Shazam: [at the Philadelphia Museum of Art] I can see why Rocky climbed up all the way here.
[Sivana chases Shazam in the air, then they see each other a mile away]
Dr. Thaddeus Sivana: Enough games, boy. You think a pack of children can...
[Shazam cannot hear Sivana]
Shazam: Wait, what?
Dr. Thaddeus Sivana: You will beg for mercy as I feast on your heart... slow.
Shazam: Are you making
some big evil guy speech right now or something? You're like, a mile away from me right now. There's cars and trucks.
Dr. Thaddeus Sivana: I will have the world eating out of the palm of my hand...
Shazam: All I see is mouth moving. I don't hear any...
Dr. Thaddeus Sivana: Only I have the power to unleash...
Shazam: Ah, whatever. Screw it.
[Shazam and Sivana charge towards each other]
Shazam: So this is like the Seven Deadly Sins, right? I mean, I've never been great at math, but, uh, the big angry one, that's Wrath, yeah? And then Gluttony, obvi. Pride, Greed, Sloth, Lust, who I thought was gonna be way hotter, if I'm being honest. But that's only six. Where's lucky number seven? Where's little man? Where's Envy? Is he just scared of me and my family because
we're so awesome? Because I get that. Like, the other sins, they get to come out and fight, because they're big and strong and scary. But Envy... he's just the runt.
[Envy's face emerges out of Sivana's body before disappearing. Shazam and Sivana then float]
Shazam: And that's why all the other Sins never invite him out to play, man. Because they all know who'd win.
[Sivana charges his fists]
Shazam: And it's not weak, worthless, ugly Envy.
[Envy exits Sivana's body to charge at Shazam, causing Sivana to fall and hang on the ledge of the building]
[Shazam saves Mary from being hit by a snow plow]
Mary Bromfield: Oh, my God.
Shazam: Mary... Mary, are you okay? Are you...
Mary Bromfield: How do you know my name?
Shazam: Uh... How do I know your name? Uh... One of my superpowers is name-guessing. Which is really weird, I bet. Uh, it's not as cool as
super-strength or super-speed, but it's really helpful when I meet new people. Are you hurt?
Mary Bromfield: No, I'm okay. Thank you. Um... I just need a second to think. This has been such a weird day.
Shazam: Um, using my powers of super-observation, I see that you're holding a letter from a college in your hand. Are you upset because you didn't
get in?
Mary Bromfield: [shakes her head, then nods] I got in.
Shazam: Uh... well, now my superpowers are failing me and I am very confused.
Mary Bromfield: Yeah. Me too. I don't know. I know I should be excited 'cause this is my dream and I've worked really, really hard for this, but it's like... I don't know. Leaving my
family does not feel fun, you know?
Shazam: Could I, could I give you a little piece of advice? Don't be worried about everybody else. Always look out for number one. Gandhi said that.
Mary Bromfield: I don't think he said that.
Shazam: Yeah, he did.
Mary Bromfield: Gandhi did not say.
Shazam: Somebody like Gandhi said that.
Mary Bromfield: Take care of number one.
Shazam: It was a really wise... It might've been Yoda. Listen...
Mary Bromfield: I'm sorry, no.
Shazam: Agree to disagree. The point is, you do you, you know? You gotta look out for you. And get as far away
from this place as you can.
Mary Bromfield: I don't know if I want to.
Shazam: Of course you do. What're you gonna do? You're gonna live in a group home for the rest of your life?
[pause]
Shazam: Look, families are for people who can't take care of themselves, okay? So... You know, and you can take care of yourself.
Also, look both ways when you cross the street.
[Shazam exits a gentlemen's club while eating chicken wings]
Freddy Freeman: What'd you see? What'd you see? Were there boobies? You see nipples? W-Why aren't you talking?
Shazam: We're gonna need more money.
Freddy Freeman: Why? You were in there for, like, five minutes.
Shazam: Dude, they were very
convincing!
[Freddy sits alone at the cafeteria when the Breyer brothers appear]
Brett Breyer: What are you doing? Waiting for your imaginary BFF to show up?
Burke Breyer: Yeah.
[Burke grabs some of Freddy's food before elbowing him in the head. Freddy's siblings join him at the table]
Freddy Freeman: What are you guys doing here?
Mary Bromfield: Well, we're having lunch with you.
Freddy Freeman: But you guys have different lunch periods.
Mary Bromfield: Well, we made a very special arrangement.
Freddy Freeman: Darla, what's going on?
Darla Dudley: Why are you asking me?
