Background [ ]

Development [ ].

Brad Bird originally pitched the idea of Bomb Voyage's name. His original idea was that Bomb Voyage would be named " Bomb Pérignon " in reference to the similarly named champagne, Dom Pérignon, but the Moët et Chandon company would not allow that kind of parody.

Personality [ ]

Apart from his obviously evil and insane persona, Bomb Voyage is very sarcastic, mocking "Incrediboy" for trying to intervene on him.

Role in the film [ ]

Bomb Voyage is a recurring enemy of Mr. Incredible as he is introduced. He is a mime-like criminal who speaks French, although he can understand English as well.

When he is first introduced, Bomb Voyage crashes through a brick wall after stealing money. Just before Mr. Incredible could fight him, a young Buddy Pine (as "IncrediBoy", Mr. Incredible's so-called sidekick) arrived and tried to appeal to Mr. Incredible that he would be a worthy sidekick for him (and that he invented new rocket boots, which make him get around so fast). Mr. Incredible then told him, "Fly home, Buddy. I work alone" while Bomb Voyage agreed with him by insulting Buddy's "ridiculous" costume and calling him a "little oaf" (in French). Bomb Voyage then took advantage of the distraction to aid his escape. As Buddy flew off to get the police, Bomb Voyage put a bomb on his cape (unbeknownst to him), forcing Mr. Incredible to release Bomb Voyage in order to save Buddy. Bomb Voyage was presumably aware of Mr. Incredible's persona in that in a tight situation, he would choose saving people over apprehending criminals.

Bomb Voyage successfully made a getaway, and it is presumed that he remained at large for the remainder of the film. He was also partially responsible for the Anti-Super Legislation Act being enacted, as the bomb he placed on Buddy was later removed from his cape by Mr. Incredible and managed to land and detonate on a railroad bridge, which forced Mr. Incredible to stand in the path of the train to prevent it from falling off the broken bridge, which resulted in the passengers suing Mr. Incredible, and acting as the jury in his lawsuit trial, that eventually led to it being passed.

Video games [ ]

In the video game version , Voyage is the main villain for the first three levels of the game and he speaks English. In the last level he is involved in, he recreates the scene in the movie, placing a bomb on Buddy Pine's cape, forcing Mr. Incredible to save him. After this, he attempts to escape in a helicopter, and Mr. Incredible defeats him by throwing six bombs at the chopper, causing it to fly out of control and leave the scene.

Printed media [ ]

In the comic series, Bomb Voyage is recruited by Xerek to make the Eiffel Tower vanish with one of his bombs, and later meets Elastigirl and Mirage in person when they arrive to investigate, when he attempts to escape, Elastigirl follows him throughout Paris and eventually shakes Xerek's location out of him. Since it has been 15 years since his appearance in the movie, Bomb Voyage has aged significantly, with a potbelly and balding hair.

Transcript [ ]

Scene #1 [ ].

Mr. Incredible: Is this on? Interviewer: [offscreen] That’s fine. Mr. Incredible: I can break through walls, I just can’t… Interviewer: [offscreen] That’s fine. Mr. Incredible: I can’t get this on. Interviewer: [offscreen] 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 Avenue. Bob (Mr. Incredible) : Yeah, I’ve got time. Old Lady : Mr. Incredible. 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.

[ Mr. Incredible gets into his car ] 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! [ gets out of Mr. Incredible’s car ] 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- (he gets knocked out by a hand)

Bob (Mr. Incredible) : Elastigirl.

Elastigirl : Mr. lncredible.

Bob (Mr. Incredible) : No, it’s all right. I’ve got him.

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.

Elastigirl : A fact I exploited to do my job.

Bob (Mr. Incredible) : My job, you mean.

Elastigirl : A simple thank you will suffice.

Bob (Mr. Incredible) : Thanks, but I don’t need any help.

Elastigirl : Whatever happened to "ladies first"?

Bob (Mr. Incredible) : Well, whatever happened to equal treatment?

Thief: Hey, look, the lady got me first.... (Ironically, he gets knocked out again by Elastigirl.)

Elastigirl : Well, we could share, you know.

Bob (Mr. Incredible) : I work alone.

Elastigirl : Well, I think you need to be more… flexible.

Bob (Mr. Incredible) : Are you doing anything later?

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.

Frozone : Hey, lncredible!

Bob (Mr. Incredible) : Hey, Frozone!

Frozone : Shouldn’t you be getting ready?

Bob (Mr. Incredible) : I still got time.

[crowd screaming]

Woman : He’s gonna jump!

[Mr. Incredible then watches Sansweet jump down, with the croud's screaming magnified. He runs forward, and catches him just in time as he runs into the building.]

Sansweet : I think you broke something.

Bob (Mr. Incredible) : With counseling, I think you’ll come to forgive me. Wait a minute.

[He drags him to safety, and hears noises from the wall. He takes cover with the Seal Door, as a bomb explodes, leaving smoke and a hole in the wall. Bomb Voyage emerges from the hole.]

Bob (Mr. Incredible) : [coughing] Bomb Voyage!

Bomb Voyage : [French] Mr. Incredible!

Incrediboy : And lncrediBoy!

Bomb Voyage : lncrediBoy?

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.

Incrediboy : What?

Bob (Mr. Incredible) : Now.

Bomb Voyage : [French] Little oaf.

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.

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.

Bomb Voyage : [French] And your outfit is totally ridiculous!

Incrediboy : Just give me one chance! I’ll show you. I’ll go get the police.

Bob (Mr. Incredible) :Buddy, don’t!

Incrediboy : It’ll only take a second, really.

Bob (Mr. Incredible) : No, stop! There’s a bomb!

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!

Incrediboy : Let go of my cape!

[He does, as the bomb drops onto a train track below. It then explodes, destroying a huge chunk of the bridge.]

[A train was approaching, and Mr. Incredible runs forward to it, stops, and lets the train hit his hands. The train does, as the passengers brutally get thrown forward, and the train slowly comes to a halt, almost falling down the bridge.]

SCENE #4 [ ]

Bob (Mr. Incredible) : Take this one home. And make sure his mom knows what he’s been doing.

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?

Mr. Incredible : Well, yeah. Skippy here made sure of that.

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: Hey, is the night still young?

Lucius: You’re very late.

Bob: How do I look? Good?

Lucius: Oh, the mask! You still got the mask. (He takes Bob's mask off.)

[cracks neck]

Bob: Showtime. (He proceeds to enter the church.)

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

Helen: You’re late. When you asked me if I was doing anything later, I didn’t realize you’d actually forgotten. I thought it was playful banter.

Bob: It was playful banter.

Helen: Cutting it kinda close, don’t you think?

Bob: You need to be more...flexible.

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

Minister: ...so long as you both shall live?

Minister: I pronounce this couple husband and wife.

[They kiss, as people are cheering and whistling. Gazerbeam, Stratogale, Dynaguy, Meta Man, Thunderhead, E and Rick Dicker can be seen for a few seconds clapping.]

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

Bob: Hey, come on. We’re superheroes. What could happen?

[The screen switches to a news flash.]

Newsreel Narrator: 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 a 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’s "actions", so quote, causes him daily pain!

Mr. Incredible: Hey, I saved your life!

Sansweet: You didn’t save my life, you ruined my death! That’s what you did...!

Mr. Incredible: Listen, you little [ interrupted by his lawyer] piece of....

Mr. Incredible's Lawyer: My client has no further comment at this time.

NEWSREEL NARRATOR: Five days later, another suit was filed by victims of the el train accident. Incredible’s court losses costed the government millions, and opened the floodgates for dozens of superhero lawsuits the world over.

GOVERNMENT PUBLIC SPEAKER: It is time for their secret identities to become their only identity. Time for them to join us, or go away!

NEWSREEL NARRATOR: 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 [ ]

(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 [stammering] I can’t pay for this!

[phone rings]

Bob: 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. And 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. (To Mrs. Hogenson) 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 was coming)

Mr. Huph: ....paaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

(he throws some papers at Bob's desk, as he gets startled)

Mr. Huph: YOU AUTHORIZED PAYMENT ON THE WALKER POLICY?!?

Bob: Someone broke into their house, Mr. Huph. Their policy clearly covers....

Mr. Huph: I..I-I-I don’t wanna know about their coverage, Bob! Don’t tell me about their coverage! Tell me how you’re keeping Insuricare in the black! Tell me how that’s possible, with you writing checks to every Harry Hardluck and Sally Sobstory THAT GIVES YOU A PHONE CALL!!

(Mr. Huph walks away)

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 thumb tacks 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 sighs, and rewinds the tape) He moves! Right there! Wait, wait! (he rewinds again) Right....there! Right as I'm sitting down! (as he said there, Dash flickered back to his desk on a split second) I don’t know how he does it, but there’s no tack on my stool before he moves and after he moves, there’s a tack! Coincidence? I think NOT!

Principal: Uh....Bernie..... (he pats his shoulder)

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, GUILTY, GUILTY, NO!!! (as he shakes the chair)

(Later, at the car trip home)

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.

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 is on a interstate highway, heading home from Insuricare.]

[He slowly arrives with his under-sized hatchback. When he opens the door, he slips on a skate and leaves a finger crush on the door.]

Bob: [muttering] Darn kids. Sitting on the driveway... [He notices his finger crush on the door.] Oh, great.

( Bob attempts to shut the car door with increasing frustration. The third time he quickly throws it closed, only for the door window to crack and shatter. He loses his temper and lifts the car over his head, only to see a child on a tricycle staring at him. The child's bubblegum bubble pops. Bob puts the car down, and checks for the kid. And goes back in the house. )

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?

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?! 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 cuts through the plate and table, causing it to collapse]

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. [He leaves angrily]

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: (off-screen) Kids! Listen to your mother.

(Helen sighs and the family goes back to eating dinner)

Dash: She’d eat if we were having Tony loaf.

Violet: That’s it!

[Dash and Violet start fighting]

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 ?

Bob: 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!

[Bob picks up the table, so does Helen, with the kids still fighting.]

Bob: I’m intervening, I’m intervening!

Helen : Violet, let go of your brother!

[The doorbell rings.]

Jack Jack: Hello?

Bob: Get the door.

[The family quickly goes back to their regular positions except for Dash, who runs over to answer the door.]

Dash: Hey, Lucius!

Lucius: Hey, Speedo! Hey, Helen. Vi, Jack-Jack.

[Dash runs back to his seat at the table]

Bob: He-hey! Ice of you to drop by.

Lucius: Ha! Never heard that one before.

Dash [gargling]: Oh, Lucius! [He spits water in the air.]

Lucius: Whoa!

[He freezes the spit shot and catches it.]

Dash: Aw... 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.

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 laughs]

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.

[Meanwhile, on an undercover car....]

Mirage: He’s not alone. The fat guy’s still with him. They’re just talking.

[Back on Lucius's car]

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: WOOO-HOO!

[Lucius reluctantly drives forward...]

