'''''Super Smash Bros. 4''''' (also referred to by shorthands such as '''''Smash 4''''', '''''SSB4''''', or more informally '''''Sm4sh''''', and officially as '''''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U''''') is a term used to collectively refer to '''{{For3ds}}''' and '''{{Forwiiu}}''', two games in the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series created by [[Bandai Namco]]<ref name="ign-namco">[http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/06/22/namco-bandai-developing-next-smash-bros IGN: "Namco Bandai Developing Next Smash Bros."]</ref> and [[Sora Ltd.]] However, in an interview with Kotaku, [[Masahiro Sakurai]] has stated he considers the ''3DS'' version the fourth installment and the ''Wii U'' version the fifth installment. The games feature mostly identical gameplay, but with several differences in other areas. The ''3DS'' version is the first game of the series to be released on a handheld.


The ''3DS'' version launched in Japan on September 13th, 2014, in most other parts of the world on October 3rd, 2014. It was released in stores one day earlier in Germany on October 2nd, 2014 to avoid coinciding with {{S|wikipedia|German Unity Day}}, and was released one day later in Australia on October 4th, 2014 because of time zone differences. Hong Kong and Taiwan received a release of the game over ten months later, on July 24th, 2015, while South Korea got its release on September 10th, 2015, nearly a full year after the game's initial launch in Japan. The ''Wii U'' version was released in North America on November 21st, 2014, and was released on November 28th, 2014 in Europe, November 29th, 2014 in Australia, and on December 6th, 2014 in Japan.
MR. INCREDIBLE


Both versions have received positive reviews; critics applauded the fine-tuning of existing gameplay elements but criticized some issues with online play. Both versions sold quickly, with the ''3DS'' version selling over 8.72 million copies worldwide as of March 2017, and the ''Wii U'' version selling over 5.20 million copies during the same period.
Is this on?


==Characters==
Both games feature identical [[character]] rosters. The roster contains a total of 58 characters, 34 of which return from ''Brawl'', three of which return after being cut in the transition from ''Melee'' to ''Brawl'' ({{SSB4|Dr. Mario}}, {{SSB4|Mewtwo}}, and {{SSB4|Roy}}), and 21 of which are new to the series. Of these 58, 39 are [[starter character]]s in both versions and eight are [[unlockable character]]s in both versions, while four characters are unlockable in the ''3DS'' version but starters in the ''Wii U'' version. Additionally, seven characters appear as [[downloadable content]]. A further eight "characters" exist as alternate costumes for other preexisting characters, [[Alph]] as a palette swap of {{SSB4|Olimar}}, and each of the seven [[Koopalings]] as palette swaps of {{SSB4|Bowser Jr.}}

==Stages==
INTERVIEWER
The two games feature considerably different stage selections, which is one of the primary differences between the two games. The ''3DS'' version features a total of 42 stages with seven unlockable stages and eight DLC stages, 30 of which are new and 12 of which are familiar. The ''Wii U'' version features a total of 55 stages with six unlockable stages and nine DLC stages, consisting of 34 new stages and 21 familiar ones. Only 13 stages are shared between the two versions.


In general, the ''3DS'' version features more stages based on handheld console games, while the ''Wii U'' version features more stages based on home console games. However, several stages in both games ignore this distinction.
That's fine.  


[[Past Stages]] in both games are now known as "Familiar Stages." Three [[DLC]] Familiar Stages are shared between the two games.

==Modes==
I can break through walls, I just can't...  
===Multiplayer===
*[[VS Mode]]
*[[8-Player Smash]] (''Wii U'' exclusive): In this mode, up to eight players can play in Smash battles, compared to the standard limit of four. Due to system resources, some stages have their behavior modified while in this mode, while other stages are not available at all.
*[[Special Smash]] (''Wii U'' exclusive): The successor to [[Special Brawl]], players in this mode can create custom battles by changing a variety of options, such as making all the fighters [[metal]]. Up to four players can play in this mode. This mode does not affect records and stats.
*[[Smash Run]] (''3DS'' exclusive): In this mode, up to four players have five minutes to traverse a large dungeon-like environment, collecting various power-ups and facing enemies from multiple games. After the time limit, the players fight in a battle utilizing their boosted powers, and can then do subsequent matches with those power-ups. Sakurai mentioned in the April 2014 Nintendo Direct video that it took inspiration from ''{{s|wikirby|Kirby Air Ride}}'''s {{S|wikirby|City Trial}} mode, which has a similar premise.
**Players are also able to have items set to their characters via [[character customization]].
*[[Smash Tour]] (''Wii U'' exclusive): Players take control of Miis moving along a game board, collecting characters and power-ups to win the final match, with each fighter obtained acting as one stock.
*[[Tourney (SSB4-Wii U)|Tournament Mode]] (''Wii U'' exclusive): A competitive elimination mode returning from ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', which was released as a downloadable online feature.

==Development==
''SSB4'' was announced in passing at [[E3]] 2011. The game's development was not slated to begin until sometime after October 2011, after the completion of Sakurai's other project, ''Kid Icarus: Uprising''.<ref>[http://andriasang.com/comw79/ Andriasang.com: "Smash Bros. U & 3DS development appears to be very early"]</ref> He had stated, in response to a fan asking him about whether a "child Link" would be in the game, that he had not at the time decided on which characters would appear. However, he had also said that he "can't say that it's entirely out of the realm of possibility that some [[Capcom]] character could appear in the next ''Smash Bros.''"<ref>[http://nintendoeverything.com/67219/sakurai-capcom-character-could-appear-in-next-smash-bros/ Nintendo Everything: "Sakurai: Capcom character could appear in next Smash Bros."]</ref> Indeed, Capcom's [[Mega Man]] was ultimately confirmed as playable, and [[Ryu]] was made available as DLC. The paired versions of the game were officially revealed at E3 2013 in the form of a trailer on June 11, 2013, with a projected release in 2014.


Development of the game began in early 2012<ref>[http://www.cubed3.com/news/16506 Cubed<sup>3</sup>: "Sakurai Begins Work on New Smash Bros for Wii U and 3DS"]</ref>, but it went unmentioned during E3 2012, something which many fans were disappointed about despite the known extremely early state of the game; the "first step of the process" was taken shortly after in mid-June. Sakurai expressed disappointment that fans would be waiting for longer than expected for the game to be released due to the earliness of the initial announcement.<ref>[http://nintendoeverything.com/91807/next-smash-bros-in-first-step-of-the-process-sakurai-worried-about-long-wait/ Nintendo Everything: "Next Smash Bros. in “first step of the process”, Sakurai worried about long wait"]</ref> Shortly afterward, it was revealed during a Nintendo Direct that Namco Bandai (as Bandai Namco was previously named) was the primary developer alongside [[Sora Ltd.]], and had already completed a working prototype.<ref name="ign-namco" />
INTERVIEWER


[[Image:SSB4 whiteboard.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The whiteboard drawing posted by Sakurai.]]
That's fine.  
On July 2nd, 2012, Sakurai posted a whiteboard drawing on Twitter which was drawn by the game's staff. It depicts [[Donkey Kong]], [[Fox]], a [[Heart Container]], [[Kirby]], [[Link]], [[Luigi]], [[Mario]], [[Marth]], [[Meta Knight]], [[Mr. Game & Watch]], a [[Mr. Saturn]], [[Pikachu]], a {{b|Pikmin|species}}, [[Pit]], [[Sandbag]], [[Wario]], and [[Zero Suit Samus]]; some argue that the curved lines in the background form the shape of {{SSB4|Master Hand}}. The sketch also has what appears to be large block letters hidden below the visible area. While the post came with no explicit confirmation of any of these characters or elements as reappearing, it did show that they were in some sense acknowledged by the staff; everything depicted would, in fact, appear in the final game. The image itself was later removed from the original Twitter post.<ref>[http://twitter.com/Sora_Sakurai/status/219759606463864832/photo/1 Jul 2, 2012 Tweet by Sora_Sakurai] ([[Masahiro Sakurai]])</ref>
<br clear=left>
Sakurai had remarked that one feature of the ''3DS'' ''Smash Bros.'' title would be that players can improve their character through battles and rewards, then transfer them to the ''Wii U'' ''Smash'' title to play against friends; such a function was ultimately made possible through [[character customization]]. He also said the ''3DS'' title was intended to offer a new experience for veteran ''Smash Bros.'' fans, and that neither the ''3DS'' game nor the ''Wii U'' game would simply be sequels like ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'' were, and that they would do more than just add characters and stages. It had also been revealed that they were looking towards co-operative play for the ''Wii U'' title. Official Nintendo Magazine said, "''there is merit in having skilled and unskilled players play together, so one emphasis will be on elements of players helping one-another''." They also stated that the graphics would be significantly stepped up, as the ''Wii U'' can handle high-quality graphics, dynamic effects and smooth character movements in HD at 60 frames per second.<ref>[http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/27806/smash-bros-wii-u/3ds-how-theyll-work-together/ Official Nintendo Magazine: "Smash Bros Wii U/3DS: How they'll work together"]</ref> Sakurai was also quoted as claiming that the new game was unlikely to emphasize new playable characters, focusing instead on gameplay balance and distinctiveness of its characters. <ref>[http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/39783/smash-bros-wii-u-may-not-feature-more-characters/ Official Nintendo Magazine: "Smash Bros Wii U may not feature more characters"]</ref> Indeed, ''SSB4'' initially introduced fewer newcomers than ''Brawl'' did.


Shortly after the initial [[E3 2013]] trailers, Sakurai said there would be a single-player story mode included in the new ''Smash Bros.''<ref>[http://mynintendonews.com/2013/06/17/smash-bros-wii-u-and-3ds-story-mode-wont-be-like-brawl/ My Nintendo News: "Smash Bros Wii U And 3DS Story Mode Won’t Be Like Brawl"]</ref>, but that it would be different from ''Brawl'''s [[Subspace Emissary]] in that there would be no cutscenes, since he did not want them to be uploaded to the Internet. However, he would later recant this and announce that he decided to cut any story mode altogether <ref>http://kotaku.com/the-next-super-smash-bros-wont-have-a-story-mode-or-c-906856304</ref>.


Sakurai had stated that there were no plans to implement downloadable content or touch screen controls of any variety. However, he also said that once the game was released DLC was something they would take into consideration. <ref>[http://www.gamnesia.com/news/no-plans-for-dlc-or-touch-controls-in-the-new-smash-bros.-tripping-is-remov Gamnesia: "No Plans for DLC or Touch Controls in the New Smash Bros., Tripping is Removed"]</ref> Downloadable content was eventually implemented through several additional fighters, stages, and costumes for Mii Fighters.


==Changes from ''Brawl''==
MR. INCREDIBLE
===Gameplay changes===
{{ImageCaption|Image:Greater Size diversity.png|Image:TheDanceClubSSB4.jpg|width1=x150px|width2=x150px|align=right|caption=The character size comparison in ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4''}}
''Smash 4''’s main goal is to strike a balance between ''Melee''’s faster, more technical gameplay and ''Brawl''’s slower, more relaxed gameplay, in an attempt to appeal to both casual and hardcore gamers.
This is most easily apparent in ''Smash 4''’s game speed: most veterans from ''Brawl'' have faster [[dash|dashing]], [[falling speed|falling]], and [[air speed]]s, though the game speed is still noticeably slower and floatier than ''Melee.'' The removal of random tripping introduced in ''Brawl'' makes extended [[dash-dancing]] a viable movement option, and [[pivot]]ing, a movement technique previously possible in ''Melee'' and ''Smash 64'', has been reintroduced; thus, characters in ''Smash 4'' generally have more flexible mobility than in ''Brawl.''


In a similar appeal to both casual and hardcore gamers, there are now two distinct type of [[With Anyone]] [[Wi-Fi]] modes; one called [[For Fun]] which is similar to the previous game's casual-styled [[Basic Brawl]], and one called [[For Glory]], a mode explicitly catered to competitive-styled play. Additionally, every stage now has an "Ω Form," where the stage's layout is altered into that of Final Destination. These forms cannot be played on in the For Fun mode, while they are the only forms available in the For Glory mode.
I can't get this on.  


The differences in size across the cast are now more pronounced, with {{SSB4|Bowser}} now standing much taller than {{SSB4|Mario}}, compared to being only slightly taller in previous games. Larger characters like {{SSB4|Donkey Kong}} are thus easier to hit but benefit from longer reach, while smaller characters like {{SSB4|Kirby}} are harder to hit while hindered by shorter range. Nevertheless, the differences in range across the cast have been overall toned down, with melee-oriented characters like {{SSB4|Diddy Kong}} having more elastic limbs, while sword-wielders have shorter range either through the improvements in range to the rest of the cast (e.g., {{SSB4|Marth}}) or direct nerfs to their range (eg. {{SSB4|Meta Knight}}).


Mid-match character transformations have been removed. {{SSB4|Sheik}} and {{SSB4|Zelda}}, and {{SSB4|Zero Suit Samus}} and {{SSB4|Samus}}, are all now completely separate characters, while {{SSB4|Charizard}} returns as a standalone fighter in place of the Pokémon Trainer. These changes are due to hardware limitations on the 3DS and Sakurai’s own wish for both versions of the game to feature the same roster.


