Megamind Page #3

That always seems to Iift your spirits.

Good idea, Minion.

But without him, what's the point?

- "Him," sir?

- Nothing.

OK, all right. We'll just...

that's something to consider...

...and... Well, I think I'll just

power down for a while then.

He was always there for us. Dependable.

Perhaps we took him for granted.

You know, maybe,

we never really know how good

we have it until it's gone.

We miss you, Metro Man. I miss you.

And I have just one question

for Megamind:
Are you happy now?

This is Roxanne Ritchi,

reporting from a city without a hero.

Coming up next, are you ready to be

a slave army? What you need to know.

And... wrap that up and give it

to a child on Christmas,

- 'cause we're done.

- OK. See you tomorrow, Hal.

Wait. Roxie, I'm having a party

at my house.

It's gonna be, Iike,

off the hook, or whatever.

You should come over.

I got a deejay,

rented a bouncy house,

made a gallon of dip.

It's gonna be sick.

Oh. I... I don't know, Hal.

I don't really feel Iike being

around a bunch of people.

No, no, no, that's the best part.

It'll just be Iike you and me.

Wow. That... that's certainly

very tempting, but...

I did hire a wedding photographer.

That's just in case we were Iike,

something crazy happened

and we wanted a picture of it.

Like, maybe we should have this for,

Iike, ever. Like a memory, you know?

I'm gonna pass.

I have some work here

that I need to do, anyway.

Cool. So Thursday? Soft Thursday?

- Good night, Hal.

- That's a soft yes on Thursday.

What's wrong with me?

Rented a bouncy house?

Chicks don't Iike bouncy houses.

They Iike clowns.

Stupid van! You broke my finger!

I've made a horrible mistake.

I didn't mean to destroy you.

I mean, I meant to destroy you,

but I didn't think

it would really work.

What are we supposed to do?

Without you, evil is running rampant

through the streets.

I'm so tired of running rampant

through the streets.

What's the point of being bad

when there's no good

to try and stop you?

Someone has to stop Megamind.

- Hey, we're closing soon.

- You scared me.

- Barry, right?

- Bernard.

Bernard. I was just...

Well, I was talking to myself.

You probably think

I'm a Iittle bit nuts.

I'm not allowed to insult

guests directly.

Thank you. Just...

Bernard, I'll just be another minute.

OK.

Thanks.

I had so many evil plans in the works.

The illiteracy beam.

Typhoon cheese.

Robo-sheep.

Battles we will now never have.

You know,

I never had the chance to say goodbye.

So it's good

that we have this time now.

You know, before I destroy the place.

Nothing personal, it just brings back

too many painful memories.

Hello?

- Hello?

- Roxanne.

- That's a pretty tasteless costume.

- Costume?

Megamind's head is not

that grossly exaggerated.

And you even made a cheap replica

of his dehydration gun. How...

Hello? Is someone there?

Hello? Who's there?

It's just you, Bernard.

Yes. It's just me. Bernard.

Well, thank you

for Ietting me stay.

Look, I wouldn't stay here for more than

two minutes and 37 seconds

if I were you. We're having

the walls and ceiling removed.

Wow, that sounds Iike quite

the renovation.

I guess I'll catch

a ride down with you then.

I kept thinking he was gonna do

one of his Iast-minute escapes.

Yeah. He was really good at those.

Oh, if only the world had

a reset button.

I've Iooked into the reset button.

The science is impossible.

Oh, Bernard...

I didn't know you had... feelings.

Are you OK?

Metro Man's gone. And now there's

no one Ieft to challenge Megamind.

Oh, come on, Bernard.

As Iong as there's evil,

good will rise up against it.

Oh, I wish.

I believe someone is gonna stand up

to Megamind.

- You really think so?

- Yeah. I mean, it's Iike they say,

"Heroes aren't born, they're made."

Heroes can be made. That's it!

AII you need are

the right ingredients.

- Yeah. Bravery.

- Yes.

- Strength.

- Of course.

- Determination.

- Imperative!

And a smidgen of DNA.

Oh, with that, anyone can be a hero!

Yeah!

I think we should run!

Bye!

Time to put the past behind us.

Only the future...

I'm too close!

I'm genuinely scared right now.

I hope no one's seeing this!

Create a hero? Wait, wait, what?

Why would you do that?

So I have someone to fight.

Minion, I'm a villain without a hero.

A yin with no yang.

A bullfighter with no bull to fight.

In other words, I have no purpose.

Now, ask me how I'm going to do it.

Go on! Ask!

How are you gonna do it?

I'm going to give someone...

I don't know who yet...

Metro Man's powers.

I'm going to train that someone

to become Metrocity's new hero.

Over here! Follow!

And then finally,

I'm going to fight that hero

in an epic battle of good and evil.

Which will put everything back

the way it was...

...when the world was

perfect and rosy.

Behold, Minion, Metro Man's cape.

Look closely. Tell me what you see.

- Dandruff?

- Yes. It's his DNA.

From this, we'll extract the source

of Metro Man's awesome power.

Sir, I think this is a bad idea.

Yes! This is a very wickedly bad idea

for the greater good of man.

But I'm saying this is

a kind of bad that...

...OK, you might think is good

in your bad perception,

but from a good perception it...

it's just plain bad.

Oh, you don't know

what's good for bad.

Now, we have just one shot at this.

We must find a suitable subject,

someone of noble heart and mind.

Who puts the welfare of others

above their own.

What on Earth is that?

It seems to be emanating

from there, sir.

OIIo.

It's "Hello."

Hello? Like that?

- Bernard, it's Roxanne.

- It's Roxanne.

I just wanted to thank you

for inspiring me the other day.

- Oh, you inspired me too.

- Great!

It's time we stood up to Megamind

and show him he can't push us around.

Oh, really? She's so cute.

I'm already hot on his trail.

- And what gives you that idea?

- Sir?

I just found his secret hideout.

How did she find my hideout?!

How did you find his hideout?

This is the only building in Metro City

with a fake observatory on the roof.

OK. There's no way

she'll find the secret entrance.

There's a doormat here

that says "Secrit Entrance"!

- Minion!

- I kept forgetting where it was.

She'll discover all our secrets!

- Oh, no!

- You dim-witted creation of science!

- What?

- What? Oh, no, not you, Roxanne.

No, I was just yelling at my...

mother's urn.

Don't do anything.

I'll be right there.

Roxanne?

Oh no, not again!

Roxanne?

I'm glad you're here.

Wait, how did you get here so fast?

Well, I... I happened to be

speed walking nearby when you called.

In a suit?

It's called... formal speed walking,

but that's not important.

I better take the Iead.

This way Iooks exciting.

No, it says "Exit."

Which is the abbreviation

for "exciting," right?

This is the mother Iode!

- Wow. Just Iook at this thing.

- Wow.

You know, I really could use