[Shazam enters the cafeteria
with some food]
Shazam: Freddy Freeman!
[all the kids see Shazam in awe]
Shazam: This guy taught me everything I know about being a dope superhero. True story. You should get some pointers from him.
[Shazam sits next to Freddy]
Shazam: What's going on, my best bud in the whole world? And also new kids that I'm
meeting for the first time but seem very cool? Uh... I invited another friend. I hope that's okay.
[Superman arrives with some food and stands next to Freddy]
Freddy Freeman: Huh!
Freddy Freeman: Are you more powerful than a locomotive?
Shazam: What's a locomotive?
Dr. Thaddeus Sivana: Chosen one.
[Shazam turns around and sees Sivana]
Dr. Thaddeus Sivana: The so-called perfect man. Pure of heart. Flawless in every way.
[Sivana looks at Shazam's costume]
Dr. Thaddeus Sivana: What made you so worthy?
Shazam: I'm sorry, can I help, can I help... Do you want an
autograph or something?
Dr. Thaddeus Sivana: Give me your power.
[Sivana removes his sunglasses, revealing the Eye of Sin as his right eye]
Dr. Thaddeus Sivana: Or die.
Shazam: Oh, snap! You're like, a bad guy, right? Okay. Okay, okay, okay, look. Before this gets really stupid for you, you should know that I'm
basically invincible. So you...
[Sivana punches Shazam in the stomach before doing an uppercut that sends him flying upward and crashing on a police car]
Dr. Thaddeus Sivana: The weapons of man draw no blood from our kind.
[Sivana zaps two police officers on his left]
Dr. Thaddeus Sivana: The only thing that extinguishes magic... is
magic. Time to transfer your power to me.
[Shazam suddenly punches Sivana in the crotch]
Shazam: Oh, ho ho ho ho! Oh, you didn't see that one coming, did you, grandpa? Them's street rules.
[Shazam throws a punch at Sivana, but Sivana catches his fist and grabs him by the throat. He then flies up in the air with Shazam]
Shazam: Okay,
okay, okay, okay. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I never should've punched you in the nuts like that. That was totally my bad! We can talk about this!
Dr. Thaddeus Sivana: You grovel like a child.
Shazam: That's because I am one. I-I'm a kid! You don't wanna hurt a kid, do you?
[Sivana punches Shazam down back to the city]
Shazam: I believe I can fly! I believe I can fly! I believe I can fly! Freddy said if I believe I can fly, then I can fly! So I believe! I believe! I believe! Okay.
[Shazam does a Superman flying pose]
Shazam: Superman! Superman! What arm is it? Why am I not flying? Please, I don't wanna die!
[Shazam closes his eyes before crashing on the road
below. He then opens his eyes and discovers that he is floating]
Shazam: I'm floating!
[Shazam gets hit by a truck and falls off the freeway. Several drivers get out of their cars to see where Shazam fell, but he rises up]
Shazam: I can fly!
[Shazam is attacked by Sivana]
Dr. Thaddeus Sivana: [to Shazam] Do you know what it's like for a child to be told you'll never be good enough? No, you don't. What you said to me all those years ago made me realize who I really was. And you know something? I am not pure of heart.
[heads to the Orb of Sin]
Shazam: Dude! Dude! Dude! Dude, did you see that?
Freddy Freeman: Yeah. You electrocuted a bus and almost killed these people.
Shazam: And then I caught it! Freddy, I caught a bus with my bare hands, man! I caught a bus like people catch fly balls. Like, who does that? I do that!
Freddy Freeman: Billy, you do
nothing. You, you take selfies and make people pay you. You know, forget it. I can't really talk to you when you look like this.
Shazam: You just wish it was you!
Freddy Freeman: No shit! You think I wouldn't kill to have what you have? Because everything I do is, like, some desperate attempt to get people to notice me, to not feel sorry for me. I
mean, look at me! Look at me! Do you even see me? Cause most people don't! Cause they don't want to. And now you don't, either. I mean, you think this is who you are? I mean, Billy, you're 14. And now you're no better than the Breyers. All this power, and all you did was turn into a show-off and a bully.
[Freddy walks away]
Shazam: Whatever, kid! I do what I want!
And I'm like, mid-20s probably! Maybe even, like, 30.
Billy Batson: Hi. Um... I was supposed to get off at 30th.
The Wizard: Billy Batson.
Billy Batson: How'd you know my name?
The Wizard: I am the last of the Council of Wizards. Keeper of the Rock of Eternity.
