The Bad Guys

[edit]

Mr. Wolf

[edit]
  • [from trailer] When it came to being bad, we were pretty good. Who am I kidding? We're the best.
  • I am never driving another car ever again…! [smash cut to him driving in a more tacky and rundown vehicle in the present]
  • Things sure have changed. Not everyone believes it, but The Bad Guys went good. And we cannot wait for society to welcome us with open arms!
  • [Craig: And now you wanna work at a bank?] Why not? Some of my best memories are at banks. [Craig: Uh, you robbed us 3 times.] [Beat] That was this bank?
  • You say the naughtiest things.
  • [from trailer] Maybe you don't keep up with the news, but we're good now.
  • Alright, Mr. Master of Disguise, you're up.
  • Trust me, there's a difference. Respect is earned. One day you'll learn that.
  • We need to show the world we're good.
  • You're about to discover why they call me the big bad wolf!
  • First time for everything, right?
  • Like you said: It's not the action, it's the distraction.
  • Not bad. Not bad at all.

Mr. Snake

[edit]
  • [Webs: Is she your hostage?] No. She's my girlfriend.
  • I'm late for vinyasa. [Shark: Vinyasa?] You think I got this body by sitting around watching TV?
  • [after he gets tied into a balloon animal by Pigtail; sarcastically] Great.
  • We brought you a little parting gift.
  • [after Susan reveals herself as Doom] You're the perfect woman! She out-snaked a snake! If that's not true love, well… well, then I don't know what true love is.
  • Vinyasa, baby!
  • You're not nervous, right? 'Cause we know what happens when you're nervous.
  • Stop farting, you maniac!

Mr. Piranha

[edit]
  • [from trailer] So you're like the Bad Girls.
  • Sounds kind of made-up.
  • Why is she in his mouth?!
  • So, are we bad again?
  • Tear him apart limb by limb until all he can remember is pain!
  • [farts] Sorry. Sorry, nerves.
  • Stay with me, papo! Stay with me!

Mr. Shark

[edit]
  • [Wolf: What?! What was that?!] I panicked, okay?! I'm a panicker!
  • Insult me next!
  • I'm a little rusty, but I promise to play you respectfully. [in Italian accent] Mamma mia! Where's-a my flowers-a? Prego! Cappuccino! Extra grande!
  • WELCOME!!! WELCOME TO THIS BEAUTIFIUS, MAJESTACULAR, INCREDIMONIUS OCCASION! WHOOOOO!!!
  • One of your size, and one of my size!
  • You ever been deboned by a chicken?

Ms. Tarantula / "Webs"

[edit]
  • How are supposed to get a fresh start if no one would trust us?
  • Name's Webs. I'll be your hacker today.
  • We're classy like that.
  • It's like a freaking fairy tale.
  • Are you kidding me?! Lefty-loosey, righty-tighty.

The Bad Girls

[edit]

Kitty Kat

[edit]
  • Once upon a time, there was a big bad "wuff".
  • They call me the Phantom Bandit, but you can call me Kitty Kat. I think you've met my girls.
  • We need the bad guys for the biggest heist in history!
  • [from trailer] I'm not exactly asking.
  • You know, you think they're one thing but it turns out they're something else entirely.
  • Let me rephrase the question. Play along, and Diane's secret is safe. Or don't, and you, Diane, the good life, it all comes crashing down. What'll it be?

Doom / Susan

[edit]
  • You talk pretty tough for a mango with teeth.
  • You're a grumpy little snakey-wakey.
  • You should have taken the mint, Whiskers. [shoots her dart gun at Wolf in the nose, making him pass out]
  • It's just business.

Pigtail

[edit]
  • [after she frames the Bad Guys by clicking the belt on Piranha] Good luck getting out of this one, Bad Guys.
  • Hello! [Webs: Holy shrimp!] I'm Pigtail! It was great honor to kick the butts of my heroes. The butts were even greater than in my dreams.
  • Big crime nerd!
  • Initiating backwards counting.

