Wreck-It Ralph Page #12

RALPH:

By yourself, with all this garbage

around you?

VANELLOPE:

Well, yeah. I mean everyone here

says I’m just a mistake, and that I

wasn’t even supposed to exist. What

do you expect?

RALPH:

Listen, kid... I know it’s none of

my business, but why do you even

stick around this game?

VANELLOPE:

You really don’t know anything, do

you? Glitches can’t leave their

games. It’s one of the joys of

being me.

Ralph looks around at her sad life. He gets a thought. He

raises his giant fist and starts pounding the twisted,

nonsense architecture.

VANELLOPE (CONT’D)

Hey! What are you doing?! Come on!

I know it’s a dump, but it’s all I

got!

WRECK-IT RALPH

RALPH:

(still pounding)

If you’re going to be a racer, you

have to learn how to drive, and you

can’t do that without a track.

REVEAL:
He’s made a beginner’s track around the hot springs.

VANELLOPE:

Whoa.

Ralph picks up the kart and puts it on the track.

RALPH:

Alright now, let’s hustle up. We

got some driving to do.

Vanellope runs in a circle around Ralph and the kart,

cheering.

VANELLOPE:

I’m gonna learn to drive! I’m gonna

learn to drive! I’m gonna--Wait. Do

you know how to drive?

RALPH:

Yeah! I mean, I haven’t done it,

but look, I flew a spaceship today,

okay?

VANELLOPE:

You crashed it.

RALPH:

Just get in. How hard can it be?

Okay, uh... start it up.

Vanellope starts it up and revs the engine.

RALPH (CONT'D)

There you go. Okay, now-

VANELLOPE:

There’s so much stuff in here!

RALPH:

Don’t start touching anything yet.

Vanellope touches everything. She turns on the lights.

VANELLOPE:

What’s this?

WRECK-IT RALPH

RALPH:

Them’s the lights.

VANELLOPE:

And what’s this?

She hits the horn, holds.

RALPH:

That’s the horn. Yeah, that’s still

the horn.

VANELLOPE:

I like the horn.

RALPH:

Listen, we got work to do!

VANELLOPE:

Okay!

She stops, focuses on him. He points to the pedals.

RALPH:

So there’s some buttons on the

floor...

VANELLOPE:

Pedals!

RALPH:

Pedals. Right. Now, that’s the Go

pedal. That, I believe is the

stopper. And this.... Wait. What is

this?

(pressing the clutch)

It doesn’t do anything.

He picks up the kart, looks closely at the pedals, and starts

playing with them.

VANELLOPE:

What does this joystick do?

She pushes the gear shift. The kart jumps forward, dragging

Ralph with it. He lands flat on his face.

RALPH:

AAOOWW!

Vanellope stalls. Ralph lifts his head up.

WRECK-IT RALPH

RALPH (CONT’D)

Good. Let’s try that again.

JUMP CUT TO:

RALPH:
standing in front of her.

She zips forward and slams into Ralph.

RALPH (CONT’D)

OUCH!

JUMP CUT TO:

RALPH:
standing behind her.

She grinds the gears, flies in reverse, slams into him. He

cries out. She slams into him again.

JUMP CUT TO:

RALPH:
hiding behind a rock.

Vanellope bucks forward, hits a tree. The tree falls, lands

on Ralph’s head.

JUMP CUT TO:

VANELLOPE:
steering through an obstacle course. CUT to reveal

Ralph is pushing the kart from behind, guiding her around the

rocks.

JUMP CUT TO:

RALPH:
motion-steering as Vanellope watches. She turns the

wheel and slams into a rock. Spitting out a tooth, she gives

a “thumbs up.”

JUMP CUT TO:

VANELLOPE:
driving in first gear. She lifts her foot off the

clutch slowly and moves forward smoothly.

RALPH (CONT’D)

Hey, wait, you’re doing it.

She shifts again.

VANELLOPE:

Oh, I am.