As a possible effort to balance gameplay, ''Smash 4'' has removed a few exploitable techniques that were prevalent in previous entries. The mechanics of grabbing ledges have undergone an unprecedented overhaul, with [[edge-hogging]] having been removed entirely, as attempting to grab a [[ledge]] that someone else has already grabbed onto will now gently remove them from the ledge and "steal" it, a mechanic known as "ledge trumping". This changes the entire edge metagame, with players now having to attack opponents that they have ledge trumped instead of completely stopping their recovery by grabbing the edge, along with making [[edgeguarding]] more reliant on stage spikes and meteor smashes. On the other hand, ledge trumping itself can be used as an edgeguard, as it leaves the recovering opponent vulnerable.
INTERVIEWER


An additional overhaul is the elimination of most [[planking]] strategies, as the length of [[intangibility]] given by grabbing the ledge is now affected by air time and current damage, and does not carry over if the character drops from the ledge. No intangibility at all will be granted if a character grabs the ledge twice without touching the ground or being hit (making them more open to edgeguarding). Finally, the difference between fast and slow edge options based on current damage has been removed. The general [[recovery|recoveries]] of the cast have also been improved, with many of them traveling farther and having better protection while benefiting from the faster air speeds and new ledge mechanics; these changes weren't entirely consistent across the cast, however, and recoveries are overall more polarized than in previous games. On the other hand, meteor canceling has been removed, making [[meteor smash]]es functionally equivalent to spikes and thus much deadlier edge-guarding moves; to compensate, several meteor smashes are now weaker, with a few requiring more specific hitboxes (such as {{SSB4|Ike}}'s down aerial). 
So, Mr. Incredible...do you have a secret identity?


In ''Smash 4'', characters are granted 60 frames of invulnerability to all [[grab]]s after being released from a grab or [[throw]]n (not counting special moves). This change makes it impossible to perform [[chain-grab]]s, which was not only possible but rather common in previous games. Possibly in relation to this, [[stale-move negation]] has been weakened, making it harder for characters to abuse the mechanic which allows for moves to combo for longer; at the same time, characters do not have to worry about preserving their KO moves as much as they did in ''Brawl'', though still more than in ''Melee.'' Characters can also not grab the ledge after going through hitstun for at least 55 frames.


[[Hitstun]] canceling, a controversial mechanic introduced in ''Brawl'' that allowed characters to escape combos with ease, has been toned down. Characters can now air dodge or use an aerial attack to cancel hitstun after frame 40 through 45 respectively, compared to ''Brawl''’s 13/25 frames, with the window being pushed back when a character sustains 69 or more frames of hitstun. As a result, true [[combos]] at low- and mid-percents are much more prevalent. However, with the increased knockback growth on many throws, moderate falling speeds, [[gravity]] increasing vertical knockback, the continued lack of advanced techniques such as [[wavedashing]] and [[L-cancelling]], and the retained ability to cancel hitstun, true combos in ''Smash 4'' are generally shorter and less varied compared to the ones in ''Melee'' and ''Smash 64'', especially at high percents. Additionally, many of the faster, more combo-oriented fighters, such as {{SSB4|Sheik}}, {{SSB4|Fox}}, Meta Knight, and Diddy Kong have had their damage outputs reduced, likely to compensate for their improved combo abilities or to balance them out with the slow, heavy characters. The changes to hitstun also prevent characters from immediately performing moves to slow their [[momentum cancelling|momentum]], reducing their ability to survive powerful attacks.


[[Directional influence]] works differently. Holding a horizontal direction now directly increases or decreases knockback in that direction, while also altering the launch angle as in previous games. As of update [[1.0.4]], holding a vertical direction only adjusts the launch angle, as it did in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl.'' These changes make it harder to carry out horizontal combos, especially at higher percents since opponents will often be sent too far for follow-ups. In turn, this indirectly benefits characters who possess vertical-launching moves, notably Mario, Meta Knight, Zero Suit Samus, and {{SSB4|Ryu}}, as it is now comparatively easier to combo and KO with attacks that deal vertical knockback. The effects of [[Smash DI|smash directional Influence]] have also been drastically weakened, which is most easily visible with multi-hit attacks, making it much harder to escape them than in earlier games.
MR. INCREDIBLE


Movement speed when carrying heavy items has been increased among the entire cast, but [[Donkey Kong]] remains as the only character who can jump and fall with them.
Every superhero has a secret identity. I don't know a
single one who doesn't. Who wants the pressure of being super all the time?


A new mechanic, unofficially known as “[[rage]],” has been implemented. Characters receive a steady increase to the knockback (and therefore hitstun) of their attacks as their damage rises starting at 35%, with the effect capping out at 150%. Rage becomes more visible when a character reaches 100%, as they begin to flash red and emit steam.


Defensive options have been heavily modified. [[Shield]]s now take 19% more damage from attacks, rather than 30% less. As of update [[1.1.1]], [[shield stun]] has been significantly increased, making [[out of shield]] options less reliable; thus, shields are much more fragile than in ''Brawl''. [[Air dodge]]s now have high landing lag (21 frames), but lower ending lag (roughly 5 frames, down from 10 to 30 in ''Brawl''), making air dodges safer for aerial combat but riskier when done close to the ground. [[Sidestep]]s and [[roll]]s have slightly less ending lag but offer fewer intangibility frames, which makes rolls overall safer for quick repositioning.


[[Star KO]]s and [[Screen KO]]s now do not always occur when a character is KO'd over the top [[blast line]]; also, the Screen KO animation has been lengthened to last a few frames longer than the Star KO animation. They no longer occur near the end of a [[time]]d match (unless characters are launched to the upper blast line when [[End of Day]] is active, the only known exception to this) or [[Sudden Death]]; being instead replaced by regular blast KOs. They also will not occur when a character is launched at a fast enough speed.
ELASTIGIRL


===Aesthetic and sound changes===
Of course I have a secret identity. Can you see me in this
{{ImageCaption|File:Sudden Death (SSBB).PNG|File:Sudden Death (Super Smash Bros. for Wii U).jpg|width1=x150px|width2=x150px|align=right|caption=The aesthetic changes between ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4''}}
at the supermarket? Come on. Who'd want to go shopping as Elastigirl, y'know
*In general, the game is much more stylized and visually intense than previous entries, with the colors being bolder and brighter, sound effects being more cartoonish (though generally quieter) and many elements having been redone to stand out more.
what I mean?
*The characters' design styles are more distinct from each other and more in-line with their home series, in contrast to ''Brawl'' which gave the characters a more unified realistic look. For example, characters from cartoony franchises such as the ''{{uv|Mario}}'' and ''{{uv|Kirby}}'' series are much closer to their native styles, while those from more realistic-looking franchises such as ''{{uv|The Legend of Zelda}}'' (with the exception of Toon Link) and ''{{uv|Metroid}}'' series maintain more realistic appearances.
*Some characters will always stand to face the screen regardless of which direction they turn, with the intent of having them face the screen more often.
*[[Damage]] percentage numbers now rise through yellow shades before turning red. In the ''Wii U'' version, the numbers are also displayed with a metallic gradient.
*Several visual effects are significantly bolder and brighter:
**Attacks' visual effects (such as motion blurs) are in general more pronounced, with bright saturated blurs replacing the previous game's subtle ones.
**Most spherical, energy-based projectiles (such as [[Charge Shot]], [[Aura Sphere]] and [[Shadow Ball]]) now appear less smoothly designed and significantly spikier, alongside being more visually intense.
**Many attacks have bright motion trails, making their range more obvious.
***In the case of sword swings, most produce "afterimages" instead of being a solid blur of color, while characters with notable sweetspots (such as {{SSB4|Marth}} and {{SSB4|Roy}}) have trails that glow brightly at their sweetspots to emphasize them.
**Smoke trails of struck characters are now thick trails of light, which become more prominent with higher amounts of knockback and are colored according to which player would be credited with a potential [[KO]]. Should the KO occur, the attacker will flash with an aura of their own color.
***In the Wii U version, the attacker's damage meter will also show a brief burst of flame when a KO occurs.
*A new visual effect is introduced, referred to as '''Deadly Blow''' by the game; hits that deal enough knockback to KO the character before they can act produce a red-and-black lightning effect during hitlag if they are close enough to the blast line. However, the effect is not always consistent, as it does not factor in DI or other obstructions, and does not always appear at an attack's minimum KO threshold. Attacks that cause [[frozen|freezing]] never produce the visual effect, instead, the screen briefly flashes white. Meteor smashes do not produce it until high percentages.
*Certain items such as the [[Bumper]] and [[Home-Run Bat]] have been given new, more striking designs. The Home-Run Bat, for example, is more ornate and is now colored to match the new high-knockback lightning effect.
*A successful meteor smash that deals high [[knockback]] will play a distinct sound effect.
*Characters now have team colored outlines in [[Team Battle]]s, and can select a color normally.
*[[Revival platform]]s now have a section that changes color based on the time remaining before the platform disappears. This section starts out yellow before fading between orange and then turning red before disappearing.
*Characters with over 100% of damage now flash red and emit steam, as part of the new [[rage]] game mechanic. The effect intensifies as their damage raises.
*In the ''3DS'' version, players can tap on a character's icon on the bottom screen to place a marker on that character on the top screen, in order to more easily follow their movements.
*[[Magic]] and [[PK]] attacks no longer have [[electric]]al properties and produce sparkle sounds if they hit.
*Victory scenes seem to be a cross between all of the previous three games. Like in ''Smash 64'', the screen has different animations that transition to the scene, instead of just cutting to it, while only the winner is shown in the main area like in ''Melee'', with the others applauding in small windows on the screen on the ''Wii U'' version. However, instead of a featureless black screen, the winner's area is an environment similar to that in ''Brawl''’s [[victory screen]]. Additionally, after the winner has been announced and the [[victory theme]] has finished playing, a remix of the character select music from ''Smash 64'' will play (with the exception of {{SSB4|Cloud}}, as his victory theme loops rather than finishing).
*The Stock Icons for Stock Matches are now akin to those in ''Melee'', in which they appeared as the character's head, as opposed to ''Brawl'', where they were merely small circles colored depending on the player. Additionally, the stock icons are placed below the HUD that contains the character's damage percentage rather than on it.
*Assist trophies and Poké Ball Pokémon now come with a marker above them, in order to indicate which player summoned them.
**Additionally, certain items come with white triangular markers above them to make them more noticeable, like in ''SSB64''.
*Some of the more realistic sound effects from ''Brawl'' have been eschewed in favor of sound effects which are inspired by the characters' home franchises, such as the one that plays when Kirby uses {{b|Inhale|Kirby}}.
*Like in the previous games, each character has a voice clip for whenever they take a fair amount of knockback. Though now, it plays right as they receive the blow, like in the original ''Super Smash Bros.'' and ''Melee'', and not during the knockback itself, like in ''Brawl''. In ''SSB4'', damage noises are no longer based purely on the amount of knockback taken, unlike in ''SSB64'' and ''Melee'', where characters had damage noises for medium damage and hard damage specifically. This means that certain attacks and items that repeatedly launch the character can make them repeat the voice clips constantly, such as the {{B|Drill|item}}.
*Most flash/tint effects (such as flashing white while invincible) do not display while the game is paused.
*On the ''Wii U'' version, most stages have constant subtle ambient noise in the background, such as wind (Onett and Mushroom Kingdom U) or animal sounds (Kongo Jungle 64). This is a new addition to most returning stages.
*Many characters are much more expressive than in ''Brawl''; for example, Wario now scowls when performing an attack or in the Wii U version, Wario's mustache and eyebrows now stretch and grow to fit the situation.
**Each character's expressions are different for each version, mainly due to hardware limitations on the 3DS version. An example can be seen during victory scenes. If Marth, for example, were to win a match, his expression would vary; Marth would keep a serious face on ''for 3DS'', while he would slightly smile and look at the screen on ''for Wii U.''


==Console differences==
{{main|Cross-platform comparison of Super Smash Bros. 4}}
The Wii U and 3DS versions of the game were shown to have distinct art styles from one another in that the 3DS version uses flatter shading and optional black outlines to make characters easier to see at a distance, a graphical style reminiscent of other 3DS games such as ''Fire Emblem Awakening'' and ''Pokémon X & Y''. These outlines are customizable as Sakurai stated players can change the size of the outlines or get rid of them completely. As stated before, many of the stages are version specific, with the 3DS version having more stages based on handheld console games, and the Wii U having more stages based on home console games.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQD1yJinzeQ Nintendo's YouTube channel: "Wii U & Nintendo 3DS Developer Direct - Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U @E3 2013"]</ref> There is no cross-platform gameplay between the Wii U and 3DS versions due to the exclusive stages to each version<ref>[http://www.joystiq.com/2013/06/13/wii-u-and-3ds-smash-bros-will-not-have-cross-platform-play-wil/ Joystiq: "No cross-platform play for Smash Bros on 3DS and Wii U"]</ref>; however, one can create customized fighters in the 3DS version using the character customization feature and send them to the Wii U version. In addition to this, by connecting the two games (or using [[Smash Controller|a special downloadable application]]), the 3DS can be used as a controller on the Wii U version. However, this doesn't apply vice-versa, as none of the Wii U's peripherals can act as a controller on 3DS hardware.


In the 3DS version, there is up to the usual amount of fighters on one stage, with four. The Wii U version features up to eight players at once, though this is only available on a limited selection of the stages.


[[Trophies]] are different between the two versions, with the trophies in the 3DS version being mainly from handheld games, while the trophies in the Wii U being primarily from console games.<ref>http://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAADRUqFpGGYsgQ</ref>
FROZONE


When it comes to music, each stage on the 3DS version has only two music tracks available, as was the case in ''Melee''. On the other hand, the Wii U version sees the return of ''Brawl''’s [[My Music]] option, with a large selection of tracks available for each stage.
Superladies, they're always trying to tell you their secret
identity. Think it'll strengthen the relationship or something like that. I
said, ''Girl, I don't want to know about your mild-mannered alter ego.'' or
anything like that. I mean, you tell me you're a
super-mega-ultra-lightning-babe, that's all right with me. I'm good. I'm good.  


