Edna E Mode

  • My God, you've gotten fat. Come in, come, come! (to Bob Parr)
  • I never look back, dahling. It distracts from the now.
  • 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!
  • You can't! It's impossible! I'm far too busy, so ask me now before I again become sane.
  • No capes!
  • Well, I'm sure I don't know, dahling; luck favors the prepared. I didn't know the baby's powers, so I covered the basics...
  • I cut it a little roomy for the free movement. The fabric is comfortable for sensitive skin... and it can also withstand a temperature of over one thousand degrees... completely bulletproof... and machine-washable, dahling. That's a new feature.
  • What are you talking about? You are Elastigirl! My God! Pull yourself together! What will you do? Is...is...is this a question? You will show him that you remember that he is Mr. Incredible! And you will REMIND him, who YOU are! Well, you know where he is... Go! Confront the problem! Fight! Win! And call me when you get back, dahling, I enjoy our visits.
  • (speaking into a voive activated lock) Edna Mode... (several guns appear and point at Helen) and guest. (guns withdraw)
  • Yes words are useless. Gobble, gobble, gobble. That is too much of it, darling. Too much.
[edit]

Mr. Incredible (Bob Parr)

  • 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, for ten minutes?! Please?!
  • I've still got time. (repeatedly, during a series of crises as he heads toward his wedding.)
  • Okay...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... Norma. Wilcox. (points) ... W-I-L-C-O-X on the 3rd floor, but I can't. I also DO NOT advise you to fill out a WS-2574 form with our legal department on the 2nd floor. I would NOT expect someone to get back to you quickly to resolve the matter. I'd LIKE to help, but there's nothing I can do... shh, (in a loud voice) I'M SORRY, MA'AM... I KNOW YOU'RE UPSET...(whispers) pretend to be upset! (Bob consoling and helping his elderly client)
  • Reliving the glory days is better than acting like they didn't happen!
  • It's psychotic! They keep inventing new ways to celebrate mediocrity. But when someone is genuinely exceptional...
  • Showtime
  • You keep trying to pick a fight, while I'm still just happy that you're alive.
  • Hey, come on. We're superheroes. What could happen? (to Helen at their wedding, shortly before onslaught of lawsuits that brought about the Superhero Ban.)
  • No... there isn't. Why are you here? How can you possibly bring me lower? What more can you take away from me? (released by Mirage)
  • How could I betray the perfect woman? (discovery and rescue by Elastigirl)
  • You are my greatest adventure - and I almost missed it. I swear I'll get us out of here.
[edit]

ElastiGirl (Helen Parr)

  • I think you need to be a little more... flexible.
  • Of course I have a secret identity! Can you see me in this (indicates her super-suit) at the, at the supermarket? Come on! I don't want to go shopping as Elastigirl, you know what I mean?
  • 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.
  • When you asked me if I was doing anything later, I didn't realise you'd actually forgotten. I thought it was playful banter.
  • Is this... rubble?
  • We're superheroes. What could happen? (just prior to battle with Omnidroid X.)
  • 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!
  • We are not gonna die! Now, both of you will get a grip, or so help me, I'll ground you for a month! Understand?
  • Your identity is your most precious possession. Protect it.
  • Remember the bad guys on those shows you used to watch on Saturday morning? 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.
  • Island approach, India-Golf Niner-Niner checking in, VFR on top, over. Island Tower, this is India-Golf Niner-Niner, requesting vectors to the initial, over. (Helen hailing Nomanisan)
  • India-Golf Niner-Niner, transmitting in the blind guard -- disengage, repeat, disengage! Disengage, repeat dis-en-gage! Friendlies at two-zero miles south-southwest of your position, angels 10, track east, over! (Missile Lock!)
  • Mayday! Mayday! India-Golf Niner-Niner is buddyspiked! Abort-abort, there are children aboard this airplane! Abort-abort-abort! Abort-abort!! (Helen desperately hails Nomanisan, explosion)
  • Shhh. 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! If the time comes, you'll know what to do. It's in your blood. (Helen comforting regretful Violet)
[edit]

Frozone (Lucius Best)

