Scene 1- Superhero Interview

[The film opens showing an old interview. seated in front of a colored backing is a magnificent masked man in a superhero suit: mid 20s, ruggedly handsome and powerfully built and attempts to attach his mic. We're watching a faded documentary, shot in 16mm. A title fades in, identifying the man as Mr. Incredible]

Mr. Incredible: Is this on?

Interviewer: [off screen (o.s)] That’s fine.

Mr. Incredible: I can break through walls, I just can’t…

Interviewer: [o.s] That’s fine.

Mr. Incredible: I can’t get this on.

[He finally gets his microphone on.]

Interviewer: [o.s] So, Mr. Incredible… do you have a secret identity?

Mr. Incredible: What? 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?

[Walt Disney Pictures Presents...]

[Resume documentary: Another striking, masked superhero, a woman this time. A title identifies her as Elastigirl]

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?

[A Pixar Animation Studios Film...]

[Resume documentary: A third, masked superhero comes in, a African American man, this time, A title identifies him as Frozone]

Frozone: Super Ladies, 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: [laughing o.s] I could get to that point.

Mr. Incredible: Please? [He gets up and tries to leave.]

Interviewer: [o.s] Wait, no, don’t get up yet. 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...

[Fades to black...]

Scene 2- Mr. Incredible and Incrediboy

[Sirens scream. Lights flash red and blue. We're in the middle of a classic car chase: A police car in hot pursuit of another car driven by armed bank robbers. The robber riding shotgun primes his sub-machine gun and unloads on the cop car, which swerves into oncoming traffic to avoid the hail of bullets. Bob Parr, a dashing, golden-haired man in his 20s listens to his radio. If he looks familiar, it's because he is the same man we saw earlier: Mr. Incredible, minus the mask and super-suit. Suddenly the music is interrupted by an announcement]

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

[Bob presses a button. The radio flips: converting to a screen filled with a moving aerial map of the city streets. He selects "Isolate Pursuit". Two red dots appear, moving quickly over the map. He makes a hard right turn. Looks at the screen. A tiny "i" icon (Mr. Incredible's logo) closes in on the two red dots. He looks at his watch, to see what time it is]

Bob: Yeah, I’ve got time.

[He presses another button: "Auto-drive" and selects "Merge Pursuit". Bob smiles and takes his hands off the wheel and a rapid series of automated actions begin: the seat back drops flat; the passenger seat folds against the window as the driver's seat slides to the center. Bob raises his arms as metal bands lock around his waist, then separate, sliding apart toward his head and his toes, removing his clothes to reveal his slick, brightly colored Mr. Incredible super-suit underneath, He smiles again as he comes up. He presses another button: the car's exterior converts into the coolest retro-futuristic vehicle ever seen: The Incredi-Bile. Mr. Incredible looks up: Through the windshield we see an old lady waving him down]

Old Lady: Mr. Incredible. Um, Mr. Incredible…

[Mr. Incredible pulls up. His window whooshes open]

Mr. Incredible: What is it, ma’am?

Old Lady: My cat, Squeaker, won’t come down. [Points to her cat in the tree]

[Mr. Incredible glances at his screen: the pursuit is headed his way. He thinks, making some quick calculations, then]

Mr. Incredible: Certainly, ma’am but I suggest you stand clear. There could be trouble.

Old Lady: No, no. He’s quite tame.

[Mr. Incredible takes the tree out of the ground and shakes it. Mr. Incredible looks at the map and sees the criminals getting closer. He looks around to see them driving around the corner.]

Mr. Incredible: [Muttering] Let go now!

[The cop car pulls back in behind the robbers' car. The cops are firing now and closing in. Mr. Incredible and the cat tree. Nervously checking the pursuit on his video screen, Mr. Incredible rips the tree out of the ground. He tips it, leaning it across to the old lady just as the car chase squeals into view at the end of the block. Mr. Incredible sees this and hastily shakes the tree, trying to dislodge Squeaker. The car chase. The cars swerve into view now, bordering the park that Mr. Incredible is in. Mr. Incredible sees them and shakes Squeaker harder. Chase cars close in. Mr. Incredible. Car chase. Squeaker. Chase. Squeaker, one final shake: Squeaker drops into the Old Lady's hands. Mr. Incredible raises the tree up and slams it down on the hood of the crooks' car, squashing it like a bug. Mr. Incredible tamps down the loose dirt at the base of the freshly replanted tree and smiles at his admirers]

Police Officer 1: Thank you, Mr. Incredible. You’ve done it again.

Police Officer 2: Yeah, you’re the best.

Mr. Incredible: No, I’m just here to help.

Police Radio: Attention all units. We have a tour bus robbery…

[Mr. Incredible frowns and looks at his watch. He makes a calculation, muttering to himself]

Mr. Incredible: Tour bus robbery. [He checks his watch.] I’ve still got time. Officers. Ma’am. Squeaker.

[Mr. Incredible gets into his car.]

Incrediboy: Cool! Ready for take-off!

[Mr. Incredible looks over to see a young boy in his passenger seat. He stares at the boy in confusion]

Mr. Incredible: What the…? Who are you supposed to be?

Incrediboy: Well, I'm lncrediBoy!

Mr. Incredible: What? No. You’re that kid from the fan club. [Stammering] Brophy. Brody. B-Buddy! Buddy!

Incrediboy: My name is lncrediBoy!

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

Incrediboy: 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’m your number one fan!

[Mr. Incredible coldly presses a red button that ejects him out of the car and accelerates.]

Incrediboy: Hey! Hey, wait!

Scene 3- Stopping the Train

[A trail of stolen goods scattered across a rooftop leads us to a mugger. He mutters to himself as he roots through a stolen purse, disregarding some items, stuffing others into his pockets. A tall shadow looms on the wall behind him]

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.

[The thief points his gun at Mr. Incredible]

Snatcher: Hey, look-

[Mr. Incredible closes in on him. The snatcher drops the purse and pulls a gun. Suddenly, an arm stretches and punches the snatcher's jaw. Mr. Incredible looks up and sees a dazzling masked woman in an equally dazzling suit. She smiles. If she looks familiar, it's because she is the same woman we saw earlier: Elastigirl, aka the soon-to-be Helen Parr]

Mr. Incredible: Elastigirl.

Elastigirl: Mr. Incredible.

[Elastigirl picks the thief up, and the pair begin to banter.]

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

Elastigirl: Sure, you’ve got him. I just took him out for you.

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

Elastigirl: A fact I exploited to do my job.

Mr. Incredible: My job, you mean.

Elastigirl: A simple thank you will suffice.

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

Elastigirl: Whatever happened to "ladies first"?

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

[The thief wakes up.]

Thief: [regaining consciousness] Hey, look, the lady got me first... [Elastigirl knocksout the crook with one stretched punch]

Elastigirl: Well, we could share, you know.

Mr. Incredible: I work alone.

Elastigirl: Well, I think you need to be more… [In one fluid motion she loops around his body, suddenly behind him and before he can turn, back in front again] ...flexible.

[Mr. Incredible is awestruck.]

Mr. Incredible: Are...you doing anything later?

Elastigirl: I have a previous engagement.

[She makes a little stutter step to the edge of the roof and jumps, flips, loops and stretches across the rooftops like a liquid cat, disappearing into the setting sun.

Mr. Incredible: [smiles and whistles]

[Mr. Incredible handcuffs the thief.]