==Reception==
The 3DS version received positive reviews, with a current rating of 85/100 on Metacritic<ref>http://www.metacritic.com/game/3ds/super-smash-bros-for-nintendo-3ds</ref> and 86% on GameRankings<ref>http://www.gamerankings.com/3ds/632937-super-smash-bros-for-nintendo-3ds/index.html</ref>. The game has been praised for its large and diverse character roster, its improvements to game mechanics, and its variety of multiplayer options. Some criticisms include a lack of single player modes and issues concerning the 3DS hardware, such as the size of characters on the smaller screen when zoomed out and latency issues during both local and online multiplayer. There were also reports of players damaging their 3DS Circle Pads while playing the game excessively, and to an extent, the circle pad can easily fall off. The 3DS version sold over a million copies in its first weekend on sale in Japan and had sold more than 3.22 million copies worldwide as of October 2014. The 3DS version was nominated for both "Best Fighting Game" and "Best Handheld/Mobile Game" at the 2014 Video Game Awards, but lost to the Wii U version and {{s|wikipedia|Blizzard Entertainment}}'s ''{{s|wikipedia|Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft}}'', respectively.


The Wii U version received critical acclaim, with a Metacritic score of 92/100<ref>http://www.metacritic.com/game/wii-u/super-smash-bros-for-wii-u</ref> and a GameRankings score of 92.39%<ref>http://www.gamerankings.com/wii-u/633202-super-smash-bros-for-wii-u/index.html</ref>, being among the highest rated games of 2014, is also awarded the Metacritic's Game of the Year and the second-highest rated game of the series after ''[[Brawl]]''. The 2014 Video Game Awards even awarded the Wii U version with the "Best Fighting Game" award. The game was lauded for improving everything the 3DS version offered and significantly improving the online experience.


''Super Smash Bros. 4'' won "favorite video game" at the 2016 People's Choice Awards. As of February 2016, the ''Wii U'' version is the 5th best selling Wii U game, whereas the ''3DS'' version is the 7th best selling Nintendo 3DS game.

==Trivia==
INTERVIEWER
*''Super Smash Bros. 4'' introduces three {{uv|Fire Emblem}} series newcomers, which is more series newcomers than any other universe has in the game.

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.
 
 
 
SANSWEET'S LAWYER
 
Mr. Sansweet didn't ask to be saved. Mr. Sansweet didn't
want to be saved. And the injury received from Mr. Incredible ''actions'', so
quote, causes him daily pain.
 
 
 
BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)
 
Hey, I saved your life!
 
 
 
SANSWEET
 
You didn't save my life! You ruined my death, that's what
you did!
 
 
 
BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)
 
Listen--
 
 
 
MR. INCREDIBLE'S LAWYER
 
My client has no further comment at this time.
 
 
 
ANNOUNCER
 
Five days later, another suit was filed by victims of the
el train accident. Incredible's court losses cost the government millions. And
opened the flood gates for dozens of superhero lawsuits the world over.
 
 
 
WOMAN
 
It is time for their secret identity to become their only
identity. Time for them to join us, or go away.
 
 
 
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.

Shhh! [shouting] I'm sorry, ma'am! I know you're upset!
[whispering] Pretend to be upset.
 
 
 
MRS. HOGENSON

MR. HUPH
 
Parr! You authorized payment on the Walker policy?!
 
 
 
BOB
 
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.

Morning break is over. Morning break is over.

PRINCIPAL
 
I appreciate you coming down here, Mrs. Parr.
 
 
 
HELEN
 
What's this about? Has Dash done something wrong?
 
 
 
BERNIE
 
He's a disruptive influence and he openly mocks me in front
of the class.
 
 
 
DASH
 
He says.
 
 
 
BERNIE
 
Look, I know it's you! He puts thumbtacks on my stool.
 
 
 
HELEN
 
You saw him do this?
 
 
 
BERNIE
 
Well...not really. No. Actually, not.
 
 
 
HELEN
 
Oh, then how do you know it was him?
 
 
 
BERNIE
 
I hid a camera. Yeah, and this time, I've got him. See? You
see? You don't see it? He moves! Right there! Wait, wait! Right there! Right as
I'm sitting down! I don't know how he does it, but there's no tack before he
moves and after he moves, there's a tack. Coincidence? I think not!
 
 
 
PRINCIPAL
 
Bernie...
 
 
 
BERNIE
 
Don't ''Bernie'' me. [screaming] This little rat is guilty!
 
 
 
PRINCIPAL
 
You and your son can go now, Mrs. Parr. I'm sorry for the
trouble.
 
 
 
BERNIE
 
You're letting him go again? He's guilty! You can see it on
his smug little face. Guilty, I say, guilty!
 
 
 
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
 
Maybe I could, if you'd let me go out for sports.
 
 
 
HELEN
 
Honey, you know why we can't do that.
 
 
 
DASH
 
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 temptation.
 
 
 
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
 
Which is another way of saying no one is.
 
 
 
BOY
 
Hey, Rydinger. Where you headed?
 
 
 
GIRL
 
Hi, Tony.
 
 
 
TONY
 
Hey.
 
 
 
BOY
 
Hey, Tony, can I carry your books?
 
 
 
TONY
 
That's kind of funny.
 
 
 
BOY 1
 
Hey, Tony, do you play football?
 
 
 
BOY 2
 
Tony, I thought we were gonna go swimming.
 
 
 
VIOLET
 
He looked at me.

Come on, Violet!

Mom. You're making weird faces again.
 
 
 
HELEN
 
No, I'm not.
 
 
 
BOB
 
You make weird faces, honey.
 
 
 
HELEN
 
Do you have to read at the table?
 
 
 
BOB
 
Uh-huh. Yeah.
 
 
 
HELEN
 
Smaller bites, Dash. Yikes! Bob, could you help the
carnivore cut his meat?
 
 
 
DASH
 
Ow.
 
 
 
HELEN
 
Dash, you have something you wanna 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
 
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 see it on the tape.
 
 
 
BOB
 
They caught you on tape and you still got away with it? Whoa!
You must have been booking. How fast did you think were you going?
 
 
 
HELEN
 
Bob! We are not encouraging this.
 
 
 
BOB
 
I'm not encouraging, I'm just asking how fast...
 
 
 
HELEN
 
Honey!
 
 
 
BOB
 
Great. First the car, now I gotta pay to fix the table...
 
 
 
HELEN
 
The car? What happened to the car?
 
 
 
BOB
 
Here. I'm getting a new plate.
 
 
 
HELEN
 
So, how about you, Vi? How was school?
 
 
 
VIOLET
 
Nothing to report.
 
 
 
HELEN
 
You've hardly touched your food.
 
 
 
VIOLET
 
I'm not hungry for meatloaf.
 
 
 
HELEN
 
Well, it is leftover night. We have steak, pasta. What are
you hungry for?
 
 
 
DASH
 
Tony Rydinger.
 
 
 
VIOLET
 
Shut up!
 
 
 
DASH
 
Well, you are.
 
 
 
VIOLET
 
I said, shut up, you little insect!
 
 
 
DASH
 
Well, she is.
 
 
 
HELEN
 
Do not shout at the table. Honey!
 
 
 
BOB
 
Kids! Listen to your mother.
 
 
 
DASH
 
She'd eat if we were having Tony loaf.
 
 
 
VIOLET
 
That's it!
 
 
 
HELEN
 
Stop it!
 
 
 
DASH
 
You're gonna be toast!
 
 
 
HELEN
 
Stop running in the house. Sit down!
 
 
 
DASH
 
Ow! Hey, no force fields!
 
 
 
VIOLET
 
You started it.
 
 
 
HELEN
 
You sit down! You sit down! Violet!
 
 
 
BOB
 
''Simon J. Paladino, longtime advocate of superhero rights,
is missing''? Gazerbeam.
 
 
 
HELEN
 
Bob! It's time to engage. Do something! Don't just stand
there! I need you to intervene!
 
 
 
BOB
 
You want me to intervene? Okay. I'm intervening. I'm
intervening!
 
 
 
HELEN
 
Violet, let go of your brother!
 
 
 
JACK-JACK
 
Hello?
 
 
 
BOB
 
Get the door.

Hey, Lucius!
 
 
 
LUCIUS
 
Hey, Speedo. Hey, Helen. Vi, Jack-Jack.
 
 
 
BOB
 
He-hey! Ice of you to drop by.
 
 
 
LUCIUS
 
Ha! Never heard that one before.
 
 
 
DASH
 
[gargling] Lucius!
 
 
 
LUCIUS
 
Whoa!
 
 
 
LUCIUS
 
Ha, ha.

Oh! I like it when it shatters.

I'll be back later.

Hey, where are you two going?
 
 
 
BOB
 
It's Wednesday.
 
 
 
HELEN
 
Oh. Bowling night. Say hello to Honey for me, Lucius.
 
 
 
LUCIUS
 
Will do. Good night, Helen. Good night, kids.
 
 
 
HELEN
 
Don't think you've avoided talking about your trip to the
principal's office, young man. Your father and I are still gonna discuss it.
 
 
 
DASH
 
I'm not the only kid who's been sent to the office, you
know.
 
 
 
HELEN
 
Other kids don't 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, wait a minute, young lady.
 
 
 
VIOLET
 
We act normal, mom. I wanna be normal! The only normal one
is Jack-Jack, and he's not even toilet trained.
 
 
 
[Jack-Jack laughing]
 
 
 
DASH
 
Lucky. I meant about being normal.

LUCIUS
 
So now I'm in deep trouble. I mean, one more jolt of this
death ray and I'm an epitaph. Somehow I managed to find cover and what does
Baron Von Ruthless do?
 
 
 
BOB
 
He starts monologuing.
 
 
 
LUCIUS
 
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! Yada, yada, yada.
 
 
 
BOB
 
Yammering.
 
 
 
LUCIUS
 
Yammering! I mean, the guy has me on a platter, and he
won't shut up.
 
 
 
POLICE RADIO
 
Municiberg, we have a 23-56...
 
 
 
BOB
 
23-56, what is that? Robbery?
 
 
 
LUCIUS
 
This is just sad.
 
 
 
BOB
 
Yeah, robbery. Want to catch a robber?
 
 
 
LUCIUS
 
No. 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.
 
 
 
WOMAN
 
He's not alone. The fat guy's still with him. They're just
talking.
 
 
 
LUCIUS
 
What are we doing here, Bob?
 
 
 
BOB
 
Protecting people.
 
 
 
LUCIUS
 
Nobody asked us.
 
 
 
BOB
 
You need an invitation?
 
 
 
LUCIUS
 
I'd like one, yes. We keep sneaking out to do this,
and...you remember Gazerbeam?
 
 
 
BOB
 
Yeah. There was something about him in the paper.
 
 
 
LUCIUS
 
He had trouble adjusting to civilian life, too.
 
 
 
BOB
 
When's the last time you saw him?
 
 
 
LUCIUS
 
I don't see anyone from the old days, Bob. Just you. And
we're pushing our luck as it is.
 
 
 
BOB
 
Oh, come on.
 
 
 
LUCIUS
 
It was fun the first time, but if we keep doing this, we're
gonna get--
 
 
 
POLICE RADIO
 
We have a report on a fire...
 
 
 
BOB
 
A fire. We're close! [yelling] Yeah, baby!
 
 
 
LUCIUS
 
We're gonna get caught.
 
 
 
BOB
 
Woohoo! Haha!  Fire! Yeah!
 
 
 
LUCIUS
 
Is that everybody?
 
 
 
BOB
 
Yeah, that's everyone.
 
 
 
LUCIUS
 
It better be.
 
 
 
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
can use water in the air!
 
 
 
LUCIUS
 
There is no water in this air! What's your excuse, run out
of muscle?
 
 
 
BOB
 
I just can't go smashing into 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
 
All right! Stay right on my tail! This is gonna get hot!
 
 
 
BOB
 
Yeah.

[realizes they're in a jewelry store...] Uh-oh.

Alright. You've had your drink. Now I want you to...

I assumed you'd be back later. lf you came back at
all...you'd be ''back later''.
 
 
 
BOB
 
Well, I'm back, okay?
 
 
 
HELEN
 
Is this rubble?
 
 
 
BOB
 
[with mouth full] It was just a little workout. Just to
stay loose.
 
 
 
HELEN
 
You know how I feel about that, Bob. Darn you! We can't
blow cover again!
 
 
 
BOB
 
The building was coming down anyway.
 
 
 
HELEN
 
What?! You knocked down a building?!
 
 
 
BOB
 
It was on fire. Structurally unsound. It was coming down
anyway.
 
 
 
HELEN
 
Tell me you haven't been listening to the police scanner
again?
 
 
 
BOB
 
Look, I performed a public service. You act like that's a
bad thing.
 
 
 
HELEN
 
It is a bad thing, Bob! Uprooting our family again, so you
can relive the glory days is a very bad thing.
 
 
 
BOB
 
Reliving the glory days is better than acting like they
didn't happen!
 
 
 
HELEN
 
Yes! They happened! But this, our family, is what's
happening now, Bob. And you are missing this! I can't believe you don't want to
go to your own son's graduation.
 
 
 
BOB
 
It's not a graduation. He's moving from the fourth grade to
the fifth grade.
 
 
 
HELEN
 
It's a ceremony!
 
 
 
BOB
 
It's psychotic! They keep creating new ways to celebrate
mediocrity but if someone is genuinely exceptional...
 
 
 
HELEN
 
This is not about you, Bob. This is about Dash.
 
 
 
BOB
 
You want to do something for Dash? Then let him actually
compete. Let him go out for sports!
 
 
 
HELEN
 
I will not be made the enemy here! You know why we can't do
that.
 