Diane Foxington

[edit]
  • [Wolf: I'm sorry, did you say you were the CRIMSON PAW?!?!] [kicks him] Sorry, I didn't quite catch that.
  • I'm more of an action girl.

Police Commissioner Misty Luggins

[edit]
  • I'm keeping my eye on you guy— [gets karate-chopped unconsciously by Shark]

Dialogue

[edit]
[5 years prior; Wolf drives the Bad Guys with their newly stolen getaway car, with Webs on her first heist with them. Wolf drives recklessly through the side streets of Cairo to avoid the police]
Webs: Do you always drive like this?!
Wolf: Only when it's strictly necessary.
Snake: And it's always necessary.
[Wolf and Diane spar in her private gym, doing boxing practice]
Wolf: I'd be happier if I could land... [throws a few punches, which Diane dodges] one of these jobs.
Diane: First impressions are hard to shake. [dodges a few more of Wolf's punches] Ooo, that was quick! [shoves Wolf back] I mean, when I first met you, I thought you were arrogant, self-satisfied...[does a spinning leg sweep, knocking Wolf over, but catching him by his chest pad before he falls] dishonest... [chuckles] Greedy, for sure. [shoves Wolf back to where he stumbles into a punching dummy]
Wolf: Oh, yeah? What changed your mind?
Diane: What do you mean? [walks to the nearby bench with a smirk, taking a drink from her water bottle and toweling off]
Wolf: Ha-ha-ha, very funny. Seriously, it's hard to stay positive when we're being rejected. It makes you feel, I don't know, hopeless.
Diane: [tosses the water bottle to Wolf to drink out of] Going good was the hardest thing that I ever did, and compared to you guys, I had it easy. [whispers to Wolf] No one ever knew I was the Crimson Paw.
Wolf: [whispers back] I'm sorry, did you say you were the... [shouts out loudly, to Diane's horror] CRIMSON PAW-!!!
Diane: Hey! [promptly kicks Wolf across the gym, into a pile of gym mats] Sorry, I didn't quite catch that.
Wolf: [chuckles and pulls off his protective gear] Okay, you asked for it. You're about to discover why they call me The Big Bad WO-
[cuts to Wolf lying on a locker room bench with a black eye, Diane putting an ice pack on it.]
Diane: ...I think I got carried away. [smirks]
Wolf: [referring to his black eye] I don't think this is gonna help with my interviews.
Diane: I don't know, I think it's cute. Gives you character.
Wolf: Oh, do I have a concussion, or is the governor flirting with me?
Diane: Can't it be both?
Wolf: Hmmm...
[Wolf and Diane start to lean in together, then their fingers brush against one another, which causes both of them to separate]
Wolf: Uh...
Diane: Oh! Uh...
Wolf: Sorry, I shouldn't have...
Diane: Oh, no, no, no. I–I didn't really, um...
Wolf: Uh, yeah, cause you're the governor, and I'm, you know...
Diane: An–an ex-con.
Wolf: Yeah.
Diane: I know, it's optics. [chuckles awkwardly]
Wolf: Totally.
Diane: Let's just...
Wolf: Yeah, let's...
Diane and Wolf: Keep it friendly.
[Their hands quickly separate]
Luggins: [Misty Luggins enters the police stations and starts barking orders] I want answers! Get me security footage, scour the phone logs, and WHERE'S MY COFFEE??!! [she's given her coffee]
Offscreen Person: Uh, Commissioner?
Luggins: Not now!
Offscreen Person: But you have a visitor.
Luggins: They can wait!
Offscreen Person: Uh, but he's, uh...
[Luggins enters her office to find Wolf in there examining her evidence board]
Wolf: [spins around in his chair to greet Luggins while putting on her police hat] Hey-hey, Chief!
[Luggins is so surprised she spits and chokes on her coffee]
Wolf: Can I just say: love the bangs.
Luggins: First off, it's "Commissioner" now! And second... [while she says this, she slams her coffee cup on the table and removes her hat from Wolf's head]
Wolf: Ooh, nice. What's the difference?