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

[Mr. Incredible turns. A helicopter sweeps past, machine guns blazing back towards its pursuer. Frozone swoops down, hot on its tail, surfing a sheet of ice that materializes in his path]

Frozone: Hey, Incredible!

Mr. Incredible: Hey, Frozone!

[Frozone leaps, grabbing on to one of the chopper's skids]

Frozone: Shouldn’t you be getting ready?!

[Mr. Incredible checks his watch.]

Mr. Incredible: I still got time!

[Mr. Incredible hears a crowd screaming.]

Woman: He’s gonna jump!

[Mr. Incredible runs to the edge of the building and looks down. A large crowd is gathered on the streets below. Mr. Incredible follows their upwards gaze to the roof of a skyscraper with a man, Oliver Sansweet, who stands poised to jump, then does. Mr. Incredible quickly gauges distances, and then dives off the edge, making a spectacular leap, and tackles him in mid-air and then breaking through an enormous window on the far side, and tumbles to the floor in a shower of glass. Safe]

Sansweet: [Moans in pain] I think you broke something.

Mr. Incredible: Well, with counseling, I think you’ll come to forgive me. Wait a minute.

[He drags Sansweet to safety, and observes the building]

[His acute senses turn his attention to the hallway, toward the elevators. As he follows his ears, we become aware of a sound: a tiny series of regular beeps. Mr. Incredible locates a spot on the wall and presses one ear against it. The beeps accelerate. Mr. Incredible starts to push away and... BOOM! The hallway is filled with smoke and debris. A silhouette emerges from the newly blown hole in the wall; a tall, rangy man in a mime costume carries two stuffed duffel bags. This is Bomb Voyage. He surveys the scene with a wicked smile. A vault door is embedded into the wall directly opposite the hole. It moves aside, revealing Mr. Incredible behind it, dazed but unharmed. He sees the mime and growls]

Mr. Incredible: [coughing] Bomb Voyage...

Bomb Voyage: Monsieur Incroyable! (Mr. Incredible!)

Incrediboy: And IncrediBoy!

[The camera cuts to to IncrediBoy, striking a heroic pose in front of the previously broken window.]

Bomb Voyage: IncrediBoy?

[Incrediboy quickly flies over to Mr. Incredible and Bomb Voyage with his boots.]

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

Mr. Incredible: Go home, Buddy.

Incrediboy: What?

Mr. Incredible: Now.

Bomb Voyage: Petit mufle va! (Little oaf!)

Incrediboy: Can we talk? [He slightly pulls Mr. Incredible about a foot from their initial position.] 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... IncrediBoy!

[Bomb Voyage attempts to run away but Mr. Incredible grabs him.]

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?

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

Bomb Voyage: Oui et ta tenue est complètement ridicule! (And your outfit is totally ridiculous!)

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

[As Buddy jogs to the shattered window, Mr. Incredible sees that Voyage has clipped a small bomb onto Buddy's cape]

Mr. Incredible: Buddy, don’t!

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

Mr. Incredible: No, STOP! There’s a bomb!

[Mr. Incredible, immediantly drops Voyage,and grabs Buddy's cape just as "IncrediBoy" takes off, taking Mr. Incredible with him. Mr. Incredible and the boy rocket wildly out of control, spraying sparks in every direction, Mr. Incredible grabbing at the cape desperately for the bomb]

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

Mr. Incredible: Will you just…?! I’m trying to help! Stop!

Incrediboy: Let go of my cape!

[Mr. Incredible finally grabs hold of the bomb and flings it free. Both he and the bomb fall onto the elevated train tracks below. The bomb explodes, blowing away a large section of track. Mr. Incredible groggily looks up; A train is coming. And heading straight for the section of track that is no longer there. Mr. Incredible sets his jaw and starts running toward the oncoming train, leaping the chasm to intercept the train before it gets there. Mr. Incredible pulls up and plants himself. The expression on his face says it all: this is going to hurt. The train hits; Mr. Incredible taking the full impact. Rail ties break behind Mr. Incredible's feet, spraying in all directions as Mr. Incredible, miraculously, wrestles the train to a stop]

Scene 4- Take Incrediboy Home

[Police and paramedics have arrived, cordoning off the accident scene and treating the injured. Mr. Incredible hands Buddy over to the police]

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! [He gets shoved in.]

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

Police Officer: They’ve already picked him up.

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: incrediboy!...

Mr. Incredible: [Points at Incrediboy] You’re not affiliated with me! [His watch beeps and he checks it.] Holy smokes, I’m late. Listen, I’ve gotta be somewhere.

Police Officer: What about Bomb Voyage?

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!

[Mr. Incredible drives off.]

Scene 5- We're Superheroes, What Could Happen?

[Bob drives up to the church, his car turning back to normal. his best friend named Lucius is waiting when he enters.]

Bob: 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.]

Bob: [cracks neck] Showtime.

[Bob takes a deep breath and pushes open the chapel doors, starts walking toward his bride, a beautiful woman named Helen, who is obviously Elastigirl]

Priest: Robert Parr, will you have this woman to be your lawful 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 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. Incredible. You know that. Don’t you?

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

Bob: I do.

Priest: I pronounce this couple husband and wife.

[They kiss, as people are cheering and whistling. Gazerbeam, Stratogale, Dynaguy, Meta Man, Thunderhead, Edna 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 titled: Mr. Incredible sued.]

Announcer: In a stunning turn of events, a superhero is being sued for saving someone who, apparently, didn’t want to be saved. The plaintiff, Oliver Sansweet, who was foiled in his attempted suicide by Mr. Incredible, has filed 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 "action", so called, causes him daily pain!

[Mr. Incredible comes up and angrily points at Sansweet.]

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 piece of... [Interrupted by his lawyer]

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

Announcer: Five days later, another suit was filed by victims of the El Train accident.

[Shots of a courtroom filled with neck-braced, cast-wearing, train-wreck victims. A lawyer goes through his paces, often gesturing toward a glowering Mr. Incredible]

Announcer: Incredible’s court losses costed the government millions, and opened the flood gates for dozens of superhero lawsuits the world over.

[Another news paper titled; X Ray Pepping Tom, another Titled: $uper Damage$, A Third titled: Dynaguy Sued, showing Dynaguy in court for endangering civilians]

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

Protesters: No More Supers! No Supers! No More Supers!

[The protesters can be seen holding up signs that say “Stop hiding behind the mask!”, “Hang up the cape!”, “Go save yourself!”, and “Down with Supers!”]

Announcer: Under tremendous public pressure, and the crushing financial burden of an ever mounting series of lawsuits, the government quietly initiated the superhero relocation program. The Supers will be granted amnesty from responsibility for past actions, in exchange for the promise to never again resume hero work.

Announcer: Where are they now?

Announcer: They are living among us. Average citizens, average heroes. Quietly and anonymously continuing to make the world a better place.

Scene 6- New Life, New Job

[15 years later...]

[It’s now 15 years later and Bob is working at an insurance agency and stamps "Denied" on a frail woman (Mrs. Hogenson)'s policy claim, replacing the red X on a frail woman (Mrs. Hogenson)'s policy claim]

Mrs. Hogenson: Denied? You’re denying my claim? I don’t understand, I have full coverage.

[Her claims adjuster, Bob looks up at Mrs. Hogenson sadly. He looks familiar because it is none other than Mr. Incredible himself, now balding, sixty-four pounds heavier and dressed in a too-tight white-collar shirt sitting in an uncomfortably cramped cubicle. Mrs. Hogenson sits across from him, bewildered and crying]

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

Mrs. Hogenson: [stammering] I-I can’t pay for this.

