Wreck-It Ralph
FADE IN:
“INSERT COIN” blinks on the menu screen of FIX-IT FELIX, JR.
We hear a coin being deposited.
EXT. NICELAND - DAY
WRECK-IT RALPH is asleep inside his stump. A voice-over kicks
in, sounding more like a confessional than a traditional V.O.
RALPH (V.O.)
My name’s Ralph, and I’m a Bad Guy.
I’m 9 feet tall. I weigh 643
pounds. Got a little bit of a
temper on me. You know, my passions
bubble very near the surface, not
gonna lie.
A bulldozer removes Ralph and the stump. Ralph’s head pops
out of the stump.
RALPH (ON-SCREEN)
Hey, you moved my stump!
ARRRGGHHHHHH!
Ralph throws a bit of a tantrum.
The NICELAND APARTMENTS are constructed where the stump was.
RALPH (V.O.) (CONT’D)
Anyhoo, what else? I’m a wrecker. I
wreck -- professionally.
Ralph appears on screen in front of the Niceland Apartments.
RALPH (ON-SCREEN) (CONT’D)
Ralph wrecks the building. He throws a Nicelander.
RALPH (V.O.) (CONT’D)
I’m very good at what I do.
Probably the best I know.
NICELANDERS:
FIX IT FELIX!!!
RALPH (V.O.)
Thing is, fixing is the name of the
game. Literally, figuratively,
meta... physically...
FIX-IT FELIX arrives and starts fixing.
WRECK-IT RALPH
FELIX:
RALPH (V.O.) (CONT’D)
So yeah, naturally the guy with the
name Fix-it Felix is the good guy.
He’s nice enough as good guys go.
Definitely fixes stuff really well.
But if you’ve got a magic hammer
from your father, how hard can it
be...?
MARY:
YOO-HOO!
MARY pops up in a window with a pie. Felix eats the pie, and
a protective hard-hat appears on his head.
RALPH:
I guarantee you if he had a
standard issue hammer like the kind
you’d get at the hardware store--
he would not be able to fix the
things I wreck as quickly.
The damage is repaired. The screen reads “YOU FIXED IT!”
RALPH (V.O.)
When Felix does a good job, he gets
a medal.
A Nicelander places a little medal around Felix’s neck and
gives him a peck on the cheek.
RALPH (V.O.)
Are there medals for the sweet
science of wrecking? To that I say,
“Ha.”
The Nicelanders pick up Ralph and thrown him off the roof.
RALPH:
Ahhhhhhhh!
He lands on the ground in the mud. KER-PLUNK.
RALPH (V.O.) (CONT’D)
... And no, there are not.
We pull back from the game console. We’re in...
The place is bustling.
WRECK-IT RALPH
CHIRON:
“30 YEARS AGO.”RALPH (V.O.) (CONT’D)
It’s not like I’m complaining.
Well, it’s a little like I’m
complaining. But I get it. I been
doing this long enough to know a
steady arcade gig’s nothing to
sneeze at.
TIME LAPSE -- The arcade expands over the years. Games get
wheeled out. New games get wheeled in. Owner LARRY LITWAK
takes real good care of the place through the years.
RALPH (V.O.) (CONT’D)
Seen a lotta games come and go. I
think about all those guys from
Asteroids? Boom! Gone. Centipede?
Who knows where that guy is. No, I
know I’m very lucky.
CHIRON:
“TODAY”RALPH (V.O.) (CONT’D)
It’s just after so many years, it
becomes kind of hard to love your
job when no one seems to like you
for doing it.
The arcade is older now, and all the games are more modern. A
giant first-person shooter game gets wheeled in. The arcade
closes. The “Open” sign shuts off.
The Dance Dance Revolution screen is visible in the
background. On it we see a cycle of the dancer dancing. The
dancer suddenly stops, peeks toward the darkened “Open” sign.
INSET THE GAME:
The dancer relaxes.DANCER:
(calling out)
THAT’S IT! ARCADE’S CLOSED!