Billy Batson: Oh... You're... that guy. Hey, listen, I don't have any money.
The Wizard: Do not patronize me, boy!
[the Wizard strikes the ground with his staff]
The Wizard: You are standing in the source of all magic. The Rock of Eternity. Seven thrones of seven wizards. But long ago, we chose a champion. And we chose recklessly. He used his power for revenge, releasing the Seven Deadly Sins into your world. Millions
of lives were lost. Entire civilizations erased from existence.
[the Wizard walks around Billy]
The Wizard: That is why I vowed never to pass on my magic until I find one truly good person. Strong in spirit, pure in heart.
Billy Batson: Look, man, maybe this is magic, and, I don't know, but the people you're looking for, good, pure people, I'm
not one of them. I-I don't know if anyone is, really.
The Wizard: You, Billy Batson, are all I have. All the world has.
[the Wizard strikes the ground with his staff in front of Billy]
The Wizard: Lay your hands on my staff.
Billy Batson: Gross.
The Wizard: And say my name so my powers may flow
through you. I open my heart to you, Billy Batson. And in so doing, choose you as champion.
Billy Batson: Thanks.
[the Wizard strikes the ground again]
Billy Batson: Real sweet of you, mister, but I really gotta get going.
The Wizard: My brothers and sisters were slain by the Sins. Their thrones lie empty! My magic must
be passed on. Now...
[the Wizard strikes the ground again]
The Wizard: Speak my name!
Billy Batson: I-I don't know your name, sir. We just met.
The Wizard: My name is... Shazam.
Billy Batson: [chuckles] Wait, for real?
The Wizard: Say it!
Billy
Batson: Okay! Jeez.
[Billy places his left hand on the staff while the Wizard holds it with both hands]
Billy Batson: So just say it? Like... Shazam?
[Billy is struck by lightning]
The Wizard: Yes! Carry my name, and with it, you carry all my powers. The wisdom of Solomon, the strength of Hercules, the stamina of Atlas, the
power of Zeus, the courage of Achilles, and the speed of Mercury.
[Billy gets up, now as Shazam]
Shazam: What happened to me? Why am... W-w-what did you do to me? What did you do to my voice?
The Wizard: You have been transformed to your full potential, Billy Batson. With your heart, unlock your greatest power.
[the Wizard hands Shazam
his staff]
The Wizard: The thrones of our brothers and sisters await.
[the Wizard crumbles into dust, startling Shazam as he drops the staff and grabs his backpack]
Shazam: Get me out of here!
[Billy arrives at his mother's apartment and knocks on the door]
Billy's Mom: Just a second.
[she opens the door]
Billy's Mom: Hey, look, I'm late for work already, all right? We don't need any magazines or whatever. Thanks, though.
Billy Batson: Oh, I'm not. You probably don't recognize me, but...
[Billy shows
her his compass keychain]
Billy Batson: I found my way home. Mom. It's me.
Billy's Mom: Oh, God. Is it?
[Billy nods, then approaches to hug her, but she stops him]
Billy's Mom: Um... hang on.
[she closes the door]
Billy Batson: That wasn't Dad, was it?
Billy's Mom:
No. Listen, son... It's really you, huh?
Billy Batson: I didn't mean to run away. You know that, right? I let go, but it was by accident.
Billy's Mom: Yeah, no. I know, yeah. I saw you.
Billy Batson: What?
Billy's Mom: I saw you after. So, it was never your fault. Look, I was 17, okay? And my daddy
kicked me out. And your dad just decided not to be a part of anything. And I was hurting, and I was screwed up.
[pause]
Billy's Mom: Look, it's just once I saw you with the police, I realized they could do a better job taking care of you than I ever will. But you're good, right? I mean, you landed on your feet. Because, I mean, you look real good. It's just... now is
not a really good time for me, Bill.
Billy Batson: All I wanted to do is... let you know I'm doing good, but I have to get back to my real family. Here.
[Billy gives her his keychain]
Billy's Mom: What's this?
Billy Batson: You might need it more than me.
[Billy walks away]
Billy Batson: Well, you wanted me to be a hero.
Freddy Freeman: Are you kidding? Okay, no. Old guy's up there harboring multiple spiritual entities. Plus, he has the same powers as you. Plus, I mean, he knows what he's doing. Plus, I mean, you're my best friend. I don't want you to die. All right?
Billy Batson: If a superhero can't
save his family, he's not much of a hero.
[Billy walks towards Sivana]
Freddy Freeman: That was a decent catchphrase.