[The phone rings.]

Bob: Excuse me. [He answers the phone] Claims, Bob Parr.

[Helen chats amiably as she bathes her infant son Jack-Jack in the sink of their airy, ranch-style kitchen. Her hairstyle has changed, her hips have widened a little, but Motherhood has agreed with her, and little else has changed from her Elastigirl days. A stack of empty moving boxes are stacked haphazardly near the door]

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. [She notices the time.] 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; crying]

Bob: [he looks out of his cubicle and above it to make sure no one's eavesdropping and then turns his attention back to Mrs. Hogenson] 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, tapping on a notepad instructing her to write this all down] Norma Wilcox, W-I-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 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.

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. [Hogenson begins to write down the information.] 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: [shushing her and peering over the top of his cubicle, looking around and shouting loudly to make sure no one is listening to the conversation] I'M SORRY, MA'AM! I KNOW YOU'RE UPSET!! [whispering] Pretend to be upset. [She walks out of the cubicle pretending to sob. His boss, Gilbert Huph, charges down towards Bob's cubicle and pushes past Mrs. Hogenson]

[Mrs. Hogenson sobs as she walks away. Mr. Huph rushes to Bob's cube.]

Mr. Huph: ..….PaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRR!

[He catches Bob off guard and angrily throws some papers at Bob's desk.]

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

Bob: [Sternly trying to explain] Someone broke into their house, Mr. Huph. [glare disappears] Their policy clearly covers....

Mr. Huph: [rudely interrupts] 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 angrily walks away and Bob sits back in his chair as his pencils fall over.]

PA Announcement: Morning break is over. Morning break is over.

Scene 7- Principal's Office

[Helen enters the principal's office and sees her son Dash hunched in a chair. Before him are two men, Dash's teacher Bernie Kropp, balding, tense, and looking older than his 36 years, and the school's principal]

Principal: I appreciate you coming down here, Mrs. Parr.

[Helen sees her son, Dash, looking guilty. She goes to sit down.]

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: [Mockingly] He says.

Bernie: [Points at him] Look, I know it's you. He puts thumb tacks on my stool.

Helen: You saw him do this?

Bernie: Well, y-...not really...no. Actually, not.

Helen: Oh! Then how do you know it was him?

Bernie: [smiling] I hid a camera. [produces a videotape. Dash gasps and looks at Helen, glaring at him] And this time I got him.

[the footage shows Bernie heading to his seat and when he's about to sit down, for a couple of frames, Dash is seen running to the seat and back to his desk, Bernie sits down, but then immediately sits up and yelps in pain]

Bernie: SEE! You see? [Helen and the principal squint in an attempt to try to see it] What, you don't see it? [sighs, and rewinds the tape] He moves! RIGHT THERE! [pauses] Wait, wait! Right... there! Right as I'm sitting down! I don't know, 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: [Pushing the hand away] Don’t "Bernie" me... [yelling in rage] THIS LITTLE RAT IS GUILTY!

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

[Bernie drops his remote, defeated. Again. Helen and Dash walk away as Dash smiles with triumph.]

Bernie: [Complaining] 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!

[Dash and Helen ride in their car to Violet's school. Violet is Helen's teenage daughter. Jack-Jack is in the backseat. Helen breaks the silence.]

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: But 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...

[At Western View Junior High, Violet stands next to the stairs outside and Tony, her crush, walks out.]

Boy: Hey, Rydinger. Where you headed?

Girl: Hi, Tony.

Tony: Hey.

Boy: Hey, Tony, can I carry your books?

Tony: That’s kind of funny.

Boy 1: Hey, Tony, do you play football?

Boy 2: Tony, I thought we were gonna go swimming.

[Tony walks by Violet, who's staring at him. Before walking away, Tony does a double take, but when he turns around, he doesn't see anyone. Confused, Tony walks away. Violet was invisible, besides her clothes. She becomes visible again when Tony is gone and sits down against the wall.]

Violet: He looked at me...

[She hears Helen's 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 skateboard. He catches himself, grabbing onto his car.]

Bob: [slowly arrives in the driveway with his grossly under-sized hatchback, opens the door, accidentally slips on a skateboard and leaves a finger crush on the door, muttering angrily] Darn kids. Sitting on the driveway. [notices his finger crush on the door] Oh, great. [attempts to shut the car door with increasing frustration. The third time he quickly throws it closed, only for the door window to crash and shatter. He loses his temper, turns red in anger and angrily lifts the car over his head, only to see a boy named Rusty McAllister on his Big Wheel staring at him. Rusty's bubblegum bubble pops. Bob puts the car down, and checks for Rusty. Bob makes his way into the house]

Scene 8- Dinner Fight

[Everyone's eating at the dinner table while Helen feeds Jack-Jack.]

Dash: Mom... You’re making weird faces again.

Helen: Mmm…No, I'm not.

Bob: You make weird faces, honey.

[Helen glares at him.]

Helen: Do you have to read at the table?

Bob: [Distracted] Uh-huh. Yeah.

[Helen spots Dash trying to take a bite out of the steak without cutting it.]

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

Dash: Ow.

[Bob comes over and cuts Dash a piece of steak.]

Helen: Dash, you have something you wanna tell your father about school?

Dash: [nervously] Uh, um, well, we dissected a frog.

Helen: Dash got sent to the office again.

Bob: [Mindlessly] Good. Good...

Helen: No, Bob, that's bad.

Bob: [Now focused on the conversation] What?

Helen: Dash got sent to the office again.

Bob: What? What for?

Dash: Nothing...!

Helen: He put a tack on the teacher’s chair... during class.

Dash: Nobody saw me. You could barely see it on the tape.

Bob: They caught you on tape and you still got away with it? [Thrilled, proud of his son] Whoa! You must have been booking! How fast do you think you were going?

Helen: [sternly] Bob! We are not encouraging this.

Bob: I’m not encouraging, I'm just asking how fast...

Helen: [suddenly alarmed] Honey!

[Bob cuts through the plate and into the table, causing it to crack and collapse. Oops.]

Bob: [grumbling] Great. First the car, now I gotta pay to fix the table...!

Helen: The car? What happened to the car?

[Frustrated, Bob stares at Helen.]

Bob: Here. I’m getting a new plate. [He gives Dash his plate and leaves, angrily.]

[Helen clears her throat to relieve the tension.]

Helen: So, how 'bout 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: [o.s] 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: [finally snaps] THAT'S IT!

[Violet jumps over the table and tackles Dash, starting a fight.]

Helen: Stop it!

Jack-Jack: [Happily laughing, believing they were playing.]

[Dash starts running around the table, hitting Violet every time he passes her. Jack-Jack continues laughing.]

Dash: You’re gonna be toast!

Helen: Stop running in the house! You sit down!

[Violet puts a force field in front of Dash to stop him, laughing.]

Dash: OW! HEY, NO FORCE FIELDS!

Violet: You started it.

[Helen then stretches her arms to grab Dash and Violet.]

Helen: You sit down! You sit down! Violet!

[Dash and Violet go under the table to fight with Helen’s arms still attached; Jack-Jack is clearly enjoying this]

Helen: Ow! Ow!

[In the kitchen, Bob grabs another plate while still reading the newspaper.]

Bob: "Simon J. Paladino, longtime advocate of superhero rights, is missing." Gazerbeam...

