Spy Kids Page #3

Synopsis: Gregorio and Ingrid are the two greatest secret agents the world has ever known: masters of disguise, mavens of invention, able to stop wars before they even start. Working for separate countries, they are sent to eliminate their most dangerous enemy...each other. But in an exotic corner of the world when they finally come face to face, they fall in love instead and embark on the most dangerous mission they have ever faced: raising a family. Now nine years later, after their retirement, having exchanged the adventure of espionage for parenthood, Gregorio and Ingrid Cortez are called back in to action. When their former colleagues, the world's most formidable spies, start disappearing one by one, the Cortez's are forced to take on techno-wizard Fegan Floop and his evil, egg-headed sidekick, Minion. But when the unthinkable happens and they too disappear, unfortunately there are only two people in the world who can rescue them...their kids.

Uhh! Aah!

COMPUTER:
Autopilot re-engaged.

CARMEN:
Wow!

We are definitely

gonna be late for school.

Stop shaking.

I can't.

Stop shaking, or you'll

give yourself more warts.

CARMEN:
We're gonna be fine.

Just be cool...

and do exactly as I say.

OK.

[Electronic beeping]

[Computer engages]

COMPUTER:
Welcome

to the N.I.X. Super Guppy.

[Beeping and whistling]

Juni, don't touch anything.

Juni!

- Whoa!

- Whoa! Cool.

COMPUTER:

Destination--safe house.

Estimated time for arrival...

two hours, thirty minutes.

- Juni, close your eyes.

- Why?

Just keep them shut,

all right?

OK, you can open your eyes now.

Thanks.

I just don't want you

crying all over me.

We're never gonna

see them again, are we?

[Chiming]

COMPUTER:

Refreshments ready.

Would you care

for a lullaby, sir?

[Flushing]

Now flushing your poop.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Computer mumbling]

Very dangerous.

[Chittering]

INGRID:
Characters

from Floop's TV show.

They're prisoners.

FLOOP:

We need the Brain, Minion.

We're running out of time.

Don't worry, sir.

Ingrid and Gregorio Cortez...

are the only agents I know of

that never had a weakness...

MINION:
but times change.

Now they have two.

JUNI:
Did you lock it?

[Theft alarm beeping]

CARMEN:
Yep.

That's the safe house?

JUNI:

Looks more like an outhouse.

DOOR:
Your name?

Carmen Cortez.

DOOR:
Your full name, please.

I don't use my full name.

It's too long.

Your full name, please.

Carmen Elizabeth Juanita

Costa-Brava Cortez.

My name's a pass-code?

[Generator humming]

[Machines beeping]

Whoa.

This place is amazing.

Empty.

How safe is a safe house

if there's nothing to eat?

[Gears winding]

"Machete's Buddy Pack"?

Whoa!

Emergency cash?

From every country.

I think I'd better

take all of that.

Check it out.

Thank you, Carmen!

We'll see them again.

Just like they said.

So this time

we're supposed to believe them.

Let's stop worrying

about the children.

They still wear diapers.

Only one is in diapers

and only at night.

It's not that unusual, OK?

This is why I never wanted

to go on another mission.

Are you blaming me for this?

An hour ago you seemed happy

to be back in the game.

An hour ago

I was not a prisoner of war.

OK, we're a little rusty,

that's all.

This is one way to find out

who's behind all this.

If I can just get

the pressure right.

She's still got it.

How did you do that?

Hey, hey, hey, what about me?

Remember when we could

sense danger a mile away?

[Floor cracking]

- Those were the days.

- Yeah.

No.

Aah! Sweetheart!

Oh!

Oh! Heh heh!

Clever.

OK, OK, come on, come on.

- All right.

- Yeah, yeah, fine.

Very clever.

Virtual room.

Let's go.

Where are we?

You gotta give him points

for imagination.

Whoa!

[Ticking]

Fifteen minutes to escape.

With your reputations

I was expecting something...

a little more impressive.

Finally, we can eat!

GREGORIO:
So, you are Floop.

Mmhh! You watch my show!

GREGORIO:
No, my son does.

He does? Wonderful!