 
 
BOB
 
Because he'd be great!
 
 
 
HELEN
 
This is not about you!
 
 
 
BOB
 
All right, Dash. I know you're listening. Come on out.
 
 
 
HELEN
 
Vi? You, too, young lady.
 
 
 
BOB
 
Come on. Come on out. It's okay, kids. We're just having a
discussion.
 
 
 
VIOLET
 
Pretty loud discussion.
 
 
 
BOB
 
Yeah. But that's okay. Because what's important is that
Mommy and I are always a team. We're always united against, uh, the forces of,
uh...
 
 
 
HELEN
 
Pigheadedness?
 
 
 
BOB
 
I was gonna say evil or something.
 
 
 
HELEN
 
We're sorry we woke you. Everything's okay. Go back to bed.
It's late.

Good night, Mom. Night, Dad.

Okay. Why?

Why what? Be specific, Bob.

Why are you unhappy?

Your customers make me unhappy.
 
 
 
BOB
 
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!

Did I do something illegal?
 
 
 
MR. HUPH
 
No.
 
 
 
BOB
 
Are you saying we shouldn't help our customers?
 
 
 
MR. HUPH
 
The law requires that I answer no.
 
 
 
BOB
 
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? You know, Bob, a company...
 
 
 
BOB
 
Is like an enormous clock.
 
 
 
MR. HUPH
 
...is like an enormous clo--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. [chuckling] I'm being metaphorical, Bob.
You know what I mean by cooperative cogs? Bob? Bob? Look at me when I'm talking
to you, Parr!
 
 
 
BOB
 
That man out there, he needs help.
 
 
 
MR. HUPH
 
Do not change the subject, Bob. We're discussing your
attitude!
 
 
 
BOB
 
He is getting mugged!
 
 
 
MR. HUPH
 
Well, let's hope we don't cover him.

I'll be right back.
 
 
 
MR. HUPH
 
Stop right now or you're fired! Close the door. Get over
here, now.
 
 
 
MR. HUPH
 
I'm not happy, Bob. Not happy.

BOB
 
I know.
 
 
 
RICK
 
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.
 
 
 
RICK
 
Listen, Bob. Maybe I could relocate you, you know, for old
times' sake.

No, I can't do that to my family. Everyone just got

Let me guess. It got smart enough to wonder why it had to
take orders.
 
 
 
MIRAGE
 
We lost control. And now it's loose in the jungle,
threatening our facility. We've had to evacuate all personnel from the island
for their own safety.
 
 
 
BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)
 
How am I going in?
 
 
 
MIRAGE
 
The Omnidroid's defenses necessitate an air drop from 5000
feet. lts cloaking devices make it difficult to track. Although we're pretty
sure it's on the southern half of the island. One more thing. Obviously it
represents a significant investment.
 
 
 
BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)
 
You want me to shut it down without completely destroying
it.
 
 
 
MIRAGE
You are Mr. lncredible.
 
 
 
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.
 
 
 
BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)
 
Shut it down. Do it quickly. Don't destroy it.
 
 
 
MIRAGE
 
And don't die.
 
 
 
BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)
 
Great. Thanks.
 
 
 
BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)
 
Showtime.

Hmm.

Uh-oh.

Surprising. We must bring him back. Sound the all clear,
and invite him to dinner.

Most important, keep things light. Praise him. Make him feel like we appreciate
his abilities.
 
 
 
BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)
 
Am I overdressed?
 
 
 
MIRAGE
 
Actually, you look rather dashing.
 
 
 
BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)
 
I take it our host is...
 
 
 
MIRAGE
 
Oh, I'm sorry. He won't be dining with us. He hopes you'll
understand.
 
 
 
BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)
 
Of course. I do usually make it a point to know who I'm
working for.
 
 
 
MIRAGE
 
He prefers a certain amount of anonymity. Surely, you of
all people understand that.
 
 
 
BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)
 
I was just wondering, of all the places to settle down, why
live...
 
 
 
MIRAGE
 
With a volcano? He's attracted to power. So am I. It's a
weakness we share.
 
 
 
BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)
 
Seems a bit unstable.
 
 
 
MIRAGE
 
I prefer to think of it as misunderstood.
 
 
 
BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)
 
[chuckling] Aren't we all?
 
 
 
MIRAGE
 
Volcanic soil is among the most fertile on Earth.
Everything at the table was grown right here. How does it compare?
 
 
 
BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)
 
Everything's delicious.

E
 
[shoos the guard away] Get back to work! Go check the
electric fence or something! What is it? Who are you? What do you want?
 
 
 
E
 
My God, you've gotten fat. Come in. Come, come.
 
 
 
E
 
Yes, things are going quite well. Quite well. My God, no
complaints. But, you know, it is not the same. Not the same at all.
 
 
 
BOB
 
Weren't you just in the news? Some show in Prayge...
Prague?
 
 
 
E
 
Milan, darling. Milan. 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. But perhaps you come with a
challenge, eh? I was surprised to get your call.
 
 
 
BOB
 
E, I just need a patch job.
 
 
 
E
 
Hmm. This is megamesh. Outmoded, but very sturdy. And
you've torn right through it! What have you been doing, Robert? Moonlighting
hero work?
 
 
 
BOB
 
Must have happened a long time ago.
 
 
 
E
 
I see. 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 do you mean? You designed it.
 
 
 
E
 
I never look back, darling. It distracts from the now. You
need a new suit. That much is certain.
 
 
 
BOB
 
A new suit? Where the heck am I gonna get a new suit?
 
 
 
E
 
You can't! It's impossible! I'm far too busy. So ask me
now, before I again become sane.
 
 
 
BOB
 
Wait. You want to make me a suit?
 
 
 
E
 
You push too hard, darling! But I accept. It will be bold.
Dramatic!
 
 
 
BOB
 
Yeah.
 
 
 
E
 
Heroic!
 
 
 
BOB
 
Yeah, something classic, like Dynaguy! Oh! He had a great
look! Oh, the cape and the boots...
 
 
 
E
 
No capes!
 
 
 
BOB
 
Isn't that my decision?
 
 
 
E
 
Do you remember Thunderhead? Tall, storm powers. Nice man.
Good with kids.
 
 
 
BOB
 
Listen, E...
 
 
 
E
 
November 15th of '58. All was well, another day saved when
his cape snagged on a missile fin.
 
 
 
BOB
 
Thunderhead was not the brightest bulb...
 
 
 
E
 
Stratogale! April 23rd, '57. Cape caught in a jet turbine.
 
 
 
BOB
 
E, you can't generalize about these things.
 
 
 
E
 
Meta-man, express elevator. Dynaguy, snag on takeoff.
Splashdown, sucked into a vortex. No capes! Now, go on. Your new suit will be
finished before your next assignment.
 
 
 
BOB
 
You know I'm retired from hero work.
 
 
 
E
 
As am l, Robert. Yet, here we are.
 
 
 
BOB
 
E, I only need a patch job. For sentimental reasons.
 
 
 
E
 
[sighs] Fine. I will also fix the hobo suit.
 
 
 
BOB
 
You're the best of the best, E.
 
 
 
E
 
Yes, I know, darling. I know.

Yes, yes, yes. It's been a while. Listen, there's only one
person Bob would trust to patch his supersuit and that's you, E.

Yes, yes, yes. Marvelous, isn't it? Much better than those
horrible pajamas he used to wear. They are finished. When are you coming to

Don't make me beg, darling. I won't do it, you know.

It's bigger! It's badder! Ladies and gentlemen, it's too
much for Mr. lncredible! Whoa! Whoa! It's finally ready. You know, I went
through quite a few supers to get it worthy to fight you, but man, it wasn't
good enough! After you trashed the last one, I had to make some major
modifications. Sure it was difficult, but you are worth it. I mean, after
all...I am your biggest fan.
 
 
 
BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)
 
Buddy?

My name is not Buddy! And it's not lncrediBoy either! That

did you say to me?
 
 
 
BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)
 
Fly home, Buddy. I work alone.
 
 
 
SYNDROME
 
It tore me apart. But I learned an important lesson. You
can't count on anyone. Especially your heroes.
 
 
 
BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)
 
I was wrong to treat you that way. I'm sorry.
 
 
 
SYNDROME
 
See? Now you respect me, because I'm a threat. That's the
way it works. Turns out there's a lot 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 only I can defeat. And when I
unleash it, I'll get--
 
 
 
SYNDROME
 
[laughing] You sly dog! You got me monologuing. I can't
believe it. It's cool, huh? Zero-point energy. I save the best inventions for
myself. Am I good enough now? Who's super now? I'm Syndrome! Your nemesis

E
 
This project has completely confiscated my life, darling.
Consumed me as only hero work can. My best work, I must admit. Simple, elegant,
yet bold. You will die.
 
 
 
HELEN
 
E, I just...
 
 
 
E
 
I did Robert's suit, and it turned out so beautiful, I had to
continue.
 
 
 
HELEN
 
E, It's great to see you, but I gotta tell you I have no
idea what you're talking about. I just...
 
 
 
E
 
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.
 
 
 
E
 
Edna Mode. And guest.
 
 
 
E
 
Come. Sit.
 
 
 
E
 
Cream and sugar?
 
 
 
HELEN
 
Thanks.
 
 
 
E
 
I started with the baby.
 
 
 
HELEN
 
Started?
 
 
 
E
 
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?!
 
 
 
E
 
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.
 
 
E
 
No? Well, he'll look fabulous anyway.
 
 
 
E
 
Your boy's suit I designed to withstand enormous friction
without heating up or wearing out. A useful feature.
 
 
 
E
 
Your daughter's suit was tricky. But I finally created a
sturdy material that will disappear completely as she does.
 
 
 
E
 
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
 
What do I think? Bob is retired! I'm retired! Our family is
underground. You helped my husband resume secret hero work behind my back?!
 
 
 
E
 
Well, I assumed you knew, darling. Why would he keep
secrets from you?
 
 
 
HELEN
 
He wouldn't. Didn't. Doesn't.
 
 
 
E
 
Men at Robert's age are often unstable. Prone to weakness.
 
 
 
HELEN
 
What are you saying?
 
 
 
E
 
Do you know where he is?
 
 
 
HELEN
 
Of course.

here and you closed the doors before I could find him and then you took off and
[to Dash] it's not my fault!

what!" It was your idea! Your idea! Hundred percent all-yours,
all-the-time idea!

Wait a minute, wait a minute. You left Jack-Jack alone?!

that.

All right! Well, who'd you get?
 
 
 
KARI
 
You don't have to worry about one single thing, Mrs. Parr.
I've got this baby-sitting thing wired. I've taken courses and learned CPR and
I got excellent marks and certificates...
 
 
 
HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)
 
Kari.
 
 
 
KARI
 
I also brought Mozart to play while he sleeps to make him
smarter because leading experts say Mozart makes babies smarter.
 
 
 
HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)
 
Kari...
 
 
 
KARI
 
And the beauty part is that the babies don't even have to
listen 'cause they're asleep! You know, I wish my parents played Mozart when I
slept because half the time I don't even know what the heck anyone's talking
about.
 
 
 
HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)
 
Kari, I really don't feel comfortable with this. I'll pay
you for your trouble, but I'd really rather call a service.

Oh, there's really no need, Mrs. Parr. I can totally handle
anything this baby can dish out. [cooing] Can't I, little baby? I can handle

gonna do. We're not gonna panic, we're not gonna--look out!
 
 
 
DASH/VIOLET
 
- Oh, my God! Who's idea was this anyway?!
 
- What are we gonna do?! What are we gonna do?!
 
 
 
DASH
 
We're dead! We're dead!
 
 
 
VIOLET
 
It blew up!
 
 
 
DASH
 
We survived but we're dead!
 
 
 
HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)
 
Stop it! We are not gonna die! Now both of you will get a
grip. Or so help me I will ground you for a month! Understand?
 
 
 
MIRAGE
 
We have a confirmed hit. Target was destroyed.
 
 
 
SYNDROME
 
Ah, you'll get over it. I seem to recall you prefer to
''work alone''. [evil laughter]
 
 
 
BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)
 
Release me...now!
 
 
 
SYNDROME
 
Or what?
 
 
 
BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)
 
I'll crush her.
 
 
 
SYNDROME
 
That sounds a little dark for you. Well, go ahead.
 
 
 
BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)
 
It'll be easy. Like breaking a toothpick.
 
 
 
SYNDROME
 
[laughing] Show me.
 
 
 
SYNDROME
 
I knew you couldn't do it. Even when you have nothing to
lose. You're weak. And I've outgrown you.
 
 
 
[Bob sobbing]
 
 
 
HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)
 
Those were short-range missiles. Land-based. That way is
our best bet.
 
 
 
DASH
 
You want to go toward the people that tried to kill us?
 
 
 
HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)
 
lf it means land, yes.
 
 
 
VIOLET
 
Do you expect us to swim there?
 
 
 
HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)
 
I expect you to trust me.

HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)
 
What a trooper. I'm so proud of you.
 
 
 
DASH
 
Thanks, mom.
 
 
 
HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)
 
I think your father is in trouble.
 
 
 
VIOLET
 
lf you haven't noticed, mom, we're not doing so hot either.
 
 
 
HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)
 
I'm going to look for him. And that means you're in charge
until I get back, Violet.
 
 
 
DASH
 
What?!
 
 
 
VIOLET
You heard her.
 
 
 
HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)
 
Put these on. Your identity is your most valuable
possession. Protect it. And if anything goes wrong, use your powers.
 
 
 
VIOLET
 
But you said never to use...
 
 
 
VIOLET
 
I know what I said! [sighs] Remember the bad guys on those
shows you used to watch on Saturday mornings? Well, these guys are not like
those guys. 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 (ELASTIGIRL)
 
Vi, I'm counting on you.
 