Luggins: Well, the chief is the top uniformed officer, whereas-- Why am I explaining this to you?! [she gasps when she sees Wolf has removed a picture from her evidence board so she takes it from him and tries to fix the board] Did you touch my board?! My board. My beautiful board.
Wolf: Oh, I'm sorry. I thought I heard it say, [in a high-pitched voice] "Solve me."
Luggins: [grunts angrily and turns to face Wolf while keeping her hands on the evidence board] Wolf.
Wolf: Listen, I think we're both having an "optics" problem: You need to show the world you've got this investigation under control, and we need to show the world we're good. If I help you catch the Bandit, it's a win-win.
Luggins: I'm calling the governor!
Wolf: Go ahead. It was basically her idea. [Luggins angrily growls] Look at this. Each of the robberies occurred within a three-minute window.
Luggins: So?
Wolf: Three minutes is the loop rate of most standard security consoles, which means whoever did this...
Luggins: Patched into the security from the inside.
Wolf: Bingo.
Luggins: [groans in frustration] Fine. Let's say they did. How would we even trace that? We'd need some kind of hi-tech computer expert!
[Wolf smirks. Scene cuts to Webs looking over Luggins' board]
Webs: They'd have had to clone the IP address and redirect the feed to a 4 gigahertz dummy console, duh!
Luggins: ...Huh?
Webs: Your Bandit is clever. But not as clever as he thinks he is.
Wolf: However, he'd still need an inside man.
[Cuts to Shark joining in, looking over the board as well.
Shark: Hmmm...[takes Luggins' coffee from her hands]
Luggins: Hey!
Shark: [takes a sip of coffee and hands it back to Luggins] Hold this. [walks up to the board and looks closer, then points to a picture] There!
Luggins: That? That's just the janitor.
Shark: Perhaps to the untrained eye, but if he's really "just the janitor"...[takes the picture from the board and shows it to Luggins] Why is he pushing around an empty bucket, HMMMMMMMMMM?
Wolf: So, the real question is: How did he get in?
[Cuts to now Piranha looking at the HVAC layout, munching on a burrito]
Piranha: [draws his route] I'd come this way, then jam the fan, pop the grate, and bam, you're in. Ugh, ah...[pulls a pickle out of his mouth] Why is there pickles in this?
Luggins: [fuming] Because that's my lunch. Who said you could eat my lunch?!
Piranha: [points to Wolf] Well, he said there was lunch.
Wolf: Chief, come on, let's focus. So, we know when and we know how.
Shark: The real question is...WHY?
Wolf: Whoa! That was close. [gasps when he sees Luggins]
Other Bad Guys: AAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
Luggins: Stop this truck, now!
Susan: Hold on, folks!
[In the interior of a dilapidated hanger, the Bad Guys are slowly beginning to gain consciousness after they had passed out, only to find that they are strapped to chairs.]
Wolf: [groans softly]
Piranha: Where... where are we?
Webs:: What's... happening?
[As the rest of the crew gets their bearings, the sound of chains rattling gets their attention and their slight fear.]
Kitty Kat: Once upon a time... [everyone turns to see Kitty behind them, pulling on chains near a giant melting furnace] ...there was a big, BAD wolf. Ooh, love that guy. What a character! [takes off her safety equipment as she walks toward them) He's the one who challenges the status quo, who takes the big chance! Without him... shoot, I don't even think we have a story. [takes off her apron) And they call him the villain. Kinda backwards, don't you think?
Wolf: [confused] Do I know you?
Kitty Kat: They call me the Phantom Bandit. Nice ring to it, I guess. [sits on the table] But you can call me... Kitty Kat. I see you've met my girls.
[Pigtail jumps into view beside Webs and Shark.]
Pigtail: Hello!
Webs:: Holy shrimp!
Pigtail: [gestures to her nametag on her overalls] I'm Pigtail. It was great honor to kick the butts of my heroes. The butts were even greater than my dreams. [chuckles]
Kitty Kat: [chuckles] She's a huge fan.
Pigtail: [gives thumbs up] Big crime nerd.
