Wreck-It Ralph Page #9

JUBILEENA:

Oh no, I glitched, too.

Jubileena goes over to the kart, flails and crashes into it,

ripping off the brake. Vanellope rushes over to her kart, but

other racers get in her way and block her.

ON RALPH:
Disturbed by what he’s seeing.

RALPH:

Uncool.

BACK ON THE KIDS: The other racers tear apart the kart.

VARIOUS RACERS:

Oh no, I glitched. I glitched. Look

out, I’m glitching.

VANELLOPE:

Stop. You’re breaking it! No!

Please.

Vanellope grabs Taffyta and spins her around to face her.

WRECK-IT RALPH

VANELLOPE (CONT’D)

I just want to race like you guys.

TAFFYTA:

You’ll never be a racer, because

you’re a glitch...and that’s all

you’ll ever be.

Taffyta pushes Vanellope, who goes flying back, and lands

SPLAT in the mud.

ON RALPH:
That’s the last straw; he jumps up.

RALPH:

Hey! Leave her alone!

He runs down the hill, flails his arms, and throws mud at the

kids. They SCREAM in terror.

RALPH (CONT’D)

Scram, you rotten little cavities,

before I throw YOU in the mud!

The racers drive off. Ralph puffs up. He turns to Vanellope.

She wipes away tears, while sifting through the wreckage of

her kart.

VANELLOPE:

What are YOU looking at?

RALPH:

You’re welcome, you rotten little

thief.

VANELLOPE:

I’m not a thief. I just borrowed

your stupid coin. I was gonna give

it back to you as soon as I won the

race.

RALPH:

It’s not a coin. It is a medal.

VANELLOPE:

Coin. Medal. Just go back to your

own dumb game and win another one.

RALPH:

I can’t. I didn’t win it in my

game. I won it in Hero’s Duty.

VANELLOPE:

Hero’s Doodie?! Ha!

WRECK-IT RALPH

RALPH:

It’s not that kind of duty.

VANELLOPE:

I bet you really gotta watch where

you step in a game called Hero’s

Doodie. What did you win a medal

for? Wiping? I hope you washed your

hands after you handled that medal.

RALPH:

Listen.

VANELLOPE:

Wait. One more. One more: why did

the hero flush the toilet?

VANELLOPE (CONT’D)

Say why...

RALPH:

Why.

VANELLOPE:

Because it was his doodie.

RALPH:

How dare you insult Hero’s Duty,

you little guttersnipe! I earned

that medal, and you better get it

back for me, toot-sweet, sister!

VANELLOPE:

Well, unless you’ve got a go-kart

hidden in the fat folds of your

neck, I can’t help you.

Ralph makes like he wants to crush her, but forces himself to

smash a nearby candy tree instead. He then punches a giant

jawbreaker. It doesn’t so much as crack. He tries again.

Nothing. Incensed, he pounds on it-- temper-tantrum style.

VANELLOPE (CONT’D)

What a moron.

(calling to Ralph)

Hey genius, it’s a jawbreaker!

You’re never gonna break-

(as he breaks it)

...that...?

That gives her an idea.

VANELLOPE (CONT’D)

Hmmm.

WRECK-IT RALPH

Ralph plops down on a rock, out of breath. Vanellope comes

over and leans against a nearby jawbreaker.

VANELLOPE (CONT’D)

Enjoy your little tantrum, diaper

baby?

RALPH:

Leave me alone.

VANELLOPE:

Look, you want that medal, right?

And I want to race. So, here’s what

I’m thinking; you help me get a new

kart, a real kart, and I’ll win the

race and get you back your medal.

RALPH:

You want me to help you?

VANELLOPE:

All you got to do is break

something for me. Come on, what do

you say, friend?

She holds out a hand. He doesn’t take it right away.

RALPH:

We are not friends.

VANELLOPE:

Ah come on, pal. You son of a gun.

Come on buddy, let’s shake on it.

Come on chumbo. Ralph, my man. My

main man. Hey, my arm’s getting

tired. We have a deal or not?

