It was written and directed by Brad Bird, previously best known for directing the 1999 animated movie The Iron Giant.

[edit] Mr. Incredible

  • Every Super has a secret identity; I don't know a single one who doesn't. I mean, who wants the pressure of being super all the time?
  • No matter how many times you save the world, it always manages to get back in jeopardy again! Sometimes I just want it to stay saved, you know? For a little bit. I feel like the maid: "I just cleaned up this mess! Can we keep it clean for, for 10 minutes?! Please?!"
  • I've still got time. [repeatedly, during a series of crises as he heads toward his wedding]
  • Fly home, Buddy. I work alone.
  • Go home Buddy
  • [talking to Buddy/Syndrome] You're Not Affiliated With Me!
  • Hey, come on. We're superheroes. What could happen? [to Helen at their wedding, shortly before onslaught of lawsuits that brought about the Superhero Ban.]
  • I'm sorry, Mrs. Hogenson, but our liability is spelled out in paragraph 17.
  • [Bob is confronted with a helpless elderly client] Okay...listen closely — I'd like to help you, but I can't. I'd like to tell you to take a copy of your policy to Norma Wilcox on --[gestures the client to write down the info] Norma Wilcox, W-I-L-C-O-X, on the 3rd floor, but I can't. I also do not advise you to fill out a WS-2574 form with our legal department on the 2nd floor. I would not expect someone to get back to you quickly to resolve the matter. I'd like to help, but there's nothing I can do. [The woman begins to thank him] Shh! [in a loud voice] I'm sorry, ma'am, I know you're upset. [whispers] Pretend to be upset.
  • [as Violet and Dash fight under the table] You want me to intervene? [lifts up the table, Dash and Violet still fighting as Helen tries to restrain them.] Okay! I'm intervening!
  • Reliving the glory days is better than acting like they never happened!
  • [about Dash's graduation] It is not a graduation. He will be moving from the 4th grade to the 5th grade. It's psychotic! They keep inventing new ways to celebrate mediocrity, but when someone is genuinely exceptional--
  • Showtime. [repeated line]
  • No, there isn't. In fact, there's no time at all. Why are you here? How can you possibly bring me lower? What more can you take away from me? [released by Mirage]
  • You keep trying to pick a fight, while I'm still just happy that you're alive!
  • How could I betray the perfect woman?
  • You are my greatest adventure, and I almost missed it. I swear I'll get us out of here.


[edit] Mrs. Incredible / Elastigirl

  • I think you need to be a little more...flexible.
  • Of course I have a secret identity! Can you see me in this [indicates her super-suit] at the, at the supermarket? Come on! I don't want to go shopping as Elastigirl, you know what I mean?
  • Settle down? Are you kidding? I'm at the top of my game! I'm right up there with the big dogs! Girls, come on! Leave the saving of the world to the men? I don't think so! I don't think so.
  • Is this...rubble?
  • [to Edna] What do I think? Bob is retired! I'm retired! Our whole family is underground! You helped him resume secret hero work behind my back?!
  • Brace yourselves! (To Violet and Dash as they are about to hit the water after she has deployed herself as a human parachute.)
  • Everybody calm down. Now, I'll tell you what we're not gonna do. We're not gonna panic, we're not gonna--look out!
  • We are NOT gonna die! Now, both of you will get a grip, or so help me, I'll ground you for a month! Understand?!
  • [Violet's trying to apologize for not being able to rescue them earlier] Shhh. It isn't your fault. It wasn't fair for me to suddenly ask so much of you. But things are different now. And doubt is a luxury we can't afford anymore, sweetie. You have more power than you realize. Don't think. And don't worry! If the time comes, you'll know what to do. It's in your blood.
  • [hands Violet and Dash masks] Your identity is your most precious possession. Protect it.
  • Remember the bad guys, on those shows you used to watch on Saturday mornings? [Dash and Violet nod excitedly] Well, these guys are not like those guys. [Their faces fall] They won't exercise restraint because you're children. They will kill you if they get the chance. Do not give them that chance.
  • DON'T TAKE SEVENTH!!!
  • [just prior to battle] We're superheroes. What could happen?

[edit] Frozone

  • Super-ladies, they're always trying to tell you their secret identity. [stage whisper] Think it'll strengthen the relationship or something like that! I say, "Girl, I don't wanna know about your mild-mannered alter ego or anything like that." I mean, you tell me you're, uh, super-mega-ultra-lightning babe? That's all right with me. I'm good. I'm good.
  • All right, now one more shot from this death ray, and I'm finished. I manage to find some cover, and what does Baron Von Ruthless do? He starts monologuing! He starts, like, this prepared speech about how feeble I am compared to him. How inevitable my defeat is, how the world will soon be his, yadda-yadda-yadda...Yammerin'! I mean, the guy has me on a platter, and he won't shut up!'
  • To tell you the truth, I'd rather go bowling. Look - what if we actually did what our wives think we're doing? Just to shake things up.
  • I don't see anyone from the old days, Bob. Just you. And we're pushing our luck as it is.
  • I want to go Bowling!
  • Aw - now... that ain't right!
  • We look like bad guys! Incompetent bad guys!
  • Where is my super suit?