[Then he hears his wife calling out in a desperate tone.]

Helen: [o.s] BOB, IT'S TIME TO ENGAGE! [Back on screen] Do something! Don’t just stand there! I need you to... intervene!

Bob: You want me to intervene!? OK! I’m intervening, I'M INTERVENING! [He picks up the table with his strength and Helen, with the kids still fighting. Jack-Jack is loving the chaos.]

Helen: Dash, let go your sister! Violet, let go of your brother!

[The doorbell rings and everyone pauses. They quickly go back to their original positions, pretending nothing happened.]

Bob: [Behind the door] Get the door!

[Dash runs over to answer the door, there standing there was their old family friend, Lucius Best.]

Dash: Hey, Lucius!

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

[Dash runs back to his seat at the table while Helen quickly stops the light above the table from moving.]

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

Lucius: [Laughs at first] Ha! [Then sarcastically] 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.] Ha, ha.

Dash: Oh... I like it when it shatters.

Bob: I’ll be back later.

[Bob gets up and heads to the door, pushing Lucius along.]

Helen: Hey, where are you two going?

Bob: It’s Wednesday.

Helen: Right. Bowling night. Say hello to Honey for me, Lucius.

Lucius: Will do, love. Good night, Helen. Good night, kids...!

[Bob pushes Lucius out, closing the door. Helen looks at Dash, who smiles nervously.]

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

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

Helen: Other kids don’t have superpowers. Now, it’s perfectly normal...

Violet: Normal? What do you know about normal? What does ANYONE in this family know about normal?!

Helen: Now, wait a minute, young lady.

Violet: We ACT normal, mom! I wanna BE normal! The only normal one is Jack-Jack! And he’s not even toilet trained!!

[Jack-Jack laughs]

Dash: Lucky... [Helen and Violet glare at Dash.] Oh, I meant about being normal.

Scene 9- Burning Building

[Bob and Lucius sit in Lucius's large, comfortable sedan, which is parked in a run-down city neighborhood, reminiscing. A portable police scanner sits on the dashboard, volume low, occasionally interrupting his story]

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 in 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 was 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, come on, 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: WHOOOHOO!

[Lucius reluctantly drives forward...]

Bob: FIRE! YEEEAHHH!

[...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. They're wearing ski masks to hide their identities.]

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 can’t just go smash into walls! The building’s getting weaker by the second! It’s gonna come down on top of us!

Lucius: I WANTED TO GO BOWLING!!

[They cover themselves and the citizens as more debris fall on top of them. A pathway opens up for them too.]

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.]

Bob: YeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!

[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.]

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

Bob: Uh-oh.

[...and unknowingly trips the alarm on]

Bob: [sarcastically] Oh, good.

[Alarm sounds]

Lucius: Oh, no. That ain’t right!

[They both start arguing as the police outside spot them.]

Lucius: We look like bad guys! Incompetent bad guys!

Bob: You can get water out of the air!

[Until an officer breaks in and points his gun at them.]

Police Officer: FREEZE!

[Following orders, they both raise their hands in defeat. Lucius, noticing a water container, picks up a paper cup and begins to fill it with water.]

Police Officer: FREEZE!

Lucius: I'm thirsty.

Police Officer: I SAID FREEZE!

Lucius: I’m just getting a drink.

[He finishes the cup of water and then drops his hands to his sides.]

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

Lucius: [Holding up hands in mock surrender.] I know. I know....Freeze.

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

Police Radio: Shots fired!

[The police rush inside, pointing their guns in various directions.]

Officers: POLICE OFFICERS!

[They look around the building and only find the victims of the fire. One officer 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- The Argument

[Bob had arrived home. He picks up a piece of cake from the kitchen while humming The Incredibles theme song, 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. If you came back at all, you’d be "back later".

Bob: Well... I’m back, okay?

[Helen stretches her arm to stop him from walking away. She then picks up a little rock from Bob's jacket.]

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: [annoyed] It’s a ceremony!

Bob: [also annoyed] 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: [shouts angrily] BECAUSE HE'D BE GREAT!

Helen: [also shouts angrily and stretches herself to tower over Bob] THIS IS NOT. ABOUT. YOU!

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

Bob: Alright, Dash. I know you’re listening. Come on out.

Helen: Vi, you too, young lady.

Bob: Come on. Come on out. (Violet and Dash come out of their hiding places) 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.

[Helen walks over to the nearby lamp and turns it off.]

Scene 11-Through the Wall

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

[Bob presses his telephone message button.]

Mr. Huph: (in phone call) 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.

Bob: Now?

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 OUR 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 furiously grabs Bob by the chin and angrily 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 door knob, 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: [angrily, softly through gritted teeth] He got away...

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

[In his rage, Bob brutally grabs Mr. Huph by the throat, lifting him up and throwing him through several office walls with his strength, severely injuring him. Everybody stares at Bob in disbelief.]

Bob: Uh-oh.

Scene 12- Fired

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. [reaches and presses the elevator button] It means hundreds of thousands of taxpayer’s dollars.

Bob: I know.

Rick: We gotta pay to keep the company quiet. We gotta pay damages, erase memories, relocate your family. Every time it gets harder.

Rick: Money, money, money, money, money. W-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: Ummmm.....Listen, Bob. Maybe I could relocate you. You know, for old times’ sake.

Bob: No. I can’t do that to my family. Everyone just got settled. I’ll make it work. Thanks.

Rick: Take care of yourself.

[The doors close]

Scene 13- New Mission

[Bob gets out of the car shuts the door, in one successful try. He turns to the driveway, noticing The very same child from before, watching him.]

Bob: Well, what are you waiting for?

Rusty: [Shrugs] I don’t know...something amazing, I guess....

Bob: [Sighs dejectedly] Me too, kid...

(Cut to a cramped, windowless museum of Mr. Incredible arcana. Walls and shelves cluttered with mementos of his storied past: framed photos, newspaper front pages, magazines, and, displayed on the wall under Plexiglas, his Mr. Incredible suit. Bob enters and closes the door. He opens his briefcase, pulls out an Insuricare employee manual. He growls in frustration, and rips it in half, tossing it in the trashcan. On a roll now, he begins to angrily dump the entire contents of his briefcase into the trash when a CLUNK! is heard, Bob double-takes startled by the heavy sound)

Bob: Huh?

(Bob peers over the edge of the desk, into the trash, and sees a large manila envelope. He picks it up, and is surprised it's heavy. He opens it and pulls out a flat panel about a half-inch thick. On it is printed "This End Up". He turns the panel as instructed. In the center is a small circle with writing beneath it. Bob squints, unable to read the tiny letters. He brings it closer—his point of view: As the letters... slowly... come... into... focus)

Bob: (reading) "Hold still"...?

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

Tablet: Match: Mr. Incredible.

(Bob drops the tablet, started. It clatters to the floor, Not damaged at all. A small foot-long rod with the metal ball at the top pops out from the panel, the ball at the tip makes a quick, single revolution, scanning the surrounding room with a vertical beam)

Tablet: Room Is Secure. Commence Message.

(A woman named Mirage, appears on it)

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.

(Bob quickly gets to his pencil case and tries a pencil; one is not working and then he grabs one that works. 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...

Helen: (behind the door) Honey!

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: [yells] ONE MINUTE!!!