RALPH:

You better win.

He takes her little hand, and they shake on it.

CUT TO:

EXT. SUGAR RUSH, CRUISER, FLYING - DAY

Felix and Calhoun get a bird’s eye view of Ralph’s wreckage.

CALHOUN:

I’ll say this much, they don’t call

your friend Wreck-It for nothing.

There’s the shuttle!

WRECK-IT RALPH

She lands the cruiser.

EXT. SUGAR RUSH, THE BROKEN SHIP

Calhoun does a military run up to the ship, gun raised. She

circles it, checks the cockpit.

Felix approaches cautiously.

FELIX:

Is he in there?

CALHOUN:

Nope. Lucky for him, otherwise I

would have slapped his corpse....

No cy-bug either.

She pulls out her tri-quarter bug sensor and starts scanning.

CALHOUN (CONT’D)

Got to find it before it lays its

filthy eggs.

CUT TO:

EXT. CANDY CANE FOREST, TAFFY PIT

Calhoun and Felix pass the pit. She’s getting a faint signal

on the sensor. It scrambles. She smacks it. It scrambles

more.

CALHOUN:

(with disgust)

Argh. This atmosphere is full of

sugar particles, and it’s jamming

my Sensor with funny fudge.

They walk on.

CALHOUN (CONT’D)

So, what is it with this Wreck-it

joker? Why’d he go AWOL?

FELIX:

I wish I knew, ma’am. He was acting

all squirrelly last night-- going

on about cake and medals.

(distraught)

But I never thought he’d go Turbo.

CALHOUN:

Go Turbo...?

WRECK-IT RALPH

FELIX:

That’s right, guys just got plugged

in. Well, back when the arcade

first opened...

FADE TO:

INT. LITWAK’S ARCADE, EARLY 80S - FLASHBACK

Simpler days. 80s music. 80s kids play classic games -- FFJ,

PAC MAN, and an 8-bit racing game called TURBO TIME. We meet

TURBO -- basically a giant smiley face in a generic car,

racing on a generic road.

FELIX (V.O.)

... Turbo Time was by far the most

popular game.

Turbo crosses the finish line and gives us a giant thumbs-up.

TURBO:

TURBO-TASTIC!

FELIX (V.O.)

And Turbo-- well, he loved the

attention.

Turbo takes the first-place spot on a podium. He blocks the

second-place racer down with a wave of his trophy and blocks

the third-place racer from view with his Turbo thumbs-up.

FELIX (V.O.) (CONT’D)

So when RoadBlasters got plugged in

and stole Turbo’s thunder, boy was

he jealous...

RoadBlasters is wheeled in. Kids abandon Turbo Time to play

it. TURBO is left mid-game. He stops and looks across the

arcade to Pole Position. His big smile turns to a frown.

FELIX (V.O.) (CONT’D)

So jealous that abandoned his

game...

POWER STRIP:
We watch the little Turbo dots cross the power

cord from his game to RoadBlasters.

FELIX (V.O.) (CONT’D)

...and tried to take over the new

one.

ROADBLASTERS — SHORT TIME LATER

WRECK-IT RALPH

A frustrated kid tries to play RoadBlasters, but the screen

is in chaos -- an 8-bit Turbo glitches all over the track,

causing the kid to crash his car.

KID 1

Is that-- that looks like Turbo!

KID 2

Aw what’s Turbo doing in this game?

(crashing)

Aw c’mon!

KID 1

Mr. Litwak!

FELIX (V.O.)

Turbo ended up putting both games

and himself out of order, for good.

A WORKER wheels out both Turbo Time and Pole Position.

BACK ON CALHOUN AND FELIX: Calhoun shakes her head.

CALHOUN:

The selfish man is like a mangy dog

chasing a cautionary tale.

They step onto a fallen peppermint tree acting as a bridge

over a ravine.

FELIX:

I know, right? That’s why I have to

get Ralph home, or the same thing’s

gonna happen to my game.

DING! DING! The entire tree is double stripe. It blinks.
