Dialogue

[The mini movie begins in a close-up of Megamind's face as the camera pulls back away from him]

Megamind: [first lines] Citizens of Metrocity, long have I waited to give you your just desserts. Prepare to face the unbridled wrath of… my fantastic bargains! [raises his arms to the multiple screens showing a logo reading "Evil Lair Yard Sale", then laughs. The crowd cheers] Welcome! Welcome, citizens of Metrocity, to the Evil Lair Yard Sale! As you know, this is my first day as defender of Metrocity. And now that I'm no longer evil, I no longer need things that do evil. [gives a boy a teddy bear which sprouts metal spikes and its eyes glow blue. On its mouth, two smaller spikes resemble pointed teeth]

Boy: A Terror Teddy. Awesome!

Megamind: Excellent choice. Now, let the browsing commence! Minion, we're gonna need more petty cash. [Minion approaches with something hiding behind a chalkboard] Uh, what's behind there, Minion?

Minion: Hmm, nothing.

[A large spider-like robot with nine red eyes knocks the chalkboard away]

Megamind: Aha! I knew it!

Minion: Please, please, please. Can't we just keep the spider-bot?

Megamind: Minion, heroes don't drive around in creepy spee-ider-bots.

[The spider-bot sadly stalks away]

Minion: See? Now you've hurt its feelings. Spider-bot, come here.

[Megamind does a face-palm as Minion tries to call Spider-bot. A boy in a blue shirt plays with Megamind's dehydration gun as if pretending to shoot lasers]

Damien's Mom: Damien, we don't play with laser guns.

Damien: Come on, Mom!

Damien's Mom: Put it back this instant!

Megamind: Madame, he's merely expressing himself. [Damien blows a raspberry at his mother] Hahahaha! Besides, it's not a laser gun, it's a dehydration… [Blue light from the gun shoots onto Damien's mother, turning her into a small glowing cube] …gun. [Looking down at the cube, he picks it up] Uh, just soak her in some water, not the toilet. She'll be fine. [gives Damien the cube]

Damien: That's so cool.

Megamind: Yes. Uh, free donuts with every billion-dollar purchase!

[After Megamind sells all of his evil stuff to the citizens of Metro City]

Megamind: Fantastic. The place is already looking less evil.

Minion: Sir. Now that we've got rid all of your "evil things", how are we gonna protect Metro City?

---

[After Minion found a box with a red button, Megamind presses it and the box hovers. The button changes to a holographic device]

Megamind: Whoops!

Minion: Oh, dear.

[A projection shows Megamind's head]

Projection Megamind Head: Greetings, hero. You've just unleashed an unspeakable evil upon Metrocity, and you're really, really not gonna like it.

---

[After the Megamind projection head activated a giant robot resembling the real Megamind]

Megamind: Don't move. I think I remember what it is. It's my favorite! [he and Minion look over at the robot] It's the Mega-Megamind.

Mega-Megamind: Ollo!

Megamind: I transferred my evil personality into a giant robot. Man, I do good work.

Minion: Really terrific stuff, but we should probably turn it off.

[From its point of view, the Mega-Megamind looks down at Megamind and Minion]

Mega-Megamind: White suit, white cape. If it isn't my old friend, Metro Man.

[Words reading "Metro Man: Identified" and "Destroy" appear on Megamind, who looks confused. Question marks appear on Minion]

Minion: Haha! He thinks you're Metro Man.

Megamind: Well, I am defender of Metrocity now. This is the perfect time for me to debut my super-suit.

---

Mega-Megamind: Are you a chicken? Bok, bok, bok, bok, bok!

---

Megamind: Oh, we're in trouble, Minion! I programmed it never to stop until it eliminates a hero! It's out there, searching for me.

Mega-Megamind: Where are you, hero?

Minion: Is it searching for me too?

Mega-Megamind: And your mysterious, who's dressed as Minion for some reason?

[Minion ducks down]

Megamind: But don't worry, we can live in here from now on. The Brain-bots can bring us snacks.

Minion: Sir, that is crazy. We're gonna have to face this thing eventually.

---

Megamind: OK, Minion, on my marco.

Mega-Megamind: I hate spee-iders. [grunts]

Megamind: Marco! [The Mega-Megamind launches Spider-bot with Megamind]

Minion: Polo! [activates the death ray]

Mega-Megamind: OH, NO!

[The Mega-Megamind is blown up. Megamind laughs victoriously and watches the explosion]

Megamind: Goodbye, old me.

[Back in the lair, Minion smiles proudly]

Minion: We did it! We did it!

Megamind: Yes, we did, Minion. Now, let's go get the rest of our evil stuff back.

[Spider-bot trots back to the lair. Nighttime, in an apartment, several kids have a party with a banner reading "No More School!" with a drawing of Damien. Nearby, their parents, now dehydrated cubes, sit in a glass bowl on a small table]

Boy #1: No more school! [digs his face into a cake]

Boy #2: We're free!

Girl #1: No parents!

Girl #2: Food fight!

Girl #3: Freedom!

[A boy writes "Booger" with a smiley face on top with a blue crayon on the wall]

Boy #3: Booger! Hahahaha!

[Holding Megamind's dehydration gun, Damien gazes at the cubes]

Damien: With our parents dehydrated, we can rule Metro City!

Kids: Yay!

Damien: Yes!

[Suddenly, the door bursts open, and Megamind and Minion enter. The kids gasp]

Megamind: Not today or any other day, my sugar-fueled friend.

[Damien looks worried as Megamind and Minion loom over him]

Damien: Oh, my goodness.

Minion: I'll take that. Thank you very much. [With his robotic hand seen on the camera, he takes the dehydration gun from Damien]

Megamind: I'd normally cart your heinies downtown, and I have a feeling that your parents will offer you a far more severe punishment. A glass of water, Minion, if you please. [Holding the glass bowl in one hand and a glass of water in the other, he smirks at Damien. The kids gasp]

Kids: [slow-motion] No!!

[In slow-motion, some of the kids run as one dehydrated cube falls into the glass of water, while a girl braces herself. Just before Damien can catch it, the cube bursts into brilliant white light. Later, Megamind and Minion exit the apartment]

Minion: Well, sir, the weapons of justice are back where they belong. [hands Megamind his dehydration gun]

Megamind: Let's just hope the city is ready for me.

Minion: I say it is, sir.

Megamind: Look! [They see a light shining in the sky with Megamind's logo] They made me my own signal!

Minion: "Us." They made us our own signal. [sobs]

Megamind: Oh! Pull yourself together, Minion! Now, make a note. It needs to be a lot bigger.

Minion: Yes, sir.

Megamind: Let's go patrol, heroically!

Megamind and Minion: YAY!

[They get into the invisible car and drive off]

Megamind: Oh, what fun!