Mirage: If you accept, your payment will be triple your current annual salary. [Bob's jaw goes slack. He scribbles "BIG$"] Call the number on the card. Voice-matching will be used to ensure security. The supers aren’t gone, Mr. Incredible. You’re still here. You can still do great things! Or you can listen to police scanners. Your choice. You have 24 hours to respond. Think about it.

[The tablet shuts off.]

[Bob figures out what Mirage said, he sits down, letting what Mirage said to him just sink in, his smile starts to grow wider, as he looks at around his room, his past, knowing that this one chance could bring his glory days back....he then looks at his old suit]

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

Tablet: This Message Will Self-Destruct.

Bob: Uh-oh…

[Offscreen, the tablet explodes. Bob stumbles out of his 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.]

Helen: BOOOOOOOOOB!

Scene 14- Bob Tells Helen About His "Conference"

[Helen was ordering the dining table. She then walks to her 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. And 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.

Helen: What?

Bob: The, uh...

Helen: What...?

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

Helen: A conference?

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

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

Bob: [hesitating] Yes.

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

Bob: Yes.

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- Mr. Incredible Vs. the Omnidroid

(A sleek-looking Manta Jet slices the sky. Bob, clad in his old (and now too-tight) Mr. Incredible suit is on board along with Mirage. She is briefing Bob on his mission.)

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

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

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. Immediatley, Bob starts to stretch out, cracking several joints as he twists his torso and breathing exhaustingly after only bending, and the suit fits less somehat to his larger stomach (his bare gut sticks out), bouncing like a balloon filled with water (his tummy gets covered up again). He flexes and gets ready.]

Mr. Incredible: Showtime.

[He explores through the jungle, trying to find the Omnidroid; birds squawking everywhere. He sees a blade mark on a tree and a cross on the grass. Suddenly, the Omnidroid surprises 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 receives 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 a worried Mr. Incredible into the lava as he tried to push back. Not having trained for over a decade, the robot slowly overpowers him and presses Mr. Incredible closer to the lava. Just as the robot drives Mr. Incredible at the bank of the boling lake. After a few seconds however, Mr. Incredible roars while using his tremdonous, 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: AH!- ow, ow, ow. Oh, 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: O-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, while trying to get Mr. Incredible, Mr. Incredible calmly waits as the Omnidroid continues to destroy itself, and smiles knowing that his plan is working. 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.]

Mysterious Man/Syndrome: Surprising. We must bring him back. Sound the all clear, and invite him to dinner.

Scene 16- Life's Incredible Again

[Mr. Incredible exits out of a pod, and proceeds to open one of two double doors into a large dining room, with a long dining table and magma flowing all along the wall to his left. He looks at his watch, and proceeds to enter, but suddenly, the magma flow opens up as Mirage and a mysterious man come through, with the mysterious man very quietly whispering to Mirage something, while Mr. Incredible hides behind the door, while peeping through.]

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

[The mysterious man walks off, as Mirage proceeds to open both double doors, noticing Mr. Incredible pretending to have just arrived.]

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.

(With His self-esteem back, Bob returns home with renewed vigor. He bonds with his children, gets frisky with Helen, and takes pride in his new appearance. He buys a new snazzy sports car for himself, and a new car for Helen. After he says goodbye to Helen several mornings, clearly pretending to go off to the job he no longer holds at Insuricare, we see how he's actually spending his days; dropping weight and getting back into his old muscular self. The Superheroic workouts do their job; Bob is in the best shape he's been in many years, as shown in a seen were he weights himself and sees that he has lost so much weight, Bob looks at it with satisfaction.)

Scene 17- Edna Mode

(Bob's getting ready for "work" and sees a tear in his supersuit)

Bob: Ah, jeez.

Helen: (offscreen) Hurry, honey! Or you’ll be late for work!

Helen: Have a great day, honey.

Bob: Thanks.

Helen: Help customers, climb ladders...

Bob: Bring bacon?

Helen: All that jazz.

(Bob drives away. He pulls up to an imposing gate, a futuristic web of parallel laser beams. He turns toward a video screen and presses a button beneath it. The video screen lights up, revealing a burly and handsome 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--

(The guard suddenly flinches from something below camera, and is shooed offscreen by a strident, husky female voice. A pair of huge glasses fronting the top half of a head rises into the bottom half of the screen, out of focus. This is Edna Mode, a famous costume maker, for superheroes, known by her friends simply as "E.")

Edna: (shoos the guard away) Hey, get back to work! Go check the electric fence or something! (to Bob) What is it? Who are you? What do you want?

(Bob lowers his sunglasses and smiles at his old friend)

Edna: My God, you’ve gotten fat. Come in, Come, come! (Gates open)

(The gate opens, and Bob drives up the long driveway that winds up the hill to Edna's tastefully arty house.)

(Now Edna leads Bob through the tasteful, minimalistic entrance-way into her massive living room. Edna is in her early sixties, half German, half Japanese, and like both of those small countries, not to be underestimated.)

Edna: 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?

Edna: 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! Hmm. ...... But perhaps you come with a challenge, eh? I was surprised to get your call.

Bob: E, I just need a patch job.

(Bob hands Enda his damaged suit. Edna examines it, frowning.)

Edna: 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.

Edna: I see. This is a hobo suit. Darling, you can’t be seen in this![throws it away]I won’t allow it! Fifteen years ago, maybe, but now?

Bob: What do you mean? You designed it.

Edna: 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?

Edna: 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?

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

Bob: Yeah.

Edna: Heroic!

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

Edna: No capes! [She throws a paper ball at him.]

[This puzzles Bob.]

Bob: Isn’t that my decision?

[Unaccustomed to being questioned, Edna visibly stiffens.]

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

Bob: Listen, E...

(flashback — A madman aims a missile launcher at a city across a bay. Thunderhead leaps into frame, dispatches him with a single punch and turns the missile towards the open sea. His duty done, he turns and smiles at a young lady standing nearby, failing to notice that his cape has caught on the missile)

Edna: (voiceover) November 15th of ‘58. All was well, another day saved when his cape snagged on a missile fin.

(The rocket blasts into the distance, taking Thunderhead with it)

Edba: (voiceover, continued) —his cape snagged on a missile fin. His scorched remains were found several hundred miles away—

Bob: Thunderhead was not the brightest bulb...

Edna: Stratogale! April 23rd, ‘57. Cape caught in a jet turbine.

(A flash back showing Stratogale getting sucked into a jet turbine apears)

Bob: E, you can’t generalize about these things.

Edna: Meta Man, Express elevator! (We see Meta Man pushing a elevator up but then his cape gets stuck on one of the polls. Meta Man: AHH!) Dynaguy, snagged on takeoff! (We see Dynaguy trying to fly but his cape snags on the sidewalk, snapping his neck. Dynaguy: Ugh!) Splashdown, sucked into a vortex! (We see Splashdown, trying to fly away but getting sucked in said vortex, because of his cape. Splashdown: AHH-H-H-) NO CAPES! Now, go on. Your new suit will be finished before your next assignment.

Bob: You know I’m retired from hero work.

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

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

Edna: (she sighs) Fine. I will also fix the hobo suit.

Bob: You’re the best of the best, E.

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

Scene 18- Helen Gets Suspicious

(Cut to Casa de Parr where Helen, in the bedroom, plucks one of Bob's enormous shirts from a stack of freshly cleaned laundry and hangs it up in their closet, when something catches her eye: A long, PLATINUM-BLONDE HAIR (Mirage's) on Bob's suit jacket. Helen plucks it off, examining it. The phone rings. She goes to answer it, hesitating when she hears—)

Bob: (offscreen) I got it, I got it! Don’t answer it, honey, I got it! (onscreen) Hello?

