speech about superheroes, today.

Turns out, saving someone's life makes

a good impression on them. Who knew?

I'm getting calls from

all over the world.

Media awareness is up 72%

The push for superhero

legalization's becoming

a world-wide movement!

I have big plans for our next move.

We're gonna have a summit at sea.

We'll use our ship we'll gather

leaders

and supers from all over

the world.

That's great. I'm happy.

I'm happy the numbers are up.

I'm happy the ambassador is

pro-superheroes.

And I'm happy, you're happy.

I'm hearing that you're happy,

but why am I not feeling it?

Because I didn't get him.

Screenslaver's still out there.

All I did was play his game

and win this round.

He's gonna want more and as long

as he gets to play, he wins!

One thing I've learned in business:

smell the flowers.

They don't bloom that often.

What do you want on your tombstone,

"She worried a lot"?

All right, stop talking,

show her.

Wow, ah...

Wow! Elastigirl, there you are.

- Hello.

- I-I didn't... wow!

Ahem! (Get yourself together, Karen)

Hi, my superhero name is Voyd,

I just wanna thank you, for like,

for being you.

And I'd... really like to say... Okay.

What I can do, um, is this.

Yeah, that is impressive

Very interdimensional.

I felt like an outcast. Before.

But now, with you being... you.

I really...

Yay, me.

I flew them in, from all over.

They've all been in hiding.

With powers, secret identities,

and

names they've given themselves.

I'm Screech, a pleasure.

I always considered you as

the gold standard for the superhero.

Well, thanks. You're too nice.

- I am called Brick.

- Nice to meet you, Brick.

- Where are you from?

- Winsconsin.

Oh, Elastigirl. I assume your powers are...

You know, zapping things electrically,

charging things, bolts of lightning,

that kinda stuff.

Name's Reflux.

Medical condition, or superpower?

You decide.

That's a little line I say

just to put people at ease.

- By the way:
big fan.

- Oh, no, no.

Reflux, love it.

Yeah, that is impressive.

Keep practicing.

Ow!

Well, I'm beat.

Congratulations. Big day.

Good night ladies.

I will see you tomorrow.

G'night.

Must be nice for you,

being out front,

- after all this time?

- Out front?

Well, it's been a while

since your superhero days.

And, even then, you were kind of

in Mr. Incredible's shadow.

Nah, I beg to differ.

I'm not saying you weren't big.

And you were and ARE a superstar.

But, you have the stage

to yourself, now.

People have to pay attention, now.

You mean it's a man's

world and all that bull?

What world do you live in?

- Your brother runs Devtech.

- I don't want his job.

I invent. He sells.

I ask you, which of us has

the greater influence?

Which side of me are you asking?

The believer or the cynic?

- The cynic.

- Would say, selling is more important

because the best sellers

have the most buyers.

Doesn't matter what you're selling.

It only matters what people buy.

This is true. If I discovered

the origin of the universe,

my brother would find a way

to market it as a...

foot massager.

So, what would the believer say?

The believer would tell you

to make your mark.

Don't wait for permission,

assert yourself

and impose your will

on the status quo.

- Sounds like my brother.

- What?

- You sound like my brother.

- Well, he's not wrong.

There's an art to

getting a reaction.

- Oh, I know how to get him!

- My brother?

Which... No! Screenslaver!

You're tech savvy; I need to lock

onto his signal and trace its origin.

How fast can you slap something

together and meet me at the airport?

- Airport?

- Need to get out of town, pronto.

I can get your contraption

together by 5:
am.

We need to get on TV. Chad!

I'll get my brother to set up an exclusive

with him tonight on the newscast

- Finish our interview by phone!

- Promote the hell out of it!

Independent from screen slavery!

'Chad Tonight. BOOM!'

- Dicker.

- Yeah, hey Rick.

You remember that kid I mentioned

to you, Tony Rydinger?

Mind-wipe? Yeah, nice kid.

Well, you also wiped out a Friday

night date, my daughter had with him.

In fact, you wiped out my daughter.

Oops. Not an exact science, Bob

Rick, you gotta help me here.

Violet hates me, and you,

and superheroes.

I gotta fix this.

What do you know about Tony?

Er... Not much. Seems like a good kid.

Popular, plays sports, music.

Parents own the 'Happy Platter'.

Kid works there, part-time.

Happy Platter?

Why did we drive all the way across

town for the 'Happy Platter'?

We'd like a booth, over there,

near the Philodendron.

Good, right, near the Philodendron?

This platter doesn't look

all that happy, to me.

It looks bored.

The Bored Platter!

I thought Vi would want a change

of pace from drive-in food.

I like drive-in food.

Does this mean, vegetables?

A balanced diet needs vegetables,

kiddo. Get ussed to it.

Good evening, everyone.

- OH!

- Gross!

- Is she all right?

- Yeah, it's OK.

- Let me help you. - That's fine sir.

- I'm fine! I'm fine!

Normally she doesn't ever drink like that.

OK, would you like

some water, sir?

Yes. Yes, I would.

This is my daughter, whom,

you must know, right?

- Hello. - (Violet).

- Hello, Violet.

- Hey, Vi, say hi to...

- Don't push it, dad!

I'm Dash, her little brother.

Hello.

Really good water, very refreshing!

- Mineral water?

- I don't know, sir, I think it's tap.

- Ah! Very delicious.

- Excellent tap.

Nice to meet you.

Where'd she go?

To find a good place to be angry?

Tonight, we go now to a special

remote interview with Elastigirl.

How you feeling, Chad? You doing all right?

I'm fine.

The doctors checked me out.

I have no memory of the event.

I gotta tell you, it's pretty strange

to see a recording of yourself

the night before, and

have no recollection

I don't think anyyone needs to worry,

we've taken many precautions tonight.

- Where are you, right now?

- On a case.

In a secure undisclosed location.

I want to talk about you,

starting with your save

of a runaway train.

Here's an exclusive, unedited

clip, from your own suit-cam.

Roll the clip.

This thing's really moving.

100 and climbing.

How much track is built?

Around 25 miles.

Screenslaver interrupts this program

for an important announcement.

I'll be damned, she knew!

Let's see if her gadget works.

- Don't bother wathing the rest...

- Gotcha!

Elastigirl doesn't save the day.

She only postpones her defeat.

And whie she postpones

her defeat,

you eat chips and watch her

confront problems

that you are too lazy to deal with.

Superheroes are part of

your brainless desire

to replace true experiences

with stimulation.

You don't talk,

you watch talk-shows.

You have craving to watch

game shows.

Travel, relationships, risk,

every meaningful experience

must be packaged and

delivered to you to watch at a distance

So that you can remain ever

sheltered, ever passive,

ever ravenous consumers