[edit] Dash

  • You always say, "Do your best," but you don't really mean it. Why can't I do the best I can do?
  • She'd eat if we were having Tonyloaf!
  • We're dead! We're dead! We survived but we're dead!
  • You wanna go toward the people that tried to kill us?
  • And those guys tried to kill us! That was the best vacation ever! [sighs] I love our family.
  • [after a huge explosion destroys the Parrs' house] Does this mean we have to move again?
  • Let's do that again!
  • [trying on his new super-suit] The Dash likes.
  • I'm alive! Yeee-HA! Wahoo! [Notices bad guys have spotted him] Uh oh!
  • Violet?
  • Hey, no force fields!
  • Don't Touch My Sister!

[edit] Violet Parr

  • I said, shut up, you little insect!
  • Mom? Mom, w-what happened on the plane, I--I-I'm sorry, I wanted to help--I-I mean, when you asked me to, to--I'm sorry.
  • [As Dash sprints out of an exploding cave] What did you do?!
  • Well, I think Dad has made some excellent progress today, but I think it's time we wind down now.
  • I feel different. Is different okay?
  • [While invisible in front of Tony Rydinger] He looked at me.
  • [While Tony is trying to ask her out] Shh... I like movies. I'll buy the popcorn, okay?
  • Dash, remember what Mom said. Dash, run. Run!
  • You don't have to. Just use the coordinates from the last launch. [Violet advising on rockets]
  • But you said never to use--
  • It blew up!
  • (In a very squeaky voice) But I don't want to put on those glasses!

[edit] Syndrome (Buddy Pine / IncrediBoy)

  • [Mr. Incredible: Buddy?] My name is not BUDDY! And it's not IncrediBoy either! That ship has sailed! All I wanted was to help you. I only wanted to help! And what did you say to me?! (Remembers Mr. Incredible saying, "Fly home, Buddy. I work alone."; cuts to furious-looking young Buddy, staring up at a Mr. Incredible poster in a frame and then tearing it down) It tore me apart. But I learned an important lesson: You can't count on anyone. Especially your heroes! [Mr. Incredible: I was wrong to treat you that way. I'm sorry...] See? Now you respect me, because I'm a threat. And that's the way it works. It turns out there are lots of people, whole countries who want respect, and they will pay through the nose to get it. How do you think I got rich? I invented weapons. And now I have a weapon that only I can defeat. And when I unleash it-- (Mr. Incredible throws a log at him. Syndrome hits him with zero-point energy) [chuckling] You sly dog! You got me monologuing! I can't believe it.
  • Am I good enough now?! Who's super now?! I'm Syndrome, your nemesis and-- [He then realizes he accidentally threw Mr. Incredible into the distance; to himself] Oh, brilliant!
  • You, sir, truly are Mr. Incredible! You know, I was right to idolize you. I always knew you were tough, but tricking the probe by hiding under the bones of another super?! Oh, man! I'm still geeking out about it! [sighs, then becomes angry] And then you just had to... ruin the ride! I mean, Mr. Incredible calling for help? "Help me, help me!" [mimics sobbing] Lame, lame, lame, lame, LAME!
  • I knew you couldn't do it, even when you've got nothing to lose. You're weak. And I've outgrown you.
  • TIME OUT!
  • [has just caught the entire Parr family] What have we here? Matching uniforms? [sees Helen] Oh, no. Elastigirl? You married Elastigirl?! [laughs, then looks at Violet and Dash] And got busy! It's a whole family of Supers! Looks like I've hit the jackpot! Oh-ho, this is just too good!
  • I'll give them heroics. I'll give them the most spectacular heroics they've ever seen! And when I'm old and I've had my fun, I'll sell my inventions so everyone can be superheroes! Everyone can be super! And when everyone's super, [laughs maniacally] no-one will be.
  • [said while kidnapping Jack-Jack] You took away my future. I'm simply returning the favor. Oh, no, don't worry, I'll be a good mentor: supportive, encouraging, everything you weren't. And in time, who knows? He might make a good sidekick.
  • [last words] This isn't the end of it! I will get your son eventually! I'll get your son! [laughs, then realizes Mr. Incredible has thrown his car at him] Oh, no. [gets knocked out of his plane and screams as he is sucked into a jet engine]
  • [in the short "Jack-Jack Attack, when lying to Kari McKeen that the "S" on his costume stands for "Sitter"] Originally, I was going to have the initials for "babysitter", but then I would have been going around wearing a big "BS," and you can understand why I couldn't go with that.

[edit] Mirage

  • Hello, Mr. Incredible. Yes, we know who you are. Rest assured, your secret is safe with us. We have something in common. According to the government, neither of us exists. Please pay attention, as this message is classified and will not be repeated. I represent a top secret division of the government, designing and testing experimental technology, and we have a need of your unique abilities. The supers aren't gone, Mister Incredible. You're still here. You can still do great things. Or...you can listen to police scanners. Your choice.
  • [referring to Syndrome] He's attracted to power. So am I. It's a...weakness we share.
  • [about Mr. Incredible] He's not weak, you know. Valuing life is not a weakness. And disregarding it is not strength.
  • [to Syndrome] Next time you gamble, bet your own life!
  • You have 24 hours to respond. Think about it.
  • Say please.
  • Everything at the table was grown right here. How does it compare?
  • [Bob is choking her] Family...survived the crash! They're here on the island! [Bob lets go; she gasps and coughs]
  • There isn't much time.
  • He's not alone. The fat guy is still with him. They're just...talking.
  • Trust me. This is the one he's been looking for.
  • Mr. Incredible? The Omnidroid again. (Mr. Incredible: "Showtime")

