[edit] Edna Mode
- 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. [several guns appear and point at Helen] And guest. [guns withdraw]
- 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!
- He attempts to relive the past.
- 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] 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.
- 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!
- [about Dash's graduation] It is not a graduation. He's moving from the 4th grade to the 5th grade.
- Reliving the glory days is better than acting like they never happened!
- 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.
- [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!
[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?!
- 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?!
- Island approach, India-Golf Niner-Niner checking in, VFR on top, over. Island Tower, this is India-Golf Niner-Niner, requesting vectors to the initial, over. [Helen hailing Nomanisan]
- India-Golf Niner-Niner, transmitting in the blind guard — disengage, repeat, disengage! Disengage, repeat disengage! Friendlies at two-zero miles south-southwest of your position, angels 10, track east, over!
- Mayday! Mayday! India-Golf Niner-Niner is buddy-spiked! Abort-abort, there are children aboard this airplane! Abort-abort-abort! Abort-abort!! [Helen desperately hails Nomanisan, explosion]
- [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.
- [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.
- 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.
- Aw - now... that ain't right!
- We look like bad guys! Incompetent bad guys!
- [Police officer points his gun at Bob and Lucius] Police Officer: FREEZE!
- [Lucius gets an idea and picks up a cup and starts filling it with water]
- Police officer: FREEZE!
- I'm thirsty.
- Police officer: I SAID FREEZE!
- I'm just getting a drink.
- [Lucius drinks the water from the cup]
- Police Officer: All right! You've had your drink! Now, I want you to--
- I know, I know. Freeze! [freezes the police officer]
- I wanted to go bowling!
[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!
[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!
[edit] Syndrome (Buddy Pine / IncrediBoy)
- 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'm sorry.] See? Now you respect me, because I'm a threat. 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.
- 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!
- 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.
- 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!
- [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 abilites.
- 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.
[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 Incredible, and the car speeds away.]
- Young Buddy: Hey! Hey wait!
- Guard: [Shooting at an invisible Violet with his assault rifle] I know you're there Little Miss Disappear!
- Violet: [Beating 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.]
- Guard: [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 villain named Bomb Voyage.]
- Mr. Incredible: Bomb Voyage!
- Bomb Voyage: Monsieur Incroyable...!
- 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 *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 completely 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 ME!
- [Bob Parr arrives at the church for his wedding at the last second.]
- Bob: Hey, is the night still young?
- Lucius: You're very late.
- Bob: How do I look? Good?
- Lucius: Oh, the mask! You still got the mask.
- Bob: Showtime!
- Minister: Robert Parr, will you have this woman to be your lawfully-wedded wife?
- Helen: [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: It was playful banter.
- Helen: Cutting it kind of close, don't you think?
- Bob: You need to be more flexible.
- Helen: I love you, but if we're gonna make this work, you gotta be more than Mr. Incredible. You know that.
- 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 Mr. Incredible] My client has no further comment at this time.
- Mr. Huph: PAAAAAAAAAAAARR!!! [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 I-- I-- 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! [storms out of Bob's office in a huff]
Voice: Morning break is over. Morning break is over. [Bob's pencils drop on the floor]
- [After Dash has been sent to the Principal's office]
- Helen: What's this all about? Has Dash done something wrong?
- Principal: Well--
- Bernie "Bernard": [Pompously] He's a disruptive influence, and he openly mocks me in front of the class.
- Dash: [Sullenly] He says.
- Bernie: Look, I know it's you! He puts thumbtacks 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: [Brandishing a videotape] I hid a camera! [Dash looks worried; Helen glares at Dash] And this time I got him!
- [Bernie plays the tape; as he is sitting down, a barely distinguishable blur passes between Dash's desk and Bernie's seat]
- Bernie: He moves! Right there! [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: Right - right there! No; right - there! Right as I'm sitting down! I dunno! I dunno 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!
- [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: [slyly] 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: Dashiell 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: Dad always said our powers were nothing to be ashamed of. Our powers made us special.
- Helen: Everyone's special, Dash.
- Dash: [sullenly] Which is another way of saying no one is.
- 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 had a tape, and you still got away with it? Whoa! You must've been bookin'! How fast do you think you were going?
[Dash jumps 3 times in chair]
- Helen: Bob, we are not encouraging this!
- [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!
- Bob: 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: Pig-headed-ness?
- Bob: 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]
- Mr. Huph: 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 lnsuricare'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] Forgive me if I'm being metaphorical, Bob. You know what I mean by cooperative cogs? [Bob sees man being mugged out of 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 door] Get over here, *now*. [Bob releases his hand from the now-crushed door knob, and stands before Mr. Huph] I'm not happy, Bob. Not happy. [Bob sees the mugger run off]
- Bob Parr: [sternly, through his teeth] He got away.
- Mr. Huph: Good thing, too. Heh! You were this close to losing your j-- AAAGH!
- [Bob strangles Mr. Huph and throws him through 5 offices, also breaking half of the metal Insuricare logo. Everyone stares at him, astonished, through the holes in the walls.]
- Bob Parr: Uh-oh.
- Bob Parr: What are you waiting for?
- Boy on tricycle: I don't know, something amazing, I guess.
- Bob Parr: Me too, kid.
- Violet Parr: Normal? What do you know about "normal"? What does anyone in this family know about "normal"? We act normal, Mom; I want to be normal! The only normal one is Jack-Jack, and he's not even toilet-trained!
- Dash Parr: Lucky--I meant 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: No capes.
- Bob: Isn't that my decision?
- Edna: Do you remember Thunderhead? Tall, storm powers? Nice man, good with kids.
- Bob: Listen, E--
- Edna: November 15th of '58! All was well, another day saved, when his cape snagged on a missile fin.
- Bob: [chuckles] Thunderhead was not the brightest bulb —
- Edna: Stratogale! April 23rd, '57! Cape caught in a jet turbine!
- Bob: E, you can't generalize about--
- Edna: [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: You know I'm retired from hero work.
- Edna: As am I, Robert, yet here we are.
- Edna: I started with the baby.
- Helen: Started?
- Edna: Shh! Darling! Shh! I cut it a little roomy for the free movement. The fabric is comfortable for sensitive skin, and can also withstand a temperature of over 1000 degrees. Completely bulletproof. And machine washable, darling. That's a new feature.
- Helen: What on earth do you think the baby will be doing?!
- Edna: 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: Jack-Jack doesn't have any powers.
- Edna: No? Well, he'll look fabulous anyway.
Your boy's suit I designed to withstand enormous friction without heating up or wearing out. A useful feature. Your daughter's suit was tricky. But I finally created a sturdy material that will disappear completely as she does. Your suit can stretch as far as you can, without injuring yourself, 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. Well, darling? What do you think?
- 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: Heh, show me. [Bob eventually lets go] I knew you couldn't do it. Even when you have nothing to lose. You are weak! And I've outgrown you!
- 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]
- 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, and is looking for his suit]Honey?
- Honey: What?
- Lucious: Where's my super-suit?
- Honey: What?!
- Lucius: WHERE-IS-MY-SUPER-SUIT?!
- Honey: I, uh, put it away!
- [Helicopter crashes litterally and blows up in Lucius' face]
- 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!
- 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.]

- Kari: [nervously answering the door] Yes?

- Kari: [Manically] Yes! I'm Kari, the babysitter!!
- Syndrome: 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?! 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.