  • Super-ladies, they're always trying to tell you their secret identity. Think it'll strengthen the relationship or something like that. I say, "Girl, I don't wanna know about your mild-mannered alter ego or anything like that." I mean, you tell me you're, uh, super-mega-ultra-lightning babe? That's all right with me. I'm good. I'm good.
  • To 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.
  • I don't see anyone from the old days, Bob. Just you. And we're pushing our luck as it is.
  • Aw - now... that ain't right.
  • We look like bad guys! Incompetent bad guys!
  • I'm thirsty. I'm just getting a drink.
  • I know, I know. Freeze!
  • I wanted to go bowling!
  • Where's my super-suit?
[edit]

Dash (Dashiell Robert Parr)

  • I promise I'll slow up! I'll only be the best by a tiny bit!
  • You always say, "Do your best," but you don't really mean it. Why can't I do the best I can do?
  • She'd eat if we were having Tonyloaf!
  • We're dead! We're dead! We survived but we're dead!
  • You wanna go toward the people who just tried to kill us?
  • ... and those guys tried to KILL us! That was the best vacation EVER! (sighs) I love our family.
  • Does this mean we have to move again? (after a huge explosion destroys the Parrs' house)
  • (In the car with Elastigirl, after she says everyone is special) It's the same as saying nobody is.
[edit]

Violet Parr

  • Normal? What do you know about "normal"? What does anyone in this family know about "normal"? We act normal Mom, but I want to be normal! The only normal one is Jack-Jack - and he's not even toilet-trained!
  • Mom? Mom, w-what happened on the plane, I... I-I'm sorry, I wanted to help... I-I mean, when you asked me to, to... I'm sorry.
  • (As Dash sprints out of an exploding cave) What did you DO?!
  • Well... I think Dad has made some excellent progress today, but I think it's time we wind down now.
  • I feel different. Is different okay?
  • (In front of Tony Rydinger) He looked at me.
  • Dash, remember what mom said... Dash run... Run!
  • We don't need to. Just use the coordinates from the last launch. "(Violet advising on rockets)"
[edit]

Syndrome (Buddy Pine/Incrediboy)

  • I learned an important lesson. You can't count on anyone... especially your heroes.
  • See? Now you respect me, because I'm a threat. That's the way it works. It turns out there are lots 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 that only I can defeat. And when I unleash it who can HIDE (Mr. Incredible throws log at him. Syndrome hits him with zero-point energy) *chuckling* You sly dog! You got me monologuing! I can't believe it.
  • Oh, man! I'm still geeking out about it!
  • I knew you couldn't do it - even when you've got nothing to lose. You're weak... and I've outgrown you.
  • What have we here? Matching uniforms? Oh, no... Elastigirl? You married Elastigirl?!Ho ho ho...oh! (looks at Violet and Dash) And got biz-zay! It's a whole family of Supers! Looks like I've hit the jackpot! Oh, this is just too good!
  • I'll give them heroics. I'll give them the most spectacular heroics they've ever seen! And when I'm old and I've had my fun, I'll sell my inventions so everyone can be superheroes! Everyone can be super! And when everyone's super... (laughs maniacally)... no one will be.
  • Am I good enough NOW?!
    (He uses his zero-point energy beam to slam Mr. Incredible to the ground.)
    Who's super NOW?!
    (Again he uses his beam to slam Mr. Incredible to the ground. He then grabs Mr. Incredible with said beam and lifts him up in the air.)
    I'm SYNDROME! Your nemesis and...
    (He then realises he accidentally threw Mr. Incredible and turns around to see him go flying into the distance.)
    (to himself) Oh, brilliant...
  • You took away my future. I'm simply returning the favor. Oh, no, don't worry, I'll be a good mentor: supportive, encouraging -- everything you weren't. And in time, who knows? He might make a good sidekick.
  • (last line) This isn't the end of it! I will get your son eventually! I'll get your son! (laughs, then realizes Mr. Incredible has thrown his car at him) Oh no. (gets knocked out of his plane and screams as he is sucked into a jet engine)
[edit]

Mirage

  • We have something in common. According to the government, neither of us exists.
  • The supers aren't gone, Mister Incredible. You're still here. You can still do great things. Or... you can listen to police scanners. Your choice.
  • He's attracted to power. So am I. It's a... weakness we share.
  • He's not weak, you know. Valuing life is not a weakness. And disregarding it is not strength.
  • Next time you gamble, bet your own life.
  • You must be Mrs. In-- (is then punched by Elastigirl, who walked in on Mr. Incredible hugging Mirage for releasing him from Syndrome's torture machine)
  • And don't die. "(sending Mr. Incredible off against Omnidroid 08)"