Mirage: We have a new assignment for you. (Helen listens to the call) How soon can you get here?

Bob: I’ll leave tomorrow morning.

Mirage: See you there.

Bob: Goodbye.

(Bob opens the door to leave but sees Helen in the doorway.)

Helen: Who was that, honey? The, uh, office?

Bob: Another conference. (Bob works his way around Helen.) Short notice, but you know...duty calls. [nervous laugh]

(Bob gets in his car getting ready to leave.)

Helen: Bob?

Bob: Yeah, what’s up, honey?

Helen: (breathes in) 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 kisses Helen and then leaves. 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 seat belt. We’re beginning our descent.

Mirage: Hello, Mr. Incredible. Nice suit.

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.

Mr. Incredible: 2:00. Got it.

Mirage: See you there.

(At the Parr house; 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 tear in the right arm of the suit has been fixed)

Helen: [gasps] Edna...

Scene 19- Helen Calls Edna

Helen: (on the phone) I'd like to speak with Edna.

Edna: This is Edna.

Helen: E? This is Helen.

Edna: Helen who?

Helen: Helen Parr? (through teeth) You know...Elastigirl.

Edna: DAHLIIIIING! (Edna has said her words so loudly that Helen juggles with the phone and eventually drops it in surprise.) It’s been such a long time after all these years! So long!

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

Edna: Yes, yes, yes. Marvelous, isn’t it? Much better than those horrible pajamas he used to wear.

Helen: Uh...Huh?

Edna: They are finished. When are you coming to see?

Helen: Look, I’m calling about...

Edna: Don’t make me beg, darling. I won’t do it, you know.

Helen: Beg? Uh, no. (Stammering) I’m-I’m calling a beg-about suit. Ab-ab-about Bob’s suit! I’m calling about Bob’s suit!

Edna: You come in one hour, darling. I insist, okay? Okay. Goodbye. (Edna then hangs up with Helen who's a little annoyed that she hung up so quickly.)

Scene 20- Mr. Incredible and Syndrome

(Mr. Incredible enters the conference room. but absolutely No one is there. He checks the wall clock: two o'clock. He decides to enter and takes a seat at the table. There are some strange, low sounds. Then the far wall slides open, revealing the outdoors and a bigger, badder and much stronger Omnidroid, The Omnidroid V9. Bob turns to run, but the Omnidroid V9 is fast. It grabs him and flings him into the outside air. Bob sails to the edge of the jungle, landing with a thud. Before he can react, the robot has him again and slams him into the ground. A wicked voice comes over a loudspeaker.)

Syndrome: It’s bigger! (The Omnidroid throws him again) It’s badder! (And again) 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) Too much for Mr. Incredible! (Syndrome reveals himself.) Whoa, Whoa! Whoa! It’s finally ready! (He shuts down the blades of the Omnidroid.) 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: [angrily yells at Mr. Incredible] My name is not...BUDDY!

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

Syndrome: And it’s not IncrediBoy 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 at the Golden Age)

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

Syndrome (bitterly narrating 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: [sadly] 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 and the log hits the Omnidroid instead. 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 onto the ground.) It’s cool, huh? Zero-point energy. I saved the best inventions for myself. (He starts throwing Bob around with his ZPE arm.) Am I good enough NOW?! Who’s super NOW?! I’m Syndrome! Your nemesis and e-...

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

Syndrome: Oh, brilliant.

(Bob lands somewhere in the water. 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: Alright, 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 freaking out, realizing he is face to face with a skeleton. Slowly, he moves back towards the skeleton, realizing it has a very familiar costume, it's most noticeable features is that it also has an eye visor and a cape. He rubs some dirt from the emblem over the eyes: the emblem reads "GB".)

Mr. Incredible: Gazerbeam.

(The skeleton is still sitting up, and Bob is compelled to follow its gaze to the adjacent cave wall. There presumably just before dying, Gazerbeam had used his laser vision to carve a word into the rock: "KRONOS".)

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 scan of Gazerbeam's skeleton and leaves. The view cuts to the probe returning to Syndrome's wrist cuff.)

Probe: Life readings: negative. Mr. Incredible: terminated.

(Delighted, Syndrome walks away with a satisfied, evil smile, oblivious to his nemesis' survival)

Scene 21- New Suit Showcase

(Edna and Helen are walking down a hallway)

Edna: 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...

Edna: 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...

Edna: 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 turns to the wall and rapidly executes an elaborate series of security measures; punches a fifteen-digit code with her left hand, while pressing her right hand against a biometric scanner. It flashes, as she exposes her eyes to a retinal scan which causes a microphone to extend from the wall to her lips)

Edna: Edna Mode.

(In a flash: a ceiling panel opens, and out pops an enormous gun, which trains its sights on Helen, who gets in a defensive pose. Edna sees this, turns back to the microphone, adding hastily)

Edna: And guest. (The gun retreats into the ceiling.)

(The wall in front of them opens dramatically, revealing Edna's testing lab. A large, ultra-sophisticated work area, dedicated to the design, fabrication, and testing of superhero suits. E crosses to a large, raised platform mounted to a track running parallel to a glassed-in chamber, and sits in one of the two chairs facing it. Between the chairs is a small table with a fresh pot of coffee and assorted cookies. Edna motions Helen to join her)

Edna: Come. Sit. (As Helen sits down) Cream and sugar?

Helen: Thanks.

Edna: I started with the baby.

Helen: Started?

Edna: Shh! Darling! Shh! [Inside the chamber, a panel opens. A small, featureless baby mannequin in a tiny red suit (sporting the same "i" insignia as Bob's) mounted to a post emerges, tracking slowly from one end of the chamber to the other.] I cut it a little roomy for the free movement. The fabric is comfortable for sensitive skin [Helen jumps back as E continues talking. Flamethrowers throw fire at the suit without leaving burn marks] and can also withstand a temperature of over 1000 degrees. Completely bulletproof. [machine guns train on the suit and empty rounds into it without causing any damage] And machine washable, darling. That’s a new feature.

Helen: What on earth do you think the baby will be doing?!

Edna: 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: No? Well, he’ll look fabulous anyway. (The chairs quickly move back to their original spots causing Helen to almost fall off.)

(As the baby suit exits one end, the panel reopens on the other side. Another mannequin Dash's size swings into the smoky chamber; its arms and legs slowly churning in a "running" motion which gradually accelerates into a blur.)

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

(The Dash suit departs into the wall as a new suit enters. It's Violet's.)

Edna: Your daughter’s suit was tricky. But I finally created a sturdy material that will disappear completely as she does. (it briefly disappears and then reappears. Helen's suit moves into view. Robot arms enter from above and below, clamp to the sleeves of the arms and pants, and begin to pull them while twisting them) Your suit can stretch as far as you can, without injuring yourself, (the suit gets stretched) and still retain its shape. Virtually indestructible... (two missiles fire at the suit, but the suit sustains no damage) 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. (hands Helen one, showing the tracking location of one of the suits, specifically Bob's) Well, darling? What do you think?

Helen: (scoffs) 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: Well, I assumed you knew, darling. Why would he keep secrets from you?

Helen: H-he wouldn’t-didn’t-doesn’t.

Edna: Men at Robert’s age are often unstable. Prone to weakness.