Bob: Fire! Yeah!

[...as the undercover car follows them both.]

[The camera pans through the inside of a burning building, and then centers on Lucius and Bob, who are both carrying several people over their shoulders]

Lucius: Is that everybody!?

Bob: Yeah, that’s everyone!

Lucius: It better be. [He attempts to generate ice in vain)

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 seconds! 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 turns to his side and begins to run with Lucius following him. They crash through the side of the building into the building next to them. A second outside shot of the burning building shows it collapse.]

Bob: Yeah....

[But he realizes they’re in a jewelry store...]

Bob: Uh-oh.

[...and unknowingly trips the alarm on]

Bob [sarcastically]: Oh, good.

[alarm sounds]

Bob: Oh, no. That ain’t right.

[They both start arguing]

- We look like bad guys! Incompetent bad guys!

- You can get water out of the air!

[Until an officer breaks in]

Police Officer : FREEZE!

[Lucius, noticing a water container, picks up a paper cup and begins to fill it with water]

Lucius: I'm thirsty.

Police Officer : I SAID FREEZE!

Lucius: I’m just getting a drink.

[He finishes the cup of water]

Police Officer : Alright. You’ve had your drink....Now I want you to...

Lucius: (Holding up hands in mock surrender) I know. I know...... [Lucius drops the cup] Freeze.

[He shoots a breeze of ice, freezing the officer and even the bullet]

[police radio chatter]

POLICE RADIO: Shots fired!

Officers : POLICE OFFICERS!

[They enter the building, guns drawn. One gasps and the others turn to look in his direction. The first officer is encased in ice, a bullet from his gun suspended in midair. Bob and Lucius had gotten away safely.]

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

POLICE RADIO: Verify you want to switch targets? Over.

Mirage: Trust me. This is the one he’s been looking for.

SCENE #10 [ ]

[Bob had arrived home. He picks up a piece of cake from the kitchen while humming, and walks into the living room. A chair swivels around to reveal Helen on her pajamas, almost making Bob throw the piece at her.)

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 then picks up a little rock from Bob's suit.]

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, then-

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!!

[ Offscreen of the sound of paper falling/rustling is heard. Bob and Helen turn to the couch.]

Bob : 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.

SCENE #11 [ ]

Woman [on phone] : Request claim on claim numbers 158183....

[Bob presses his telephone message button.]

Mr. Huph: HAVEN'T YOU GOT HIM YET, HEY WHERE IS HE!? PLEASE! RIGHT NOW!

Mr. Huph's Secretary: [over the intercom] Mr. Huph would like to talk to you in his office.

Mr. Huph's Secretary: Now....

[Mr. Huph continues to yell indistinctly over the phone]

[Bob eventually gets up from his office and heads to Huph's Office. Mirage slowly walks and leaves something on his desktop.]

[At Huph's Office, he sharpens his Pencil and aligns it with other 3.]

Mr. Huph: Sit down, Bob.

[He does, moving the 4th pencil. Huph re-aligns it and starts.]

Mr. Huph: I’m not happy, Bob. NOT....HAPPY. [He gets up.] 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 [begrudgingly]:...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 OUURRRRRR PEOPLE!! Starting with our stockholders, Bob! Who's helping them out, huh?!

[He sighs and regains composure.]

Mr. Huph: You know, Bob....

[He moves a letter that says:]

{Memo: Policy Notification}

{To: Employee}

{From: Gilbert Huph}

{Due to financial cut-backs, you will be expected to self-expense all office supplies, including but not limited to pencils, erasers, pens, paper, stationery, folders, staples, paper clips, brads, and photocopies. All parking will now be metered by the hour. Electricity consumption and all telephone charges will be deducted from your paycheck.

The Board of Directors at Insuricare wishes to thank you for your selfless sacrifice through this time of financial uncertainty. It is because of you, the employee, that Insuricare has recorded its highest profit in years. Remember, a successful company makes for successful employees. Every penny you save is another penny that goes in....[the rest is covered by Huph's finger]}

{Salutations, Gilbert Huph}

Mr. Huph: ....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 clean, 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....

[Mr. Huph grabs Bob by the chin and pulls him toward him . ]

Mr. Huph: LOOK AT ME WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU, PARR!

[Outside MR. HUPH'S office a man is being mugged]

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 gets up out of his seat and heads for the door.]

Bob: I’ll be right back.

[And just when Bob puts his hand on the doorknob, Mr. Huph threatens him:]

Mr. Huph: STOP RIGHT NOW, OR YOU'RE FIRED!!

[Bob stops; Mr. Huph grins evilly.]

Mr. Huph: ...close the door....

[Bob reluctantly does]

Mr. Huph: Get over here.... now.

[Bob lets go of the doorknob, now crushed out of shape, and walks over to Mr. Huph.]

Mr. Huph [While Bob watches the mugger getting away]: I’m not happy, Bob. Not happy.

Bob: ...he got away....

Mr. Huph: Good thing, too....heh! You were this close to losing your j-

[Bob angrily grabs Mr. Huph by the throat and throws him through 4 office walls.]

[Everyone stares at Bob in disbelief.]

Bob: Uh-oh....

SCENE #12 [ ]

PA: Please report to operating room 722 immediately.

[Rick Dicker comes out of the room where Gilbert Huph is hospitalized.]

[Bob and Rick conversate while heading to the elevator.]

Bob: How is he?

Rick: 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.

[Rick reaches and presses the down elevator button.]

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.

Rick: Money, money, money, money, money. We can’t keep doing this, Bob!

Rick [as he enters the Elevator]: We appreciate what you did in the old days, but those days are over. From now on, you’re on your own.

[The door closes, but Rick stops it to say some more words:]

Rick: Uh, listen, Bob.

Rick: 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 gets out of the car shuts the door, in one successful try. He turns to the driveway. The same child from before was watching him.]

Bob: Well, what are you waiting for?

Kid: I don’t know....something amazing, I guess....

Bob [as he sighs]: Me too, kid.

SCENE #13 [ ]

[Bob enters his old office. He pulls out his Insuricare Employee Manual, and rips it in half. He throws it on the trashcan, along with his paperwork on his suitcase. While doing so, a strange package hits the can.]

[He opens the package, only to find a tablet. He touches the screen, but something activated on it.]

Bob (reading): Hold still?

[The device emits a sound and a facial recognition scan.]

TABLET: Match: Mr. Incredible.

[He gets startled and throws the tablet on the floor. Unharmed, it scans the room for a few seconds.]

TABLET: Room is Secure. Commence Message.

Mirage: Hello, Mr. Incredible. Yes, we know who you are. Rest assured, your secret is safe with us. My name is Mirage. We have something in common. According to the government, neither of us exist. Please pay attention, as this message is classified and will not be repeated.

[Mr. Incredible quickly gets to his pencil case and tries to get a pencil, one is not working and then one is normal. He starts taking notes on Mirage's message.]

Mirage: I represent a top secret division of the government, designing and testing experimental technology, and we have need of your unique abilities. Something has happened at our testing facility. (interrupted by Helen: A highly experimental attack robot...)

Bob: Huh? What?

Helen: : Dinner’s ready!

Bob: : Okay!

Mirage: ...has escaped control. Although it is contained within an isolated area, it threatens to cause incalculable damage to itself and to our facilities, jeopardizing hundreds of millions of dollars worth of equipment (interrupted by Helen: in research. Because of its highly sensitive nature, this mission would have not existed(?).)

Helen: Is someone in there?

Bob: It’s the TV, trying to watch!

Helen: Well, stop trying. It’s time for dinner!

Bob: One minute!

Mirage: If you accept, your payment will be triple your current annual salary. Call the number on the card. Voice-matching will be used to ensure security.

Mirage: The supers aren’t gone, Mr. Incredible. You’re still here.....You can still do great things!

Mirage: Or...you can listen to police gabber. Your choice. You have 24 hours to respond. Think about it.

[The device shuts off.]

[Bob realizes what Mirage said.....and he looks at his past, knowing that this one chance could bring his glory days back....he then looks at his old suit, with a smile.]

[Beeping, as Mirage's phone number is printed.]

TABLET: This Message Will Self-Destruct.

[He stumbles out of the office in a cloud of smoke. The smoke rises and triggers the fire alarm and sprinkler system. Violet shouts off panel, while Dash expresses joy.]

SCENE #14 [ ]

[Helen was ordering the dining table. He then walks to his husband and idles.]

Helen: You..are one distracted guy.

Bob: Hmm? Am I? I don’t mean to be.

Helen: I know you miss being a hero and your job is frustrating. I just want you to know how much it means to me that you stay at it anyway.

Bob: Honey? About the job?

Helen: What?

Bob: Something’s happened.

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?

Bob [hesitating]: Yes.

Helen: You see? They’re finally recognizing your talents....you’re moving up!

Helen: Honey! Awww...This is wonderful!

Bob: Yes, it is.

[phone calling. Mirage's number was shown: 866-787-7476]

Mirage [over phone]: Hello?

Bob: This is Mr. Incredible..... I’m in.

SCENE #15 [ ]

[They are inside a futuristic plane. Mirage is briefing Bob's mission.]

Mirage: The Omnidroid 8000 is a top secret prototype battle robot. lts artificial intelligence enables it to solve any problem it’s confronted with. And, unfortunately...

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.

Mr. Incredible: How am I going in?

Mirage: The Omnidroid’s defenses necessitate an airdrop 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.

Mr. Incredible: You want me to shut it down without completely destroying it.

Mirage: You are Mr. Incredible.

[Bob is on an advanced seat, he pass his belt on, and the seat shifts into a bed, as it is about to enter a shuttle. However, his belly didn't let him in 6 times. The Soldier then increases the seat power and it successfully gets Mr. Incredible in the shuttle.]

Mirage: I’ve got to warn you, it’s a learning robot. Every moment you spend fighting it only increases its knowledge of how to beat you.

Mr. Incredible: Shut it down. Do it quickly. Don’t destroy it.

Mirage: And don’t die.

Mr. Incredible: Great. Thanks.

[The shuttle ejects. It rockets down the island. After stopping, it propels with two blades. After a while, it lands. Mr. Incredible tries to get out, but his belly won't let him out. He goes back in, and punches the shuttle in half. He flexes and gets ready.]

Mr. Incredible: Showtime.

[He explores through the jungle, trying to find the Omnidroid.]

[He sees a blade mark on a tree and a cross on the grass. Suddenly, the Omnidroid suprises him from behind, as it tries to impale him unsuccessfully. It slashes a 3rd time, only cutting a mark on Mr. Incredible's arm. Mr. Incredible leaps over the robot, and throws a punch that sends it flying to a tree.]

Mr. Incredible [gruntingly]: Yeah!

[The robot gets up, and the real fight begins.]

Mr. Incredible: Uh-oh.