She and her back-up dancers limp off, rubbing their
shoulders, limping, stretching after a long day of dancing.
INSET STREET FIGHTER GAME CONSOLE: Two fighters, RYU and KEN
stop beating each other.
RYU:
What a day. Want to head to
Tappers, Ken?
WRECK-IT RALPH
KEN:
If you’re buying, buddy.
They put their arms around each other and walk off screen.
BACK ON THE FIX-IT FELIX CONSOLE: Felix and the Nicelanders
are on the roof.
FELIX:
Quittin’ time!
We push through the game screen...
EXT. NICELAND - DAY
The game is now in hyper-realistic 3-D.
FELIX:
Good job, everyone!
Felix and the Nicelanders exit the roof as we pan down the
building and get a sense of the world.
RALPH (V.O.)
I dunno, maybe I wouldn’t be
feeling this way if things were
different after work. But as it is,
Felix and the Nicelanders go hang
out in their homes-- which he’s
just fixed.
Ralph picks himself up from the mud. He watches sadly as the
Nicelanders ignore him and carry Felix to the penthouse.
RALPH (V.O.)
And I head off to the pile of
garbage in the dump... where I
live. You might call it a lonely
cesspit of despair on the outskirts
of humanity...which would be
accurate. But I call it home.
Ralph climbs up the brick pile he calls home.
RALPH (V.O.)
I guess I can’t bellyache too much;
I got my bricks. I got my stump.
He pummels the bricks into dust and pulls a pile of bricks
over him like a blanket. He stares longingly at the building.
WRECK-IT RALPH
RALPH (V.O.)
It looks uncomfortable, but it’s
actually fine. I’m good.
CLOSE ON:
Ralph, who sighs a very long sigh.RALPH (V.O.)
But... if I’m really honest with
myself, I see Felix up there,
getting pies all the time, acting
like Captain Fancy. And sometimes I
think...
RALPH’S POV:
Through the penthouse windows, he can see Felixbeing ushered over by the Nicelanders to a dinner table full
of delicious, warm entr.es.
CLOSE ON RALPH:
As he speaks out-loud.RALPH:
Man, it must be nice being the good
guy.
Applause. Pull back to reveal...
INT. VIDEO GAME (LIKE A CHURCH BASEMENT) - NIGHT
Ralph sits in a room full of VIDEO GAME BAD GUYS. A sign on
the wall reads:
“BadAnon: One Game at a Time.”CLYDE:
Nice share, Ralph. As fellow Bad
Guys, we’ve all felt what you’re
feeling, and we’ve come to terms
with it.
RALPH:
Really?
ZANGIEF:
(thick Russian accent)
Right here. I am Zangief. I am Bad
Guy.
OTHER BAD GUYS:
Hi Zangief.
RALPH:
Hi Zangief.
ZANGIEF:
I relate to you, Ralph. When I hit
bottom, I was crushing man’s skull
(MORE)
WRECK-IT RALPH
ZANGIEF (CONT'D)
like sparrow egg between my thighs.
(smacking his thigh)
And I am wondering, why do you have
to be so bad, Zangief? Why can’t
more like good guy? Then I have
moment of clarity: If Zangief is
good guy, who will crush man’s
skull like sparrow egg between
thighs? And I say, “Zangief, you
are bad guy. But this does not mean
you are bad guy.”
Claps of understanding.
RALPH:
Right. I’m sorry, you lost me
there.
ZOMBIE:
(thick Zombie accent)
Arrhh. Zombie. Bad Guy.
OTHER BAD GUYS:
Hi Zombie.
RALPH:
Hi Zombie.
ZOMBIE:
Zangief saying:
labels not make youhappy -- good, bad...
(Frankenstein growl)
You must love you.
CY-BORG
Yeah! Inside HERE!
Cy-borg rips out Zombie’s heart, shows it to Ralph.
RALPH:
Okay. I gotcha. Watch out; it’s
dripping.