 
 
VIOLET
 
There's something I...
 
 
 
HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)
 
I'm counting on you. Be strong. Dash, if anything goes wrong,
I want you to run as fast as you can.
 
 
 
DASH
 
As fast as I can?
 
 
 
HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)
 
As fast as you can. Stay hidden. Keep each other safe. I'll
be back by morning.
 
 
 
VIOLET
 
Mom! Mom, what happened on the plane. I'm sorry. [stammering]
I wanted to help. I mean, when you asked me to... I'm sorry.
 
 
 
HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)
 
Shh. 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. lf the time comes, you'll know what to do. It's in your
blood.
 
 
 
MIRAGE
 
He's not weak, you know.
 
 
 
SYNDROME
 
What?
 
 
 
MIRAGE
 
Valuing life is not weakness.
 
 
 
SYNDROME
 
Oh, hey. Look, look...if you're talking about what happened
in the containment unit, I had everything under control.
 
 
 
MIRAGE
 
And disregarding it is not strength.
 
 
 
SYNDROME
 
I called his bluff, sweetheart, that's all. I knew he
wouldn't have it in him to actually...
 
 
 
MIRAGE
 
Next time you gamble, bet your own life!
 
 
 
HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)
 
Okay, okay, okay.

DASH
 
Well, not that this isn't fun, but I'm gonna go look
around.
 
 
 
VIOLET
 
What do you think is going on here? You think we're on
vacation or something? Mom and Dad's lives could be in jeopardy. Or worse,
[whispering] 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.
 
 
 
DASH
 
Okay, I'm gonna go look around.
 
 
 
VIOLET
 
Mom said to stay hidden.
 
 
 
DASH
 
I'm not gonna leave the cave. Sheesh!

there's no time at all.

Why are you here? How can you possibly bring me lower? What

Hello. You must be Mrs. Incre--
 
 
 
BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)
 
She was helping me to escape.
 
 
 
HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)
 
No. That's what I was doing. Let go of me! Let go, you
lousy, lying, unfaithful creep!
 
 
 
BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)
 
How could I betray the perfect woman?
 
 
 
HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)
 
Oh, you're referring to me now?
 
 
 
BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)
 
Where are the kids?
 
 
 
MIRAGE
 
They might've triggered the alert.
 
 
 
HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)
 
What?!
 
 
 
MIRAGE
 
Security's been sent into the jungle. You better get going.
 
 
 
HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)
 
Now our kids are in danger?!
 
 
 
BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)
 
lf you suspected danger, why'd you bring them?
 
 
 
HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)
 
I didn't bring 'em, they stowed away. And I don't think
you're not striking the proper tone here!

I should've told you I was fired, I admit it. But I didn't

You didn't want me to worry? And now we're running for our
lives through some godforsaken jungle!

We were so worried about you.

Wow.

Whoa.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hey, time out! What have we here?
Matching uniforms? Oh, no! Elastigirl? [laughs] You married Elastigirl? Whoa!

screaming people! And just when all hope is lost, Syndrome will save the day!
I'll be a bigger hero than you ever were!
 
 
 
BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)
 
You mean you killed off real heroes so that 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.

I'm sorry. This is my fault. I've been a lousy father.
Blind to what I have. So obsessed with being undervalued that I undervalued all
of you.
 
 
 
DASH
 
Um..dad?
 
 
 
HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)
 
Shh. Don't interrupt.
 
 
 
BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)
 
So caught up in the past that I...You are my greatest
adventure. And I almost missed it. I swear, I'm gonna get us out of this safely
if I...
 
 
 
VIOLET
 
Well, I think Dad has made some excellent progress today
but I think it's time we wind down now.
 
 
 
BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)
 
We need to get back to the mainland.

I saw an aircraft hangar on my way in. Straight ahead, I

Go, go!

Hey, look. Hey! Every time they run, you take a shot.

Yeah, okay.
 
 
 
HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)
 
This is the right hangar, but I don't see any jets.
 
 
 
BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)
 
A jet's not fast enough.
 
 
 
HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)
 
What's faster than a jet?
 
 
 
DASH
 
Hey, how about a rocket?
 
 
 
HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)
 
Great! I can't fly a rocket.
 
 
 
VIOLET
 
You don't have to. Use the coordinates from the last
launch.

The robot's in the financial district. Which exit do I
take?
 
 
 
HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)
 
Traction Avenue.

That'll take me downtown. I take Seventh, don't I?
 
 
 
HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)
 
Don't take Seventh!
 
 
 
BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)
 
Great, we missed it!

And I'm telling you not a chance. You're my husband. I'm

Yes. No!

I can't. Not again. I'm not... strong enough.

It's coming back!
 
 
 
DASH
 
That wasn't right.

Give me that!

Yeah. No school like the old school.

Just like old times.

Oh! Yeah. Hurt then too.

DASH
 
Hey, mom! That was sweet when you snagged that bad guy with
your arm and kinda whiplashed him into the other guy. It was so sweet!
 
 
 
HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)
 
Honey, uh, yeah, I'm trying to listen to messages, honey.
 
 
 
[Kari]  
 
- Mrs. Parr, it's me. Jack-Jack is fine, but weird things
are happening.
 
- Jack-Jack's still fine, but I'm getting really weirded
out! When are you coming back?
 
 
 
DASH
 
...aced those guys that tried to kill us! That was the best
vacation ever! I love our family.
 
 
 
[Kari]
 
- I'm not fine, Mrs. Parr! Put that down! Stop it! You need
to call me. I need help, Mrs. Parr!
 
 
 
HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)
 
Bob, listen to this.
 
 
 
[Kari]
 
- I'm gonna call the police...
 
- Hi, this is Kari. Sorry for freaking out, but your baby
has special needs.
 
 
 
BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)
 
"Special needs"?
 
 
 
RICK
 
Here we are.
 
 
 
[Kari]
 
- Anyway, thanks for sending a replacement sitter.
 
 
 
HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)
 
Replacement? I didn't call a replacement.
 
 
 
SYNDROME
 
Shh. The baby is sleeping. You took away my future. I'm
simply returning the favor. Oh, 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. Ha ha!
 
 
 
HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)
 
He's getting away, Bob! We have to do something! We have to
do something now!
 
 
 
[Jack-Jack cries]
 
 
 
HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)
 
Something's happening. What's happening?!
 
 
 
HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)
 
We have to stop him! Throw something!
 
 
 
BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)
 
I can't! I might hit Jack-Jack!
 
 
 
HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)
 
Throw me.
 
 
 
HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)
 
Bob, throw me!
 
 
 
[Jack-Jack cooing]
 
 
 
SYNDROME
 
No!
 
 
 
SYNDROME
 
This isn't the end of it! I will get your son, eventually.
I'll get your son!
 
 
 
SYNDROME
 
Oh, no.
 
 
 
HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)
 
Look at Mommy, honey. Don't look down. Mommy's got you.
Everything is all right.
 
 
 
HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)
 
That's my girl.
 
 
 
DASH
 
Does this mean we have to move again?
 
 
 
KID
 
Oh, man. That was totally wicked!

Revision as of 04:19, December 18, 2017

MR. INCREDIBLE

Is this on?


INTERVIEWER

That's fine.


MR. INCREDIBLE

I can break through walls, I just can't...


INTERVIEWER

That's fine.


MR. INCREDIBLE

I can't get this on.


INTERVIEWER

So, Mr. Incredible...do you have a secret identity?


MR. INCREDIBLE

Every superhero has a secret identity. I don't know a single one who doesn't. Who wants the pressure of being super all the time?


ELASTIGIRL

Of course I have a secret identity. Can you see me in this at the supermarket? Come on. Who'd want to go shopping as Elastigirl, y'know what I mean?


FROZONE

Superladies, they're always trying to tell you their secret identity. Think it'll strengthen the relationship or something like that. I said, Girl, I don't want to know about your mild-mannered alter ego. or anything like that. I mean, you tell me you're a super-mega-ultra-lightning-babe, that's all right with me. I'm good. I'm good.


MR. INCREDIBLE

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 ten minutes?


INTERVIEWER

I could get to that point.


MR. INCREDIBLE

Please?


INTERVIEWER

Wait, no, don't get up. We're not finished.


MR. INCREDIBLE

Sometimes l think I'd just like the simple life, you know? Relax a little and raise a family.


ELASTIGIRL

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.



__________________________________________SCENE 2__________________________________________


POLICE RADIO

We interrupt for an important bulletin. A deadly high-speed pursuit between police and armed gunmen is underway, traveling northbound on San Pablo Ave.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Yeah, I've got time.


OLD LADY

Mr. lncredible. Um, Mr. Incredible...


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

What is it, ma'am?


OLD LADY

My cat, Squeaker, won't come down.


[cat meows]


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Certainly, ma'am but I suggest you stand clear. There could be trouble.


OLD LADY

No, no. He's quite tame.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Let go now!


[cat yowls]


POLICE OFFICER 1

Thank you, Mr. lncredible. You've done it again.


POLICE OFFICER 2

Yeah, you're the best.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

No, I'm just here to help.


POLICE RADIO

Attention all units. We have a tour bus robbery...


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Tour bus robbery. I've still got time. Officers. Ma'am. Squeaker.


BUDDY (INCREDIBOY)

Cool! Ready for take-off!


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

What the...? Who are you supposed to be?


BUDDY (INCREDIBOY)

Well, I'm lncrediBoy.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

What? No. You're that kid from the fan club. [stammering] Brophy. Brody. Buddy! Buddy!


BUDDY (INCREDIBOY)

My name is lncrediBoy.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Look, I've been nice, I've stood for photos, signed every scrap of paper you pushed at me but this is...


BUDDY (INCREDIBOY)

No, 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 number one fan!


BUDDY (INCREDIBOY)

Hey! Hey, wait!

__________________________________________SCENE 3__________________________________________


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

You know...you can tell a lot about a woman by the contents of her purse, but maybe that's not what you had in mind.


THIEF

Hey, look--


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Elastigirl.


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

Mr. lncredible.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

No, it's all right. I've got him.


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

Sure, you've got him. I just took him out for you.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Sure, you took him out. His attention was on me.


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

A fact I exploited to do my job.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

My job, you mean.


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

A simple thank you will suffice.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Thanks, but I don't need any help.


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

Whatever happened to ladies first?


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Well, whatever happened to equal treatment?


THIEF

Hey, look, the lady got me first.


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

Well, we could share, you know.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

I work alone.


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

Well, I think you need to be more...flexible.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Are you doing anything later?


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

I have a previous engagement.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

[whistles]


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Now, you just stay here. They usually pick up the garbage in an hour.


LUCIUS (FROZONE)

Hey, lncredible!


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Hey, Frozone!


LUCIUS (FROZONE)

Shouldn't you be getting ready?


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

I still got time.


[crowd screaming]


WOMAN

He's gonna jump!


SANSWEET

I think you broke something.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

With counseling, I think you'll come to forgive me.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Wait a minute.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

[coughing] Bomb Voyage.


VOYAGE

[French] Mr. Incredible!


BUDDY (INCREDIBOY)

And lncrediBoy!


VOYAGE

lncrediBoy?


BUDDY (INCREDIBOY)

Hey, hey! Aren't you curious about how I get around so fast? See? I have these rocket boots--


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Go home, Buddy.


BUDDY (INCREDIBOY)

What?


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Now.


VOYAGE

[French] Little oaf.


BUDDY (INCREDIBOY)

Can we talk? You 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. I am your ward... lncrediBoy!


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

And now, you have officially carried it too far, Buddy.


BUDDY (INCREDIBOY)

This is because I don't have powers, isn't it? Well not every superhero has powers, you know. You can be super without them. I invented these. I can fly. Can you fly?


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Fly home, Buddy. I work alone.


VOYAGE

[French] And your outfit is totally ridiculous!


BUDDY (INCREDIBOY)

Just give me one chance! I'll show you. I'll go get the police.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Buddy, don't!


BUDDY (INCREDIBOY)

It'll only take a second, really.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

No, stop! There's a bomb!


BUDDY (INCREDIBOY)

Let go! You're wrecking my flight pattern! I can do this if you let go!


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Will you just...? I'm trying to help! Stop!


BUDDY (INCREDIBOY)

Let go of my cape!

__________________________________________SCENE 4__________________________________________


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Take this one home. And make sure his mom knows what he's been doing.


BUDDY (INCREDIBOY)

I can help you. You're making a mista---hey!


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

The injured jumper. You sent paramedics?


POLICE OFFICER

They've already picked him up.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

The blast in that building was caused by Bomb Voyage who I caught in the act robbing the vault. Now, we might be able to nab him if we set up a perimeter.


POLICE OFFICER

You mean he got away?


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Well, yeah. Skippy here made sure of that.


BUDDY (INCREDIBOY)

lncrediBoy!


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

You're not affiliated with me! Holy smokes, I'm late. Listen, I've gotta be somewhere.


POLICE OFFICER

What about Bomb Voyage?


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Any other night, I'd go after him myself, but I really gotta go. But don't worry. We'll get him! Eventually!


__________________________________________SCENE 5__________________________________________


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Is the night still young?


LUCIUS (FROZONE)

You're very late.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

How do I look? Good?


LUCIUS (FROZONE)

Oh, the mask! You still got the mask.


[cracks neck]


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Showtime.


PRIEST

Robert Parr, will you have this woman to be your lawful wedded wife?


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

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 (MR. INCREDIBLE)

It was playful banter.


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

Cutting it kinda close, don't you think?


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

You need to be more... flexible.


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

I love you, but if we're gonna make this work, you've gotta be more than Mr. lncredible. You know that. Don't you?