  • "GO SAVE YOURSELF!" ~ picket sign in crowd of anti-super protestors

Dialogue

(Mr.Incredible is about to go to the scene of a tour bus robbery when Buddy Pine enters the car.)
Buddy: Cool! Ready for takeoff!
Mr.Incredible: What the...? Who are you supposed to be?
Buddy: Well, I'm IncrediBoy!
Mr.Incredible: What? No. You're that kid from the fan club! Brothy... Bro... Brody... Bu... 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 is...
Buddy: No, no, no. You don't have to worry about training me. I know all your moves, your crime fighting style, favorite catch phrases, Everything! I am your number one fan!
[Buddy is ejected from the car and the Incredibile speeds away]
Buddy: Hey! Hey, wait!


(Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl chat after defeating a burglar.)
Mr. Incredible: I work alone.
Elastigirl: And I think you need to be more... (she goes through rapid series of stretch-power maneuvers) flexible.
Mr. Incredible: Uh... are you doing anything later?
Elastigirl: I have a previous engagement.


(Bob Parr arrives at the church for his wedding at the last second.)
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.
Bob: Showtime!
Minister: Robert Parr, will you have this woman to be your lawfully-wedded wife...?
Helen (whispering): 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 kind of 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 gotta be more than Mr. Incredible. You know that.


(Outside a courthouse, Mr. Incredible confronts a suicide jumper he rescued, who is now suing him.)
Mr. Incredible: Hey, I saved your life!
Mr. Sansweet: You didn't save my life! You ruined my death, that's what you did!


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 (sullenly): Which is another way of saying no one is.


Helen: Dash got sent to the office again.
Bob (distracted): Good, good.
Helen: No, Bob, that's bad.
Bob: What?
Helen (slowly): Dash got sent to the office again.
Bob: What? What for?
Dash: Nothing.
Helen: He put a tack on the teacher's chair-during class.
Dash: Nobody saw me. You could barely even see it on the tape.
Bob: They had a tape, and you still got away with it? Whoa! You must've been booking! How fast do you think you were going?
Helen: Bob, we are NOT encouraging this!


(Bob Parr and Lucius Best, in ski masks, are rescuing people from a burning building.)
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 could use the water in the air!
Lucius: There IS no water in this air! What's your excuse - run out of muscle?
Bob: I can't just go smashing through walls! The building's getting weaker by the second! It's gonna come down on top of us!
Lucius: I WANTED TO GO BOWLING!


(After a shouting match, Bob and Helen reassure their kids.)
Bob: But that's okay, because what's important is that Mommy and I are always a team. We're always... united, against, uh... uh, the forces of, uh...
Helen: Pig-headedness?
Bob: Uh, I was gonna say "evil".


(Bob Parr's boss feels that he's approving too many insurance claims.)
Bob Parr: Did I do something illegal?
Mr. Huph: (reluctantly) No ...
Bob Parr: Are you saying we shouldn't help our customers?
Mr. Huph: The law requires that I answer "No".
Bob Parr: We're supposed to help people.
Mr. Huph: We're supposed to help OUR people! Starting with our stock holders, Bob! Who's helping THEM out? Huh? You know, Bob, a company...
Bob Parr: ...is like an enormous clock.
Mr. Huph: Is like an enormous cl... Yes! Precisely! It only works if all the little cogs mesh together. Now, a clock needs to be cleaned, well lubricated, and wound tight. The best clocks have jewel movements, cogs that fit, cooperate by design. (chuckles) Forgive me if I'm being metaphorical, Bob. You know what I mean by cooperative cogs? Bob? Bob? Look at me when I'm talking to you, Parr!
Bob Parr: That man out there. He needs help!
Mr. Huph: Do not change the subject! We are discussing your actions!
Bob Parr: He is getting MUGGED!
Mr. Huph: Well, let's hope we don't cover him.
Bob Parr: I'll be right back.
Mr. Huph: Stop right now, OR YOU'RE FIRED! Close the door. Get over here. I'm not happy, Bob. Not happy.
Bob Parr: He got away.
Mr. Huph: It's a good thing, too. You were this close to losing your... (Bob chokes him and throws him through four offices, also breaking half of the metal Insuricare logo. Everyone glares at him.)
Bob Parr: Uh-oh.


Bob Parr: What are you waiting for?
Boy on tricycle: I don't know, something amazing, I guess.
Bob Parr: Me too, kid.


