CLYDE:

Question Ralph:
we’ve been asking

you to BadAnon for years now, and

tonight you finally show up. Why is

that?

RALPH:

I don’t know, I just felt like

coming.... I suppose it has

something to do with the fact that,

WRECK-IT RALPH

RALPH (CONT'D)

well, today is 30th Anniversary of

my game.

SATAN:

Happy Anniversary, Ralph.

RALPH:

Thanks, Satan.

SATAN:

It’s sai-tine, actually.

RALPH:

Got it. But here’s the thing...

(exhales, then)

I don’t want to be the bad guy

anymore.

GASPS. Bowser spits out his coffee and thus fire.

CY-BORG

You can’t mess with the program,

Ralph.

M. BISON

(miming “crazy”)

You’re not going Turbo, are you?

RALPH:

Turbo? No, I’m not going Turbo.

Come on guys. Is it Turbo to want a

friend, or a medal, or a piece of

pie every once in a while? Is it

turbo to want more out of life?

ZOMBIE:

Yeeeeesssss.

CLYDE:

Ralph, Ralph, we get it. But we

can’t change who we are, and the

sooner you accept that the better

off your game and your life will

be.

ZANGIEF:

Hey, one game at a time, Ralph.

CLYDE:

Now let’s close out with the Bad

Guy Affirmation.

They all get up, hold hands.

WRECK-IT RALPH

ALL BAD GUYS:

I’m bad. And that’s good. I will

never be good. And that’s not bad.

There’s no one I’d rather be than

me.

Ralph doesn’t say the Affirmation. His eyes are wide open-- a

non-believer.

The TITLE burns in over Ralph:

WRECK-IT RALPH

CLYDE:

Okay gang, see you next week.

The bad guys break the circle. Satan puts a supportive hand

on Ralph’s back.

SATAN:

Hang in there, Ralph.

CLYDE:

Hey Zombie, don’t forget your

hatchets.

We pull out to see that the meeting was held in the center

room of Pac-Man. Ralph filches two cherries and catches up

with the others.

TUNNEL TO GAME CENTRAL STATION

The bad guys climb onto a train car and shove off down the

tracks. Ralph sits on the back with the cherries.

INT. LITWAK’S FAMILY FUNLAND - NIGHT

We follow the trail of the train through the power cord of

the Pac-Man game to the power strip.

TUNNEL TO GAME CENTRAL STATION

The characters hop off the cart and make their way into...

GAME CENTRAL STATION

...a huge open concourse full of VIDEO GAME CHARACTERS

bustling about.

WRECK-IT RALPH

GRAND CENTRAL ANNOUNCER (V.O.)

Ladies and gentlemen, please do not

leave personal items unattended.

Unattended items will be

confiscated. Report any suspicious

activity to the Surge Protector.

Last call for Tapper wagon,

departing in outlet two. Tapper

wagon, last call. Soul train to

Dance Dance Revolution now boarding

in outlet twelve. All aboard the

Soul Train, outlet twelve.

Ralph passes through the entrance, and a rent-a-cop, SURGE

PROTECTOR, appears out of nowhere. A buzzer sounds.

RALPH:

Ugh.

SURGE PROTECTOR:

Step aside, sir, random security

check.

RALPH:

Random my behind. You always stop

me.

SURGE PROTECTOR:

I’m just a surge protector doing my

job, sir. Name...

RALPH:

Lara Croft.

SURGE PROTECTOR:

Name...

RALPH:

Wreck-it Ralph.

SURGE PROTECTOR:

And where you coming from?

RALPH:

Pac-Man.

SURGE PROTECTOR:

Ya bring any fruit with you?

Ralph hides the cherries behind his back.

RALPH:

Uh... No, no. No fruit.

WRECK-IT RALPH

SURGE PROTECTOR:

Okay then. Where you heading?

RALPH:

Fix-it Felix, Jr.

SURGE PROTECTOR:

Anything to declare?

RALPH:

I hate you.

SURGE PROTECTOR:

I get that a lot. Proceed.

As Ralph walks through the console. People move out of his

way and whisper things like, “Bad Guy.” “Watch out.”

