The Emoji Movie Page #4

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.

that men are taking credit for.

You know what...

Well, then let's hit the road.

Hi-5, you coming?

I'm coming!

Why do I always think I'm gonna come around on black licorice?

My precious.

Hey! Move it!

Certain death, here we come.

Let's try this one.

YouTube?

What a visual treat.

And I don't even need a remote.

That guy is so expressive.

He reminds me of Gene.

Yeah. Something really wrong with him.

Our son is a malfunction,

and you should never have let him go into that cube.

Don't blame me for this, Mel.

I am hopping mad at you.

See?

Mary, I think we're being followed.

But don't overreact.

I told you not to overreact.

What are you doing now?

They'll be in there for hours.

Mary, where are you going?

I think we should go our separate ways, Mel.

I thought I knew the Meh that I married,

but maybe I don't.

But, Mary...

This tunnel will help us avoid the Bots.

Thanks for helping us. It's really nice of you.

NBD, dude. The truth is, you're helping me.

Come on, let's move it. Why so slow?

Hi-5, stop. Why are you getting so close? What's with you? Back off.

Can't stop now. I'm having a sugar rush!

I'll go around you. If I stop moving, my heart's gonna explode!

Coming through, Jailbreak! Look out!

Hey! Watch it, Knuckle Butt!

I can't feel my face.

So, Jailbreak, back there you said I'm helping you.

I've been trying to get past that firewall for months.

Come on, come on!

The faster we get there, the faster I become a favorite!

Look at me!

I just want to bounce out of here,

get off the phone, and live on the cloud.

What just happened?

You don't like it here?

There's so many rules here. What is up with that?

The cloud is supposed to be amazing.

There's so much to see and do.

Sugar crash.

I can't hold on anymore.

Catch me, Gene. Catch me!

And you can be whoever you want.

Thanks.

You're free! Come on!

My gosh, my hands are sweating.

You are a hand!

Yeah!

You know, come to think of it, I don't really remember

there ever being a hacker emoji.

Um, you know, you're taking up too much of my brain space.

Let's keep the chitchat to a minimum.

Someone likes you.

What are you talking about?

This is just like when Peace Sign gave me just one finger.

I knew she was in love with me.

Let's go!

I'm never eating another piece of candy ever again.

Hi-5, don't do it.

Don't you do it. It's already been in there once.

Don't do it.

Are my fingers getting fat?

I'll tell you what, this bandage wasn't so tight before.

Okay. We get through this app, and Dropbox is right on the other side.

We just need to keep it super DL in here.

And no matter what, we can't turn it on.

OMG, this turned it on!

What? I'm a hand. It's a big, red button.

What's happening?

No, no, no, no, no!

Welcome to Just Dance!

Follow my moves and you get to move forward.

Do the wrong moves and you get an "X."

Three strikes and you're out.

Out? What does she mean by "Out"?

Digital death.

Thanks to you, Fingers. Now we're gonna have to dance our way out.

Which is all right with me, 'cause I can shake it like Michael.

Or Michael's glove, anyway.

Are you ready to dance?

This is bad, Gene. I can't dance. I got no groove.

Come on. Everybody can dance.

Not me, okay? I'm really stiff.

See? I can't... Don't understand.

Okay. No, no...

Stop, stop. She has to stop.

I see now what you are saying. Just follow her moves.

Ready to dance in three...

This I can't do.

Two...

Dude...

Just shut up and...

Dance!

It's too easy! Hee-hee! Shamone!

Jailbreak!

I got you.

Look. Just feel the music.

Express yourself.

Through dance?

Yeah, you got it! Go, girl!

Now throw some sauce on that dance burrito.

I'm doing it!

I'm fully nailing this dance!

You got it!

Great job! You're moving on to free dance!

Impress us with your moves to move forward.

More dancing?

You're killing it, Gene! Slay!

Nice! Shake it, Gene. You won't break it.

Wait a minute!

I've never seen that dance before.

What's it called?

Um... The Emoji Pop?

I love it!

What? You do?

Everybody, do the Emoji Pop!

Hoo!

Yes!

Princess.

You're the Princess emoji?

You never got off the phone.

Welcome, new players!

What?

Who?

No!

We got to go.

Don't worry.

They're robots. They can't dance.

Downloading funk protocol.

"Can't dance," he says.

Move!

Congratulations. You're a disco diva.

Hey, Alex, you gonna dance for us?

Alex, that's extra homework for you.

Hey, Alex, you gonna shake it?

No! No, no, no, no, no, no!

Alex must be deleting the app.

Watch out!

We got to get out of here.

Come on!

This song is my jam.

Hi-5, come on! Let's go!

Hurry!

Hi-5!

Gene!

I got you!

Gene...

Hi-5!

Gene.

Hey, wait. Where's Hi-5?

Alex trashed the app.

And Hi-5 right along with it.

Wait, what? Wait, trashed?

Hi-5 is in the trash?

He wanted to dance.

But I knew it was a bad idea.

We got to get him out of there.

Gene, Dropbox is right here. That's our ticket to the cloud.

And the trash is on the other side of the phone.

We don't know how many other Bots are out there.

I'm sorry.

No way. We can't go without Hi-5.

I don't care how far away it is.

That's my friend down there.

I'm not just gonna leave him to get deleted.

What? What is it?

I've always just thought you got to look out for number one.

Well, what good is it to be number one

if there aren't any other numbers?

Okay.

I'm sorry. This is my malfunction.

I just... I can't be meh about anything.

This is why I'm going to get reprogrammed.

Well, it's actually kind of cool.

Wait, really?

You know, I think I know a shortcut.

We can take the music streams in Spotify.

Let's go give that big hand a hand.

Come on.

Alex trashed the Just Dance app, and our Bots are offline,

and it's giving me a real headache.

I am so angry.

I really need to stay happy.

Can we please lighten the mood?

No one can resist una fiesta!

Not that happy.

We've only got four hours before Alex's phone appointment.

If they find a malfunction on the phone, we are all gonna be wiped.

Yeah.

She said, "Wiped."

Aim higher, Steven.

I didn't want to have to do this,

but it is fun to press buttons.

The illegal upgrade.

Now that makes me happy.

I just want to dance.

Dance, please.

Arr! Quiet, you sassy gypsy.

Where am I?

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

You're in the trash, Fingers for Brains.

Get away from me, Troll.

Hi!

It's so great to see you again!

I got to get out of here.

You can't.

And at the end of the day,

the trash gets emptied, and we're all gonna die!

No. No, no!

This is the last face you will ever see.

No!

This is Spotify?

Yep.

Every one of those streams is a different song.

Is it safe?

Yeah!

Are you sure this is a good idea?

Fastest way to the trash, dude!

Could we at least pick a calmer stream?

Okay, buzzkill.

Alex. A bunch of people are hitting the promenade.

I think Addie might be there, too.

That's perfect!

I have an appointment down there, anyway.

I've got to get this phone fixed.