Piranha: Thanks... I think. [the others glance at him]
[Soon, they all look up to see Susan glancing down at them from the rafters.]
Piranha: Oh, hey, Susan!
Susan (whose actual name is Doom): Actually… [tosses her knife down, which pierces the back of Snake's chair; flies down from the rafters right down to Snake] It's Doom. [pulls the knife out] Susan is an alias. [walks away]
Snake: [looks visibly hurt] You lied to me.
Piranha: That's alright, papito.
Snake: Played me!
Shark: Not cool, man.
Snake: Betrayed me!
Doom: Hey. Hey, listen. It's just business.
Snake: You're...
Shark: Shady.
Snake: You're...
Shark: Shady.
Webs:: Let it out, buddy.
Snake: [as "Crimson & Clover" by Tommy James plays, completely smitten] You are the perfect woman! She out-snaked a snake! If that's not true love, well... well, then I don't know what true love is.
[song ends]
Wolf: Snake... [sighs, stammers before dropping the subject] Okay. Kitty, y-you mind telling us what we're doing here?
Kitty Kat: [unwraps a red lollipop] Cutting to the chase. I like it. We're planning something big. Only problem: It's too big for the three of us.
Pigtail: You need work, we need extra hands.
Doom: Professionals, you know? With a specific set of skills.
Kitty Kat: One... last... job. [walks in front of Wolf] Whatcha say?
Wolf: [chuckles] What do we say? No, uh, is the short answer. But, well, we're flattered. But, uh, the thing is, you know...
Shark: We're good now!
Piranha: Yeah. We don't steal stuff anymore.
Wolf: Yeah, so if you can just, you know, untie us, and, uh, we'll let ourselves out. And we can just call it a noche, okay?
Kitty Kat: [laughs, and soon, the Bad Guys start laughing with her... that is, until Kitty turns and slams her hands into the metal table, causing all laughter to cease. Then, after a moment, she speaks up again, smacking her lips] You know what? I love the red ones.
[Doom uses her knife to cut down a rope, letting a tarp come down from the ceiling]
Kitty Kat: Is it cherry? Is it strawberry? I'm not really sure. I can never tell. It's kind of like people, you know?
[Webs sees Pigtail putting an USB drive into her laptop, and a projector comes on, causing Wolf and Snake to glance at each other]
Kitty Kat: You think they're one thing, but it turns out they're something else entirely.
[As everyone looks toward the screen, they find that the Bad Girls have somehow obtained video evidence of the Crimson Paw stealing the Golden Dolphin from the last film, and the Crimson Paw removing her hood to reveal that she is indeed Diane.]
Wolf: [horrified] Diane...
Shark: [gasps] She knows. [the other Bad Guys have the same horrified look on their faces]
Kitty Kat: Can you imagine if this got out?
Doom: The governor's secret past as the Crimson Paw? Whew! Talk about a scandal.
Pigtail: [scoffs] She will be in the hot bubble water.
Kitty Kat: So... [Doom kicks over a chair, and Kitty sits in front of Wolf] Let me rephrase the question. Play along, and Diane's secret is safe. Or don't, and you, Diane, the good life... it all comes crashing down. What'll it be?
[Wolf looks back up at the video footage for a moment, knowing that there is no possible situation where the outcome is good before he eventually lowers his head and closes his eyes before speaking again.]
Wolf: ...All right, hot sauce. What's the job?
[Kitty opens the door to the hanger as everyone, including the Bad Guys, who have been untied, walks out into the open and stops at the edge of a cliff.]
Kitty Kat: [gestures to something in the distance] That's the job.
Snake: Whoa...
Shark: [gasps]
Wolf: Wow.
[Pans out to reveal the target of the Bad Girls' job-- the Moon-X rocket at the nearby launch site.]
Piranha: [whistles]
Shark: That's the Moon-X rocket!
Webs: Seriously?
Doom: You better believe it, girl.
Pigtail: Why steal a car when you can steal a big, jumbo rocket ship?
Shark: [to Wolf] I think she's serious.