[The robot charges at him, as he leaps over. The robot unfortunately calculated his leaping arc, and that allowed it to swat him mid-air, slamming Mr. Incredible into another tree that topped onto the Omnidroid. But the robot rolled out of its way, and reformed. The robot curled up again to crush him, only for Mr. Incredible to dodge it, as it knocks down some trees before charging at him quickly. Mr. Incredible sprints his way off, but he almost gets crushed by the robot as he jumps over a cliff, slides on it, and lands. The Omnidroid arrives at a similar pace, as he recieves a boulder from our hero. The Omnidroid does the same 3 times, the latter hitting Mr. Incredible. It almost impales him unsuccessfully. Its claw is lodged in the cliff, as the hero runs for safety. The Omnidroid pulls its limb out of the cliff and leaped high into the air, intent on crushing Mr. Incredible, who leaped out of the way and landed in the lava fields. The Omnidroid lands and makes an attempt to push Mr. Incredible into the lava as he tried to push back. After a few seconds however, he lets out a scream while using his maximum strength and jerk-pulls the robot aside into the lava.]

[Bob laughs in what he thought was his victory, but after trying to spin, his spine cracks.]

Mr. Incredible: ow, ow, ow.....Ow, my back-

[The Omnidroid suddenly bursts out of the lava through a place of the stone platform, making it crack. It proceeds to spin its claws, as Mr. Incredible leaps on a chunk of rock. But then the Omnidroid grabbed him by his feet with one of its claws and slammed him to the ground before grabbing his arms with another. It began to pull him apart.....until it stops when it accidentally fixed his back.]

Mr. Incredible: Oh....Hahaha!

[He then jack-knives, ripping the claw off its arms. He runs under the robot, as it uses his lower sensor cluster. Just as it spots its target, he rips it off, and climbs inside the robot, as it unintentionally starts damaging itself. After a while, it stops, weakened. Mr. Incredible punched off its upper sensor cluster, as it whistles while ''riding'' the robot. The robot tries to pull him out, but it accidentally tears its brainpan out. Mr. Incredible jumps out of the robot and casually walks away, as the Omnidroid motionlessly falls down.]

[A mecha-macaw watched everything, as it zooms to the screen.]

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

SCENE #16 [ ]

[Mr. Incredible is in a pod, inside the volcano's magma flows. He waits for Mirage in a huge dining room, while peeking to see who the mysterious man was.]

???? (very quietly): Most important, keep things light. Praise him. Make him feel like we appreciate his abilities.

[He hides back and pretends to have waited long enough.]

Mr. Incredible: Am I overdressed?

Mirage: Actually, you look rather dashing.

[They head to the dining table and sit.]

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.

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.

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.

Mr. Incredible: Seems a bit unstable.

Mirage: I prefer to think of it as misunderstood.

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?

Mr. Incredible: Everything’s delicious.

SCENE #17 [ ]

Bob : Ah, jeez.

HELEN: Hurry, honey! Or you’ll be late for work! Have a great day, honey.

Bob : Thanks.

HELEN: Help customers, climb ladders...

Bob : Bring bacon?

HELEN: All that jazz.

(Bob drives away. The camera then shows the gate of another house on top of a hill. A screen displays a video feed of a guard.)

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) Hey, get back to work! Go check the electric fence or something! What is it? Who are you? What do you want?

(Bob lowers his sunglasses)

E: My God, you’ve gotten fat....Come in, Come, come!

(Gates open)

(Now Bob and E walk down a hallway.)

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

E: No capes! [She throws a paper ball to him.]

[This puzzles Bob.]

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, snagged 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: (she sighs) fine. I will also fix the hobo suit....

BOB: You’re the best of the best, E.

E: Yes, I know, darling. (whispering) I know.

SCENE #18 [ ]

BOB: I got it, I got it! Don’t answer it, honey, I got it! Hello?

Mirage: We have a new assignment for you. How soon can you get here?

BOB I’ll leave tomorrow morning.

MIRAGE See you there.

BOB Goodbye.

HELEN Who was that, honey? The, uh, office?

BOB Another conference. Short notice, but you know...duty calls. [nervous laugh]

BOB Yeah, what’s up, honey?

HELEN Ha....have a great trip.

BOB Thanks, sweetie. I’ll call you when I get there.

HELEN I love you. So much.

BOB I love you too.

(BOB is on Syndrome's Manta Jet.)

COMPUTER: This is your automated, Captain. Would you care for more mimosa?

Mr. Incredible: Don’t mind if I do. Thanks.

COMPUTER: You’re welcome. Currently 78 degrees in Nomanisan. Perfect weather for flying. Please fasten your seatbelt. We’re beginning our descent.

MIRAGE Hello, Mr. Incredible. Nice suit.

Bob (Mr. Incredible) : Thanks. Nice to be back, Mirage.

MIRAGE You’ll be briefed on your assignment in the conference room at two. D Wing, room A-113.

Bob (Mr. Incredible) : 2:00. Got it.

Mirage: See you there.

(HELEN vacuums the hallway next to BOB's study. She vacuums the carpet near the door, hears the vacuum pick up filth and groans before entering the room. She begins to vacuum the study and notices the door displaying BOB's old super suit is open. She observes the suit and notices a a tear in the right arm of the suit has been fixed)

Helen: [gasps] Edna.

SCENE #19 [ ]

Helen: I'd like to speak with Edna.

Edna Mode: This is Edna.

Helen: E? This is Helen.

Edna Mode: Helen who?

Helen: Helen Parr? You know...Elastigirl.

Edna Mode: 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.

Edna Mode: 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...

Edna Mode: 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!

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

SCENE #20 [ ]

(Bob enters in a meeting room.)

(He waits quietly for anyone, as he looks around)

(But suddenly, the Omnidroid v.X9 attacks him out of nowhere, and it throws him)

Syndromw: It’s bigger!

(The Omnidroid throws him again)

Syndrome: It’s badder!

(And again)

Syndrome: Ladies and gentlemen, it's....

(And again, this time it grabs Mr. Incredible and it uses its two tentacles to decapitate him, which it almost does)

Syndrome: Too much for Mr. lncredible!!

( Syndrome reveals himself.)

SYNDROME: Whoa, Whoa! Whoa! It’s finally ready!

(He shuts down the blades of the Omnidroid.)

SYNDROME: 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 suddenly recognizes some familiarity with his rejected sidekick)

MR. INCREDIBLE: Buddy?

SYNDROME: My name is not ......BUDDY!!

(The Omnidroid throws Bob on the floor. Syndrome lands.)

SYNDROME: 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!?

(Flashback starts)

MR. INCREDIBLE: Fly home, Buddy. I work alone.

SYNDROME (as the flashback ends): It tore me apart. But I learned an important lesson. You can’t count on anyone. Especially your heroes.

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--

(Mr. Incredible throws a log at Syndrome, but he dodges it hastily. He gets back up and freezes Mr. Incredible with something)

SYNDROME: [laughing] You sly dog! You got me monologuing! I can’t believe it....

(He slams Mr. Incredible into the floor.)

SYNDROME: It’s cool, huh? Zero-point energy. I saved the best inventions for myself.

(He starts throwing Bob around with his ZPE arm.)

SYNDROME: Am I good enough now? Who’s super now? I’m Syndrome! Your nemesis and-

(Syndrome makes a grandiose gesture with his arms, inadvertently flinging Mr. Incredible into the jungle.)

SYNDROME: Oh, brilliant.

(Bob lands somewhere on a lake. Syndrome spots him and flies towards him. Bob jumps down while Syndrome watches him falling into the bade of a waterfall. He taps a button in his wrist cuffs, which activates a tiny bomb.)

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

(He drops it to the base of the waterfall.)

(Bob spots the bomb as he tries to swim away from it, although he is soon caught in the blast)

(He emerges out of the water, gasping, in a cave system. He turns his head, and leaps back, realizing he is face to face with a skeleton. Slowly, he moves back towards the skeleton, noticing that it has an eye visor and a cape.)

MR. INCREDIBLE: Gazerbeam....?

(He looks in the direction of Gazerbeam's gaze and sees a pattern carved into the rocks. He reads out a word of the pattern.)

MR. INCREDIBLE: Kronos?

(He suddenly hears a probe entering the cave. He hides behind Gazerbeam's skeleton. The probe scans the room, does a quick of Gazerbeam's skeleton and leaves. The view cuts to the probe returning to Syndrome's wrist cuff.)

PROBE: Life reading negative. Mr. Incredible terminated.

(He walks away in a satisfied smile...)

SCENE #21 [ ]

(E and HELEN are walking down a hallway)

EDNA MODE: 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!

[She adresses some scanning and coding...]

E: Edna Mode. (An assortment of weapons aim at HELEN, who gets on defensive pose) And guest. (The weapons retreat)

(E and HELEN walk into room with a sitting area and a large glass wall, separating them from an area with three white walls.)

Edna Mode: Come. Sit. Cream and sugar?

HELEN: Thanks.

EDNA MODE: I started with the baby.

HELEN: Started?

EDNA MODE: Shh! Darling! Shh! I cut it a little roomy for the free movement. The fabric is comfortable for sensitive skin, and can also withstand a temperature of over 1000 degrees. Completely bulletproof. And machine washable, darling. That’s a new feature.

HELEN: What on Earth do you think the baby will be doing?!

EDNA MODE: Well, I’m sure I don’t know, darling. Luck favors the prepared. I didn’t know the baby’s powers, so I covered the basics.

HELEN: Jack-Jack doesn’t have any powers.

EDNA MODE: No? Well, he’ll look fabulous anyway.

EDNA MODE: Your boy’s suit I designed to withstand enormous friction without heating up or wearing out. A useful feature. Your daughter’s suit was tricky. But I finally created a sturdy material that will disappear completely as she does. Your suit can stretch as far as you can, without injuring yourself, and still retain its shape. Virtually indestructible...yet it breathes like Egyptian cotton. As an extra feature, each suit contains a homing device, giving you the precise global location of the wearer at the touch of a button. Well, darling? What do you think?

HELEN 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?!

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

HELEN He wouldn’t. Didn’t. Doesn’t.

EDNA MODE Men at Robert’s age are often unstable. Prone to weakness.

HELEN What are you saying?

EDNA MODE Do you know where he is?

HELEN Of....cours-

EDNA MODE Do you know.... where he is?

SCENE #22 [ ]

[voices, static on radio]

[electric zapping]

[voice on radio]

GUARD 1 Hey, hey. We got a man down!

GUARD 2 Come on, let’s go.

GUARD 2 Are you okay? What happened?

[over radio] Break surveillance and engage. Continuing sweep...

[Bob sprints in the closing lava hallway, then jumps as a door closes. A pathway is slowly lightened up, leading up to a keyboard. He slowly walks to it, and presses enter.]

[Remembering the password from Gazerbeam's gaze before his death at the cave he ended up on, he types it. The Computer is logged in to a menu.]

[Switch back to Helen and Edna Mode.]

WOMAN [over phone]: Insuricare.

HELEN: 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.

WOMAN: Mr. Parr no longer works at Insuricare.

HELEN: 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.