[edit] Edna Mode

  • Go fix the electric fence or something. (Shooing away her security guard when Mr. Incredible arrives to have his old super suit repaired.)
  • My God, you've gotten fat. Come in! Come!
  • I never look back, darling. It distracts from the now.
  • Supermodels--ha! Nothing "super" about them. Spoiled, stupid little stick-figures with poofy lips who think only about themselves. FEH! I used to design for gods!
  • You can't! It's impossible! I'm far too busy, so ask me now before I again become sane.
  • You come in one hour, darling. I insist. Okay? Okay. Goodbye.
  • [speaking into a voice-activated lock] Edna Mode. [laser-gun appears and points at Helen] And guest. [gun withdraws]
  • Yes, words are useless! Gobble-gobble-gobble-gobble-gobble. Too much of it, darling! Too much! That is why I show you my work! That is why you are here!
  • What are you talking about? You are Elastigirl! My God, pull yourself together! "What will you do?" What is-- is this a question?! You will show him that you remember that he is Mr. Incredible! And you will remind him of who you are! Well, you know where he is! Go! Confront the problem! Fight! Win! ...And call me when you get back, darling, I enjoy our visits.
  • Luck favors the prepared.

[edit] Other

  • Anti-Super Spokeswoman: It is time for their secret identity to become their only identity. Time for them to join us, or go away.
  • "Go save yourself!" ~ picket sign in crowd of anti-super protesters
  • Rusty: That was totally wicked!
  • Henchman: [Whilst watching Omnidroid attack the city on TV] Hey, every time they run, you take a shot.
  • Rick Dicker: We've frozen all of Syndrome's assets. If he so much as sneezes, we'll be there with a hanky and a pair of handcuffs.
  • Kari: Because leading experts say, Mozart makes babies smarter. I wish my parents played Mozart when I was asleep because half the time I don't even know what the heck anyone's talking about!
  • The Underminer: Behold the Underminer! I am always beneath you, but nothing is beneath me! I hereby declare war against peace and happiness! Soon all will tremble before me!