(Mr. Incredible reviews details of his first superhero mission in 15 years.)
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.


Edna Mode: No capes. (She throws crumpled piece of paper and hits Bob on the forehead.)
Bob Parr: Isn't that my decision?
Edna: Do you remember Thunderhead? Tall, storm powers? Nice man, good with kids.
Bob: Listen, E --
Edna: NOVEMBER 15th of '58! All was well, another day saved, when... his cape snagged on a missile fin.
Bob: (chuckles) Thunderhead was not the brightest bulb --
Edna: STRATOGALE! April 23rd, '57. Cape caught in a jet turbine!
Bob: E, you can't generalize about these things --
Edna: METAMAN! EXPRESS ELEVATOR! DYNAGUY! SNAG ON TAKEOFF! SPLASHDOWN! SUCKED INTO A VORTEX! NO CAPES!


Edna: Your new suit will be ready before your next assignment.
Bob: You know I'm retired from hero work.
Edna: As am I, Robert, yet here we are.


Helen:There's plenty of leftovers 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 Parr: Yeah, but why am I in charge, again?
Helen Parr: Nothing. Just a little trouble with Daddy.
Violet: You mean Dad's in trouble, or Dad is the trouble?
Helen: I mean he's either in trouble, or he's gonna be.


(Helen, Violet, and Dash are huddled around a campfire in a cave.)
Helen:I think your father is in trouble.
Violet: In case you didn't notice, Mom, we're not doing so hot either.
Helen: 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: (hands them masks) Put these on. Your identity is your most valuable possession. Protect it. And if anything goes wrong, use your powers.
Violet: But you said never to use...
Helen: 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: Vi, I'm counting on you.
Violet: There's something i...
Helen: I'm counting on you. Be strong. Dash, if anything goes wrong, I want you to run as fast as you can.
Dash (excited): As fast as I can?!
Helen: As fast as you can. Stay hidden. Keep each other safe. I'll be back by morning. (Hugs them both and runs off)


Violet Parr: What do you think is going on around here? You think we're on vacation or something? Mom and Dad's lives could be in jeopardy! Or worse... their marriage.
Dash Parr: Their marriage? So... the bad guys are trying to wreck Mom and Dad's marriage.
Violet: Oh, forget it. You're so immature.


(Violet has just created a force-field "bubble" protecting herself and Dash from gunfire.)
Dash: How are you doing that?!
Violet: I don't know!
Dash: Whatever you do, don't stop!


(Lucius - Frozone - is dressing for dinner when the Omnidroid attacks the city.)
Lucius: Honey?
Honey: What..?
Lucious: Where's my super-suit?
Honey: What...?
Lucius: WHERE... IS... MY... SUPER... SUIT?!
Honey: I uh... put it away.

(Helicopter crashes)

Lucius: WHERE?!
Honey: WHY do you need to KNOW?!
[Lucius runs through the house apartment looking for his suit.]
Lucius: I need it!
Honey: Uh-uh! Don't you think about runnin' off and doin' no darrin-do! We've been plannin' this dinner for two months!
Lucius: The public is in danger!
Honey: Our evening's in danger!
Lucius: YOU TELL ME WHERE MY SUIT IS, WOMAN! We are talking about the greater good!
Honey: "Greater good"? I am your WIFE! I'm the greatest good you are ever gonna get!
(to stop Syndrome, the Incredibles take a ride on his second rocket)
Dash: Are we there yet?
Bob: We'll get there when we get there!


Bob: Well, if you thought there was going to be danger, why'd you bring them [the kids]?
Helen: I didn't bring them! They stowed away! And I don't think you're striking the proper tone here!

Jack-Jack Attack

short feature with The Incredibles DVD
[Last-minute babysitter Kari turns to Jack-Jack in his highchair.]
Kari: [in baby talk] Now who's ready for some neurological stimulation?


[Syndrome, in costume, arrives at the Parr home.]
Kari: What does the "S" stand for?
Syndrome: For… s-s-s… sitter! Yeah, sitter. Heh. Originally, I was gonna have initials for "baby sitter", but then I would have been going around wearing a big "B.S.", and [laughing] you understand why I couldn't go with that.
[Cut to Agent Dicker's interrogation of Kari.]
Dicker: And you believed him.
Kari: THE BABY WAS EXPLODING! YOU EVER SEEN AN EXPLODING BABY BEFORE, MR DICKER?!