Helen: What are you saying?

Edna: Do you know where he is?

Helen: Of....course-

Edna: Do you KNOW....where he is?

Scene 22- Sneaking In

[Back in Nomanisan, Mr. Incredible is hiding in brush at the top of a cliff. Along the waterline far below, a monopod streaks toward him along a track which curves around the coastline. Mr. Incredible crouches... and dives — he falls, whistling through the air until we hit a palm tree. The palm bends, slowing the Super's drop before he expertly releases it and drops into another palm directly below it. Mr. Incredible leaps onto the roof of the pod, quickly dispatching the guards inside, tossing them into the ocean. Mr. Incredible seats himself at the controls, as the pod races toward Syndrome's base and a security checkpoint. Two guards look up as they hear the monopod approach. A sparking wheel carriage arrives at the gate, its cab completely torn off and missing. Suddenly alert, the guards cock their guns and aim into the dark. They hear a distant grunt. Then the cab falls from the sky, crashing on top of the guards. They groan in pain as Mr. Incredible runs through the wrecked gate, toward the base. Mr. Incredible pulls up behind some trees. There are several guards; two at the vehicle entrance, another at the balcony above. Mr. Incredible thinks a bit, looks down and finds a coconut. With expert precision, he throws it at the balcony guard, beaning him. He falls off the balcony and hits the ground. Bullseye!]

Guard 1: Hey, hey. We got a man down!

Guard 2: Come on, let’s go. Are you OK? What happened?

[The other guards rush to help him, leaving their post. Mr. Incredible runs up to the vehicle entrance it's locked tight. Mr. Incredible sees shadows of guards approaching, he's out in the open and about to be caught when — the door suddenly sweeps up and opens, taking him with it. A medical transport comes out of the open bay, and as the door moves closed behind it, we see Mr. Incredible drop into the garage. Elevator. Mr. Incredible emerges in the dining hall and stares at the lava fall. He knows there is a secret passage behind it. He picks up a giant stone sculpture in the shape of a Moai head and readies to run into the lava fall. One... two... thr— Mr. Incredible is startled by a flash of light behind the fall; the passage is opening. He loses his balance, struggling to set the massive sculpture back into place before Mirage herself enters. Mr. Incredible rushes into the closing passage, jumps clear just as passage closes in the nick of time. A series of parallel floor lights click on. Mr. Incredible follows them to an elaborate chair in the center of the room, lit from above. Mr. Incredible sits down in the chair. A giant, curved screen lights up in front of him, with a blinking cursor in its center. Mr. Incredible types in "KRONOS". The computer screen refreshes: Bob is in, he smirks. The Computer is logged in to a menu.]

Scene 23- Terminated

[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. (Helen's eyes go wide in shock)

[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 previous 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 (destroyed) the Omnidroid v.X1]

[Macroburst - Terminated by Omnidroid v.X2]

[Phylange - 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, Bob's eyes widen in pure horror, as the sequence continues...:]

[Downburst - Terminated by Omnidroid v.X3]

[Hyper Shock - Terminated the Omnidroid v.X3]

[Hyper Shock - Terminated by the 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]

[Unknown Super - 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.]

Edna: So, you don’t know where he is. [shows a tracking device to Helen] Would you like to find out?

[Switch back to Mr. Incredible, with the sequence ended, and saddened for the deaths of his friends. 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. Horrified, Mr. Incredible retreats. Cut Back to Helen who 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 goo balls that expands after they hit him. Mr. Incredible races for the exit but is hit by sticky, expanding and pressure absorbent orbs fired from guns lining the walls, which inflate, quickly making it impossible to run. He stops twice because of the balls hitting him too much. Roaring with rage, Mr. Incredible struggles so mightily to make his escape, but becomes exhausted. He collapses in front of with Mirage who’s walking towards him.]

Scene 24- Confront the Problem!

[In E's kitchen. Coffee has been made and partially consumed. The morning paper, still rolled, rests on the table. Helen, eyes reddened from crying, blows her nose into a wadded length of toilet paper handed to her by a mildly disgusted E.]

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

Edna: Yes, he attempts to relive the past.

Helen: [crying her eyes off, voice breaking] Now I’m losing him! What’ll I do? What’ll I do?

Edna: What are you talking about?

Helen: Hmm...?

Edna: YOU ARE ELASTIGIRL!! My God! (starts smacking Helen with a newspaper) Pull! Yourself! Together! What will you do, Is...is-is this a question?!? You will show him 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, 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.

(Helen goes into her room to pack. Then, she sees Dash. Not wanting him to see the supersuits, she shut the door, then Dash ran to the window and Helen closed the curtains, then he runs to the other window and then Helen closed the curtains.)

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?

(Dash runs inside Helen's room again and takes his suit.)

Dash: Ha-ha!

Helen: Dash! You come back here this moment!

[phone rings]

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

Violet: What are these? (Holds up her supersuit)

(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! (looks in the mirror) The Dash likes this. Yeah

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 and...

Dash: (snags one of the suits) Yikes!

Helen: Dash!

Dash: (handing a suit to Violet) 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!!! [sighs]

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 25- Plane Crash

(Cut to the scene of a large jet, Helen is in the pilot seat)

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

(No response. Helen checks the instruments, confirms her course. She tries again.)

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

[radio static]

(Helen gets a bit worried, she grabs her duffel bag and zips it open, exposing the supersuit E made for her. She stares at it.)

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

(Helen mulls the explanation and decides it's ridiculous. She flips a switch putting the jet on autopilot, grabs her suit and goes into the lavatory.)

(The scene cuts Mr. Incredible being imprisoned 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!........[sighs and smile fades] And then you had to just go and....ruin the ride. I mean, Mr. Incredible calling for help? [mocking] "Help me, help me... [fakes sobbing while mocking]" Lame, lame, lame, lame, LAME! ALL RIGHT, WHO DID YOU CONTACT?!

Mr. Incredible: "Contact?" What are you talking about?

(Syndrome signals the guard, next to a strange looking panel, and presses a button, which electric cutting Mr. Incredible, Bob groans in pain while, Syndrome glares at him)

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

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

(The guard turns up the shock power, Mr. Incredible screams in pain as he is electrocuted again.)

Syndrome: And now a government plane is requesting permission to land here! WHO DID YOU CONTACT?!

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

Syndrome: Play the transmission!

(Mirage hits the spacebar on the keyboard which activates the transmission)

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

Mr. Incredible: Helen...!

Syndrome: So you do know these people. Well, then, I’ll send them a little greeting. (presses red button)

(Elastigirl emerges from the lavatory dressed in her super suit. She throws her duffel bag roughly at an apparently empty passenger seat)

Violet: Ow!

Helen: Violet?!

(Violet materializes revealing herself in her super suit)

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

(Dash reveals himself as well)

Dash: That’s not true!

Helen: Dash?!

Violet/Dash: [Violet]...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! [Dash] 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: W-wait a minute, wait a minute. You left JACK-JACK alone?!

Violet/Dash: [Violet] Yes, mom, I’m completely stupid... Of course we got a sitter! Do you think I’m totally irresponsible? Thanks a lot! [Dash] (smiles confidently) No, we got someone, Mom. Someone great. We wouldn’t do that.

Helen: All right! Well, who’d you get?

(Dash's confident smile fades, he and Violet look at each other nervously, We then cut to a scene in Casa de Parr, where teenager, Kari McKeen is on the phone talking to Helen and Jack-Jack is in his hi-chair)

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: Kari...

