Spy Kids Page #6

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.

You turned my dad

into a Fooglie?

No, I didn't.

But I might be able

to change him back.

[Squeaking]

MINION:
Gentlemen...

your army marches to meet us

as we speak.

MINION:
Your faith

and your patience...

have meant more than you know.

I speak for Mr. Floop

when I say that the value...

we place on partnership is--

FLOOP:
Minion! This is Floop.

Please report

to the robotics lab at once.

We have huge, major, big-time

problems with the robots.

LISP:
I thought you said

Floop wasn't here.

He's not.

FLOOP:
A problem, Mr. Minion,

as in mucho grande problemo.

I'm gonna...

just be a moment.

FLOOP:
Minion!

Floop?

Where are you?

FLOOP:
Behind you.

What do you think you're doing?

You're supposed to be in line

with the others.

[Using Minion's voice] You're

supposed to be with the others.

- Stop that.

- Stop that!

- Stop that this instant!

- Stop that this instant!

Stop that right now!

Or what?

No.

Clever boy you've got there,

Cortez. Very clever indeed.

Yes.

He gets that from his mother.

Can I offer some sort of truce

in exchange for your daughter?

Spoken for.

There you are. Didn't see you.

Didn't see her.

Yaah!

I am going to show you

what happens...

when you cross the line

and involve family.

INGRID:
Now let's get

nice and comfortable.

Yes.

Promising. Thank you.

- You couldn't possibly.

- No, but you can.

Don't let go, Ingrid.

Hey, you two, come on.

Fools.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

Come on.

We have to keep the army

from leaving the castle.

Our only chance is to get

to the control room...

and hope that their missions

have not been programmed.

And what if they have?

Then there's no one on earth

who can stop them.

- One at a time.

- Go. Go.

Left, left, left, left!

That way.

Where's Mom and Dad?

Your doppelgangers have them.

Can you shut them down

from here?

It's too late.

The Third Brain

is linked not only to them...

but to all the robot children.

- Can't you remove it?

- We can't take 500 brains out!

- So don't. Just reprogram it.

- That would take weeks!

- Just two words.

- A binary switch. Of course.

So they would define

right as wrong...

And wrong as right. Come on.

But it's not that simple.

Figure it out.

We'll be back for you.

Teach them to be good.

Have a seat, Mr. Lithp.

You'll be more comfortable.

It's Lisp.

My army, Ms. Gradenko,

is the only comfort I need.

They're on their way now, sir.

Minion?

What happened to your head?

Oh, don't worry.

I think it's reversible.

Mom! Dad!

Careful.

They're stronger

and smarter now.

So are we.

Yaah!

See?

Oh, shi...take mushrooms.

Whoa! Ohh!

Ohh...ohh...ohh...

ohh...ohh...ohh...

Let's go.

GREGORIO:
Lisp. Should have

known you were behind this.

I take it you are Minion.

[Giggles]

Ms. Gradenko...I think.

Oh, it's me, all right.

I owe my new look

to your children.

Remind me to raise

their allowance.

LISP:
Minion, I think

now would be a good time...

to see a demonstration of your

wonderfully demonic children.

Certainly.

Argh!

Your parents

were so easy to capture...

and you're not any better.

Poor little Juni.

Defenseless and weak.

You're a worthless

little squirt.

Juni! Don't listen to her.

You're not worthless!

You figured out

how to get us here.

You helped Floop realize

he was good, not bad.

You talked to the Fooglies

and saved Mom and Dad.

You're strong, Juni!

You're strong!

You're not that strong, Juni!

Ow.

Puny...Juni.

It's all over.

[Giggling]

Instant cement!

That should hold them.

[Cement cracking]

- Let's go find Mom and Dad.

- Good idea.

MINION:
All robots

report to the grand room...

for a final demonstration

of your destructive powers.

- Mom, Dad!

- Juni!

INGRID:

Carmen, Juni, close your eyes.

We don't want you

to see this, OK?

[Punching, socking]

Whoa!

INGRID:
Any ideas?

I'm thinking. I'm thinking.

Wonderful. Wonderful.

- Carmen?

- No. Juni?

GREGORIO:
I've thought it out.

Yes. I've thought it out.

I think I got it.

INGRID:
Tell us.

Family, here's what we do.

I'll take the hundred

on the right.

Ingrid, you take the hundred

on the left.

Carmen, hundred center-left.

Juni, center-right.

It'll work. It'll work.

JUNI:
That's 500 total, Dad.

We need one more person.

- Isador.

- Hello, little brother.

Children!

Tear them limb from limb.

Good. How? How?

I'll have to teach them.

Shaped by environment, man...

[Gasps] Of course!

- Aah!

- Haaah!

LISP:
Aah!

LISP:
Minion!

Tell them to put me down!

MINION:
Their mind

is a mirror now, sir.

Anything we tell them goes

in one ear and out the other!

Why did you come back?

For the same reason I left.

You know what?

I don't remember that reason.

Neither do I.

[Sniffling]

It's OK, it's OK.

It's OK. Let it go. Let it go.

He's fine. He's gonna be fine.

He's emotional. Latinos.

OK. That's it.

That's it. That's it.

So, what did you teach them?

It's not what

I can teach the children...

but what you taught me.

You won today, Juni,

and not because...

you were the biggest

or the strongest...

but because you were

pure of heart and of mind.

And now the robots

have learned that as well.

Thank you.

We went on the old-fashioned

adventure I always wanted.

And we didn't do

one thing right.

Nope.

We did two things right.

There is something

that we have to tell you.

INGRID:
Your father and I...

we're secret agents.

We have something to tell you.

We're secret agents, too.

NEWSCASTER:
Eight more

incidents witnessed today...

all in different countries...

of yet another group

of children...

who've done

some incredible good deeds.

It seems that a day

doesn't go by...

that another amazing child...

performs some outstanding

act of charity...

or community service.

Who are these children...

and why are they so good

at being good?

I gotta have

the business section.

I thought

you closed down your shop.

Yeah, but I gotta keep tabs

on free enterprise.

CARMEN:
Boys,

can we please stop fighting?

ANNOUNCER:
Hey, kids,

it's time for...

Floop's Fooglies!

Good morning, my children.

Today,

I'd like to introduce you...

to two new characters

on our show...

Carmenita and Junito.

[Beeping tone]

Ah, Cortezes.

An emergency assignment

has come up in the Far East.

I need you on it right away.

Oh, sorry, Devlin.

We haven't talked about this

as a family yet, so...

GREGORIO:
Whether we

come out of retirement...

or not is a decision

that is up to us...

and our kids.

Uh, Gregorio, Ingrid,

I wasn't talking to you.

Ey?

No, this assignment

is for Carmen and Juni.

They're the ones we need.

They're the two most amazing

field agents...

that this organization's

ever seen.

So what do you say, kids?

You up for it?

Devlin,

if you want the Cortezes...

you take all the Cortezes...

even Mom and Dad.

From now on, whatever we do,

we do together.

Spy work...that's easy.

Keeping a family together...

that's difficult.

And that's the mission

worth fighting for.
