The Emoji Movie Page #2

Wait! Alex is changing his mind.

He's moving.

Okay. Looks like it's gonna be Meh.

I'm so nervous, I could almost shrug.

We are go for Meh.

Initiating scan.

Okay. You can do this.

I can't do this! I can't do it!

What is this?

Stop the scan!

I can't! It's too late!

Meh, meh, meh, meh. My goodness, I'm freaking out!

What's he doing?

He's making the wrong face!

Good for him! Little... Wait, what?

Be meh! Be meh! Be meh!

Abort! Abort!

Shut it down! Shut it down!

What is that emoji?

Wrong emoji sent! Evacuate the Meh cube!

Evacuate the cube!

I got to get out of here.

Get that bozo out of there!

I'm trying!

No!

My God.

The humanity.

Medic.

Sorry, everybody. That was not what I meant to do.

I kinda...

I kinda panicked.

Are you even a Meh at all?

Course he is.

He's my spitting image.

If you have expressions other than meh,

what you are is a malfunction.

Malfunction?

No! I can be meh. Just give me one more chance.

That's not gonna happen.

You know what would be really fun?

A board meeting.

Where we could figure out what to do with you!

I knew there was something wrong with him.

A malfunction?

What's gonna happen to him?

He can't work on the phone.

What would Alex think?

What do his parents think?

I just wanted to be useful, you know? Fit in.

Now everybody thinks I'm a malfunction.

I am a malfunction.

Even if you are a malfunction, Gene,

your mom and dad still love ya.

I knew you weren't ready.

Let's get you out of here and take you home.

One day, all this will blow over,

and everyone will almost forget about what you did.

Until then,

you should probably stay locked up in the apartment.

Wait. You want to hide me away?

You're embarrassed of me.

It's for your own safety.

We're trying to protect you, son.

Gene? Where are you going?

I'm not gonna run away from this.

I'm an emoji, and even though I'm not sure exactly which one,

I've got to have some sort of purpose here.

I know it.

Gene, no.

Sweetie, please.

Boy.

A malfunction...

Order! Order!

The motion is carried.

So, how'd it go, Gavel?

Hey, Light Bulb, tell me what's going on in there.

What? Poop, what is it?

Tell me, turd. Tell me true. What happened?

I know it was an accident. We all have accidents.

You're so soft, Poop.

Not too soft, I hope.

Gene!

We were just gonna come looking for you.

Why don't you come inside the boardroom,

and we can have a teeny, weeny chat.

Um, I came up here to defend myself, but you seem pretty happy.

So, good news?

Right. I'm always happy.

Right. Hashtag truth.

Well, the only thing that could ever make me unhappy

is if one of our emoji team made a mistake,

which caused Alex to lose faith in the phone.

And then our whole world gets wiped out.

Smiler, I double-pinky-swear promise to you

that I will never, ever make a mistake in the cube again.

We know you won't, Gene.

We know you won't.

You know, the first time you said it,

it sounded genuine, but then you repeated it,

and then, that was weird.

That's because we're setting you up

with our best Anti-Virus Bots.

So, they'll like... They'll just... They're gonna fix me?

Actually, delete you. But yes!

If you get deleted,

you don't have to worry about

what your purpose is or the future

or why you're such a malfunction.

'Cause you're deleted, right?

All right, good talk.

Bots!

No!

Don't let him escape!

Party time! Wait a minute...

The air is better here.

Beer, Tea.

I'm Coffee!

Sorry. Sheesh. So edgy.

My old cube.

Take a hike, Mike.

-My name's not Mike.

-What?

There's AV Bots coming!

For me?

Just because I'm in the wrong section?

Holy deleto!

What do we do?

Quick! This way!

Let's go.

Don't tell anyone you're about to see this.

They'll never find us down here.

Where are we? The basement?

No. Welcome to the Loser Lounge,

where the emojis who never get used hang out.

Go fish, Fish Cake With Swirl.

Sweep so you won't cry. Sweep so you won't cry.

Sweep so you won't cry.

I almost got deleted.

Me, Hi-5.

Hey. What's up, Hi-5?

They weren't trying to delete you. They were trying to delete me.

You? What's so important about you

they'd send out an entire team of Bots?

They say I'm a malfunction.

You bringing malfunctions in here now, Hi-5?

For crying out loud, Abandoned Luggage,

that had better not be my leftover Chinese food.

What Chinese food?

Do you have any idea what it's like

to be living large, hashtag blessed,

the favorite of the favorites, and then demoted to this pit of despair?

Here, will you hit my calluses for me?

At least you're a working emoji.

That's all I ever wanted.

Well, if that's all it'll take

for you to be satisfied, then just find a hacker and get reprogrammed.

It's not that complicated.

Where would I find a hacker?

In the Piracy app. Duh.

Who took my clear nail polish?

Piracy app?

To get there, I mean, I'd have to leave Textopolis.

So? I've done it. Would you be a brother?

One of the Princess emojis left the phone altogether.

Now she lives on the cloud.

That is good.

I'm sure the hacker that helped her do that could easily reprogram you.

The name's Jailbreak.

Jailbreak?

That's great! Reprogrammed.

I just need to be reprogrammed,

and then, I can finally be the Meh I was meh to be.

Help me find that hacker, Hi-5. Will you? Please?

Maybe this hacker could help you, too.

Like rewrite some code, get you into the favorites section.

Wait a minute.

I've been trying to use my charisma

and sense of entitlement to get me back on top,

but all I need is a hacker.

Today's your lucky day. Let's roll.

Hey, can I come, too?

Talk to the hand, Red Wagon.

I thought I was.

Bye, Felicia.

Ciao, Fish Cake with Swirl.

Daddy's heading back to the VIPs where he belongs!

Wait. What about the Bots?

Good point. Good point.

Ouch!

Hey.

I shouldn't have picked the cactus.

I just... I shouldn't have picked it.

You didn't even try to get the tree.

It's baffling. Let's go.

Hi-5?

Hello?

Hi-5?

Where are you?

I'm right here!

Gene!

Here we are, end of the text app.

No way.

Come on, Gene. It's perfectly safe.

Gene, help me!

The wallpaper monster's got me!

No! Hold on, hold on!

Hi-5!

No. This is all my fault! I'm so sorry, Hi-5! I'm...

I'm just messing with you.

It's one of those rubber finger-monster puppets

from the '80s. I collected the whole set.

All right, you coming?

What do I do?

What do you mean?

Just take a step through the other side.

This is it.

The next time I come back here,

I'll be a real Meh.

Hi-5?

No!

Are you finished?

Where are we?

Welcome to the Wallpaper.

This place is incredible.

Each app is its own unique world.

That's my face. You're on my... Thank you.

What is this place?

WeChat.

It's like a whole other world.

It is.

What are they?

They're Bubble Pups. They might be cute, but, man, are they clingy.

Whee!

They're stickers, Gene.

Try to get with the program.

This is so cool.

Wait. What's in that one?

-Guys, look at this picture.