[edit] Dialogue

[Mr. Incredible is about to go to the scene of a tour bus robbery when Young Buddy enters the Incredibile.]
Young Buddy: Cool! Ready for takeoff!
Mr. Incredible: What the-- who are you supposed to be?
Young Buddy: Well, I'm IncrediBoy!
Mr. Incredible: What? No. You're that kid from the fan club. Brophy-- Br-- Brody-- Bu-- BUDDY! Buddy...!
Young Buddy: My name is "IncrediBoy!"
Mr. Incredible: Look, I've been nice, I've stood for photos, signed every scrap of paper you pushed at me, but this is--
Young Buddy: No no no. You you don't have to worry about training me. I know all your moves, your crime-fighting style, favorite catch phrases, everything! I'm your #1 fan!
[Buddy is ejected from the Incrediblie, and the car speeds away.]
Young Buddy: Hey! Hey wait!
Guard: [shoots at an invisible Violet with his assault rifle] I know you're there, Little Miss Disappear! [Violet beats the guard with a stick while invisible. She then becomes visible, but the guard knocks her off her feet and gets back up cocking his gun. As Violet becomes invisible again, he shoots at her again. She jumps in a lake and tries to hide there while the guard keeps shooting at her with the rifle] You can't hide from me! [throws a handful of sand in the water. It swirls around where Violet must be, revealing her position] There you are!
Dash: [Runs fast past the guard knocking the gun out of his hands, and then punches the guard in the face] Don't Touch My Sister!
Mr. Incredible: I work alone.
Elastigirl: And I think you need to be more... [she goes through rapid series of stretch-power maneuvers] flexible.
Mr. Incredible: Uh, are you doing anything later?
Elastigirl: I have a previous engagement.
[Mr. Incredible confronts a French, mime-like French, clown-like super villain named Bomb Voyage.]
Mr. Incredible: Bomb Voyage!
Bomb Voyage: Monsieur Incroyable...! ["Mr. Incredible...!"]
Young Buddy: [offscreen] And IncrediBoy!
[Buddy has broke through the window.]
Bomb Voyage: (English accent:) "IncrediBoy?!"
Young Buddy: [flies up to Mr. Incredible, using rocket boots] Hey hey! Aren't you curious on how I get around so fast? [shows Mr. Incredible his rocket boots] See? I have these rocket boots. And they--
Mr. Incredible: Go home, Buddy.
Young Buddy: [quickly looks up at Mr. Incredible] What?
Mr. Incredible: Now.
Bomb Voyage: Petit naïf libe...! ["Little oaf...!"]
[Buddy looks at Bomb Voyage]
Young Buddy: Can we talk? [pulls Mr. Incredible off to the side] You always, always say, "Be true to yourself.", but you never say which part of yourself to be true to! Well I've finally figured out who I am! [walks up to Mr. Incredible] I am your ward: IncrediBoy!
Mr. Incredible: And now, you have officially carried it too far, Buddy. [grabs Bomb Voyage before he can escape]
Bomb Voyage: [loud grunt]
Young Buddy: This is because I don't have powers, isn't it?! Well not every superhero has powers, y'know! You can be super without them! I invented these. [points to his rocket boots] I can fly! Can you fly?
Mr. Incredible: Fly home, Buddy. I work alone.
Bomb Voyage: Et ton costume est complètement ridicule! ["And your outfit is totally ridiculous!"]
Young Buddy: Ju-ju-just gimme one chance! I-- I'll show you! I'll go get the police!
[Bomb Voyage has attached a bomb to Buddy's cape; Mr. Incredible notices]
Mr. Incredible: Buddy! No!
Young Buddy: It'll only take a second, really!
Mr. Incredible: No! Stop! [lets Bomb Voyage go] There's a bomb! [grabs onto Buddy's cape]
Mr. Incredible: [hands Buddy to the police] Take this one home. And make sure his mom knows what he's been doing.
Young Buddy: I can help you! You're making a mista-- [is shoved into a police car] Hey!
Mr. incredible: [to police officers] Now, the explosion in the bank was caused by a Bomb Voyage. Now, I think we might be able to nab him if we set up a perimeter--
Police Officer: Wait. You mean he got away?
Mr. Incredible: Uh-huh. [gestures to Buddy sitting angrily in the car] Skippy here made sure of that.
Young Buddy: IncrediBoy!
Mr. Incredible: You're not affiliated with--!
[Bob Parr arrives at the church for his wedding at the last second.]
Bob Parr: Hey, is the night still young?
Lucius Best: You're very late.
Bob Parr: How do I look? Good?
Lucius Best: Oh, the mask! You still got the mask.
Bob Parr: Showtime!
Minister: Robert Parr, will you have this woman to be your lawfully-wedded wife...
Helen Parr: [whispering] You're late. When you asked me if I was doing anything later, I didn't realize you'd actually forgotten. I thought it was playful banter.
Bob Parr: It was playful banter.
Helen Parr: Cutting it kind of close, don't you think?
Bob Parr: You need to be more flexible.
Helen Parr: I love you, but if we're gonna make this work, you gotta be more than Mr. Incredible. You know that., don't you?
Minister: ...for as long as you both shall live?
Bob Parr: [to Helen] I do.
Minister: I now pronounce this couple husband and wife.
Helen Parr: As long as we both shall live, no matter what happens.
Bob Parr: Hey, come on. We're superheroes. What could happen?
TV Announcer: In a stunning turn of events, a superhero is being sued for saving someone who, apparently, didn't want to be saved. The plaintiff, Oliver Sansweet, who was foiled in his attempted suicide by Mr. Incredible, has filed suit against the famed superhero in superior court.
Sanweet's Lawyer: Mr. Sansweet didn't ask to be saved, Mr. Sansweet didn't want to be saved! And the injuries received from Mr. Incredible's "Actions" so called, causes him daily pain!
Mr. Incredible: Hey, I saved your life!
Mr. Sansweet: You didn't save my life! You ruined my death! That's what you did!
Mr. Incredible: Listen, pal--
Lawyer: [restrains Bob] My client has no further comment at this time.
TV Announcer: Five days later, another suit was filed by the victims of the El-train accident. Incredible's court losses cost the government millions. And opened the floodgates for dozens of superhero lawsuits the world over.
Anti-Superhero Speaker: It is time for their secret identities to become their only identities. Time for them to join us or go away.
TV Announcer: Under tremendous public pressure and the crushing financial burden of an ever-mounting series of lawsuits, the government quietly initiated the Superhero Relocation Program. The supers will be granted amnesty from responsibility for past actions in exchange for the promise to never again resume hero work. Where are they now? They are living among us. Average citizens. Average heroes. Quietly and anonymously continuing to make the world a better place.
[Bob has authorized payment on an insurance policy thanks to the various loopholes in the system]
Mr. Huph: Paaaaaaaaar!!! [Bob gets startled] You authorized payment on the Walker policy?!
Bob Parr: Someone broke into their house, Mr. Huph. Their policy clearly covers--
Mr Huph: I don't wanna know about their coverage, Bob! Don't tell me about their coverage! Tell me how you're keeping Insuricare in the black! Tell me how that's possible, with you writing checks to every Harry Hardluck and Sally Sobstory that gives you a phone call! [Furiously storms out of Bob's office]
PA Voice: Morning break is over. Morning break is over. [Bob's pencil cup drops and spills on the floor]
[After Dash has been sent to the Principal's office]
Principal: I appreciate you coming down here, Mrs Parr.
Helen Parr: What's this all about? Has Dash done something wrong?
Bernie: [pompously] He's a disruptive influence, and he openly mocks me in front of the class.
Dash Parr: [sullenly] He says.
Bernie: Look, I know it's you! He puts thumbtacks on my stool! He puts thumb tacks on my stool.
Helen: You saw him do this?
Bernie: Well... no, actually not.
Helen: Oh - then how do you know it was him?
Bernie: [brandishes a videotape] I hid a camera. [Dash looks worried; Helen glares at Dash] And this time I got him. [Bernie plays the tape; which is a hidden camera of his classroom. If you look closely, on the tape, just as he is sitting down, a barely distinguishable blur passes between Dash's desk and Bernie's seat, and back, in less then a half second]
Bernie: You see?! You see? [Helen, Dash and the Principal squint at the camera, confused] What, you don't see it?
[Exasperated, he rewinds the tape and points at Dash, who moves imperceptibly]
Bernie: He moves! Right there! Wait, wait! Right there! Right as I'm sitting down! I dunno! I don't know how he does it, but there's no tack on my stool before he moves, and after he moves, there's a tack. Coincidence? I think NOT!
[Helen gives an incredulous and confusing look at the principal]
Principal: [Gently] Uh, Bernie...
Bernie: Don't "Bernie" me! [shrieking] THIS LITTLE RAT IS GUILTY!
Principal: [Resigned, apologetic] You and your son can go now, Mrs. Parr. I'm sorry for the trouble.
[Helen and Dash leave; once his back is turned, Dash grins triumphantly]
Bernie: You're letting him go again?! He's GUILTY! YOU CAN SEE IT ON HIS SMUG LITTLE FACE! [throwing a tantrum] GUILTY, I SAY! GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY! No!
[Helen closes the door, blotting out his voice]
Helen: Dash, this is the third time this year you've been sent to the office. We need to find a better outlet. A more constructive outlet.
Dash: [sullenly] Maybe I could, if you'd let me go out for sports.
Helen: Honey, you know why we can't do that.
Dash: But I promise I'll slow up! I'll only be the best by a tiny bit!
Helen: Dashell Robert Parr, you are an incredibly competitive boy. And a bit of a showoff. The last thing you need is temptations.
Dash: You always say, "Do your best," but you don't really mean it. Why can't I do the best that I can do?
Helen: Right now, honey, the world just wants us to fit in, and to fit in, we just gotta be like everybody else.
Dash: But Dad always said our powers were nothing to be ashamed of. Our powers made us special.
Helen: Everyone's special, Dash.
Dash: Which is another way of saying no one is.
Helen: Dash, you have something you want to tell your father about school?
Dash: [nervously] Well, we dissected a frog...
Helen: Dash got sent to the office again.
Bob: [distracted] Good, good.
Helen: No, Bob, that's bad.
Bob: What?
Helen: [slowly] Dash got sent to the office again.
Bob: What? What for?
Dash: Nothing.
Helen: He put a tack on the teacher's chair, during class.
Dash: Nobody saw me. You could barely even see it on the tape.
Bob: They caught you on tape and you still got away with it? Whoa! You must've been bookin'! How fast do you think you were going?
[Dash jumps excitedly 3 times in his chair]
Helen: Bob, we are not encouraging this!
Bob: I'm not encouraging, I'm just asking how fast he was going!
Helen: Honey!
[Breaks the plate and cuts into the table]
Bob: Great! First the car, now I gotta fix the table!
Helen: The car? What happened to the car?
Bob: Here, I'm getting a new plate.
[Bob Parr and Lucius Best, in ski masks, are rescuing people from a burning building.]
Bob: Can't you put this out?
Lucius: I can't lay down a layer thick enough! It's evaporating too fast!
Bob: Well, what's that mean?!
Lucius: It means it's hot, and I'm dehydrated, Bob!
Bob: You're out of ice?! You can't run out of ice! I thought you could use the water in the air!
Lucius: There is no water in this air! What's your excuse, run out of muscle?!
Bob: I can't just go smashing through walls! The building's getting weaker by the second, it's gonna come down on top of us!
Lucius: I WANTED TO GO BOWLING!
[as the cops burst into the jewelry store where Bob and Lucius are, Lucius reaches for a water cooler to replenish his freezing powers]
Cop: Freeze!
Lucius Best: I'm thirsty.
Cop: I said freeze!
Lucius Best: I'm just getting a drink. [takes the cup and drinks]
Cop: Okay, you had your drink. Now, I want you to...
Lucius Best: I know, I know. Freeze. [freezes the cop]