Carmen and Juni.

But not your daughter...

Carmen, isn't it?

And Juni? Heh heh!

Your children

will be joining us soon.

Careful!

I snap my fingers...

and my fingers snap you.

Heh heh!

Where are the OSS agents

you've taken?

Twelve years ago...

they were part of

a research team for the OSS...

attempting to create

a synthetic intelligence...

a compendium of spy knowledge,

if you will.

Research since destroyed.

If the OSS destroyed

its research...

it was for a reason.

We all have our reasons, hmm?

There was someone else

on that research team, hmm?

Someone else

who could rebuild it.

Isn't that right, Mr. Corteth?

[Gulps]

Felix.

[Chattering and squealing]

I think he's gonna be

a best-seller.

And just in time

for the holiday rush.

Heh... heh... heh!

I will never, ever

build anything for you.

Thank you for joining us.

Whoa!

Whoa!

[Metal crashing]

"How To Be A Spy. "

Author unknown.

"A good spy uses--"

[Voice booming]

Testing! One, two--

Ow! Gosh!

You're too close!

"A good spy uses his head."

Got that?

It's the first one in the book.

Ew, gross!

- What do you see?

- You.

Very funny.

Focus your eyes closer...

on the glasses themselves.

Whoa! Maps and readouts.

CARMEN:

That's the computer screen.

It's a database of some kind.

CARMEN:

The wedding from the story.

It was theirs.

They should've told us

about this stuff.

Yeah?

What about Diego and Renaldo...

and all

your make-believe friends?

Should Mom and Dad

know about that?

What about all the days

you skip school?

- Want them to know about that?

- That's my business.

Uh, Carmen?

I don't have a key.

Go knock it against something.

"A good spy has no fear."

Sorry, Juni.

Guess you can't be a spy.

"A good spy puts himself--"

herself--

"in the mind-set

of the opponent."

Mind-set.

That's exactly what we'll do.

I think it's up to us.

You with me?

- With you what?

- Find the OSS like Felix said.

- OK.

- Then let's go.

[Knocking on front door]

Hi! I'm Ms. Gradenko.

We work for your parents.

"We?"

GRADENKO:
I can understand

if you don't trust me...

You were a baby

when we first met.

Remember me now?

Sorry. I have a key. You see?

We're all on the same side.

We're here to protect you.

My mom has a bracelet like that.

OSS standard issue.

We all have one.

OSS? You work with my parents?

Yes.

Now, please listen closely.

Open your ears.

You father was able to send one

last communique this morning...

before he disappeared.

It consisted of five letters.

F-I-O...

O...P!

JUNI:
But you're wrong.

Fabulous Floop

would never do that.

Oh, trust me.

He's not that fabulous.

In fact, recognize these?

Floop's Fooglies.

I've got toy versions.

This is what they looked like

before he mutated them.

CARMEN:
You mean these mutants

are captured secret agents?

- We're dealing with a genius.

- Told you Floop was a freak.

And that cute,

little tuneless song...

the characters sing?

Play it backwards...

FOOGLIES:
We're trapped!

Floop is a madman!

Help us! Save us!

Floop is a madman!

Help us! Save us!

A cry for help.

Will Floop do that

to Mom and Dad?

Definitely.

Unless he gets something

your father helped develop.

If there's anything

you can possibly remember--

- The Third Brain lives.

- What?

Felix gave us a message

to deliver to the OSS...

and here you are.

Here I am. What's the message?

The Third Brain lives.

Ohh! Carmen...

you have just joined the ranks

of women spies in the OSS.

Brilliant.

- Girls.

- Now.

GRADENKO:
Where does

the Third Brain live exactly?

Did Felix tell you that?

CARMEN:
I don't think he said.

GRADENKO:
He didn't say?

Are you sure?

Search the place.

It wasn't at the house,

so it must be here.

You were at our house?

Oh, no!

Oh, my God.

It exists.

That's what Floop wants?

Oh!

It's so beautiful!

Carmen! She's working for Floop!

Fly this to Floop's castle

immediately.

- Yes, ma'am.

- Don't move!
