over to the salsa restaurant as Margo and Antonio walk in.

DESPICABLE ME 2 CINCO & KEN DRAFT 55.

AGNES:

There she goes!

INT:
EDUARDO’S SALSA & SALSA - DAY

Gru enters to see Margo and Antonio sitting together in the

back of the restaurant together. Margo laughs at something

Antonio said.