Snake: Why would you want to steal a rocket?
Kitty Kat: A heist is never just about the loot. Isn't that right, Wolf?
Wolf: [remembers what he told Webs five years prior] It's a power move.
Kitty Kat: Exactly. [wraps an arm around Wolf and ruffles the fur on his head] You get it-- he gets it!
Pigtail: [laughs]
Kitty Kat: All right, now, come on. [removes her arm from around Wolf] We've got work to do.
Wolf: [adjusts his collar as the Bad Girls head back to the hanger] And after that, we're square, right? You're gonna give us the video?
Kitty Kat: [still walking away, holds up the USB] Thieves' honor.
Doom: [chuckles]
Pigtail: This is gonna be gnarly. [chuckles] In the good way.
Kitty Kat: Come on, y'all. We're going on a heist.
[Once the Bad Guys are alone, they start talking again.]
Piranha: So... are we bad again, or...?
Wolf: You got to hand it to them. They thought of almost everything.
Snake: "Almost"? [realizes] Oh, you've got an angle.
Wolf: [scoffs] I've always got an angle. One last job, and after that, Little Miss Lollipop's gonna regret she ever met us.
[After the Bad Guys have successfully stolen Mr. Moon's watch, Wolf is now chatting with Kitty in the Bad Girls' hideout as she melts down the stolen McGuffinite objects and molds them into spheres]
Kitty: Yeah. Of course I did.
Wolf: Oh, really? So impersonating the bride was your idea?
Kitty: Absolutely.
Wolf: Yeah. Okay.
Kitty: I hired you. Therefore, your ideas are my ideas.
Wolf: Classy. What's going on with the MacGuffinite?
Kitty: Oh, just a little science project.
Wolf: Ah. So you framed us for science?
Kitty: [laughs] Come on, I had to frame you. It was the only way to draw you out of retirement.
Wolf: Anyway, you got what you wanted, so, uh...
Kitty: [chuckles] Oh. Oh! Right. You want the video. [she takes the flash drive containing the video from her pocket and holds it out to Wolf] There we go. [before Wolf can take the drive, she takes it back] Oh, man. (she pulls up a stool behind her and sits down] Did... did I ever tell you about my first heist?
Wolf: [sighs then sits down, resigning himself to humoring Kitty a little longer] Uh, no. Um, was it a bank? Jewelry store? [mumbles]
Kitty: [smacks lips] Lollipop. Back in school, we had a teacher who used to give the good kids a lollipop. And maybe it was my claws or my teeth, but she never, ever looked my way. It was hurtful. So one day, when the old fart wasn't looking, I snuck into the drawer and swiped the whole bag. [chuckles] After that, when the kids wanted lollipops, they came to me. Dude, it was amazing, man. For the first time in my life, I felt powerful. I must've pulled off a hundred jobs since then. And the more you steal, the more they respect you. Hmm. [smacks lips then examines her lollipop] Why would you give that up? You think if you play nice and follow their rules, they'll just see you for who you truly are? But let me tell you, they won't. [she hands the flash drive to Wolf] What if the bad life was your best life?
[as Wolf takes the drive, he starts having flashbacks to his bad life with the Bad Guys and Kitty's voice suddenly becomes distant and echoing]
Kitty: [echoing] My advice: Stop hoping and enjoy the lollipop. [she goes back to working on the McGuffinite.]
[Wolf stares into space for a few seconds then goes outside stopping to lean against the door and reflect on Kitty's words. After a few seconds, he heads to the hot dog van.]
[After Wolf has gotten the flash drive containing the video of Diane revealed as the Crimson Paw from Kitty, he gets in the hot dog cart where the Bad Guys are waiting]
Wolf: Did you get it?
Webs: Oh, we got it. [she shows a video of Kitty]
Kitty: [laughs; recording] Come on, I had to frame you. It was the only way to draw you out--
Webs: [mutes video] Full confession.
Piranha: I can't believe she didn't notice the camera. [Wolf removes the hidden camera from his cowboy hat]