Bob Parr: But that's okay, because what's important is that Mommy and I are always a team. We're always united, against, uh, uh, the forces of, uh--
Helen Parr: Pig-headed-ness?
Bob Parr: Uh, I was gonna say, "Evil.".
Mr. Huph: Sit down, Bob. [Bob sits down, and Mr. Huph fixes one of his pencils to get back in line with the other pencils] I'm not happy, Bob. Not... happy. [gets off of his chair] Ask me why.
Bob Parr: Okay. Why?
Mr. Huph: "Why" what? Be specific, Bob.
Bob Parr: Why are you unhappy?
Mr. Huph: Your customers make me unhappy.
Bob Parr: What? You've gotten complaints?
Mr. Huph: Complaints I can handle. What I can't handle is your customers' inexplicable knowledge of Insuricare's inner workings! They're experts! EXPERTS, Bob! Exploiting every loophole, dodging every obstacle! They're penetrating the bureaucracy!
Bob Parr: Did I do something illegal?
Mr. Huph: [reluctantly] No.
Bob Parr: Are you saying we shouldn't help our customers?
Mr. Huph: [frustrated sigh] The law requires that I answer, "No.".
Bob Parr: We're supposed to help people!
Mr. Huph: We're supposed to help OUR people! Starting with our stockholders, Bob! Who's helping *them* out, huh?! [sighs, regaining control] You know, Bob... [straightens a document on the front of his desk] a company...
Bob Parr: [finishing Mr. Huph's sentence] ...is like an enormous clock.
Mr. Huph: --Is like an enormous cl-- yes! Precisely! It only works if all the little cogs mesh together! Now, a clock needs to be cleaned, well-lubricated, and wound tight. The best clocks have jewel movements, cogs that fit, that cooperate by design. [chuckles] I'm being metaphorical, Bob. You know what I mean by cooperative cogs? [Bob sees a man being mugged out of the window] Bob? Bob? [Grabs Bob by the chin] Look at me when I'm talking to you, Parr!
Bob Parr: That man out there. He needs help!
Mr. Huph: Do not change the subject, Bob! We're discussing your actions!
Bob Parr: He is getting mugged!
Mr. Huph: Well, let's hope we don't cover him!
Bob Parr: I'll be right back. [starts to leave]
Mr. Huph: Stop right now, or you're fired! [Bob stops, and Mr. Huph smiles evilly] Close the door. [Bob hesitantly closes the door] Get over here, now. [Bob releases his hand from the now-crushed doorknob, and stands before Mr. Huph] I'm not happy, Bob. Not happy. [Bob sees the mugger run off]
Bob Parr: [growing angrier through his teeth and growing sternly through his teeth] He got away.
Mr. Huph: Good thing, too! Heh! You were this close to losing your j-AAAGH! [Bob grabs Mr. Huph by the neck and throws him with enough strength that he bursts through five office walls, breaking half of the metal Insuricare logo. Everyone stares at him, astonished, through the holes in the walls]
Bob Parr: Uh-oh.

