Gru

• [to his son, Gru Jr.] I know you love your dada. Go on, say it. "Dada. Da-da."
• The most important part of a heist is being aware of potential dangers.
• Please, Junior. Daddy needs to steal a honey badger.
• I'll hit him with this. Once he's knocked out, we'll open the cage. That fuzzy demon will sleep like a baby.
• [screams] I tranqed myself!

Lucy

• * [Gru: "I know you love your dada. Go on, say it. 'Dada. Da-da.'"] Of course he loves you. He just doesn't show it on his face... or even his body language.

Poppy

• Hello, Gru. It is I, Poppy Prescott, villainess.
• You used to be a master villain.
• Oh, don't worry, I'm not going to expose you, because you're going to help me pull a heist. We start planning tomorrow.
• I plan on being a lot better than you.
• I don't respect boomers. I just mock them.
• Like you, I was born to be bad.

Le Mal

• I'm unstoppable!
• I'm coming for my revenge, Gru!
• Regular unleaded? Wow, it is expensive, no?
• It's always something, I can never focus on just being evil.
• Did you think I was going to look like a born loser with a dad bod?