[Switch back to Bob. After apparently searching one of the information sectors, he proceeds to go to the ''Supers'' sector. He presses return, and it's a slideshow of the superheroes and the older Omnidroids.]

[The sequence is as it follows:]

[Universal Man - Terminated by Omnidroid v.X1]

[Psycwave - Terminated by Omnidroid v.X1]

[Everseer - Terminated by Omnidroid v.X1]

[Macroburst - Terminated the Omnidroid v.X1]

[Macroburst - Terminated by Omnidroid v.X2]

[Phylangue - Terminated by Omnidroid v.X2]

[Blazestone - Terminated by Omnidroid v.X2]

[Switch back to Helen and Edna. Helen's call ends, as she worries for Bob.]

[Switch back again to Bob in the Computer room. The sequence continues....:]

[Downburst - Terminated by Omnidroid v.X3]

[Hyper Shock - Terminated the Omnidroid v.X3]

[Hyper Shock - Terminated by Omnidroid v.X4]

[Apogee - Terminated by Omnidroid v.X4]

[Unknown Super - Terminated by Omnidroid v.X4]

[Blitzerman - Terminated by Omnidroid v.X4]

[Tradewind - Terminated by Omnidroid v.X4]

[Vectress - Terminated by Omnidroid v.X4]

[Gazerbeam - Terminated the Omnidroid v.X4]

[Gazerbeam - Terminated by Omnidroid v.X5]

[Stormicide - Terminated by Omnidroid v.X5]

[Gamma Jack - Terminated the Omnidroid v.X5]

[Gamma Jack - Terminated by Omnidroid v.X6]

[Unknown Super - Terminated the Omnidroid v.X6]

[Switch back to Helen and Edna.]

E: So, you don’t know where he is.

[She shows a tracking device to Helen.]

E: would you like to find out....?

[Switch back to Bob, with the sequence ended.]

[He types "Elastigirl" into the search engine and the screen displays her location as "UNKNOWN". He gives a relieved sigh.]

[He then types ''Frozone'' into the search engine and the screen displays his location as ''KNOWN''. Shortly after, he types himself on the search engine. The screen displays him as ''TERMINATED'' by the Omnidroid v.X9.]

[Cut back to Edna and Helen. Edna gives the tracker device to Helen.]

[Cut back to Mr. Incredible in the Computer Room. He types something and then Operation Kronos's sequence begins. It shows the Omnidroid v.10. Then, Mr. Incredible goes to the phases:]

[First Phase: Secure the Omnidroid into a Rocketship.]

[Second Phase: Launch the Rocket towards Metroville.]

[Third Phase: Destroy the city with the robot deployed.]

[The countdown begins, having 8 hours left until the Omnidroid is launched. Mr. Incredible retreats. Cut Back to Helen. She presses the tracking device and Bob's suit light blinks. The lights turn on, and turret holes open up as a P.A repeats thrice: Intruder Alert.]

[The Turrets shoot a sticky, expanding and pressure absorbent orbs that hit him. He stops twice because of the orbs hitting him too much. He collapses just as he was at the door.

SCENE #23 [ ]

HELEN: [sobbing] Oh, I am such an idiot. I let this happen, you know.....The new sports car, the getting in shape, the blond hair, the lies.......

E: Yes, he attempts to relive the past.

HELEN: Now I’m losing him! What’ll I do? What’ll I do?

E:....what are you talking...ABOUT?

HELEN: Hmm...?

E: YOU'RE ELASTIGIRL!

E: My God, (Hitting HELEN with a newspaper) Pull! yourself! TOGETHER!! What will you do, Is...is-IS THIS A QUESTION!?

E: You will show him you remember that he is Mr. lncredible, and you will remind him who you are!

E: Well, you don't know where he is, go, confront the problem! Fight! WIN!!

E: And call me when you get back, darling. I enjoy our visits.

(Helen is at the Parr house, talking with Violet while walking down the hallway to her bedroom)

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? Ha-ha!

Helen : Dash! You come back here this moment!

Helen : Hey, Snug. Thanks for getting back. I know this is short notice, but I was hoping that I could get you to...

Violet : What are these? (Holds up a red costume, similiar to BOB's new super suit)

(Helen takes the suit from Violet)

Dash : (Dressed in one of the suits and looking at himself in the mirror) Look, I’m The Dash! The Dash likes this.

Helen : Just a second. (To DASH) 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 : (snags one of the suits) Yikes!

Helen : Dash!

Dash : (Handing a suit to Violet) Yikes! This is yours. It’s specially made.

Violet : What’s going on?

Helen : (Shoving both kids out of the bedroom) You’re not coming! And I’ve gotta pack!

Violet : What makes you think it’s special?

Dash : I don’t know. Why’d Mom try to hide it?

(Violet makes her arm vanish. She touches the suit and the suit vanishes. She gasps.)

Helen : Snug, I’m calling in a solid you owe me.

Snug [over phone] : What do you need?

Helen : A jet. What do you got that’s fast?

Snug [over phone] : Let me think...

SCENE #24 [ ]

(Helen is in the pilot seat of an airplane.)

Helen : Island approach. India Golf Niner-Niner checking in. VFR on top. Over.

[radio static]

Helen : Island tower, this is India Golf Niner-Niner requesting vectors to the initial. Over.

Helen : Easy, Helen. Easy. Easy, girl. You’re overreacting. Everything’s fine. They’re just all getting coffee. At the same time. Yeah.

(The camera cuts to BOB being held by a suspension system by his limbs. Syndrome walks towards him.)

Syndrome : You, sir....truly are Mr. Incredible. You know, I was right to idolize you. I...I-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!

Syndrome : And then you had to just.....ruin the ride. I mean, Mr. Incredible calling for help? [mocking] Help me, help me. Help! ...lame...lame...lame, LAME, LAME!! ALL RIGHT, WHO DID YOU CONTACT?!

Bob (Mr. Incredible) : Contact? What are you talking about?

(He gets him electrocuted.)

Syndrome : I am referring to last night at 23:07 hours while you were snooping around. You sent out a homing signal.

Bob (Mr. Incredible) : I didn’t know about the homing device.......

(He gets him electrocuted again.)

Syndrome : And now a government plane is requesting permission to land here! Who did you contact?!

Bob (Mr. Incredible) : I didn’t send for a....a plane....

Syndrome : Play the transmission!

Helen : India golf Niner-Niner checking in. VFR on top. Over.

Bob (Mr. Incredible) : Helen....!

Syndrome : So you do know these people. Well, then, I’ll...send them a little greeting~

(Helen throws her bag on one of the seats.)

Violet : Ow!

Helen (Mrs. Incredible) : Violet!

Violet : It’s not my fault! Dash ran away, and I knew I’d get blamed for it--

Dash : That’s not true!

Helen (Mrs. Incredible) : 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 (Mrs. Incredible) : 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 (Mrs. Incredible) : 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 (Mrs. Incredible) : Kari.

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

Helen (Mrs. Incredible) : 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 (Mrs. Incredible) : 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?

(Helen looks looks on the plane radar and sees several missiles headed towards the plane.)

Helen (Mrs. Incredible) : India Golf Niner-Niner transmitting in the blind guard. Disengage! Repeat, disengage! Disengage! Repeat, disengage! Friendlies...

Bob (Mr. Incredible): NO! CALL OFF THE MISSILES, I'LL DO ANYTHING!

Syndrome: Too late! (he shrugs) ....fifteen years too late. (As he walks towards him)

Helen (Mrs. Incredible) : 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 (Mrs. Incredible) : I know what I said! Listen to what I’m saying now! Disengage. Repeat, disengage!

Dash : Mom?

(VIOLET attempts to create a force-field but the force-field never gets any larger than the size of her head)

Helen (Mrs. Incredible) : 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 (Mrs. Incredible) : [to Violet] Put a field around us now!

Violet : I’ve never done one that big!

Helen (Mrs. Incredible) : Violet, do it now! Abort, abort, abort! Abort, abort, abort!

The Plane explodes and HELEN wraps around VIOLET AND DASH. The three begin falling towards the water.

[all screaming]

Helen (Mrs. Incredible) : Brace yourselves!

(Helen blanks out for a moment and notices the kids screaming. She emerges to see the two kids treading water.)

Violet/Dash : Mom! Mom!

Helen (Mrs. Incredible) : 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!!!

(A turbine hits About 10 meters away from where the three are. HELEN pushes DASH and VIOLET underwater. DASH and VIOLET swim back to the surface and HELEN watches the missile hit the bottom and explode before swimming back up.)

Dash/Violet : Oh, my gosh! 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 (Mrs. Incredible) : 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!?

(Back to the interrogation room.)

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...?

(Syndrome laughs as he walks away.)

( Bob becomes angry.)

(Mirage gasps, and with quick thinking she pushes Syndrome as Bob suddenly grabs her. Syndrome quickly stands up.)

Bob (Mr. Incredible): RELEASE ME. NOW!!

Syndrome: Or what?

Bob (Mr. Incredible): I’ll crush her.

Syndrome: Ooh... That sounds a little dark for you.... Nah, go ahead.

Bob (Mr. Incredible): (as Mirage gasps and he presses her harder) It’ll be easy.... like breaking a toothpick!

Syndrome: (chuckles) Show me.

(As Syndrome amusedly waits, Bob slowly loses his will. He then sighs and releases Mirage, as she falls to the floor and looks shocked to Syndrome.)

Syndrome: I knew you couldn’t do it....even when you have nothing to lose! You’re weak!.... (He walks away) ...and I’ve outgrown you.

(As Mirage looks to Bob one more time with a worried expression, she leaves with Syndrome as Bob starts crying, thinking that he lost his family.)

Helen (Mrs. Incredible) : 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 (Mrs. Incredible) : lf it means land, yes.

Violet: Do you expect us to swim there?

Helen (Mrs. Incredible) : I expect you to trust me.

(Dash is hastily pushing Helen morphed onto a boat, as Violet sits on her.)

SCENE #25 [ ]

(The three make it to shore)

Helen (Mrs. Incredible) : What a trooper. I’m so proud of you.

Dash : Thanks, mom.

(Cut to cave)

Helen (Mrs. Incredible) : I think your father is in trouble.

Violet : lf you haven’t noticed, Mom, we’re not doing so hot either.

Helen (Mrs. Incredible) : 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 (Mrs. Incredible) : Put these on. (Hands the two masks) Your identity is your most valuable possession. Protect it. And if anything goes wrong, use your powers.

Violet : But you said never to use...

Helen (Mrs. Incredible) : 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 (Mrs. Incredible) : Vi, I’m counting on you.

Violet : There’s something I...

Helen (Mrs. Incredible) : 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 (Mrs. Incredible) : 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 (Mrs. Incredible) : 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.

(Cut to 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 (Mrs. Incredible) : Okay, okay, okay.

[voices on radio]

Helen (Mrs. Incredible) : A rocket?

