The Lego Movie Page #4

...or are you gonna be stuck...

...having a tea party

with your mom and dad?

Son?

Sorry, Dad.

I have ajob to do.

All you have to do is blend in

and act like you belong here.

Ah, perfect.

Well, hi there, I'm a cowboy!

Bang, bang, bang-bang-bang-bang!

Shoot, shoot, shoot. Bullet, bullet, gun.

Zap, zap, zap, pow. Zap, pow.

What are they looking at?

I made a mistake.

You should just be still. Act like a stool.

- Wait!

- Howdy, guys!

- Quiet. Nope, stools don't talk.

- Come sit on me.

Okay, shh.

Let me show you how it's done.

What a lady!

Okay, let me just find the wizard...

...and get this over with.

- Ooh!

- There he is.

- Vitruvius.

- Who?

I've never heard of that man,

whom I am not.

- Who are you?

- It's me.

I am a blind man and cannot see.

- It's Wyldstyle.

- Oof.

Are you a DJ?

- What? Why does everybody...?

- Oh, wait, wait.

Are you the student I used to have...

...who was so insecure

she kept changing her name?

No, no, no.

- First Darkstorm, then Geminizzle.

- No. Never.

Then Neversmile, then Freakface,

then Snazzypants.

Okay. All right, yes.

Meet me upstairs in 10 seconds.

Oh, man.

You have a very weirdly...

...decorated place.

- Thank you.

Vitruvius, we have found

the Piece of Resistance.

- Is it true?

Yes, but...

Wyldstyle. The prophecy states that...

...you are The Special.

The embodiment of good,

foiler of evil.

The most talented, most brilliant...

...most important person in the universe.

That would be great...

...but Emmet is the one...

...who found the Piece.

Oh, okay. Emmet!

The prophecy states that...

...you are The Special.

- The most talented...

- I'm not sure he's The Special.

Because he's not even

a MasterBuilder. Watch.

Emmet, just given what's around you...

...build something simple.

- Okay.

Like an awesome race car.

- Great.

Go.

- Do you have the instructions?

No. You must create the instructions

in your mind, my liege.

Ah. Okay. Race car.

Um...

Well, there's a lot of really cool stuff here.

Don't see a wheel...

...or...

...three more wheels.

See? He can't do it.

He will never be a MasterBuilder.

Of course not.

Not if you keep telling him he can't.

He needs to see that he can.

What are you doing?

We are entering your mind...

- What?

...to prove that you have

the unlocked potential...

...to be a MasterBuilder.

Ujjayi breath.

Whoa, are we inside my brain right now?

- It's big. I must be smart.

Mm-hm.

I'm not hearing a lot of activity here.

I don't think he's ever had

an original thought. In his life.

Ha, ha. That's not true.

For instance, one time I wanted to have...

...a bunch of my friends over to watch TV...

Not unlike this TV

that just showed up magically.

And not everybody

can fit on my one couch...

...and I thought to myself:

"What if there was such a thing

as a bunk bed...

...but as a couch?"

Introducing the double-decker couch.

So everyone could watch TV together

and be buddies!

That is literally the dumbest thing

I've ever heard.

Please, Wyldstyle, let me handle this.

That idea is just the worst.

There must be something around here...

...that proves his potential.

If The Man Upstairs

chose him to be The Special...

...there must be a reason.

Who's The Man Upstairs?

- See?

He doesn't even know about

The Man Upstairs.

Does he have, like, super-gross hands...

...that look like they're made

out of big pink sausages?

Like eagle talons mixed with squid?

Wait. You've seen the...?

Whoa!

That's what I was just thinking about.

How did you...?

I had this weird dream

when I touched the Piece.

Well, I mean, I wasn't asleep,

so it wasn't really a dream.

Emmet, you had a vision.

I did?

MasterBuilders spend years...

...training themselves

to clear their minds enough...

...to have even a fleeting glimpse

of The Man Upstairs...

...and yet, your mind is already

so prodigiously empty...

...that there is nothing in it

to clear away in the first place.

With proper training...

...you could become a great MasterBuilder.

I could?

The prophecy chose you, Emmet.

But I can't do any of the stuff...

...that the prophecy

says I'm supposed to do.

All you have to do is to believe.

Then...

...you will see everything.

Are you ready, my son?

Yes, I am.

I think.

Then we haven't a moment to lose.

We must assemble...

...the MasterBuilders.

Do you think Zeppelins

are a bad investment?

Any of you fellas seen this guy?

Wait a minute, partner.

Draw a cowboy hat on him.

These mechanical birds

will get our message out.

They will go to an Internet caf...

...and e-mail the remaining MasterBuilders...

...who will meet us in the secret realm

of Cloud Cuckooland.

Cuckooland? Wait.

What happened to that whole training part?

Don't worry, Emmet.

Your training begins now.

Piano man...

...open up.

Your training begins later!

On three.

One...

- Whew. I think we're in the clear.

Freeze, turkeys.

All I want is the Piece of Resistance.

We would rather he died than give it to you.

I would not rather he died.

Look, everybody, we can do this

the easy way, or we can do it...

Go, run!

They took the hard way. Fire!

Fire!

Vitruvius, which way to Cloud Cuckooland?

Head for the big bright thing in the sky.

You mean the sun?

Yeah. Yeah, that's it.

Let's get out of here. Here, use this.

What? Wait, hey...

- What are you doing? Aah!

Let's go!

I don't know what I'm doing.

Goodbye.

Boom!

Oh, dang!

Aah! I've got pigs! I hate pigs!

Quit playing around in the mud.

I could use your help.

Wyldstyle, we could really use...

...your help!

Oink, oink, oink.

Oink!

Vitruvius, they're

gaining on us. Build something!

Let Emmet try!

No, let's not let Emmet try!

I haven't had any training.

That's okay.

We'll start with

how to become a MasterBuilder.

Step one:
Trust your instincts.

Okay, okay. Um...

Build something! Build something!

Aha. Take that!

Unless your instincts are terrible.

No! The wheel!

I can't control it much longer!

Emmet, we need to attach the wheel

to something that spins around.

Um...

We need to attach the wheel

to something that spins around.

We need to attach the wheel

to something that spins around.

We need to attach the wheel

to something that spins around.

Something that spins around.

Spins around. Spins around.

Oh.

Emmet, where are you going?

Oh, this better work.

Hang tight!

Dagnabit!

Well done, Emmet.

Hey! I did it.

Wow. You actually did it.

Train!

Oh, no.

Get off my train.

Run!

Wyldstyle!

Owie!

He's gonna ram us.

Quick, quick, quick! That piece!

Give me that piece.

Huh?

Build a ramp!

What the heck?

Rest in pieces.

- Uh...

- Oh, no.

Wait. No, no, no.

Hey.

Thanks for saving my life back there.

Even if, you know...
