Megamind: [answering a cell phone] Ollo?
Minion: Uh, it's "hello", sir.
Megamind: Oh... Hello?
[to Minion]
Megamind: Like that?
Minion: [gives him a thumbs-up]
Titan: [on TV] Hey, Metro losers! This is Metro Tower! They say it's supposed to be a symbol of our city's strength...
[shows Roxanne tied to the tower]
Titan: ...but for me, it's a reminder of the day this woman ferociously ripped out my heart! And I hate reminders!
[rips out part of the tower's foundation, swaying it]
Roxanne
Ritchi: HAL! Please don't do this. I know there's still good in you, Hal...
Titan: You're so naive, Roxy. You see the good in everyone, even when it's not there. You're living a fantasy. There is no Easter Bunny. There is no Tooth Fairy. There is no Queen of England. This is the real world, and you need to wake up!
[a solar-powered laser starts to activate]
Minion: [at a monitor] Death ray readying!
Megamind: Let's see if Metro Man can withstand the full concentrated power of the sun! FIRE!
[nothing happens]
Megamind: [to Minion] Fire!
Minion: [at monitor] Still warming up, sir.
Megamind: Come again?
Minion: Warming up.
Megamind: Warming up? The sun is WARMING UP?
Minion: Just a little more and...
[first lines]
Megamind: Here's my day so far: went to jail, lost the girl of my dreams and got my butt kicked pretty good. Still, things could be a lot worse. Oh, that's right... I'm falling to my death. Guess they can't. How did it all come to this? Well, my end starts at the beginning... The very beginning!
Minion: My sole purpose in life is to look after you!
Megamind: Well, I don't need you to look after me!
Minion: What are you... what are you saying? You don't need me?
Megamind: Let me make it clear. Code: I don't need you.
Minion: You know what? You know what? Code: I'll just pack my
thing and go!
Megamind: Code: Fine!
Minion: Code: Fine back! Good luck on your date!
Megamind: I will!
Minion: That doesn't even make any sense!
Megamind: I know!
Megamind: You can scream all you wish, Miss Ritchi! I'm afraid no one can hear you!
[Roxanne just gives him an exasperated look]
Megamind: Uh, why isn't she screaming?
Minion: Miss Ritchi, if you don't mind...
Megamind: Like this!
[does a fake scream]
Megamind: Well,
that's a poor lady scream...
[the brainbot in his lap bites his hand, and he lets out a high-pitched scream]
Megamind: AAAAAHHH!
Roxanne Ritchi: [smirking] That's a little better.
Metro Man: It all started back at the observatory. Roxanne was kidnapped, I was gonna stop you. My head wasn't in the game that day. We were kinda goin' through the motions. So, using my super speed, I decided to go clear my head. Then I realized, we had done this same silly charade our entire lives! I tried to get my mind off how I was feeling, but I just felt stuck. And I
started to realize, despite all my powers, each and every citizen of Metro had something I didn't: a choice. Ever since I can remember, I've always had to be what this city wanted me to be. What about what I wanted to do? Then it suddenly hit me: I DO have a choice! I can be whatever I wanna be! No one said that this hero thing had to be a lifetime gig!... But you can't just quit either. That's
when I got the brilliant idea... to fake my death! Once your death ray hit, I've never felt so alive. So I borrowed a prop from a nearby nursing school and Metro Man was finally dead! And Music Man was born!
Roxanne Ritchi: Music Man?
Metro Man: That way I can keep my logo!
Megamind: Because of WHAAT?
Roxanne
Ritchi: Come again?
Metro Man: I am finally free to get in touch with my true power... weaving lyrical magic!
Megamind: MINION!
Minion: [wounded] I can't see... it's cold and dark, and warm and light...
Megamind: It's me, Minion. I'm right here.
Minion: We've had a lot of adventures together, you and I...
Megamind: We have.
Minion: I mean... most of them ended in
horrible failure... but we won today, didn't we, sir?
Megamind: Yes, Minion. We did it, thanks to you.
Minion: Code... we're the good guys now.
Megamind: Code: I guess we are.
Minion: Oh! Oh! Oh! I'm going! I think this is it! I'm going far away...!
[Megamind picks up his friend's body... and
drops it in the fountain]
Megamind: What a drama queen!
Minion: You know, I'm feeling much better now! Guess I just needed a swim...
Megamind: [to Roxanne] He had you going, didn't he? Classic Minion.
Megamind: [to Minion] Don't give me that face. He reels you in with that little face! Look at that
face!
[as children, Metro Man is given stars from the teacher, while Megamind is made to stand in a corner]
Megamind: No matter how hard I tried, I was always the odd man out, the last one picked, the screw-up, the black sheep... the bad boy. Was this my destiny?... Wait. Maybe it was! Being bad is the one thing I'm good at! Then it hit me: if I was the bad boy, then I was going
to be the baddest boy of them ALL!
[sets off a chemical explosion in the schoolhouse]
Megamind: I was destined to be a supervillain, and we were destined to be rivals! The die was cast! And so began an epic enduring lifelong career... and I LOVED IT!
[a gallery of newspaper articles appears, featuring Megamind and Metro Man's battles]
Megamind: Our battles quickly got more elaborate. He would win some, I would ALMOST win others! He took the name: Metro Man, defender of Metro City. I decided to pick something a little more humble: Megamind, incredibly handsome criminal genius and master of all villainy!