PRIEST

...so long as you both shall live?


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

I do.


PRIEST

I pronounce this couple husband and wife.


[people cheering and whistling]


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

As long as we both shall live. No matter what happens.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Hey, come on. We're superheroes. What could happen?


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.


SANSWEET'S LAWYER

Mr. Sansweet didn't ask to be saved. Mr. Sansweet didn't want to be saved. And the injury received from Mr. Incredible actions, so quote, causes him daily pain.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Hey, I saved your life!


SANSWEET

You didn't save my life! You ruined my death, that's what you did!


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Listen--


MR. INCREDIBLE'S LAWYER

My client has no further comment at this time.


ANNOUNCER

Five days later, another suit was filed by victims of the el train accident. Incredible's court losses cost the government millions. And opened the flood gates for dozens of superhero lawsuits the world over.


WOMAN

It is time for their secret identity to become their only identity. Time for them to join us, or go away.


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.


__________________________________________SCENE 6__________________________________________


style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Tahoma'>(15 YEARS LATER)


MRS. HOGENSON

Denied? You're denying my claim? I don't understand. I have full coverage.


BOB

I'm sorry, Mrs. Hogenson, but our liability is spelled out in paragraph 17. It states clearly...


MRS. HOGENSON

I can't pay for this.


BOB

[phone rings] Excuse me. [answers phone] Claims, Bob Parr.


HELEN

I'm calling to celebrate a momentous occasion. We're now officially moved in.


BOB

Yeah, well, that's great, honey. In the last three years don't count because...


HELEN

Because I finally unpacked the last box. Now, it's official. Ha, ha, ha. Why do we have so much junk?


BOB

Listen, honey, I've got a client.


HELEN

Say no more. Go save the world one policy at a time, honey. Oh! I gotta go pick up the kids from school. See you tonight.


BOB

Bye, honey. Excuse me. Where were we?


MRS. HOGENSON

[sobbing] I'm on a fixed income, and if you can't help me, I don't know what I'll do. [blows nose loudly] [sobbing]


BOB

All right, 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...[whispering] Norma Wilcox. W-l-L-C-O-X. On the third floor. But I can't. I also do not advise you to fill out and file a WS2475 form with our legal department on the second floor. I wouldn't expect someone to get back to you quickly to resolve the matter. I'd like to help, but there's nothing I can do.


MRS. HOGENSON

Oh, thank you, young man.


BOB

Shhh! [shouting] I'm sorry, ma'am! I know you're upset! [whispering] Pretend to be upset.


MRS. HOGENSON

[sobbing]


MR. HUPH

Parr! You authorized payment on the Walker policy?!


BOB

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.


[PA Announcement]

Morning break is over. Morning break is over.


__________________________________________SCENE 7__________________________________________


PRINCIPAL

I appreciate you coming down here, Mrs. Parr.


HELEN

What's this about? Has Dash done something wrong?


BERNIE

He's a disruptive influence and he openly mocks me in front of the class.


DASH

He says.


BERNIE

Look, I know it's you! He puts thumbtacks on my stool.


HELEN

You saw him do this?


BERNIE

Well...not really. No. Actually, not.


HELEN

Oh, then how do you know it was him?


BERNIE

I hid a camera. Yeah, and this time, I've got him. See? You see? You don't see it? He moves! Right there! Wait, wait! Right there! Right as I'm sitting down! I don't know how he does it, but there's no tack before he moves and after he moves, there's a tack. Coincidence? I think not!


PRINCIPAL

Bernie...


BERNIE

Don't Bernie me. [screaming] This little rat is guilty!


PRINCIPAL

You and your son can go now, Mrs. Parr. I'm sorry for the trouble.


BERNIE

You're letting him go again? He's guilty! You can see it on his smug little face. Guilty, I say, guilty!


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

Maybe I could, if you'd let me go out for sports.


HELEN

Honey, you know why we can't do that.


DASH

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 temptation.


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

Which is another way of saying no one is.


BOY

Hey, Rydinger. Where you headed?


GIRL

Hi, Tony.


TONY

Hey.


BOY

Hey, Tony, can I carry your books?


TONY

That's kind of funny.


BOY 1

Hey, Tony, do you play football?


BOY 2

Tony, I thought we were gonna go swimming.


VIOLET

He looked at me.


[car horn honking]


DASH

Come on, Violet!


BOB

[muttering] Darn kids. Sitting on the driveway...


BOB

Oh, great.


[unintelligible muttering]

__________________________________________SCENE 8__________________________________________


DASH

Mom. You're making weird faces again.


HELEN

No, I'm not.


BOB

You make weird faces, honey.


HELEN

Do you have to read at the table?


BOB

Uh-huh. Yeah.


HELEN

Smaller bites, Dash. Yikes! Bob, could you help the carnivore cut his meat?


DASH

Ow.


HELEN

Dash, you have something you wanna 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

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 see it on the tape.


BOB

They caught you on tape and you still got away with it? Whoa! You must have been booking. How fast did you think were you going?


HELEN

Bob! We are not encouraging this.


BOB

I'm not encouraging, I'm just asking how fast...


HELEN

Honey!


BOB

Great. First the car, now I gotta pay to fix the table...


HELEN

The car? What happened to the car?


BOB

Here. I'm getting a new plate.


HELEN

So, how about you, Vi? How was school?


VIOLET

Nothing to report.


HELEN

You've hardly touched your food.


VIOLET

I'm not hungry for meatloaf.


HELEN

Well, it is leftover night. We have steak, pasta. What are you hungry for?


DASH

Tony Rydinger.


VIOLET

Shut up!


DASH

Well, you are.


VIOLET

I said, shut up, you little insect!


DASH

Well, she is.


HELEN

Do not shout at the table. Honey!


BOB

Kids! Listen to your mother.


DASH

She'd eat if we were having Tony loaf.


VIOLET

That's it!


HELEN

Stop it!


DASH

You're gonna be toast!


HELEN

Stop running in the house. Sit down!


DASH

Ow! Hey, no force fields!


VIOLET

You started it.


HELEN

You sit down! You sit down! Violet!


BOB

Simon J. Paladino, longtime advocate of superhero rights, is missing? Gazerbeam.


HELEN

Bob! It's time to engage. Do something! Don't just stand there! I need you to intervene!


BOB

You want me to intervene? Okay. I'm intervening. I'm intervening!


HELEN

Violet, let go of your brother!


JACK-JACK

Hello?


BOB

Get the door.


DASH

Hey, Lucius!


LUCIUS

Hey, Speedo. Hey, Helen. Vi, Jack-Jack.


BOB

He-hey! Ice of you to drop by.


LUCIUS

Ha! Never heard that one before.


DASH

[gargling] Lucius!


LUCIUS

Whoa!


LUCIUS

Ha, ha.


DASH

Oh! I like it when it shatters.


BOB

I'll be back later.


HELEN

Hey, where are you two going?


BOB

It's Wednesday.


HELEN

Oh. Bowling night. Say hello to Honey for me, Lucius.


LUCIUS

Will do. Good night, Helen. Good night, kids.


HELEN

Don't think you've avoided talking about your trip to the principal's office, young man. Your father and I are still gonna discuss it.


DASH

I'm not the only kid who's been sent to the office, you know.


HELEN

Other kids don't 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, wait a minute, young lady.


VIOLET

We act normal, mom. I wanna be normal! The only normal one is Jack-Jack, and he's not even toilet trained.


[Jack-Jack laughing]


DASH

Lucky. I meant about being normal.


__________________________________________SCENE 9__________________________________________


LUCIUS

So now I'm in deep trouble. I mean, one more jolt of this death ray and I'm an epitaph. Somehow I managed to find cover and what does Baron Von Ruthless do?


BOB

He starts monologuing.


LUCIUS

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! Yada, yada, yada.


BOB

Yammering.


LUCIUS

Yammering! I mean, the guy has me on a platter, and he won't shut up.


POLICE RADIO

Municiberg, we have a 23-56...


BOB

23-56, what is that? Robbery?


LUCIUS

This is just sad.


BOB

Yeah, robbery. Want to catch a robber?


LUCIUS

No. 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.


WOMAN

He's not alone. The fat guy's still with him. They're just talking.


LUCIUS

What are we doing here, Bob?


BOB

Protecting people.


LUCIUS

Nobody asked us.


BOB

You need an invitation?


LUCIUS

I'd like one, yes. We keep sneaking out to do this, and...you remember Gazerbeam?


BOB

Yeah. There was something about him in the paper.


LUCIUS

He had trouble adjusting to civilian life, too.


BOB

When's the last time you saw him?


LUCIUS

I don't see anyone from the old days, Bob. Just you. And we're pushing our luck as it is.


BOB

Oh, come on.


LUCIUS

It was fun the first time, but if we keep doing this, we're gonna get--


POLICE RADIO

We have a report on a fire...


BOB

A fire. We're close! [yelling] Yeah, baby!


LUCIUS

We're gonna get caught.


BOB

Woohoo! Haha! Fire! Yeah!


LUCIUS

Is that everybody?


BOB

Yeah, that's everyone.


LUCIUS

It better be.


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 can use water in the air!


LUCIUS

There is no water in this air! What's your excuse, run out of muscle?


BOB

I just can't go smashing into 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

All right! Stay right on my tail! This is gonna get hot!


BOB

Yeah.


BOB

[realizes they're in a jewelry store...] Uh-oh.


BOB

[...and unknowingly trips the alarm] Oh, good.


[alarm sounds]


LUCIUS

Oh, now...that ain't right!


LUCIUS/BOB

- We look like bad guys! Incompetent bad guys!

- You can get water out of the air!


POLICE OFFICER

Freeze!


POLICE OFFICER

Freeze!


LUCIUS

I'm thirsty.


POLICE OFFICER

I said freeze!


LUCIUS

I'm just getting a drink.


POLICE OFFICER

Alright. You've had your drink. Now I want you to...


LUCIUS

I know. I know. Freeze.


[police radio chatter]


POLICE RADIO

Shots fired!


OFFICERS

Police officers!


LUCIUS

That was way too close. We are not doing that again.


MAN

[over radio] Verify you want to switch targets? Over.


WOMAN

Trust me. This is the one he's been looking for.


__________________________________________SCENE 10__________________________________________


HELEN

I thought you'd be back by 11 .


BOB

I said I'd be back later.


HELEN

I assumed you'd be back later. lf you came back at all...you'd be back later.


BOB

Well, I'm back, okay?


HELEN

Is this rubble?


BOB

[with mouth full] It was just a little workout. Just to stay loose.


HELEN

You know how I feel about that, Bob. Darn you! We can't blow cover again!


BOB

The building was coming down anyway.


HELEN

What?! You knocked down a building?!


BOB

It was on fire. Structurally unsound. It was coming down anyway.


HELEN

Tell me you haven't been listening to the police scanner again?


BOB

Look, I performed a public service. You act like that's a bad thing.


HELEN

It is a bad thing, Bob! Uprooting our family again, so you can relive the glory days is a very bad thing.


BOB

Reliving the glory days is better than acting like they didn't happen!


HELEN

Yes! They happened! But this, our family, is what's happening now, Bob. And you are missing this! I can't believe you don't want to go to your own son's graduation.


BOB

It's not a graduation. He's moving from the fourth grade to the fifth grade.


HELEN

It's a ceremony!


BOB

It's psychotic! They keep creating new ways to celebrate mediocrity but if someone is genuinely exceptional...


HELEN

This is not about you, Bob. This is about Dash.


BOB

You want to do something for Dash? Then let him actually compete. Let him go out for sports!


HELEN

I will not be made the enemy here! You know why we can't do that.


BOB

Because he'd be great!


HELEN

This is not about you!


BOB

All right, Dash. I know you're listening. Come on out.


HELEN

Vi? You, too, young lady.


BOB

Come on. Come on out. It's okay, kids. We're just having a discussion.


VIOLET

Pretty loud discussion.


BOB

Yeah. But that's okay. Because what's important is that Mommy and I are always a team. We're always united against, uh, the forces of, uh...


HELEN

Pigheadedness?


BOB

I was gonna say evil or something.


HELEN

We're sorry we woke you. Everything's okay. Go back to bed. It's late.


DASH

Good night, Mom. Night, Dad.


VIOLET

Good night.


HELEN

In fact, we should all be in bed.

Mr. Huph would like to talk to you in his office.


BOB

Now?


HUPH'S SECRETARY [over the intercom]

Now.


MR. HUPH

Sit down, Bob.


MR. HUPH

I'm not happy, Bob. Not happy. Ask me why.


BOB

Okay. Why?


MR. HUPH

Why what? Be specific, Bob.


BOB

Why are you unhappy?


MR. HUPH

Your customers make me unhappy.


BOB

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

Did I do something illegal?


MR. HUPH

No.


BOB

Are you saying we shouldn't help our customers?


MR. HUPH

The law requires that I answer no.


BOB

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? You know, Bob, a company...


BOB

Is like an enormous clock.


MR. HUPH

...is like an enormous clo--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. [chuckling] I'm being metaphorical, Bob. You know what I mean by cooperative cogs? Bob? Bob? Look at me when I'm talking to you, Parr!


BOB

That man out there, he needs help.


MR. HUPH

Do not change the subject, Bob. We're discussing your attitude!


BOB

He is getting mugged!


MR. HUPH

Well, let's hope we don't cover him.


BOB

I'll be right back.


MR. HUPH

Stop right now or you're fired! Close the door. Get over here, now.


MR. HUPH

I'm not happy, Bob. Not happy.


BOB

He got away.


MR. HUPH

Good thing, too. You were this close to losing your jo--

Uh-oh.

He'll live.


BOB

I'm fired, aren't I?


RICK

Oh, you think?