[Mr. Dicker is leaving Mr. Huph's room in the hospital, where all of Huph but his head is in a cast. Dicker looks at Bob and begins to walk away; Bob follows him.]

Bob Parr: Is he okay?
Dicker: He'll live.
Bob Parr: I'm fired, aren't I?
Dicker: Oh, you think?
Bob Parr: What can I say?
Dicker: Nothing you haven't said before.
Bob Parr: Someone was in trouble!
Dicker: Someone's always in trouble.
Bob Parr: I had to do something!
Dicker: Yeah, and every time you say those words it means a month and a half of trouble for me, Bob. It means hundreds of thousands of taxpayers' dollars. We gotta pay to keep the company quiet. We gotta pay damages. Erase memories, relocate your family- every time it gets harder. Money, money, money, money- we can't keep doing this, Bob! We appreciate what you did in the old days, but those days are over. From now on, you're on your own.
[Dicker walks inside an open elevator and the doors begin to close; changing his mind, he holds them open]
Dicker: Ah... listen, Bob. Maybe I could relocate you one more time. For old times' sake.
Bob Parr: No, I just got Helen and the kids settled in; I don't want us to have to move again. We'll find a way to make it work.
Dicker: Take care of yourself.
Bob Parr: What are you waiting for?
Boy on tricycle: I don't know, something amazing, I guess.
Bob Parr: Me too, kid.
Helen: Don't think you've gotten out of telling your father how you got into trouble, young man.
Dash: I'm not the only kid who's ever been sent to the office, you know.
Helen: Not all kids have superpowers. Now, it's perfectly normal-
Violet: Normal? What do you know about "normal"? What does anyone in this family know about "normal"?!
Helen: Now, look, young lady-!
Violet: We act normal, Mom; I want to be normal! The only normal one is Jack-Jack, and he's not even toilet-trained!
Jack-Jack: [Gurgles happily]
Dash: Lucky. [Helen gives him an odd look] I mean, about being normal.
Mirage: I've got to warn you, it's a learning robot. Every moment you spend fighting it only increases its knowledge of how to beat you.
Mr. Incredible: Shut it down, do it quickly, don't destroy it.
Mirage: And don't die.
Mr. Incredible: Great. Thanks.
Edna: [after inspecting Bob's old super-suit] This is a hobo-suit, darling! You can't be seen in this; I won't allow it! Fifteen years ago, maybe, but now--?
Bob: What are you talking about? You're the one who designed it!
Edna: I never look back, darling. It distracts from the now.
Edna Mode: It will be bold! Dramatic!
Bob Parr: Yeah!
Edna Mode: Heroic!
Bob Parr: Yeah. Something classic, like, like Dynaguy. Oh, he had a great look! Oh, the cape and the boots...
Edna Mode: [throws a wadded ball of paper at Bob's head] No capes!
Bob Parr: Isn't that my decision?
Edna Mode: Do you remember Thunderhead? Tall, storm powers? Nice man, good with kids.
Bob Parr: Listen, E--
Edna Mode: November 15th of '58! All was well, another day saved, when his cape snagged on a missile fin.
Bob Parr: [chuckles] Thunderhead was not the brightest bulb —
Edna Mode: Stratogale! April 23rd, '57! Cape caught in a jet turbine!
Bob Parr: E, you can't generalize about--
Edna Mode: [rapidfire] Metaman: express elevator! Dynaguy: snag on takeoff! Splashdown: sucked into a vortex! No capes! [calmer] Now do not worry, your new suit will be ready before your next assignment.
Bob Parr: You know I'm retired from hero work.
Edna Mode: As am I, Robert, yet here we are.
Bob Parr: E, I just need a patch-job. You know, for sentimental reasons.
Edna Mode: [exasperated; takes the old suit] Fine. I will also fix the hobo-suit.
Bob Parr: You're the best of the best, E!
Edna Mode: Yes, I know, darling. I know.
[Edna shows Helen the other suits she has created for the Parrs]
Edna Mode: I started with the baby.
Helen Parr: Started?
Edna Mode: Shh! Darling! Shh! I cut it a little roomy for the free movement. The fabric is comfortable for sensitive skin [flamethrowers throw fire at the suit without leaving burn marks], and can also withstand a temperature of over 1,000 degrees! Completely bulletproof... [machine guns train on the suit and empty rounds into it without causing any damage] and machine-washable, darling. That's a new feature.
Helen Parr: What on earth do you think the baby will be doing?!
Edna Mode: Well, I'm sure I don't know, darling. Luck favors the prepared. I didn't know the baby's powers, so I covered the basics.
Helen Parr: Jack-Jack doesn't have any powers.
Edna Mode: No? Well, he'll look fabulous anyway. [Edna moves on to Dash's suit] Your boy's suit I designed to withstand enormous friction without heating up or wearing out. A useful feature. [moves on to Violet's suit] Your daughter's suit was tricky. But I finally created a sturdy material that will disappear completely as she does. [Edna moves on to Helen's new suit] Your suit can stretch as far as you can, without injuring yourself [we see it being stretched like a piece of taffy], and still retain its shape. Virtually indestructible... yet it breathes like Egyptian cotton! As an extra feature, each suit contains a homing device, giving you the precise global location of the wearer at the touch of a button. [She hands Edna one showing the tracking location of Bob] Well, darling? What do you think?
Helen Parr: What do I think?! Bob is retired! I'm retired, our family is underground! You helped my husband resume hero-work behind my back?!
Edna Mode: Well I assumed you knew, darling! Why would he keep secrets from you?
Helen Parr: He wouldn't. Didn't-- D-Doesn't.
Edna Mode: [sighs] Men at Robert's age are often unstable. Prone to weakness.
Helen: There's plenty of leftovers you can reheat, make sure Dash does his homework, and both of you get to bed on time. I should be back tonight, late, you can be in charge that long, can't you?
Violet: Yeah, but why am I in charge, again?
Helen: Nothing. Just a little trouble with Daddy.
Violet: You mean Dad's in trouble, or Dad is the trouble?
Helen: I mean he's either in trouble, or he's going to be.
Violet: [referring to a supersuit that Dash grabbed from Helen] What makes you think it's special?
Dash: I don't know, but why'd Mom try to hide it?
[Helen emerges from her plane's restroom after changing into her superhero costume, and tosses her bag onto a supposedly empty seat. It lands on an invisible Violet.]
Violet: Ow!
Helen: [furious] Violet?!
Violet: [becomes visible] It's not my fault! Dash ran away and I knew I'd get blamed for it...
Dash: [pops up] THAT'S NOT TRUE!
Helen: Dash?!
