Wreck-It Ralph Page #13

A string of ones and zeros gathers around his neck, then

solidifies into The Medal of Heroes.

KING CANDY (CONT’D)

Success.

WRECK-IT RALPH

He floats back towards the door. On his way he passes by a

box that is off alone, with no threads attached. It glitches.

Its label says:
“VANELLOPE VON SCHWEETZ.”

KING CANDY (O.S.) (CONT’D)

Sour Bill, I’m going out. You’re in

charge of the castle until I get

back.

CUT TO:

INT./EXT. SPACE POD

The cy-bug sensor is locked on the dash, scanning. There are

no bugs detected.

Calhoun pilots. Felix stares at her, blushing--

unapologetically smitten.

CALHOUN:

Your face is still red, you might

want to hit it with your hammer.

FELIX:

Oh that’s not blunt force trauma,

ma’am. That’s just the honey glow

in my cheeks.

CALHOUN:

Oh.

FELIX:

Ma’am, I just gotta tell

you...You’re one dynamite gal.

Calhoun reacts.

FLASHBACK:
Calhoun at the gun range, letting out a round.

BRAD in the cubicle next to her, turns, impressed.

BRAD:

Wow, you are one dynamite gal.

FLASHBACK:
Calhoun and Brad, sharing a Sunday.

BRAD (CONT’D)

One dynamite gal.

FLASHBACK:
Calhoun and Brad having a flowery picnic.

BRAD (CONT’D)

Dynamite gal.

WRECK-IT RALPH

FLASHBACK:
Brad on one knee proposing.

BRAD (CONT’D)

Dynamite gal.

FLASHBACK:
Calhoun and Brad’s wedding.

BRAD (CONT’D)

Dynamite gal.

The glass shatters as the bug bursts in.

SLAM CUT TO:

INT. SHIP — DAY, BACK TO PRESENT

Calhoun snaps back to reality, upset, almost livid. She banks

the ship hard to the right. Felix goes tumbling.

She lands the ship in the woods by the castle.

CALHOUN:

Get out!

FELIX:

All I said is you’re a dynamite

gal!

CALHOUN:

I said GET OUT!

He climbs out. Turns to say something else, but the glass

comes down immediately and the ship lifts off.

FELIX:

(distraught)

Jimminy jamminy...

He lumbers off towards the castle.

CUT TO:

EXT. KING CANDY’S CASTLE DOOR — SHORT TIME LATER

Felix knocks on the castle door. Sour Bill opens the door.

SOUR BILL:

Mmmmyes?

WRECK-IT RALPH

FELIX:

I’m Fix-it Felix, Jr, sir, from the

game Fix-it Felix Jr. Have you seen

my friend, Ralph?

SOUR BILL:

Wreck-it Ralph?

FELIX:

Yes, yes, that’s him.

SOUR BILL:

Shoulda locked him up when we had

the chance.

FELIX:

Locked him up?

Sour Bill grabs a handle and pulls. A trap door opens and

Felix falls in.

SOUR BILL:

Not making the same mistake with

you.

FELIX:

(falling)

Oh my land!

CUT TO:

EXT. DIET SODA MOUNTAIN

Vanellope comes running out of the secret door. Ralph pushes

the kart out behind her.

VANELLOPE:

Come on Ralph! This is it. This is

really happening. I almost don’t

believe it. I mean, I have dreamt

about it for so long, and now...now

I think I’m gonna puke, actually. I

mean I think I might puke. You

know, like a verp?

RALPH:

A what?

VANELLOPE:

Vomit and a burp together, and you

can taste it, and it’s just like

rising up.... Oh this is so

exciting!

WRECK-IT RALPH

RALPH:

Yes! It is. It’s exciting!

VANELLOPE:

I mean, am I ready to be a real

racer? Ralph, what if the gamers

don’t like me?!

RALPH:

Who doesn’t love a brat with dirty

hair? Come on, those people are

gonna love you. You know why?

Because you’re a winner.

VANELLOPE:

I’m a winner.