[sighs, gasps]

[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! 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 (Mrs. Incredible) : [gasps] Bob.

GUARD #1: Huh? What?

GUARD #2: Uh, I didn’t say anything.

SCENE #26 [ ]

ROBOT: Identification, please.

DASH: Hey! Hey, Violet! Come here, look.

VIOLET:What?

DASH: It talks!

VIOLET: What?

DASH: There. That one.

ROBOT: Voice key incorrect.

VIOLET: Voice key ?

VIOLET: Wait a second...

DASH: What do we do?

VIOLET: Run!

DASH: Where are we going?

VIOLET: Away from here!

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

[Mirage releases Mr. Incredible. She slowly walks to him.]

Mirage: There isn’t much time.

[Mr. Incredible suddenly grabs her by her neck.]

Mr. Incredible: No, there isn’t. In fact, there’s no time at all.

Mirage: [choking] Please...

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

Mirage: [choking] The family.....survived...the...crash! They’re here....on the island!

Mr. Incredible: They’re alive?

[Mr. Incredible drops her, as she is coughing. He then picks her up, and hugs her, much to the two's comfort.]

[Mirage quietly gasps, as Helen arrived on the scene.]

[Mr. Incredible drops Mirage by her feet.]

Mirage: Oh, hello....You must be Mrs. Incre--[She gets knocked out cold before she could finish, much to Mr. Incredible's shock.]

Mr. Incredible: She was helping me to escape!

Elastigirl : No! That’s what I was doing.

[Mr. Incredible grabs her husband's arm.]

Elastigirl: Let go of me! Let go, you lousy, lying, unfaithful creep!-

[They kiss.]

Mr. Incredible: How could I betray the perfect woman?

Elastigirl: Oh, you’re referring to me now?

Mr. Incredible: Where are the kids?

MIRAGE They might’ve triggered the alert.

Helen (Mrs. Incredible) : What?!

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

Helen (Mrs. Incredible) : Now our kids are in danger?!

Bob (Mr. Incredible): lf you suspected danger, why’d you bring them?

Helen (Mrs. Incredible) : 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.

GUARD 2 Hey! Stop talking!

GUARD 3 Hold it! Freeze!

VIOLET Dash, run!

DASH: What?

DASH: Oh yeah! (he runs away)

GUARD: What the--?! They’re supers!

(VIOLET disappears)

GUARD 2: Get the boy! Show yourself!

[Dash screams]

DASH Ha, ha! I’m alive. Yeah!

[Dash whooping]

DASH Uh-oh.

[water splashing]

Bob (Mr. Incredible) : I should’ve told you I was fired, I admit it. But I didn’t want you to worry.

Helen (Mrs. Incredible) : 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.

(Cut to GUARD)

GUARD I know you’re there, Little Miss Disappear.

(The water splashes)

GUARD You can’t hide from me.

(The guard throws a bit of sand into the water. The sand trails in a certain shape.)

GUARD (Aiming gun) There you are.

DASH (Hitting GUARD) Hey! (Punching GUARD) Don’t touch my sister!

(A second GUARD points a gun at DASH. The GUARD fires and VIOLET jumps between them creating a forcefield that encases her and DASH)

Dash : How are you doing that?

Violet : I don’t know!

Dash : Whatever you do, don’t stop! (he runs, moving the ball.)

(Cut to HELEN and BOB who are run over by the kids)

Violet : Mom! Dad! Hey!

(The force-field disappears)

Bob (Mr. Incredible) : Kids! You’re all right.

Helen (Mrs. Incredible) : Oh, you’re all right!

Violet : We were so worried about you!

Bob (Mr. Incredible) : I thought I’d never see you again.

Bob (Mr. Incredible) & Helen (Mrs. Incredible)' : Aww, I love you.

Dash : Wow.

Violet : Whoa.

(The family encounters a group of guards. As they strike a fighting pose, they battle them.)

Syndrome : WHOA, WHOA, WHOA! HEY, TIME OUT!!

(Until Syndrome arrives and freezes the entire family with both of his ZPE gloves.)

Syndrome: What have we here? Matching uniforms? Oh, no..... Elastigirl!?

(He mockingly laughs)

Syndrome: 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...

(The family is now put into the suspension system.)

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 a super! And when everyone’s super.... no one will be. [evil laughter] [leaves room]

[soldiers shouting]

SOLDIER : Fire at will!

(The Omnidroid starts destroying the Military troops with ease.)

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

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 (Mrs. Incredible) : : Shh. Don’t interrupt.

(Violet uses her forcefield to nullify the zero point energy's effects and float out of the suspension system. She walks towards the keyboard.)

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.

(She hits the control panel, releasing the family)

MR. INCREDIBLE: We need to get back to the mainland.

Helen (Mrs. Incredible) : I saw an aircraft hangar on my way in. Straight ahead, I think.

Bob (Mr. Incredible) : Where are all the guards?

(The guards are all holed up in an RV, watching the omnidroid reports on TV.)

(Mr. Incredible is signaling family to move inside the RV) Go, go!

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

GUARD 2: Yeah, okay.

Helen (Mrs. Incredible) : This is the right hangar, but I don’t see any jets.

Bob (Mr. Incredible) : A jet’s not fast enough.

Helen (Mrs. Incredible) : What’s faster than a jet?

Dash : Hey, how about a rocket?

Helen (Mrs. Incredible) : Great! I can’t fly a rocket.

Violet : You don’t have to. Use the coordinates from the last launch.

Bob (Mr. Incredible) Ah, wait. I bet Syndrome’s changed the password by now. How do I get into the computer?

Mirage : Say please.

SCENE #28 [ ]

(Lucius sees the Omnidroid outside his apartment)

Lucius : HONEY?

Honey Best : What?

Lucius : Where’s my supersuit!?

Honey Best : What!?

Lucius : WHERE...IS...MY...SUPERSUIT!?!

Honey Best : I, uh...put it away.

Lucius : Where!?

Honey Best : Why do you need to know?

Lucius : I NEED IT!

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

Lucius : The public is in danger!!

Honey Best : My evening’s in danger!

Lucius : YOU TELL ME WHERE MY SUIT IS, WOMAN! WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE GREATER GOOD!

Honey Best : Greater good ? I am your wife! I’m the greatest good you are ever gonna get!

(Cuts back to the Omnidroid destroying the city)

(A woman runs towards a carriage in the path of a piece of building)

Woman : My baby!

(Syndrome holds the tanker in place just above the carriage and woman.)

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 flicks away the truck as it explodes. The omnidroid moves towards him.)

SYNDROME: All right, stand back!

(He starts ''fighting'' his own Omnidroid)

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

(He detaches his robot's arm to pretend that he used his fake strength.)

SYNDROME: Ha, ha!

(The Omnidroid scans the place, his detached arm, and aims at Syndrome's wrist, becoming self-aware.)

(It shoots the control glove off, and he starts attacking Syndrome, damaging one of his rocket boots.)

(Syndrome flies out of control and he crashes onto a building. He lands, tries to get up and falls unconsious soon after.)

DASH Are we there yet?

Bob (Mr. Incredible): We get there when we get there.

Bob (Mr. Incredible): How you doing, honey?

Helen (Mrs. Incredible) : Do I have to answer?!

Bob (Mr. Incredible): Kids, strap yourselves down like I told you! Here we go, honey! Ready, Violet? Ready? Now! This is gonna be rough! The robot’s in the financial district. Which exit do I take?

Helen (Mrs. Incredible) : Traction Avenue.

Bob (Mr. Incredible): That’ll take me downtown. I take Seventh, don’t I?

Helen (Mrs. Incredible) : Don’t take Seventh!

Bob (Mr. Incredible): Great, we missed it!

Helen (Mrs. Incredible) : You asked me how to get there and I told you. Exit at Traction!

Bob (Mr. Incredible): That’ll take me downtown!

Helen (Mrs. Incredible) : He’s coming up! Get in the right lane! Signal!

Bob (Mr. Incredible): Not Traction!

Helen (Mrs. Incredible) : You’re gonna miss it!

Bob (Mr. Incredible): Is everybody okay back there?

VIOLET Super-duper, Dad!

DASH [laughing] Let’s do that again.

Bob (Mr. Incredible): Wait here and stay hidden. I’m going in.

Helen (Mrs. Incredible) : 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 (Mrs. Incredible) : 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 (Mrs. Incredible) : What is this to you? Playtime?

Bob (Mr. Incredible): No.

Helen (Mrs. Incredible) : So you can be Mr. lncredible again?

Bob (Mr. Incredible): No!

Helen (Mrs. Incredible) : Then what? What is it?

Bob (Mr. Incredible): I’m not...

Helen (Mrs. Incredible) : Not what?

Bob (Mr. Incredible): I’m not strong enough.

Helen (Mrs. Incredible) : Strong enough. And this will make you stronger?

Bob (Mr. Incredible): Y es. No!

Helen (Mrs. Incredible) : That’s what this is? Some sort of workout!?

Bob (Mr. Incredible) : I CAN'T LOSE YOU AGAIN!! I can’t. Not again. I’m not..... strong enough.

(they kiss)

Helen (Mrs. Incredible) : lf we work together, you won’t have to be.

Bob (Mr. Incredible) : I don’t know what’ll happen.

Helen (Mrs. Incredible) : Hey. We’re superheroes. What can happen?

Violet : [shrieking]

Helen (Mrs. Incredible) : VI! DASH! NOOOOOOO!

DASH Violet? Dad!

Bob (Mr. Incredible): Go, go!

VIOLET I’m okay, mom. Really.

Helen (Mrs. Incredible) : Stay here, okay?

Bob (Mr. Incredible): Frozone! Yeah!

Helen (Elastigirl) : Bob!

Bob (Mr. Incredible):

Hey! 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! 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 (Mrs. Incredible) : Kids!

LUCIUS (FROZONE) It’s not doing anything!

Helen (Mrs. Incredible) : Lucius, try to buy us some time!

LUCIUS (FROZONE) Try the one next to it!

Bob (Mr. Incredible): Honey! Wait a minute. PRESS THAT BUTTON AGAIN!! NO, THE OTHER TONE! THE FIRST ONE!

Helen (Mrs. Incredible) : First button! Got it!

LUCIUS (FROZONE) Look out!

Helen (Mrs. Incredible) : Get out of here, kids, and find a safe spot!

VIOLET We’re not going anywhere!

Bob (Mr. Incredible): PRESS THE BUTTON!!

Helen (Mrs. Incredible) : Not yet!

LUCIUS (FROZONE) Hang on!

Bob (Mr. Incredible): WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!?

Helen (Mrs. Incredible) : A closer target! You got one shot!

Bob (Mr. Incredible): EVERYBODY DUCK!! 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.

SCENE #29 [ ]

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]

Kari: Hi, this is Kari. I have a question about Jack-Jack...

Helen (Mrs. Incredible) : 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 (Mrs. Incredible) : 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 (Mrs. Incredible) : 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 (Mrs. Incredible) : Replacement?!? I didn’t call for a replacement!