BOB

What can I say, Rick?


RICK

Nothing you haven't said before.


BOB

Someone was in trouble.


RICK

Someone's always in trouble.


BOB

I had to do something.


RICK

Yeah. Every time you say those words, it means a month and a half of trouble for me, Bob. It means hundreds of thousands of taxpayer's dollars.


BOB

I know.


RICK

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.


RICK

Listen, Bob. Maybe I could relocate you, you know, for old times' sake.


BOB

No, I can't do that to my family. Everyone just got settled. I'll make it work. Thanks.


RICK

Take care of yourself.


BOB

Well, what are you waiting for?

I don't know. Something amazing, I guess.

It's the TV, trying to watch.

BOB

Honey? About the job?


HELEN

What?


BOB

Something's happened.


HELEN

What?


BOB

The, uh...


HELEN

What?


BOB

The company is sending me to, uh, a conference.


HELEN

A conference?


BOB

[stammering] Out of town. And I'm just gonna be gone for a few days.


HELEN

They've never sent you to a conference before. This is good, isn't it?

[hesitating] Yes.

You see? They're finally recognizing your talents. You're moving up.


BOB

Yes.


HELEN

Honey! This is wonderful!

Yes, it is.


[phone ringing]


MIRAGE [over phone]

Hello?


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

This is Mr. lncredible. I'm in.


__________________________________________SCENE 15__________________________________________


MIRAGE

The Omnidroid 9000 is a top secret prototype battle robot. lts artificial intelligence enables it to solve any problem it's confronted with. And, unfortunately...


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Let me guess. It got smart enough to wonder why it had to take orders.


MIRAGE

We lost control. And now it's loose in the jungle, threatening our facility. We've had to evacuate all personnel from the island for their own safety.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

How am I going in?


MIRAGE

The Omnidroid's defenses necessitate an air drop from 5000 feet. lts cloaking devices make it difficult to track. Although we're pretty sure it's on the southern half of the island. One more thing. Obviously it represents a significant investment.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

You want me to shut it down without completely destroying it.


MIRAGE You are Mr. lncredible.


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.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Shut it down. Do it quickly. Don't destroy it.


MIRAGE

And don't die.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Great. Thanks.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Showtime.

Uh-oh.

BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Oh, my back!

BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Oh!


MAN

Surprising. We must bring him back. Sound the all clear, and invite him to dinner.


__________________________________________SCENE 16__________________________________________


MAN Most important, keep things light. Praise him. Make him feel like we appreciate his abilities.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Am I overdressed?


MIRAGE

Actually, you look rather dashing.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

I take it our host is...


MIRAGE

Oh, I'm sorry. He won't be dining with us. He hopes you'll understand.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Of course. I do usually make it a point to know who I'm working for.


MIRAGE

He prefers a certain amount of anonymity. Surely, you of all people understand that.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

I was just wondering, of all the places to settle down, why live...


MIRAGE

With a volcano? He's attracted to power. So am I. It's a weakness we share.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Seems a bit unstable.


MIRAGE

I prefer to think of it as misunderstood.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

[chuckling] Aren't we all?


MIRAGE

Volcanic soil is among the most fertile on Earth. Everything at the table was grown right here. How does it compare?


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Everything's delicious.

__________________________________________SCENE 17__________________________________________

Have a great day, honey.

Thanks.

HELEN

All that jazz.


GUARD

You have an appointment?


BOB

I'm an old friend. I just wanted to...


GUARD

All visitors are required to make a reser--


E

[shoos the guard away] Get back to work! Go check the electric fence or something! What is it? Who are you? What do you want?


E

My God, you've gotten fat. Come in. Come, come.


E

Yes, things are going quite well. Quite well. My God, no complaints. But, you know, it is not the same. Not the same at all.


BOB

Weren't you just in the news? Some show in Prayge... Prague?


E

Milan, darling. Milan. 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. But perhaps you come with a challenge, eh? I was surprised to get your call.


BOB

E, I just need a patch job.


E

Hmm. This is megamesh. Outmoded, but very sturdy. And you've torn right through it! What have you been doing, Robert? Moonlighting hero work?


BOB

Must have happened a long time ago.


E

I see. 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 do you mean? You designed it.


E

I never look back, darling. It distracts from the now. You need a new suit. That much is certain.


BOB

A new suit? Where the heck am I gonna get a new suit?


E

You can't! It's impossible! I'm far too busy. So ask me now, before I again become sane.


BOB

Wait. You want to make me a suit?


E

You push too hard, darling! But I accept. It will be bold. Dramatic!


BOB

Yeah.


E

Heroic!


BOB

Yeah, something classic, like Dynaguy! Oh! He had a great look! Oh, the cape and the boots...


E

No capes!


BOB

Isn't that my decision?


E

Do you remember Thunderhead? Tall, storm powers. Nice man. Good with kids.


BOB

Listen, E...


E

November 15th of '58. All was well, another day saved when his cape snagged on a missile fin.


BOB

Thunderhead was not the brightest bulb...


E

Stratogale! April 23rd, '57. Cape caught in a jet turbine.


BOB

E, you can't generalize about these things.


E

Meta-man, express elevator. Dynaguy, snag on takeoff. Splashdown, sucked into a vortex. No capes! Now, go on. Your new suit will be finished before your next assignment.


BOB

You know I'm retired from hero work.


E

As am l, Robert. Yet, here we are.


BOB

E, I only need a patch job. For sentimental reasons.


E

[sighs] Fine. I will also fix the hobo suit.


BOB

You're the best of the best, E.


E

Yes, I know, darling. I know.

I'll leave tomorrow morning.

See you there.

Goodbye.

Helen Parr? You know...Elastigirl?


E

Darling! It's been such a long time after all these years! So long!


HELEN

Yes, yes, yes. It's been a while. Listen, there's only one person Bob would trust to patch his supersuit and that's you, E.


E

Yes, yes, yes. Marvelous, isn't it? Much better than those horrible pajamas he used to wear. They are finished. When are you coming to see?


HELEN

Look, I'm calling about...


E

Don't make me beg, darling. I won't do it, you know.


HELEN

Beg? Uh, no. I'm calling about suit. Ab-about Bob's suit! I'm calling about Bob's suit!


E

You come in one hour, darling. I insist, okay? Okay. Goodbye.

SYNDROME

It's bigger! It's badder! Ladies and gentlemen, it's too much for Mr. lncredible! Whoa! Whoa! It's finally ready. You know, I went through quite a few supers to get it worthy to fight you, but man, it wasn't good enough! After you trashed the last one, I had to make some major modifications. Sure it was difficult, but you are worth it. I mean, after all...I am your biggest fan.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Buddy?


SYNDROME

My name is not Buddy! And it's not lncrediBoy either! That ship has sailed. All I wanted was to help you. I only wanted to help! And what did you say to me?


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Fly home, Buddy. I work alone.


SYNDROME

It tore me apart. But I learned an important lesson. You can't count on anyone. Especially your heroes.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

I was wrong to treat you that way. I'm sorry.


SYNDROME

See? Now you respect me, because I'm a threat. That's the way it works. Turns out there's a lot 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 only I can defeat. And when I unleash it, I'll get--


SYNDROME

[laughing] You sly dog! You got me monologuing. I can't believe it. It's cool, huh? Zero-point energy. I save the best inventions for myself. Am I good enough now? Who's super now? I'm Syndrome! Your nemesis and...


SYNDROME

Oh, brilliant!


SYNDROME

All right, try this one on for size, big boy.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Gazerbeam.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Kronos?


PROBE

Life reading negative. Mr. Incredible terminated.

__________________________________________SCENE 21__________________________________________


E

This project has completely confiscated my life, darling. Consumed me as only hero work can. My best work, I must admit. Simple, elegant, yet bold. You will die.


HELEN

E, I just...


E

I did Robert's suit, and it turned out so beautiful, I had to continue.


HELEN

E, It's great to see you, but I gotta tell you I have no idea what you're talking about. I just...


E

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.


E

Edna Mode. And guest.


E

Come. Sit.


E

Cream and sugar?


HELEN

Thanks.


E

I started with the baby.


HELEN

Started?


E

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?!


E

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.


E

No? Well, he'll look fabulous anyway.


E

Your boy's suit I designed to withstand enormous friction without heating up or wearing out. A useful feature.


E

Your daughter's suit was tricky. But I finally created a sturdy material that will disappear completely as she does.


E

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

What do I think? Bob is retired! I'm retired! Our family is underground. You helped my husband resume secret hero work behind my back?!


E

Well, I assumed you knew, darling. Why would he keep secrets from you?


HELEN

He wouldn't. Didn't. Doesn't.


E

Men at Robert's age are often unstable. Prone to weakness.


HELEN

What are you saying?


E

Do you know where he is?


HELEN

Of course.


E

Do you know where he is?

Oh, hello. This is Helen Parr. Bob Parr is my husband. I was wondering if you could give me the number of the hotel he's staying at? The number I have is no good.

Mr. Parr no longer works at Insuricare.

What do you mean? He's on a business trip. A company retreat.


WOMAN

My records say his employment was terminated almost two months ago.

HELEN

Now I'm losing him! What'll I do? What'll I do?


E

What are you talking about?


HELEN

Hmm?


E

You are Elastigirl! My God! Pull yourself together! What will you do? Is this a question? Show him you remember that he is Mr. lncredible, and you will remind him 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.


HELEN

There's lots of leftovers that 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 either he's in trouble, or he's going to be.


DASH

Hey! What's that? Where'd you get that, Mom? You made a cool outfit? Hey, are those for us? We all get cool outfits?

Look, I'm The Dash! The Dash likes.

Just a second. Take that off before somebody sees it.


VIOLET

But you're packing one just like it. Are you hiding something?


HELEN

Oh, please, honey. I'm on the phone...Dash!


DASH

Yikes! This is yours. It's specially made.


VIOLET

What's going on?


HELEN

You're not coming! And I've gotta pack!


VIOLET

I don't know. Why'd Mom try to hide it?

You sir, truly are Mr. lncredible! 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] And then you had to just go and ruin the ride. I mean, Mr. lncredible calling for help? [mocking] Help me, help me. Lame, lame, lame, lame, lame! All right, who did you contact?!


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Contact? What are you talking about?

I am referring to last night at 2307 hours while you were snooping around. You sent out a homing signal.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

I didn't know about the homing device.

DASH

That's not true!


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

Dash?!


VIOLET/DASH

- ...and I thought he'd try to sneak on the plane so I came here and you closed the doors before I could find him and then you took off and [to Dash] it's not my fault!

- You said, Something's up with Mom. We have to find out what!" It was your idea! Your idea! Hundred percent all-yours, all-the-time idea!


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

Wait a minute, wait a minute. You left Jack-Jack alone?!


VIOLET/DASH

- Yes, mom, I'm completely stupid...of course we got a sitter! Do you think I'm totally irresponsible? Thanks a lot!

- No, we got someone, Mom. Someone great. We wouldn't do that.


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

All right! Well, who'd you get?


KARI

You don't have to worry about one single thing, Mrs. Parr. I've got this baby-sitting thing wired. I've taken courses and learned CPR and I got excellent marks and certificates...


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

Kari.


KARI

I also brought Mozart to play while he sleeps to make him smarter because leading experts say Mozart makes babies smarter.


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

Kari...


KARI

And the beauty part is that the babies don't even have to listen 'cause they're asleep! You know, I wish my parents played Mozart when I slept because half the time I don't even know what the heck anyone's talking about.


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

Kari, I really don't feel comfortable with this. I'll pay you for your trouble, but I'd really rather call a service.


KARI

Oh, there's really no need, Mrs. Parr. I can totally handle anything this baby can dish out. [cooing] Can't I, little baby? I can handle it. Who can handle it?

Disengage! Repeat, disengage! Friendlies...


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

No! Call off the missiles. I'll do anything!


SYNDROME

Too late! Fifteen years too late.


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

Friendlies at two-zero miles south-southwest of your position. Angels 10. Track east. Disengage! [to Violet] Vi! You have to put a force field around the plane.


VIOLET

But you said we weren't supposed to use our powers.


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

I know what I said! Listen to what I'm saying now!


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

Disengage. Repeat, disengage!


DASH

Mom?


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

Violet!


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

Mayday, mayday! India Golf niner-niner is buddy-spiked! Abort! Abort! There are children aboard, say again, there are children aboard!


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

No!


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

[to Violet] Put a field around us now!


VIOLET

I've never done one that big!


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

Violet, do it now!


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

Abort, abort, abort!


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

Abort, abort, abort!


[all screaming]


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

Brace yourselves!


VIOLET/DASH

Mom! Mom!


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

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!


DASH/VIOLET

- Oh, my God! Who's idea was this anyway?!

- What are we gonna do?! What are we gonna do?!


DASH

We're dead! We're dead!


VIOLET

It blew up!


DASH

We survived but we're dead!


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

Stop it! We are not gonna die! Now both of you will get a grip. Or so help me I will ground you for a month! Understand?


MIRAGE

We have a confirmed hit. Target was destroyed.


SYNDROME

Ah, you'll get over it. I seem to recall you prefer to work alone. [evil laughter]


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Release me...now!


SYNDROME

Or what?


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

I'll crush her.


SYNDROME

That sounds a little dark for you. Well, go ahead.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

It'll be easy. Like breaking a toothpick.


SYNDROME

[laughing] Show me.


SYNDROME

I knew you couldn't do it. Even when you have nothing to lose. You're weak. And I've outgrown you.


[Bob sobbing]


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

Those were short-range missiles. Land-based. That way is our best bet.


DASH

You want to go toward the people that tried to kill us?


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

lf it means land, yes.


VIOLET

Do you expect us to swim there?