Violet: [over Dash] ...And I thought he'd try to sneak on the plane so I came in...
Dash: [over Violet] You said, "Something's up with Mom, we have to find out what!"
Violet: ...And then you closed the doors before I could find him...
Dash: ...It was YOUR idea, YOUR idea!...
Violet: ...AND IT'S NOT MY FAULT!
Dash: ...100%, all-yours, all-the-time IDEA!
Helen: Wait a minute, wait a minute - you left Jack-Jack alone?!
Violet: [sarcastically] Yes, Mom, I'm completely stupid. Of course we got a sitter!...
Dash: [over Violet] No, we got someone, Mom! Somebody great! We wouldn't do that!
Violet: [over Dash] Do you think I'm totally irresponsible?! Thanks a lot!
[Mr. Incredible grabs Mirage after Syndrome lets the plane carrying his family blow up.]
Mr. Incredible: Release me! NOW!
Syndrome: Or what?
Mr. Incredible: I'll crush her.
Syndrome: That sounds a little dark for you. Eh, go ahead.
[Mirage stares at him in shock.]
Mr. Incredible: It'll be easy, like breaking a toothpick.
Syndrome: [chuckles] Show me. [Bob eventually lets go] I knew you couldn't do it. Even when you have nothing to lose! You're weak! And I've outgrown you!
Mirage: He's not weak, you know.
Syndrome: Huh?
Mirage: Valuing life is not weakness.
Syndrome: Oh, that? I just called his bluff, baby girl! That's all. I knew he couldn't do it.
Mirage: And disregarding it is not strength. [Gets up and shoves a set of files into Syndrome's hands] Next time you gamble- bet your OWN life!
Helen: I think your father is in trouble.
Violet: In case you didn't notice, Mom, we're not doing so hot either.
Helen: I'm going to look for him. And that means you're in charge until I get back, Violet.
Dash: What?!
Violet: [smugly] You heard her.
Helen: [hands them masks] Put these on. Your identity is your most valuable possession. Protect it. And if anything goes wrong, use your powers.
Violet: [confused] But you said never to use--
Helen: I know what I said! [sighs] Remember the bad guys on those shows you used to watch on Saturday mornings? [Dash and Violet nod excitedly] Well, these guys are not like those guys. [Their faces fall.] They won't exercise restraint because you're children. They will kill you if they get the chance. Do not give them that chance.
Violet: Mom?
Helen: Vi, I'm counting on you.
Violet: There's something I--
Helen: I'm counting on you. Be strong. Dash, if anything goes wrong, I want you to run as fast as you can.
Dash: [excited] As fast as I can?!
Helen: As fast as you can. Stay hidden. Keep each other safe. I'll be back by morning. [hugs them both and runs off]
Violet: What do you think is going on around here? You think we're on vacation or something? Mom and Dad's lives could be in jeopardy! Or worse...their marriage!
Dash: Their marriage?! So, the bad guys are trying to wreck Mom and Dad's marriage.
Violet: Oh, forget it. You're so immature.
[Violet creates a force-field "bubble" protecting herself and Dash from gunfire.]
Dash: How are you doing that?!
Violet: I don't know!
Dash: Whatever you do, don't stop! [starts running, causing the bubble to move with them]
[Syndrome has captured the Incredible family and is showing them news reports of the OmniDroid having crashed in the city]
Syndrome: Huh? Huh? Oh, come on! You gotta admit this is cool! Just like a movie! The robot withh emerge dramatically, do some damage! Throngs of screaming people! And, just when all hope is lost, Syndrome will save the day! I'll be a bigger hero than you ever were!
Mr Incredible: You mean you killed off real heroes so you could pretend to be one?!
Syndrome: Oh, I'm real, real enough to defeat you! And I did it without your precious gifts, your oh-so special powers. I'll give them heroics. I'll give them the most spectacular heroics anyone's ever seen! And when I'm old and I've had my fun, I'll sell my inventions so that everyone can be superheroes. Everyone can be super! And when everyone's super, no one will be.
Lucius: [Has just noticed the Omni-Droid rampaging through the city with a military helicopter chasing and shooting at it, but the bullets from it are not destroying the Omni-Droid. He checks where his suit should be; it is not there.] Honey?
Honey: What?
Lucius: Where's my super-suit?
Honey: What?!
Lucius: WHERE IS MY SUPER-SUIT?!
Honey: I, uh, put it away!
[Helicopter crashes outside the window]
Lucius: Where?!
Honey: Why do you need to know?!
[Lucius runs through the house apartment looking for his suit.]
Lucius: I need it!
Honey: Nuh-uh! Don't you think about runnin' off and doin' no derring-do! We've been plannin' this dinner for two months!
Lucius: The public is in danger!
Honey: My evening's in danger!
Lucius: YOU TELL ME WHERE MY SUIT IS, WOMAN! WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE GREATER GOOD!
Honey: "Greater good"?! I am your wife! I'm the greatest good you are ever gonna get!
Dash: Are we there yet?
Bob: We'll get there when we get there!
Helen: Great. Now our kids are in danger. I was afraid this would happen.
Bob: Well, if you thought there was going to be danger, why'd you bring them?
Helen: I didn't bring them! They stowed away! And I don't think you're striking the proper tone here!
[While driving towards the Omnidroid]
Bob: The robot's in the financial district. Which exit do I take?
Helen: Traction Avenue.
Bob: That'll take me downtown. I take Seventh, don't I?
Helen: DON'T TAKE SEVENTH!!!
Bob: Great! We missed it!
Helen: You asked me how to get there, and I told you! Exit at Traction!
Bob: That'll take me downtown!
Helen: It's coming up, get in the right lane! Signal!
Bob: We don't exit at Traction!
Helen: YOU'RE GONNA MISS IT!!!
[Bob roars in frustration and careens down the exit]
Bob: Wait here and stay hidden. I'm going in [to fight the Omnidroid].
Helen: While what, I watch helplessly from the sidelines? I don't think so.
Bob: I'm asking you to wait with the kids!
Helen: And I'm telling you, not a chance! You're my husband, I'm with you. "For better or worse."
Bob: I have to do this alone.
Helen: What is this to you? Playtime?
Bob: No.
Helen: So you can be Mr. Incredible again?
Bob: No!
Helen: Then what?
Bob: I'm not... I'm not strong enough!
Helen: "Strong enough"? And this will make you stronger?!
Bob: Yes-- No!
Helen: That's what this is, some sort of workout?!
Bob: [shakes her violently] I CAN'T LOSE YOU AGAIN! [pause] I can't. Not again. I'm not... strong enough.
Helen: [kisses him passionately] If we work together, you won't have to be.
Bob: I don't know what will happen.
Helen: Hey, we're superheroes. What could happen?
[Violet screams as the Omnidroid attacks]

