The Emoji Movie Page #3

Synopsis: The Emoji Movie unlocks the never-before-seen secret world inside your smartphone. Hidden within the messaging app is Textopolis, a bustling city where all your favorite emojis live, hoping to be selected by the phone's user. In this world, each emoji has only one facial expression - except for Gene, an exuberant emoji who was born without a filter and is bursting with multiple expressions. Determined to become "normal" like the other emojis, Gene enlists the help of his handy best friend Hi-5 and the notorious code breaker emoji Jailbreak. Together, they embark on an epic "app-venture" through the apps on the phone, each its own wild and fun world, to find the Code that will fix Gene. But when a greater danger threatens the phone, the fate of all emojis depends on these three unlikely friends who must save their world before it's deleted forever.

-Look at my baby.

This is what I ate for breakfast.

-This is what I ate for lunch!

-Here's me on a hike!

Here's me in the gym! Here's me in the bathroom!

Everybody's talking about themselves.

How does he know so many people?

None of these people know him, but they like him,

and that's what matters in this life, popularity.

I...

I think I'd...

I think I'd rather just have a real friend.

A real friend? How's that gonna get you anywhere?

What you need are fans.

They give you complete and unrelenting support.

As long as you're on top.

Poor Gene. I blame myself.

I blame you, too.

I just wanted to be supportive.

You just wanted a vacation.

You take that back, Mel Meh.

Bots.

If they haven't found Gene by now, he must have skipped town.

You mean the Wallpaper?

Our boy's on the run.

How about we find him ourselves?

Yeah, for sure.

Tell all Bots to follow those Mehs.

I'm sure they'll know all the

freaky-deaky apps Gene will hide out in.

I'm really good at making plans, you guys.

Right?

Here we are. The Piracy app.

This is where we'll find Jailbreak.

Um... But this is the Dictionary.

That's just what Alex wants his parents to think.

This is called a skin.

Really? What could a teenage boy

possibly want to hide from his parents?

Just try to keep up. This place can get a little rough.

Ahoy, mateys.

Look who's back!

Hi-5!

I'm a bit of a celebrity here. Always welcome.!

Loser!

Come on. Follow me.

Great. Emojis.

I thought the conversation just got dumber.

Internet trolls. Just ignore them.

Eventually, they'll get a job or a girlfriend

or some sort of purpose in life, and they'll stop.

Virus. We'll just... We'll just walk over this way.

Hi! It's so great to see you again.

Do I know you?

It's Spam. Just sign here and I can get you special discounts on vitamins

and credit card offers that can save you up to 25%.

No, no, no, don't get sucked in.

Back off, Spam!

It's the only way to deal... Back off!

Thank you very much!

You can illegally download our CD right here.

Hey, Trojan Horse. How are you?

Yeah, what'll it be, hand?

I'll have a bottle of "Hack Daniel's."

Maybe with a plate of cheese and hackers?

You trying to find a hacker?

You can just ask, you know.

Sorry. Um, yes.

We're looking for a hacker named Jailbreak.

I know a guy that can hook you up.

Right over there.

He looks capable.

No, not him. Her.

Wait. He's a she?

Hey, Jailbreak.

Mind if we join you?

Yes.

That's the thing about the Internet, isn't it?

You can never tell if someone's being ironic or sincere.

I sincerely, unironically want you to go away.

That's a good one.

So, here's the thing. My friend Gene here has a little problem.

Well, see, I'm supposed to be a Meh,

but I don't really feel...

Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

No, that's good. And we thought

you could help, since you got the Princess,

you know, off the phone.

Not interested.

Hold up. That's not a Meh face.

Bots! They're after me!

How are you doing that?

Look, it's just something I can do. Can you help us?

Follow me.

Bots! Delete my history!

I corrupted the entire hard drive.

I made the most delicious cinnamon buns.

Maybe if there was something to, you know, jog my memory.

Come on! Move!

Hey, Trolls, why is that mailbox wearing a tuxedo?

Hi! It's so great to see you again! Call me!

This tunnel will get us out of here.

Move!

Did that cloud taste sweet to you?!

Help me! Help! I'm stuck!

Sweet motherboard!

Where am I?

Get me out of here.

Hey, Palm Face.

Try getting him out the top!

Already on it!

Hold tight, Gene.

This feels very odd, and it smells.

I mean, it smells good, it smells delicious, but I still don't like it.

The game obviously thinks you're a candy,

even though you're weirdly misshapen, you know?

What are we gonna do?

Stay very still.

Don't worry. We've got your back. Right, Hi-5?

Hey, Fingers! You want to focus?

For your information, I happen to have a sugar addiction,

and it's a very serious...

Listen, Finger Head!

We have to get Gene out of the game without blowing him up.

I don't want to blow up.

We have to match up the candies,

so that Gene will drop to the bottom.

And we can't match him with any yellows, or else...

Don't do that. Please don't do that.

Watch.

Match three in a row.

Don't blow Gene up. Got it.

And we have to be very careful.

-Yeah, yeah, yeah. Careful.

-Candy!

Watch it!

Hey!

No! No, no, no! Slow down.

Not the yellows! Not the yellows.

I said careful!

My mom just joined Facebook. Can you believe she wanted to friend me?

Hey, Addie, I was just wondering if you are...

Tasty.

What?

Um... Excuse me?

Sweet.

Hey, Addie!

Hi, Nikki.

See you later, Alex.

Sugar Crush.

So over this.

Wireless Wireless. How may I help you?

I'd like to make an appointment.

It's like this phone is playing games with me.

Hey, what does this do?

No!

Get me out of here!

No! Stop it! Stop, stop!

It's not working.

Well, there's one option left.

We line you up with the yellows.

But you said not to do that.

Special candies get transported to that jar.

The game might think you're a special candy.

And what if it doesn't think I'm a special candy?

Well...

Jailbreak, hello? Hello, Jailbreak?

Sorry.

What if it doesn't think I'm a special candy?

I'm not too worried about it.

Okay, just do it.

Gene!

Gene?

Hey. No!

Gene! You're alive!

You were trying to see if I had somehow

turned into candy, weren't you?

Yes, I was. And you have not.

Hey. Looks like something popped up on Alex's calendar.

I'm sure it's nothing.

Alex made an appointment at the phone store.

No!

Calm down, everyone!

Calm down.

Don't worry. Everything is fine.

Maybe Alex just wants to buy some accessories.

His appointment is with technical support.

Well, I'm sure we still have plenty of time to figure this out.

His appointment is for tomorrow.

Then maybe it's just for some routine maintenance.

Actually, it's to erase the phone.

Listen, Gene, I'm about to become your knight in shining armor.

You are?

Yeah.

But first, we need to get uploaded to the cloud.

That's where we'll find the source code to reprogram you.

The cloud?

Isn't that off the phone?

Ding, ding, ding, ding. You got it.

Yeah, the cloud. Off the phone.

We're in Candy Crush, obvs.

I know a shortcut to Just Dance,

which is right next to Dropbox,

where we can get uploaded to the cloud.

Of course. Just Dance, then boogie over to Dropbox,

catch the link, and zoom.

Hold up. Here's the stinker.

Before they let us into the cloud,

we have to get past this firewall.

The firewall uses face identification.

Yeah, the firewall.

Which is really annoying, because I've already tried to get through.

Guessed wrong once, and now I'm locked out for life.

Locked out for life?

You're thinking, 'cause I can make different faces,

the firewall will think I'm different emojis.

Yeah.

I wanted to say it 'cause it was my idea.

You know, women are always coming up with stuff