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

I expect you to trust me.

__________________________________________SCENE 25__________________________________________


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

What a trooper. I'm so proud of you.


DASH

Thanks, mom.


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

I think your father is in trouble.


VIOLET

lf you haven't noticed, mom, we're not doing so hot either.


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

I'm going to look for him. And that means you're in charge until I get back, Violet.


DASH

What?!


VIOLET You heard her.


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

Put these on. Your identity is your most valuable possession. Protect it. And if anything goes wrong, use your powers.


VIOLET

But you said never to use...


VIOLET

I know what I said! [sighs] Remember the bad guys on those shows you used to watch on Saturday mornings? Well, these guys are not like those guys. 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 (ELASTIGIRL)

Vi, I'm counting on you.


VIOLET

There's something I...


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

I'm counting on you. Be strong. Dash, if anything goes wrong, I want you to run as fast as you can.


DASH

As fast as I can?


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

As fast as you can. Stay hidden. Keep each other safe. I'll be back by morning.


VIOLET

Mom! Mom, what happened on the plane. I'm sorry. [stammering] I wanted to help. I mean, when you asked me to... I'm sorry.


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

Shh. 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. lf the time comes, you'll know what to do. It's in your blood.


MIRAGE

He's not weak, you know.


SYNDROME

What?


MIRAGE

Valuing life is not weakness.


SYNDROME

Oh, hey. Look, look...if you're talking about what happened in the containment unit, I had everything under control.


MIRAGE

And disregarding it is not strength.


SYNDROME

I called his bluff, sweetheart, that's all. I knew he wouldn't have it in him to actually...


MIRAGE

Next time you gamble, bet your own life!


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

Okay, okay, okay.


[voices on radio]


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

A rocket?


[sighs, gasps]


GUARD

Hey!


[struggling]


DASH

Well, not that this isn't fun, but I'm gonna go look around.


VIOLET

What do you think is going on here? You think we're on vacation or something? Mom and Dad's lives could be in jeopardy. Or worse, [whispering] 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.


DASH

Okay, I'm gonna go look around.


VIOLET

Mom said to stay hidden.


DASH

I'm not gonna leave the cave. Sheesh!


[voices over radio]


DASH

[echoing] Cool!


DASH

[echoing] Cool!


[over radio] Roger. We are ready for launch.


DASH

Vi, Vi!


VIOLET

What did you do?


[over radio] ETA two-niner. Over. TCI clear. Condition yellow. Status norm.

[over radio] Not responding to IFF. IRCM reads negative.


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

[gasps] Bob.


GUARD 1

Huh? What?


GUARD 2

Uh, I didn't say anything.

Hey! Hey, Violet! Come here, look.


VIOLET

What?


DASH

It talks!


VIOLET

What?


DASH

There. That one.


ROBOT

Voice key incorrect.


VIOLET

Voice key?


ROBOT

Voice key incorrect.


VIOLET

Wait a second...


[alarm sounds]


DASH

What do we do?


VIOLET

Run!


DASH

Where are we going?


VIOLET

Away from here!


[PA] Intruder alert. Intruder alert. Intruder alert.


MIRAGE

There isn't much time.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

[grabs Mirage by the neck] No, there isn't. In fact, there's no time at all.


MIRAGE

[choking] Please...


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Why are you here? How can you possibly bring me lower? What more can you take away from me?


MIRAGE

[choking] Family survived the crash. They're here on the island!


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

They're alive?


MIRAGE

[gasping, coughing]


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Helen?


MIRAGE

Hello. You must be Mrs. Incre--


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

She was helping me to escape.


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

No. That's what I was doing. Let go of me! Let go, you lousy, lying, unfaithful creep!


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

How could I betray the perfect woman?


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

Oh, you're referring to me now?


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Where are the kids?


MIRAGE

They might've triggered the alert.


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

What?!


MIRAGE

Security's been sent into the jungle. You better get going.


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

Now our kids are in danger?!


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

lf you suspected danger, why'd you bring them?


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

I didn't bring 'em, they stowed away. And I don't think you're not striking the proper tone here!


GUARD

Think they're supers?


VIOLET

Dash, remember what Mom said.


DASH

What?


GUARD 2

Hey! Stop talking!


GUARD 3

Hold it! Freeze!


VIOLET

Dash, run!


DASH

What?


VIOLET

Run!


DASH

Oh yeah!


GUARD

What the--?! They're supers!


GUARD 2

Get the boy! Show yourself!


[spitting]


[Dash screams]


GUARD

Hey!


DASH

Ha, ha!


DASH

I'm alive. Yeah!


[Dash shouting]


DASH

Uh-oh.


[water sloshing]


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

I should've told you I was fired, I admit it. But I didn't want you to worry.


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

You didn't want me to worry? And now we're running for our lives through some godforsaken jungle!


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

You keep trying to pick a fight, but I'm still just happy you're alive.


GUARD

I know you're there, Little Miss Disappear.


GUARD

You can't hide from me.


GUARD

There you are.


DASH

Hey!


DASH

Don't touch my sister!


DASH

How are you doing that?


VIOLET

I don't know!


DASH

Whatever you do, don't stop!


VIOLET

Mom! Dad! Hey!


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Kids!


MR. INCREDIBLE/ELASTIGIRL

- You're all right.

- Oh, you're all right!


VIOLET

We were so worried about you.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

I thought I'd never see you again.


MR. INCREDIBLE/ELASTIGIRL

I love you.


DASH

Wow.


VIOLET

Whoa.


SYNDROME

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hey, time out! What have we here? Matching uniforms? Oh, no! Elastigirl? [laughs] You married Elastigirl? Whoa! And got busy! It's a whole family of supers! Looks like I've hit the jackpot! Oh, this is just too good!


__________________________________________SCENE 27__________________________________________


- [on TV] The ship's unique design suggests...

- [on TV] There were no fatalities...


SYNDROME

Huh? Huh? Oh, come on! You gotta admit, this is cool. Just like a movie! The robot will 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!


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

You mean you killed off real heroes so that 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. [evil laughter]


[soldiers shouting]


SOLDIER

Fire at will!


- [on TV] It's completely overwhelming the tanks.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

I'm sorry. This is my fault. I've been a lousy father. Blind to what I have. So obsessed with being undervalued that I undervalued all of you.


DASH

Um..dad?


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

Shh. Don't interrupt.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

So caught up in the past that I...You are my greatest adventure. And I almost missed it. I swear, I'm gonna get us out of this safely if I...


VIOLET

Well, I think Dad has made some excellent progress today but I think it's time we wind down now.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

We need to get back to the mainland.


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

I saw an aircraft hangar on my way in. Straight ahead, I think.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Where are all the guards?


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Go, go!


GUARD

Hey, look. Hey! Every time they run, you take a shot.


GUARD 2

Yeah, okay.


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

This is the right hangar, but I don't see any jets.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

A jet's not fast enough.


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

What's faster than a jet?


DASH

Hey, how about a rocket?


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

Great! I can't fly a rocket.


VIOLET

You don't have to. Use the coordinates from the last launch.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Wait. I bet Syndrome's changed the password by now. How do I get into the computer?


MIRAGE

Say please.

LUCIUS (FROZONE)

Where is my supersuit?


HONEY

I, uh...put it away.


LUCIUS (FROZONE)

Where?


HONEY

Why do you need to know?


LUCIUS (FROZONE)

I need it!


HONEY

Uh-uh! Don't you think about running off doing no derrin'-do! We've been planning this dinner for two months!


LUCIUS (FROZONE)

The public is in danger!


HONEY

My evening's in danger!


LUCIUS (FROZONE)

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!


MAN

Run!


WOMAN

My baby!


MAN

The supers have returned!


WOMAN

Is that Fironic?


MAN

Fironic?


WOMAN

No, Fironic has a different outfit.


SYNDROME

No, no, I'm a new superhero! I'm Syndrome!


SYNDROME

All right, stand back.


SYNDROME

Someone needs to teach this hunk of metal a few manners.


SYNDROME

Ha, ha!


DASH

Are we there yet?


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

We get there when we get there.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

How you doing, honey?


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

Do I have to answer?!


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Kids, strap yourselves down like I told you!


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Here we go, honey!


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Ready, Violet? Ready? Now!


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

This is gonna be rough!


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

The robot's in the financial district. Which exit do I take?


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

Traction Avenue.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

That'll take me downtown. I take Seventh, don't I?


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

Don't take Seventh!


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Great, we missed it!


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

You asked me how to get there and I told you. Exit at Traction!


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

That'll take me downtown!


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

He's coming up! Get in the right lane! Signal!


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Not Traction!


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

You're gonna miss it!


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Is everybody okay back there?


VIOLET

Super-duper, Dad!


DASH

[laughing] Let's do that again.


[people screaming]


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Wait here and stay hidden. I'm going in.


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

While what? I watch helplessly from the sidelines? I don't think so.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

I'm asking you to wait with the kids.


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

And I'm telling you not a chance. You're my husband. I'm with you for better or worse.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

I have to do this alone.


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

What is this to you? Playtime?


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

No.


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

So you can be Mr. lncredible again?


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

No!


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

Then what? What is it?


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

I'm not...


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

Not what?


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

I'm not strong enough.


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

Strong enough. And this will make you stronger?


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Yes. No!


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

That's what this is? Some sort of workout?


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

I can't lose you again!


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

I can't. Not again. I'm not... strong enough.


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

lf we work together, you won't have to be.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

I don't know what'll happen.


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

Hey. We're superheroes. What can happen?


[screaming]


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

Vi! Dash! No!


DASH

Violet?


DASH

Dad!


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Go, go!


VIOLET

I'm okay, mom. Really.


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

Stay here, okay?


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Frozone! Yeah!


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

Bob!


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Hey!


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Syndrome's remote!


VIOLET

The remote controls the robot!


DASH

Hey, dad! Throw it, throw it!


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Go long!


DASH

Got it!


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Honey, take out its guns!


LUCIUS (FROZONE)

Dash! Gotcha!


VIOLET

Mom, I've got it! I've got the remote!


LUCIUS (FROZONE)

A remote? A remote that controls what? The robot?


DASH

It's coming back!


DASH

That wasn't right.


VIOLET

Give me that!


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

We can't stop it. The only thing hard enough to penetrate it is...itself.


DASH

It's getting closer!


VIOLET

It doesn't work!


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

Kids!


LUCIUS (FROZONE)

It's not doing anything!


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

Lucius, try to buy us some time!


LUCIUS (FROZONE)

Try the one next to it!


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Honey!


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Wait a minute. Press that button again!


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

No, the other one! The first one!


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

First button! Got it!


DASH

It's getting closer!


LUCIUS (FROZONE)

Look out!


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

Get out of here, kids! Find a safe spot!


VIOLET

We're not going anywhere!


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Press the button!


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

Not yet!


LUCIUS (FROZONE)

Hang on!


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

What are you waiting for?!


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

A closer target! You got one shot!


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Everybody duck!


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Hey, Zone.


SYNDROME

Huh? No!


OLD MAN

Hey, did you see that? Eh? That's the way to do it. That's old school.


OLD MAN 2

Yeah. No school like the old school.


LUCIUS (FROZONE)

Just like old times.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Just like old times [gives Frozone a heavy pat on the back]


LUCIUS (FROZONE)

Oh! Yeah. Hurt then too.

RICK

We've frozen all of Syndrome's assets. lf he even sneezes, we'll be there with a hanky and a pair of handcuffs. The people of this country are indebted to you.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Does this mean we can come out of hiding?


RICK

Let the politicians figure that one out. But I've been asked to assure you we'll take care of everything else. You did good, Bob.


[phone beeps]


Hi, this is Kari. I have a question about Jack-Jack..style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Tahoma'>.


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

Come on. We're in a limo.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Hey, you're wearing your hair back?


VIOLET

[stammering] Yeah, I just... yeah.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

It looks good.


VIOLET

Thanks, Dad.


DASH

That was so cool when you threw that car!


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

Not as cool as you running on water!


DASH

Hey, mom! That was sweet when you snagged that bad guy with your arm and kinda whiplashed him into the other guy. It was so sweet!


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

Honey, uh, yeah, I'm trying to listen to messages, honey.


[Kari]

- Mrs. Parr, it's me. Jack-Jack is fine, but weird things are happening.

- Jack-Jack's still fine, but I'm getting really weirded out! When are you coming back?


DASH

...aced those guys that tried to kill us! That was the best vacation ever! I love our family.


[Kari]

- I'm not fine, Mrs. Parr! Put that down! Stop it! You need to call me. I need help, Mrs. Parr!


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

Bob, listen to this.


[Kari]

- I'm gonna call the police...

- Hi, this is Kari. Sorry for freaking out, but your baby has special needs.


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

"Special needs"?


RICK

Here we are.


[Kari]

- Anyway, thanks for sending a replacement sitter.


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

Replacement? I didn't call a replacement.


SYNDROME

Shh. The baby is sleeping. You took away my future. I'm simply returning the favor. Oh, 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. Ha ha!


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

He's getting away, Bob! We have to do something! We have to do something now!


[Jack-Jack cries]


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

Something's happening. What's happening?!


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

We have to stop him! Throw something!


BOB (MR. INCREDIBLE)

I can't! I might hit Jack-Jack!


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

Throw me.


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

Bob, throw me!


[Jack-Jack cooing]


SYNDROME

No!


SYNDROME

This isn't the end of it! I will get your son, eventually. I'll get your son!


SYNDROME

Oh, no.


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

Look at Mommy, honey. Don't look down. Mommy's got you. Everything is all right.


HELEN (ELASTIGIRL)

That's my girl.

Does this mean we have to move again?

Oh, man. That was totally wicked!