Webs: All we need to do is get this to the chief and clear our names.
[All the Bad Guys start celebrating except for Wolf who remains silent. Snake notices this]
Snake: Hey, buddy. You okay?
Wolf: Huh? Oh. Uh, nothing. Just, uh, imagining my next round of thrilling job interviews.
Webs: Wolfie, this is the plan.
Wolf: Yeah. No, I know. I'm just saying... [sighs] What am I saying? I'm just saying, wh-- [sighs] what if we took a wrong turn with the whole going good thing? You know what I mean?
Snake: Yeah, but it's gonna be different this time.
Webs: "Captured the Phantom Bandit." That'll look great on your resume.
Piranha: We're gonna be heroes. Piranha Street.
Wolf: Yeah, no, yeah. Totally. [stammers, blows raspberries] What am I talking about? You're right. Come on, let's find the chief. Let's go.
Shark: That's my Wolf.
[Wolf tries to start the van but it just sputters and dies]
Wolf: Uh-oh.
[Car headlights then turn on shining directly at them. The Bad Girls are revealed to be standing right in front of the hot dog van with Pigtail having a large wrench slung over her shoulder]
Kitty: Did you really think it was gonna be that easy? Shoot.
Diane: [after fighting the Bad Girls] You're all under arrest. Governor's orders.
Kitty Kat: Ohh, feisty! [wiping the injury Diane had inflicted on her face] You don't know, do you? You're not governor anymore.
Doom: You might want to check your phone.
Pigtail: Crimson Paw.
Diane: [confused] Crimson…? [then becomes shocked] What? [looks at her phone, seeing many heartbroken and angry text messages on it; horrified] Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no, no. [stutters] But... h-how?
Tiffany Fluffit: A viral video has revealed that the notorious thief known as the Crimson Paw was (not Professor Marmalade, it was truly) none other than Governor Diane Foxington! While police search for the rogue politician, they have wasted no time in ordering the speedy release of sweet, adorable Professor Marmalade, unlike the Bad Guys, whose claim to have "changed" fooled absolutely no one.
[After McGuffinite and the MOON-X rocket was destroyed and Kitty saw them outside. She failed to steal all the gold in space.]
Kitty Kat: NO! [angrily to Wolf] How do you expect to get back to Earth without a shuttle?!
Wolf: At least there's an Earth to go- [until Kitty attacks and strangled him]
Kitty Kat: [extremely enraged] You destroyed my beautiful plan!
[When Kitty Kat is just about to kill Wolf, then someone showed up beating her and letting Wolf go as he saw that it was Diane appearing in the space station and Diane attacks Kitty and knocking her unconscious in rage, screaming furiously. Then Wolf saw Diane in surprise.]
Diane: [tauntingly to Kitty] What did I tell you about messing with my friends?!
Wolf: Wha-- How did you... [goes to Diane, happily]
Diane: Wolf, we got-- Oh. [Wolf hugs Diane; then she hugs him back very hard and tight, then Wolf begins to explain to Diane sadly that he's failed to stop Kitty from uploading the video to the public for keeping her secret identity.]
Wolf: We tried to stop her from posting... [But then Diane grabs Wolf's jacket and kissed him for the first time, and they float due to zero gravity. He gestured for her and they hold onto each other.] Wow. What happened to medium friendly?
Diane: [chuckles and pulls off a flirty smirk] Well, good thing I'm not the governor anymore, huh? [Then they share another kiss again until Snake appeared, disgusted.]
Snake: Ugh. Gross.
[Luggins finishes giving her eulogy for the supposedly deceased Bad Guys and Diane. She sulks off sobbing to a side room, then when she closes the door, the sobs turn into laughter.]
Luggins: Did I sell it, or did I sell it?
[The camera turns to see the Bad Guys and Diane a bit battered but alive]
Snake: Are you gonna tell us what this is all about?
Piranha: Yeah, because I don't feel dead.