SYNDROME: Shhhhh.....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 that you weren’t. And in time, who knows, he might make a good sidekick. Ha ha!

Helen (Mrs. Incredible) : He’s getting away, Bob! We have to do something! We have to do something now!

[Jack-Jack cries]

Helen (Mrs. Incredible) : Something’s happening. What’s happening?! We have to stop him! Throw something!

Bob (Mr. Incredible) : I can’t! I might hit Jack-Jack!

Helen (Mrs. Incredible) : Throw me. Bob, throw me!

[Jack-Jack cooing]

SYNDROME: No! This isn’t the end of it! I will get your son, eventually. I’ll get your son!

(Bob's supercar is seen flying towards Syndrome's ship)

SYNDROME: Oh, no.

(The car explodes, and Syndrome dodges it, but his cape gets caught on his ship's turbine force as it pulls him in)

(As he panics to get out, he struggles harder, but the force gets him as the turbine's blades liquify him. The ship starts to explode)

Helen (Mrs. Incredible) : Look at Mommy, honey. Don’t look down. Mommy’s got you. Everything is all right.

Helen (Mrs. Incredible) : That’s my girl.

DASH: Does this mean we have to move again?

KID : Oh, man.....That was totally wicked!!

SCENE #30 [ ]

(3 MONTHS LATER)

[PA announcements]

VIOLET: Do we have to have cheerleaders at the track meet? I mean, what is that all about?

GIRL: Well, I always thought it was more like a...

VIOLET: Hey.

TONY: You’re, uh, Violet, right?

VIOLET: That’s me.

GIRL: See you, Vi.

TONY: You look different.

VIOLET: I feel different. It's different okay?

TONY: Hey, different is...[clears throat] Different is great. [stammering] Would you wanna...

VIOLET: Yeah?

TONY: Do you think maybe...[stammering]...you and I...you know...

TONY: Do you...

VIOLET : Shh. I like movies. I’ll buy the popcorn. Okay?

TONY: [stammering] A movie. There you go. Yeah...yeah! Wait, wait...so Friday?

VIOLET: Friday.

[crowd cheering]

BOB AND HELEN: Go, Dash, go! Go, go, go! Run, run!

- Run, Dash! Run!

BOB: Come on, run! Pick up the pace! Move it, move it! Pace it! Slow down just a little bit! Don’t give up! Make it close!

HELEN: Second!

BOB: Close second, close second. Yeah! That’s my boy!

HELEN: Dash, I’m so proud of you.

DASH: I didn’t know what the heck you wanted me to do.

(sudden crashing and screaming as a gigantic mining drill with two blades comes out of the ground)

UNDERMINER: BEHOLD, THE UNDERMINDER! I am always beneath you, but nothing is beneath me! I hereby declare war on peace and happiness! SOON ALL WILL TREMBLE BEFORE ME!

(The family puts on their masks and Bob reveals his suit, as the Incredits play)

Quotes 

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 are lots of people, whole countries, that want respect, and will pay through the nose to get it. How do you think I got rich? I invented weapons, and now I have a weapon that only I can defeat, and when I unleash it...

[Mr. Incredible throws a log at Syndrome, who dodges it and traps Mr. Incredible with his zero-point energy ray] 

Syndrome : Oh, ho ho! You sly dog! You got me monologuing! I can't believe it...

[to Mr. Incredible] 

Syndrome : Oh, no. Elastigirl? You married Elastigirl? Ho, ho, ho...

[sees the kids] 

Syndrome : Oh - and got biz-zay! It's a whole family of supers! Looks like I hit the jackpot! Oh, this is just too good!

Syndrome : [watching live news footage of the Omnidroid]  Huh? Huh? Oh, come on! You gotta admit, this is cool! Just like a movie: the robot will emerge dramatically, do some damage, throw some screaming people. And just when all hope is lost? Syndrome will save the day! I'll be a bigger hero than you ever were.

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...

[laughs maniacally] 

Syndrome : ...*no one* will be.

Syndrome : It's finally ready! You know, I went through quite a few supers to make 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.

Mr. Incredible : [recognizing that last line]  Buddy?

Syndrome : My name is not Buddy! And it's not Incrediboy, either. That ship has sailed. All I wanted was to help you. I only wanted to help, and what do you say to me?

Mr. Incredible : [Flashback]  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.

[Helen's plane is targeted by Syndrome's missiles] 

Elastigirl : India-Golf-Niner-Niner transmitting in the blind guard, disengage, repeat, *disengage*.

[she releases anti-missile devices, begins evasive maneuvers] 

Elastigirl : Disengage, repeat, *disengage*!

Mr. Incredible : No! Call off the missiles, I'll do anything!

Syndrome : Too late! Fifteen years too late...

Elastigirl : Friendlies, at two-zero miles south-southwest of your position, angels ten, track east, disengage, over! Vi! You have to put a force field around the plane!

Violet : But you said we weren't supposed to use our powers!

Elastigirl : I know what I said! Listen to what I'm saying *now*! Disengage, repeat, *disengage*!

[missiles close in] 

Dash : [frightened]  Mom?

Elastigirl : *Violet*! Mayday, mayday, India-Golf-Niner-Niner is buddy spiked! Abort, abort, there are children aboard, say again, there are children aboard this plane!

Mr. Incredible : NO!

Elastigirl : [shouts]  Put a field around us, *now*!

Violet : [frightened]  But I've never done one that big before...!

Elastigirl : Violet, do it NOW! Abort, abort, abort!

[the missiles close in, Violet tries to create a force field but can't] 

Elastigirl : Abort abort abort!

[the missiles hit; Helen envelopes the children as the plane explodes around them] 

Mr. Incredible : Bomb Voyage.

Bomb Voyage : Monsieur Incroyable!

[Subtitles: Mr. Incredible...!] 

Buddy : And IncrediBoy!

Bomb Voyage : [not French, but with an accent]  IncrediBoy?

Buddy : Hey, hey! Aren't you curious about how I get around so fast? See? I have these rocket boots! They're made from...

Mr. Incredible : [cuts him off]  Go home, Buddy.

Buddy : What?

Mr. Incredible : Now.

Bomb Voyage : Petit naïf libe!

[Subtitles: Little oaf...!] 

Buddy : Can we talk?

[pulls Mr. Incredible off to the side] 

Buddy : You always, always say "Be true to yourself," but you never say which part of yourself to be true to! Well, I finally figured out who I am: I am your ward. IncrediBoy!

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

[grabs Bomb Voyage, who yells in surprise] 

Buddy : 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.

[points to his rocket boots] 

Buddy : I can fly! Can you fly?

Mr. Incredible : Fly home, Buddy. I work alone.

Bomb Voyage : Et ton tenue est complètement ridicule!

[Subtitles: And your outfit is totally ridiculous!] 

Buddy : Can you just give me one chance? Look, I'll show you, I'll get the police!

[Buddy runs off and Bomb Voyage puts the bomb on the cape] 

Mr. Incredible : Buddy, no!

Buddy : It only take a second, really.

Mr. Incredible : No, STOP!

[He began to stop Buddy] 

Mr. Incredible : There's a bomb!

Buddy : Let go, you're wrecking my flight pattern.

Buddy : I can do this if you lets go!

Mr. Incredible : Will you just...?

Mr. Incredible : I'm trying to help! Stop!

Buddy : Let go of my cape!

[Mr. Incredible removes the bomb from the cape] 

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

Mirage : [through her teeth]  Next time you gamble, bet *your own* life!

Syndrome : You, sir, truly are Mr. Incredible. You know, I was right to idolize you? I always knew you were tough, but tricking the probe by hiding under the bones of another super? Oh, MAN! I'm still geeking out about it!

[sigh] 

Syndrome : And then you just had to go and ruin the ride. I mean, Mr. Incredible calling for help?

[Mocking voice] 

Syndrome : Help me! Help me! Lame, lame, lame, lame, *lame*!

Syndrome : [Slams Mr. Incredible against the ground]  Am I good enough now?

[Slams him again] 

Syndrome : Who's super now? I'm Syndrome, your nemesis and...

[inadvertently throws Mr. Incredible out of sight] 

Syndrome : Oh, brilliant.

[the Incredibles enter their house to find Syndrome holding Jack-Jack. Syndrome paralyses them with his zero point energy] 

Syndrome : Shhh. The baby's sleeping.

[Syndrome gets up with Jack-Jack still in his arms, preparing to leave] 

Syndrome : You took away my future. I'm simply returning the favor. Oh, don't worry. I'll be a good mentor: supportive, encouraging...

[glares at Mr. Incredible] 

Syndrome : Everything you *weren't*. And in time, who knows? He might make a good sidekick.

Syndrome : [about his newest Omnidroid]  It's bigger. It's badder. Ladies and gentlemen, it's too much for Mr. Incredible!

[Watching news reports about his Omnidroids] 

Syndrome : Oh, come on! You gotta admit this is cool! Just like a movie! The robot will emerge dramatically, do some damage, throw some screaming people, and just when all hope is lost, *Syndrome* will save the day! I'll be a bigger hero than you ever were!

Syndrome : Whoa, whoa, whoa. Time out!

Syndrome : [after the plane is shot down]  Oh, you'll get over it. I seem to recall you prefer to..."work alone."

[laughs maniacally; Mr. Incredible tries to catch him, but Mirage pushes Syndrome out of the way and is captured] 

Mr. Incredible : Release me, now!

Syndrome : Or what?

Mr. Incredible : I'll crush her.

Syndrome : That sounds a little dark for you. Eh, go ahead.

[Mirage gasps] 

Mr. Incredible : It'll be easy, like breaking a toothpick.

Syndrome : [chuckles]  Show me.

[after a tense few moments, Mr. Incredible lets go of Mirage] 

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

Syndrome : This isn't the end of it! I will get your son eventually! I will get your son!

Mr. Incredible : No, you're that kid from the fan club. Brophy... Brody... Buddy! Buddy...

Buddy : My name is IncrediBoy.

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

Buddy : Oh, no, no, you don't have to worry about training me! I know all your moves, your crime-fighting style, favorite catchphrases, everything! I'm your number one fan!

[Mr. Incredible ejects him from the car, and speeds off] 

Syndrome : [during his fixed fight with the Omnidroid]  Somebody needs to teach this hunk of metal... a few manners!

Syndrome : Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hey, time out! What have we here? Matching uniforms? Oh, no! Elastigirl?

[laughs] 

Syndrome : 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!

[Mr. Incredible is carrying Buddy by the arm to the police] 

Mr. Incredible : [to the officers]  Take this one home. And make sure his mother knows what he's been doing.

Buddy : [to Mr. Incredible]  I can help you. You're making a mist...

[the second policeman shoves Buddy in the police car] 

Mr. Incredible : The injured jumper. You sent paramedics?

Police Officer #1 : They've already picked him up.

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

Police Officer #2 : [to Mr. Incredible]  You mean he got away?