RALPH:

Okay. Shift it again.

WRECK-IT RALPH

She makes it around the track. Shifts perfectly.

VANELLOPE:

Whoa! I told you; racing’s in my

code!

She drives faster...and faster.

RALPH:

Whoa, whoa whoa! Eyes on the wheel!

VANELLOPE:

Hey Ralphie, watch this! I’m going

off road!

She jumps the track then drives right up a steep, natural

ramp. She jumps a part of broken track. Lands perfectly.

She makes another jump. Perfect.

RALPH:

I got that medal in the bag.

She then aims for a giant jump...takes flight and....GLITCH!

Her kart glitches about in the air, out of control. She’s

headed right for the stalactite. She SCREAMS!

RALPH (CONT’D)

Look out!

She ducks, but her spoiler hits the Mentos. She glitches

again and crash lands on the track on the other side.

Giant chunks of Mentos fall into the hot springs. Geysers

shoot up. Ralph jumps out of the way of the boiling cola

falling around him.

Vanellope keeps spins out of control. She skids to a stop.

She looks spooked, but then she shakes it off.

VANELLOPE:

So, how’d I do?

RALPH:

Um... well, you almost blew up the

whole mountain.

VANELLOPE:

Right, right, that’s a good note.

RALPH:

You’ve got to get that glitch under

control, kid!

WRECK-IT RALPH

VANELLOPE:

Okay, I will, I will! And then you

think I got a chance?

He contemplates.

RALPH:

...Tiny.

She jumps up and around Ralph shouting-

VANELLOPE:

Yes! I’m gonna win! I’m gonna win!

I’m gonna win! I’m gonna win!

RALPH:

(giving in to her

enthusiasm)

Top shelf.

VANELLOPE:

Top shelf!

They fist bump.

CUT TO:

INT. KING CANDY’S CASTLE

King Candy paces in front of his kart throne. Sour Bill

follows, waving him with a fan lollipop.

The castle doors open. Wynnchel and Duncan approach.

KING CANDY:

(urgent)

Did you find her? Tell me you found

her.

The donut cops shake their heads, no, solemnly.

KING CANDY (CONT’D)

You didn’t? Go... leave me.

The donuts leave.

King Candy thinks, gets an idea, then storms off through the

door by his throne. Sour Bill hurries after him.

WRECK-IT RALPH

INT. “UNDERGROUND” CHAMBER

An elevator door opens and King Candy and Sour Bill step out

and walk along what looks like the insides of a wire.

King Candy approaches a large door, upon which rests a game

controller. He types in a cheat code. The door swings open.

King candy steps through it.

INT. THE GAME’S CODE

For the code savvy, it’s clearly a node graph. To the rest of

us it looks like an electric spider web of glowing threads

connecting an endless number of vault-like boxes.

KING CANDY:

Oh the code, the sweet life blood

of the game.

The boxes are labelled with icons and text, saying everything

from:
“GOBSTOPPER VALLEY” and “CHOCOLATE RIVER” to “TAFFYTA

MUTTONFUDGE” and “SOUR BILL.”

The physics are different here, and so King Candy floats as

if in zero gravity. He drifts amongst the web, cautiously.

KING CANDY (CONT’D)

Where are you? Let’s see....

Stadium.... Jumbotron. There it is

the “Winner’s Cup.”

He double-clicks the box labeled “WINNER’S CUP.” The box

opens. Inside floats a bunch of smaller boxes labeled “Coin,”

interconnected with threads. Amongst the boxes, one stands

out. Its label says, “MEDAL.”

KING CANDY (CONT’D)

One of these things is not like the

others. You! We’re going to give

you a nice new home.

King Candy slides the Medal box out of the Winner’s Box and

along the network of threads. He arrives in front of a very

special box, connected with the most number of threads. It’s

labeled, “KING CANDY.” He double clicks it. It opens and he

slides the “Medal” box inside.