[edit] Jack-Jack Attack

short feature with The Incredibles DVD
[Last-minute babysitter Kari turns to Jack-Jack in his highchair.]
Kari: [in baby talk] Now who's ready for some neurological stimulation?
[Kari tries to relax Jack-Jack from using his magical powers and plays flashcards.]
Kari: We're gonna calm things down a bit, and look at flashcards.
[Jack-Jack chews on the card and Kari pulls it out of his mouth.]
Kari: Won't that be fun?
[Jack-Jack chuckles happily.]
[Kari shows a flashcard with a triangle on it.]
Kari: [in baby talk] Triangle!
[Jack-Jack makes a triangle with his hand and baby sounds.]
Kari: Good.
[Kari shows a flashcard with a house on it.]
Kari: House!
[Jack-Jack makes a triangle with his hand and baby sounds.]
Jack-Jack: [in baby talk] Da-da!
Kari: Good.
[Kari shows a flashcard with a campfire on it.]
Kari: Campfire.
[Jack-Jack explodes into flame.]
[Syndrome, in costume, arrives at the Parr home.]
Kari: [nervously answering the door] Yes?
Syndrome: Is this the, uh, Parr's residence?
Kari: [manically] Yes! I'm Kari, the babysitter!!
Syndrome: [disturbed] Well... hello, Kari.
Kari: You're my replacement, thank heavens you've come! [notices Syndrome's costume] What does the "S" stand for?
Syndrome: For… s-s-s… sitter! Yeah, sitter. Heh. Originally, I was gonna have initials for "baby sitter", but then I would have been going around wearing a big "B.S.", and [laughing] you understand why I couldn't go with that!
[Cut to Agent Dicker's interrogation of Kari.]
Dicker: And you believed him.
Kari: The baby was exploding! You even sat an exploding baby before, Mr. Dicker?! [Dicker gets out a device] What's that?
Dicker: Did you tell anybody about this? Your parents?
Kari: Oh, they thought I was being funny. But you believe me, don't you, Mr. Dicker?
Dicker: Sure do, kid.
Kari: Y'know, sometimes I wish I could forget the whole thing.
Dicker: You will, kid. [a suction-cup from the device suddenly attaches itself to Kari's head, wiping her memory] You will.

Syndrome: Wait, why did you jump? Are you afraid of omnidroids? MY OMNIDROIDS? Svetlana (Miss Incredible): Yes, Syndrome! I AM afraid of omnidroids. Syndrome: Just think of my omnidroids as crime fighters. Crime fighters come up unexpectadly.