Mr. Incredible : Well, yeah.

[pointing to Buddy Pine in the police car] 

Mr. Incredible : Skippy here made sure of that.

Buddy : IncrediBoy!

Mr. Incredible : You're not affiliated with me!

[looks at his watch, clicking on a button so his car auto drives itself to pick him up] 

Mr. Incredible : Holy smokes I'm late. Uh, listen I got to be somewhere.

Police Officer #1 : What about Bomb Voyage?

[Mr. Incredible gets in his car] 

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!

The Incredibles [ ]

Syndrome is a genius with buckteeth, a long chin, and long hair that sticks upwards like fire.

As a young boy, Buddy proclaimed himself to be a huge fan of Mr. Incredible and wanted to be his sidekick "Incrediboy". However, Mr. Incredible kept angrily telling Buddy he doesn't need his help.

Eventually, Buddy went as far as to interrupt Mr. Incredible and Bomb Voyage 's showdown and introduced his new rocket boots to Mr. Incredible. However, Mr. Incredible still angrily told Buddy to leave, furiously telling him that he works alone. Still determined to impress his hero, Buddy left to get the police to arrest Bomb Voyage, but then Bomb Voyage placed a bomb on Buddy's cape, forcing Mr. Incredible to release Bomb Voyage to save the ignorant boy. Mr. Incredible managed to remove the bomb from Buddy's cape; however, he and the bomb fell and landed on a set of train tracks. The bomb immediately detonated afterward and destroyed a large portion of the tracks as an oncoming train was approaching. Thankfully, Mr. Incredible was able to stop the train before it reached the destroyed track, although the force of the impact of the train and Mr. Incredible injured several of the passengers. Having had enough of Buddy's carelessness, Mr. Incredible angrily hands him over to the police and furiously tells them to bring him home and to inform his mom about what he was doing. Buddy's feelings of being rejected and betrayed by Mr. Incredible caused him to snap out of his morality, turn on his former idol, and eventually get his revenge.

For the next 15 years, Buddy used his skill with inventions to become a highly successful and wealthy weapons designer and arms dealer, becoming a super-villain and abandoning his conscience in the process. Though not stated in the film, it was implied that he made much money and became rich selling his weaponry to terrorist groups, foreign dictators, and organized crime families. However, no matter how rich and powerful Buddy became, he never forgot about Mr. Incredible and formulated his plans for revenge. Using his best inventions to simulate superpowers, he took on the costumed identity of "Syndrome" and set up Operation Kronos , aimed at eliminating other supers, and then portraying himself as their successor.

Operating through his agent Mirage , Syndrome contacted various retired superheroes, tasking them with the destruction of various prototypes of the enormous Omnidroid battle robots, leading to the demise of dozens of old supers, and he originally intended to lure superhero Frozone to fight his robot, however he was convinced by Mirage to change targets as she discovered that he was with Mr. Incredible and he was the one they were looking for. Syndrome had Mirage recruit Mr. Incredible, who was able to defeat the Omnidroid.

After repairing and improving the machine, Syndrome was sent to fight Mr. Incredible. When Mr. Incredible was outmatched, the super-villain revealed himself and declared himself to be Mr. Incredible's nemesis. Using his zero-point technology, he immobilized Mr. Incredible and threw him around. Syndrome inadvertently threw Mr. Incredible too far, causing the latter to fall over a waterfall. Syndrome then tried to kill Mr. Incredible with an explosive device, then sent his Bio-Probe to verify that he has been terminated. The Bio-Probe eventually made it into the cavern (where Mr. Incredible has ended up after being blasted by a force of water from the aforementioned explosive device), scanned its surrounding for signs of life, and returned to Syndrome, telling him that Mr. Incredible had been terminated (unaware that Mr. Incredible hid behind the remains of Gazerbeam , who learned about Syndrome's plan before losing his life). Despite that, Syndrome was able to capture Mr. Incredible when he tried to infiltrate his base and discovered the long list of supers he murdered and that while Syndrome didn't know Elastigirl 's location, he knew Frozone's and also planned to attack the city with his robot.

When the rest of the Incredible family followed, Syndrome assumed his prisoner had sent for reinforcements and ordered the plane to be shot down with surface-to-air missiles, taking cruel pleasure in the knowledge that he had killed his enemy's family, taunting, "You'll get over it. I seem to recall you prefer to 'work alone'?". Enraged by Syndrome's witty remark and evildoing, Mr. Incredible attempted to grab him, but instead grabbed Mirage (after she intervened) and angrily demanded that he be released or else he would kill her by snapping her back. Syndrome was unimpressed and called his bluff, knowing that even with nothing to lose, Mr. Incredible would not kill an enemy. This callous disregard for life eventually turns Mirage against Syndrome, leading her to free Mr. Incredible from captivity, inform him of his family's survival, and help him to escape and reunite with them.

Syndrome captures the Incredibles

The Incredibles quickly defeat the guards. However, Syndrome comes along and captures the whole family with his zero-point energy rays—during which he is surprised to find that Mr. Incredible had married Elastigirl and had children and imprisons them, taking the opportunity to elaborate on his plan. He intends to set the Omnidroid v.10 on Metroville and then stop it himself, taking the credit and setting himself up as the city's new hero. Syndrome also revealed that after he becomes old, he intends to sell his inventions so that everyone can enjoy powers similar to his, and gradually become superheroes. Syndrome echoes a similar earlier comment of Dash 's that "when everyone is super, no one will be", hinting that by doing so, the concept of being a superhero would no longer be special.

Arriving at Metroville, where the Omnidroid was on a rampage, Syndrome introduced himself as a new superhero to the public, then utilized his remote to "teach this hunk of metal a few manners." However, Syndrome underestimated the Omnidroid's ability to learn, which allowed the robot to identify Syndrome as a threat and blasted his remote-control wristband from his wrist before sending him flying uncontrollably into a building. Knocked out from the impact, he remained unconscious during the battle in which the Incredibles, with help from Frozone , finally destroyed the Omnidroid, robbing Syndrome of his victory. Rick Dicker , a government agent of National Supers Agency , then froze all of Syndrome's assets, adding that he and his colleagues would stop him if he were to be spotted anywhere.

Syndrome bragging about his plan to the Incredibles in the containment unit after he captured them

After his plans to fraudulently become a superhero and replace the supers that he had killed off were foiled by the combined efforts of the Incredibles and Frozone, Syndrome went over to the Parr family residence, where he planned to abduct Jack-Jack (the baby and youngest child of Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl) and raise him as a sidekick. Carrying the baby in his arms, Syndrome made his way back up to his jet, but Jack-Jack used his powers against him and disabled one of Syndrome's rocket boots, making him fly uncontrollably and crash into his jet. The impact made him drop Jack-Jack, who is rescued by Elastigirl. Realizing that he had lost, but refusing to admit defeat, Syndrome leaned from the side door of his jet, vowing to return and get Jack-Jack. However, Mr. Incredible threw his car at the jet, knocking Syndrome off balance. Ending up on the jet's left wing in front of its turbine, Syndrome, as he was wearing a cape, frantically tried to climb away from the turbine that was pulling him by his cape, desperate to save himself, but his cape then got caught in the turbine that sucked him in (echoing an earlier scene regarding the dangers of wearing a cape told by Edna ), killing the supervillain (similar to what happened to Stratogale ) and destroying his jet in a resulting explosion.

Biography [ ]

Early life [ ].

Young Buddy as "IncrediBoy"

As a 10-year-old boy, Buddy was Mr. Incredible's #1 fan, and he considered himself to be Mr. Incredible's self-appointed sidekick, "IncrediBoy". Mr. Incredible initially humored Buddy with autographs and similar considerations but did not approve of a child showing up uninvited to announce that they're partners to begin with, much less repeatedly. Even though Mr. Incredible eventually resorted to bluntly telling Buddy that he wouldn't tolerate such harassment, Buddy wasn't deterred. Buddy even went as far as to interrupt Mr. Incredible's impending showdown with Bomb Voyage (who stole some money from the bank), placing himself in danger. When Bomb Voyage placed a bomb on Buddy's cape (unbeknownst to Buddy), Mr. Incredible was forced to release Bomb Voyage to save Buddy. However, the rescue ended up causing one of the two lawsuits that Mr. Incredible faced and lost, thus opening a floodgate of other lawsuits against supers and thus, abolishing supers altogether. Fed up with Buddy's carelessness, Mr. Incredible angrily handed him over to the police. However, the cops do not press criminal charges against Buddy, but act upon Mr. Incredible's recommendation that they let Buddy's mother know what her son has been doing, and it will be up to the Pine family to determine the appropriate punishment for Buddy for interfering in Mr. Incredible's duties. Buddy's punishment at the hands of his family was not revealed, but a flashback of him angrily looking up at a Mr. Incredible poster and then tearing it down suggests that he was grounded and sent to his room.

"IncrediBoy" showed advanced mechanical skill by creating his rocket boots, but they weren't nearly enough to convince Mr. Incredible, whose callous dismissals left Buddy's fantasies crushed. This blow and his skewed interpretation of the event, shown in a later distorted flashback where Bomb Voyage wasn't even present, drove Buddy to a venomous hatred, and then to revenge.

Following life [ ]

Buddy as Syndrome

Buddy had grown to be twenty-five years of age and has turned into a supervillain. He wears his hair in a tall wavy Jimmy Neutron -esque do. Despite being a villain, he is still a child at heart and is prone to geek-out moments and monologuing.

After his assets are frozen by the United States Secret Service, Syndrome made one final attempt at revenge by breaking into the Incredibles' house and acting as a replacement for Kari McKeen , then abducting Jack-Jack. Syndrome then flew up into the sky and headed for his jet plane to retreat back to Nomanisan Island. However, Syndrome failed once again due to Jack-Jack's emerged superpowers and Elastigirl saving Jack-Jack (and then using her body as a parachute). Syndrome then leaned from the side door of his plane, beginning to vow vengeance next time. However, Mr. Incredible threw his car at Syndrome's plane, knocking Syndrome off balance. Syndrome's cape then gets caught in the jet engine (calling back to Edna Mode 's rule against capes). He was killed by a combination of the engine's blades, the intense heat of the engine, and the explosion of the plane.

Jack-Jack Attack [ ]

Taking place on the same day Syndrome tries to establish himself as a "Superhero" and his plans fail, right after he regains consciousness, he rushes over to the Parr's residence to abduct Jack-Jack. At the same time, Kari was babysitting Jack-Jack, but due to her encounters with Jack-Jack's superpowers, she was looking insane, as well as mistaking Syndrome for a replacement. The very next thing she noticed is Syndrome's "S" on the front of his costume, Syndrome tries to cover it up by saying it stands for "Sitter", then trying to further that disguise by telling Kari that his original idea was that he had initials for "BabySitter", but then he would be flying around with a big "B.S." and claiming it would have been embarrassing (as it is a shorthand of a swear word).