RALPH:

And you’re adorable.

VANELLOPE:

I’m adorable.

RALPH:

And everyone loves an adorable

winner!

VANELLOPE:

Yeah!

RALPH:

Okay. Come on.

She laughs and hops in her kart. Ralph climbs on the back.

RALPH (CONT’D)

Listen to me:
if you get nervous,

just keep telling yourself: “I must

win Ralph’s medal or his life will

be ruined.” And have fun. Got it?

VANELLOPE:

Got it.

Vanellope starts driving away, then slams on the brakes.

VANELLOPE (CONT’D)

Wait. Hold on!

Ralph FALLS forward. She puts it in reverse, then stops

short. He FALLS off the back.

RALPH:

Where are you going?

WRECK-IT RALPH

VANELLOPE:

I forgot something. I’ll be right

back.

Vanellope runs back into the mountain. Ralph watches after

her.

RALPH:

Huh. kids...!

He sighs, content. We hear the sound of a kart engine.

KING CANDY (O.S.)

Ralph, there you are! Hello!

Ralph turns to see King Candy getting out of his kart.

RALPH:

You!

KING CANDY:

Now, I came alone. Unarmed. Whoa-

He ducks as a boulder flies past his head.

RALPH:

I’ve had enough of you, Pillow

Pants.

Ralph chases King Candy around a giant gum drop.

KING CANDY:

Now, calm down! Calm down!

RALPH:

I’m gonna beat the filling out of

you!

KING CANDY:

(putting on giant glasses)

You wouldn’t hit a guy with

glasses, would you?

Ralph grabs the glasses off of his face and knocks King Candy

on the head with them.

KING CANDY (CONT’D)

Oh you hit a guy WITH glasses, well

played.

Ralph grabs him by the lapels.

RALPH:

What do you want, Candy?

WRECK-IT RALPH

KING CANDY:

For you to close your mouth. Your

breath... Listen, I just want to

talk to you.

RALPH:

I’m not interested in anything you

have to say.

KING CANDY:

How about this? Are you interested

in this?

King Candy holds up the Medal of Heroes. Shocked to see it,

Ralph drops King Candy.

RALPH:

My medal. How did you-

KING CANDY:

It doesn’t matter. It’s yours....

Go ahead. Take it.

Ralph takes the medal.

KING CANDY (CONT’D)

All I ask is that you hear me out.

Ralph stares at the medal as he considers.

RALPH:

...About what?

KING CANDY:

Ralph, do you know what the hardest

part about being a King is? Doing

what’s right, no matter what.

RALPH:

Get to the point.

KING CANDY:

Point being, I need your help. Sad

as it is, Vanellope cannot be

allowed to race.

RALPH:

Why are you people so against her?

KING CANDY:

I’m not against her. I’m trying to

protect her.

WRECK-IT RALPH

KING CANDY (CONT’D)

If Vanellope wins that race, she’ll

be added to the Race Roster.

We close in on King Candy’s eye and into his mind, where we

see Vanellope pop up as one of the nine daily avatars.

A gamer selects Vanellope.

KING CANDY (V.O.)

Then gamers can choose her as their

avatar. And when they see her

glitching and twitching and just

being herself...

FLASH FORWARD:
Vanellope glitching all over the track.

KING CANDY (V.O.)(CONT’D)

...they’ll think our game is

broken. We’ll be put out of order,

for good.

FLASH FORWARD:
The Out-of-Order gets slapped onto the Sugar

Rush console.

King Candy’s subjects rush into Game Central.

KING CANDY(V.O.)(CONT’D)

All my subjects will be homeless.

But there’s one who cannot escape,

because she’s a glitch.

FLASH FORWARD:
A scared Vanellope is sucked into the vortex

of un-plugged oblivion.

VANELLOPE:

Help! Somebody help!

KING CANDY (V.O)

And when the game’s plug is pulled,

she’ll die with it.

We pull out of the FLASH FORWARD through Ralph’s eyes. He’s

horrified by the thought.