ANGEL KID:

(whispering)

Bad guy coming!

He passes a screen displaying a PSA video narrated by Sonic.

SONIC:

If you leave your game, stay safe.

Stay alert. And whatever you

do...don’t die. Because if you die

outside your own game...you don’t

regenerate. Ever. Game over.

Ralph comes upon a group of homeless characters, Q*Bert

amongst them, who hold a sign: “Out of Order. Please Help!”

Ralph hands Q*Bert a cherry.

RALPH:

Here you go buddy. It’s fresh.

Straight from Pac-Man’s. Hang in

there guys.

He approaches the entrance to the Fix-It Felix portal. The

buzzer sounds and Surge Protector appears.

SURGE PROTECTOR:

Name?

RALPH:

Argh!

CUT TO:

WRECK-IT RALPH

A RAGING PARTY:

In a gorgeous penthouse. Disco lights spin. Nicelanders dance

and drink. SKRILLEX DJs. Felix passes out hors d'oeuvres.

EXT. NICELAND / FIX-IT FELIX

Ralph arrives on the trolley.

CRACK! SIZZLE! Ralph looks up just as “WE LOVE YOU FELIX”

fireworks burst over the Niceland apartments. Huh?

He digs two bottles out of the trash. He uses them as

binoculars, and aims them at the penthouse...

THROUGH BINOCULARS: it’s a rockin’ party.

RALPH:

Happy thirtieth anniversary?

They’re having a party without me?

There are ice sculptures and dancing and a giant buffet

table. Eating his way across the table is PAC-MAN.

RALPH (CONT’D)

Pac-Man! They invited Pac-Man? That

cherry-chasing, dot-muncher isn’t

even part of this game!

He slams the bottles down. They shatter.

CUT TO:

INT. NICELAND PENTHOUSE

Felix struts through the room, happy and proud.

ROY:

Great party, Felix.

FELIX:

Why thank you, friend.

DEANNA:

Felix, you’re needed on the dance

floor.

Deanna drags him onto a colorful dance floor. Felix does his

Fix-it Hammer dance. Everyone follows along.

The door bell RINGS.

WRECK-IT RALPH

FELIX:

I’ll bet that’s Mario, fashionably

late, per the norm.

GENE:

I’ll get it, Felix.

Gene dances to the door and opens it. A smiling Ralph fills

the door frame. Gene GASPS and slams the door.

GENE (CONT’D)

It’s Ralph!

MURMURS of shock and confusion.

NORWOOD:

He’ll wreck the party.

DEANNA:

Hide the stemware.

ROY:

Get rid of him, Felix.

FELIX:

Oh, right. I’ll go talk to him.

Carry on everyone.

Felix pulls out his hammer and heads out.

INT. PENTHOUSE HALLWAY

Ralph still stands at the door. Felix slips out.

FELIX:

Ralph? Can I help you?

RALPH:

Hey Felix, I just wanted to check

on you. I saw a big explosion or

something go over the building

there-

FELIX:

Oh, those were just fireworks.

RALPH:

Fireworks. Okay. Is it somebody’s

birthday or...?

WRECK-IT RALPH

FELIX:

Well, it’s more of an anniversary.

The thirtieth anniversary of our

game, actually.

RALPH:

What? Is that today?

FELIX:

I know!

RALPH:

I’m such a dummy with dates.

Anyway, congratulations.

FELIX:

Thank you, Ralph. And to you, too.

Awkward silence. Finally, the door opens. A Frogger TURTLE

sticks his head out.

TURTLE:

Just a heads up, Felix, they’re

bringing out the cake in a few

shakes.

RALPH:

Hi, Glen.

TURTLE:

(terse)

Ralph.

Turtle shuts the door, fast.

RALPH:

Cake. Heard about this cake stuff.

Never had it. No one ever seems to

throw it out, so it never ends up

in the dump. Never actually tasted

it.

FELIX:

...yeah.

RALPH:

Always wanted to try cake.

FELIX:

(shaking his head, no)

I don’t suppose you’d like to come

in and have a slice, would you?