Physical appearance [ ]

Syndrome is barrel-chested. His red hair extends straight up with a widow's peak in a manner reminiscent of flames. Syndrome is "not a super", but he demonstrates exceptional ingenuity, technical knowledge and planning skill far beyond the science of his time. The animators had intended Syndrome to be a caricaturization of director Brad Bird , but it had been debated as to whether they should spoof Bird in their drawing of Mr. Incredible. Ultimately, both Mr. Incredible and Syndrome are pastiches of Brad Bird.

Powers and abilities [ ]

• Genius level intelligence : Even though he has no superpowers, he is a genius with significantly above-average intelligence, largely compensating for his lack of special powers and making him an extremely dangerous opponent.
• Technological genius : Syndrome is an incredible technician, being able to create a wide variety of weapons and high-performance vehicles. He was able to create flying boots at a young age, which he later modified as an adult, indicating he was a child prodigy. As an adult, he made himself rich by selling his weapons and was able to earn a vast wealth and many henchmen. He was able to create restraint systems for Supers, flying vehicles for combat and transport, a very powerful explosive battery, a lie detector or a large number of highly sophisticated combat robots.
• Highly qualified tactician : Syndrome was also an excellent tactician, he was able to put in place a complex plan to get rid of Bob involving the mass murder of superheroes, lure Bob to his island easily by exploiting his desire to return to his superhero life, set up a bluff against Bob when he takes Mirage hostage, put in place a plan to pass himself off as a hero through his Omnidroids, though this plan finally failed, and easily gain the trust of Jack-Jack's babysitters, although this is due to her inability to handle the baby and her stupidity.

Weaponry and gadgets [ ]

• Utility Gauntlets - Using zero-point energy, Syndrome can create a field of quantum energy that inhibits the majority of a victim's body movement. If the victim's skin is exposed, the range of motion of the victim's face is also taken to the minimum (only their eyes can move), and the ability to speak is also inhibited. The field is moved by his fingers and can be fired in the forms of energy blasts and concentrated beams. Like the trigger for Spider-Man's web-shooters, the trigger for these weapons is located high on the palm of each hand to prevent most unwanted firings. The left-hand gauntlet also holds the remote control for the Omnidroid. A communicator is likely built into the right-hand gauntlet.
• Aero Boots - In his short days as IncrediBoy, Buddy used makeshift rockets. As Syndrome, his rocket boots were modified to project flames of blue fire.
• Bio-Probe - Used to locate temperature, atmosphere and life signals in various locations. Worn in the left-hand gauntlet.
• Miniature "I"-bomb - Small, but exceedingly powerful bomb. Worn in the right-hand gauntlet. Based on its detonation its explosive may be triggered by impact as it doesn't explode until touching a rock. Unknown if it is exclusively a water bomb.
• Omnidroid - To date, there have been ten known versions of this battle robot. The first nine were prototypes designed to fight and kill supers. The tenth was used in the foiled Operation Kronos. All of them were artificially intelligent, enabling it to solve any problem that it encounters; Omnidroid v.10 figured out that Syndrome used a remote device to control it and knocked him unconscious. Another feature of the Omnidroids is that they have colored eyes (e.g., 08 has a blue/green eye, v.10 has a red eye). The Omnidroid's only weakness is itself: in the film, Mr. Incredible scrambles into Omnidroid 08 's inner workings, making the machine pierce its hull in a vain attempt to pry the hero free from inside, and later on, Mr. Incredible launches Omnidroid v.10's claw at it and tears right through it, ripping out its power core.
• Viper - Helicopter-like, VTOL vehicles with ducted fans attached that twist and turn to control the vehicle's altitude and movement. The ducted fans tend to decrease lift when changing the independent blade pitch.
• Velocipod - Round open cars with four surrounding blades that spin at exceedingly high speeds to keep them airborne.
• Manta Jets - Specially designed transporters resembling manta rays that have a translucent holographic monitor inside and can travel underwater.
• Energy Prisons - Prisons in which the victim is obtained inside a powerful electric field and unable to escape due to hard metal mine balls.

Personality [ ]

Syndrome's personality (namely his callous disregard of others and lack of conscience or morality) all stem back to psychopathy. He is a mad scientist determined to make himself a hero even if it meant creating a killer robot to murder various retired ones. Due to Mr. Incredible making him believe that he could count on nobody except for himself, he has no value of human life which was shown when he let loose the Omnidroid on a populated area to pretend to be a superhero, allowed missiles to fire on Helen, Dash and Violet's plane even after discovering there were children onboard and was willing to risk Mirage's safety to call Mr. Incredible's bluff, although he decided not to murder Jack-Jack, nor Jack-Jack's babysitter, and instead deceive her into giving her custody of Jack-Jack to him, (though this may have been because she was easily persuaded due to her being incapable of handling Jack-Jack's powers).

Syndrome was a scientific, technological, technical and mechanical genius, and possessed the intelligence and resourcefulness sufficient to create an incredible variety of weaponry and equipment. He was also capable of creating a sentient, self-aware, incredibly powerful and intelligent being that ultimately defeated him.

Aside from his derangement Syndrome is skeptical, he thinks that the only way to get respect was to become a threat. He is inhuman as well, as shown when after realizing that Bob knew Helen from the transmission, he instantly set missiles on their plane and then mocked them on their apparent deaths after recalling how Bob told him that he worked alone.

Like many sociopaths, Syndrome holds a firm belief that mercy is a weakness and disregarding life is a strength that was pointed out by Mirage. Syndrome himself is a very serene, reasonable, and even-tempered young man, rarely if ever expressing his temper. When Mr. Incredible just destroyed his ninth Omnidroid instead of initial anger, he simply compliments the feat by saying it was "impressive." This also shows when Bob took Mirage hostage and Syndrome shows no concern when he threatens to crush her after he realizes that Bob was too noble to do such a thing with that being part of the reason why he showed no concern, though he was displeased when Mirage decided to leave him.

While he wished to become a superhero, Buddy had a very skewed and egotistical definition of what a superhero truly was as he assumed that Mr. Incredible rejected him because he had no powers, completely ignoring the fact that he was untrained and was causing more interference than help, and said that he was a real hero for beating Mr. Incredible after the latter called him out for wanting to pretend to be a hero, missing the point that as an egotist and a murderer he couldn't be a true hero.

Syndrome is an extremely spiteful and vindictive individual; after being rejected by his former idol it turned him into a megalomaniacal supervillain. However, he was still rational enough not to make his hatred allow him to be cocky and realized that the Omnidroid would have to be worthy before fighting Bob.

He also never acknowledges his faults, completely ignoring that it was his pestering, lack of training and interference putting him and others in danger that made Mr. Incredible lose his patience and reject him. This goes so far that in his recollection of Mr. Incredible rejecting him Bomb Voyage is no longer present.

Despite his sinister personality, Syndrome is also shown to have a hilarious side, remarking that he and Mrs. Incredible "had gotten busy" after being married, and accidentally tossing Mr. Incredible off a cliff while trying to explain his plan to him. He also told Kari that wearing a "BS" on the shirt was below him while explaining why he had an S on his shirt.

However, it is needless to say that Syndrome was not always like this; Buddy Pine was cheerful, inventive, positive and smart if not a little irritating and obnoxious. He was somewhat obsessed with Mister Incredible as he was a member of the fan club, knows his favorite catchphrases and fighting styles and his self-proclaimed number one fan. He is a child prodigy, creating rocket boots that allow him to fly; unfortunately, however, his intrusions caused his idol to lose Bomb Voyage. After being rejected by Mister Incredible twice this led Buddy down a dark path until it became a desire for vengeance. However, even as a kid, Buddy seemed to believe being a superhero was about wearing cool outfits and getting to beat people up, showing no real desire to help others. This suggests that he could have potentially become an anti-hero even if Bob hadn't turned him down. To be fair, he was a kid at the time, so he might not have comprehended what being a superhero meant.

Behind the Scenes [ ]

Conception and creation [ ].

Syndrome was originally meant to be a throwaway character. In a deleted scene (the alternate opening), Syndrome, after learning from an agent of his that Mr. Incredible had recently moved into a new neighborhood (after an incident where Mr. Incredible accidentally cleaved his hand with a butcher knife and, due to his superhuman durability, dented it in the process without injury to himself, and was forced to fake injury and hide the incriminating knife.), broke into the Incredible Family's home (the Incredibles used the last name " Smith " instead of " Parr "), disguising himself as a burglar and making enough noise to lure Bob to him, and then used Bob as a battering ram to wreck the home. He also tried to capture Violet while she was still in her infancy, but she, in her invisible state, regurgitated saliva onto his eyes (apparently, the baby Violet had a problem with this, as earlier in the scene, she regurgitated saliva onto her mother's shirt, much to the disgust of one of their neighbors), making him drop the parents. In response, Syndrome immobilized both Helen and Violet but became immobilized himself when Bob rolled a mirror between them and lodged him into the ceiling of Violet's room. Syndrome was ultimately killed when the family's home was totaled in a gas main explosion sparked by a flame in the fireplace (the Incredibles, however, managed to escape in time). In the same scene, Syndrome, upon discovering Violet, also hinted that Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl essentially broke the law by marrying and having children, although this concept was cut in the final version, as when a similarly scripted revelation occurred, he does not mention the legality of whether Supers should breed or not.

• According to official sources, Syndrome is in his mid 20's, is 5'7" (170 cm) and weighs 185 lbs (83 kg). [1]
• In another bit of foreshadowing, as Incrediboy, Bomb Voyage placed a bomb on his cape before Mr. Incredible got it off, leading to the string of events that brought down costumed superheroes in the first place.
• In Jack-Jack Attack , his mask is not on, and he still has his cape.
• Syndrome is one of the few characters whose voice actor also voiced his juvenile counterpart.
• When Buddy sneaks into Mr. Incredible's car, Mr. Incredible goes through several names trying to remember Buddy's name. One of the names he says is "Brodie", possibly a reference to Syndrome's voice actor Jason Lee 's breakout character from the movie Mallrats .
• Syndrome is a direct homage to the DC comics character Ozymandias from the novel "Watchmen". Like Ozymandias, Syndrome has no inherent superhuman powers but possesses an incredible intellect and technical aptitude. They brought themselves up from nothing to become exceptionally wealthy. They both as villains enacted a plan to fabricate an invasion to unite humanity (albeit their motive differed, Syndrome did to masquerade as a hero, Ozymandias did so to end war and violence worldwide). Both worked a scheme to eliminate costume heroes that could potentially offset their plans.
• Before Jason Lee was cast to voice Syndrome, Joaquin Phoenix was originally considered. In addition to Phoenix, actors such as Topher Grace, Jim Carrey, Ewan McGregor, David Cross, Paul Giamatti, and Robin Williams were also considered for the voice of Syndrome.
• Syndrome briefly appears in a storyboard deleted scene for Incredibles 2 , where Bob hosts a memorial dedicated to Gazerbeam as well as other supers who were killed by the Omnidroids.
