Spy Kids Page #4

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.

Ha, ha, ha, ha!

GRADENKO:
You don't even know

what those things are.

I know they've heavy.

GRADENKO:
Hey, they cost

millions of dollars!

That brain's the only thing...

keeping Mom and Dad

from being zapped!

GRADENKO:
Stop her!

Aah!

Send in the thumbs.

Wait for me!

Unh!

How do you work this thing?!

Bring her back!

Ah, ah, ah! Don't you want

to see your parents...

you little brat?

- Unh!

- Whoops! Sorry!

Get back!

What's wrong with you?

They're just children.

Ugh! Unh! Aah!

Bad hair day.

Uh-oh. Going up!

Uh-oh.

[Watch beeping]

What?

Where did you go?

I'm right behind him!

Where are you?

I'm toast.

Give me back that brain!

Get away from me!

Tough guy, huh?

See ya!

Whoa!

Oh, my sister!

Oh, brother!

Uh-oh!

JUNI:

I can't hold on much longer!

CARMEN:

Get a grip, you big baby!

- I'm slipping!

- Hang on, butterfingers!

I'm not gonna make it!

CARMEN:
We're almost there!

- Don't drop me!

- I'm not gonna drop you!

- Aah!

- Oh.

Aah!

Unh!

What would you do without me?

[Tires screeching]

Hi!

It's a cruel, cruel world

All you little boys and girls

And some mean nasty people

Want to have you

for their supper

But if you follow me

you can all be free

Free, you can all be free

As a bird on a big TV

If you dream, if you dream

If you dream my dream

It's a cruel, cruel world

full of nasty boys and girls

Full of selfish, mean,

nasty people

Nasty, nasty, nasty, nasty

But there's a way

you can make your day

You can laugh, you can smile,

you can come and stay awhile

You can dream my dream,

you can have it all with me

You can dream my dream,

you can dream my dream

You can dream...

My dream

[Fooglies chattering]

Cut!

[Fooglies yelping]

Lock them up!

Whoa!

What does it need, Minion?

- I don't--

- My show! It needs something!

That thing that will take

it to number one.

I can feel it...

but I can think straight enough

to figure it out.

Floop, you're spending

too much time on this program.

You should be more concerned

with our grand diabolical plan.

- Syndication?

- The army of robot children.

This hardware gets in the way

of my creative abilities.

You lost the children.

Not only did they escape...

they took the Third Brain

with them.

It exists?

Completely. Cortez lied to us.

Send our best Thumbs.

Sir, if you want

to catch a criminal...

you send a criminal.

If you want to snare a spy---

Please speak English, Minion!

I've been baking

under those studio lights.

- If you want to find a child...

- Mm-hmm?

Send a child.

That is brilliant, Minion.

Thank you...

sir.

[Horns honking]

[Computer beeping]

Some locating device.

I can't even figure out

where the coordinates point to.

Who makes this?

"Machete Products."

What are you doing?!

That's our bargaining chip

on getting Mom and Dad back.

This is what Floop wants.

I think Mom and Dad

would want this destroyed.

How do you know what they want?

Until this morning, you didn't

even know who they were.

We keep the brain.

For now.

Why are you still wearing that?

That could be a tracer.

They could be tracking us.

Don't start

pointing fingers at me.

I didn't do anything stupid,

stupid.

You better stop

calling me names.

Or what?

Or I'm gonna call you names.

The booger was right.

I hate that!

[Gears clicking]

Thought I ditched you.

Why are you dressed like a geek?

We're no longer relatives.

Go away.

[Speaking gibberish]

You're just getting stupider

by the minute.

JUNI:
Get away from me.

Hey! Put me down!

[Motors whirring]

Always wanted to do this.

Ohh! Tough guy, huh?

Juni!

Put me down!

CARMEN:
Destroy the brain!

Destroy it!

[Gears pulsing]

Aah!

Owww!

Ohh.

[Juni moaning]

[Kids shouting]

They took the brain?

Yeah, but I took her necklace.

- She didn't even notice.

- They weren't very smart.

Yours couldn't even speak.

"Limited edition. Spy Kid.

"One of five hundred..."

Floop could have hundreds

of these flying around.

The Third Brain

makes them smart.

They're building an army.

We've got to save Mom and Dad.

Only they can stop the robots.

But who's gonna help us?

We had it working.

A synthetic intelligence

as smart as any spy.

Why don't you go ahead

and tighten that brain up?

GREGORIO:

The Third Brain System.

The OSS Director realized

it was too dangerous...

if the wrong forces

found the technology.

We were ordered to destroy it.

Why keep that a secret from me?

To protect us from something

you destroyed?

Or something you didn't.

[Clears throat]

All these secrets from me,

from the children.

It has to stop.

I'm sorry.

He wants the Brain.

If we save our children,

we risk the world.

So what in the world do we do?

Thanks for taking us

this far, but...

this is all we got.

[Tires screeching]

What are we doing here?

CARMEN:
Dad's code name

must be Hombre.

So, this must be Machete.

We're getting help

from Dad's best man?

What are you working on?

World's smallest camera.

I don't see it.

Ah, but it sees you.

You sell counterintelligence

stuff here?

- Come back with your parents.

- We can't.

We need something fast

that can get us here.

Who are you?

Carmen Elizabeth Juanita

Costa-Brava Cortez.

[Beeping and dinging]

Gregorio Cortez is our father.

JUNI:
You were at his wedding.

You will turn around.

You will leave my shop.

Because I never want to hear

my brother's name again.

You're our uncle?

Our real uncle? 'Cause

we already got a fake uncle.

Gregorio Cortez

is my younger brother.

MINION:

President's daughter.

President's son.

Oh, good.

Prime Minister's son.

General's daughter.

They're all here as planned.

I have to get back

to my show now.

You must focus

on the task at hand.

We have to prepare the army

before Mr. Lisp arrives.

I don't believe

in this anymore, Minion.

FLOOP:

I don't think I ever did.

Explain.

The mutated agents,

the robot kids.

FLOOP:
Those aren't my ideas.

They're yours.

So what?

I think that's why

they're not working.

Not yet they're not.

MINION:
But, you see...

I now have the Third Brain.

MINION:

I don't need you anymore.

Minion?

I assure you,

it's Mr. Minion now.

And you, Floop,

have served your purpose.

Children...

lock him in the...

virtual room.

[Gasp]

You're a secret agent,

aren't you?

What makes you say that?

According to the database,

you're always traveling...

and no one knows

what you do for a living.

I think we all

have uncles like that.

"Another fine Machete product."

You make the best spy inventions

in the world.

MA CHETE:
That's correct.

CARMEN:
But you sell them

to both sides, good and bad.

That's why Dad hasn't spoken

of you in all these years.

JUNI:
Ever sell stuff to Floop?

Why?

CARMEN:
Our Mom and Dad--

your brother--

are his prisoners...

and if we don't

do something to help...

something really bad's

gonna happen to them.

I don't see why

you won't help him!

You think I want to baby-sit

my brother the rest of my life?