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

Helen: 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: Kari, I really don’t feel comfortable with this. Uh, 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? Who can handle it? Who can handle it?

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

Helen: India Golf Niner-Niner transmitting in the blind guard. Disengage! Repeat, disengage!

(The "fasten seat belts" sign above Dash and Violet lights up. They exchange glances, reach for their seat belts. But The jet suddenly dives, throwing them into the ceiling, as Helen doges the missiles)

Helen: Disengage! Repeat, disengage! Friendlies...

Mr. Incredible: [begging Syndrome] NO!! CALL OFF THE MISSILES! I'LL DO ANYTHING!!!!

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

Helen: Friendlies at two-zero miles south-southwest of your position. Angels 10. Track east. Disengage! Over! [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: I KNOW WHAT I SAID! Listen to what I’m saying NOW! Disengage. Repeat, DIS-EN-GAGE!

(Dash looks outside to see the missiles.)

Dash: Mom...?

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

(cut back to containment unit)

Mr. Incredible: NO!

Helen: [to Violet] PUT A FIELD AROUND US NOW!

Violet: [interrupts] But Mom, I’ve never done one that big before!

Helen: VIOLET, DO IT NOW!!

Helen: Abort, abort, abort!

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

Helen: Abort, ABORT, ABORT!

(The Plane explodes and Helen wraps around Violet and Dash. The three begin falling towards the ocean. Helen’s unconscious while Dash and Violet are screaming their heads off. Helen then wakes up to see her kids falling next to her. She grabs then and makes a parachute.)

Helen: Brace yourselves!

(They land safely in the water. Helen emerges to see the two kids treading water.)

Violet/Dash: Mom! Mom!

Helen: 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.]

Scene 26- Release Me or She'll be Crushed!

(Dash and Violet are freaking out)

Dash/Violet: [Dash] Oh, my gosh! Who’s idea was this anyway?! [Violet] Whatdowedowhatdowedowhatdowedo?!

Dash: WE'RE DEAD! WE'RE DEAD!

Violet: It blew up!

Dash: WE SURVIVED, BUT WE'RE DEAD!

Helen: STOP IT! (Splashes water at them) 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. But unbeknownst to him, Bob grows absolutely berserk.)

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

Mr. Incredible: RELEASE ME. NOW!

Syndrome: Or what?

Mr. Incredible: I’ll crush her...

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

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

Syndrome: (chuckles) Show me.

(As Syndrome eagerly waits, Bob slowly loses his will, as he can't bring him self to do it. 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 his family is dead.)

Helen: 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: If it means land, yes.

Violet: Do you expect us to swim there?

Helen: I expect you...... to trust me.

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

Scene 27- On the Island

(The three make it to shore)

Helen: What a trooper...I’m so proud of you.

Dash: Thanks, mom.

(Cuts to the cave)

Helen: I think...your father is in trouble.

Violet: If you haven’t noticed, 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: 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: 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.

(Helen runs out of the cave. Then, Violet catches up to her.)

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: 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. If the time comes, you’ll know what to do. It’s in your blood.

(Helen runs off, as Violet stands there. She then puts her mask on.)

(Cut to Mirage)

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 a 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.

(She leaves, leaving Syndrome confused, and furious)

Scene 28- Elastigirl Sneaks In

(Elastigirl finds a way to sneak into the layer, when she spots the monorail.)

Elastigirl: Okay, okay, okay.

(She jumps us and grabs one of the cars. Then she jumps on top of it, and then hangs off the side. She sees where the drones are parked before going into a tunnel. There’s an opening in the tunnel showing a rocket, then closes again. Elastigirl turns into a parachute to slow down before getting off. She almost got hit by another car but moved out of the way just in time. She walks back to look at the rocket again.)

[voices on radio]

Elastigirl: A rocket?

(Soon, she gets into a hallway with 2 guards guarding it, but she’s hiding on the ceiling. She passes a mirror and looks at her big butt with it. Then, one guard comes in and walks through the hallway. Elastigirl hid on the other side of a doorway before the guard walks past. As the guard gets his key card out to open another door, Elastigirl backs up a bit and gets her leg stuck in the door behind her. The guard opens the door and Elastigirl tries to get his key card. She was about to get the key card until the second door closed, making her body get stuck. As the guard goes into an elevator, another in it notices her.)

Guard: Hey!

(Elastigirl punches both guards and one got knocked out before the other one closed the elevator door. She feels around for a bit until she feels the guard’s face. She knocks him out too. Soon, a guard comes up to where Elastigirl’s leg was stuck. Then, a car with 2 guards came through the hallway where Elastigirl’s body was stretched and both of them fell off. They both point their guns at her. Then the guard at Elastigirl’s leg touched it, and she kicked him, causing him to go unconscious and for the gun to shoot rapidly. A bullet hit the key card scanner and opened the door. Elastigirl’s waist hit the other two guards, causing them to go unconscious. She grabbed the key card from the guard in the elevator and opened the elevator door, and opened the door she was stuck in. She soon hid the bodies in a compartment in the wall.)

Scene 29- Getting Out of the Cave

(Violet's trying to practice using her force field while Dash gets bored.)

Dash: Well, not that this isn’t fun, but I’m gonna go look around. (grabs a stick with fire on it.)

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!

(The guards and Syndrome are almost ready to launch the rocket. Then, Dash steps on some metal)

Dash: [echoing] Cool! (shouting) COOL!

(Syndrome presses a button and the rocket launches. Dash sees the fire from the rocket and runs back to Violet.)

Dash: [echoing] VI! VI! VI! VI! VI! VI!

Violet: What did you do!?

(Dash grabs Violet's hand and gets her out of the cave. After they get out, they see the rocket launching.)(Elastigirl is on the top of a room and stretches her neck to see what the monitors say.)

Elastigirl: [gasps] Bob....

(She retracts her neck just before the guards hear what she said.)

Guard 1: Huh? What?

Guard 2: Uh, I didn’t say anything.

Scene 30- Freeing Mr. Incredible

[It is the following morning. Dash awakens, discovering to his horror that he's curled up with Violet. Repulsed, he jumps up and shudders. then Dash looks around in awe at the beautiful jungles surrounding him, but is interrupted by what seems to be a blue macaw behind him.)

Blue Macaw: Identification, please.

Dash: Hey!

(Dash proceeds to try waking Violet up, to get her attention on the macaw.)

Dash: Hey, Violet! Come here, look.

Violet: What...?

Dash: It talks!

Violet: ...What?

Dash: There, that one.

Robot: Voice key incorrect.

Violet: Voice key?

Robot: Voice key incorrect.

Violet: (realizing that something's not right) Wait a second...

(The bird's head slowly swivels toward the kids with a soft computing sound. Its eyes light up red as its beak drops open, and it lets out a shrill electronic alarm, so loud that Dash and Violet cover their ears. Violet backs away from the shrieking bird, Dash following after her, panicking.)

Dash: Wha-What do we do?!

Violet: Run!

Dash: Where are we going?!

Violet: Away from here!

P.A.: Intruder alert. Intruder alert. Intruder alert.

(Meanwhile back in the interrogation room, Bob hangs, absolutely defeated, in the suspension beams. The cell door slides open. A figure is silhouetted there — Mirage. She switches off the suspension ray. Bob drops to the floor. Bob just sits there on his knees, his eyes cast downward. Mirage crosses to him, kneels down—)

Mirage: There isn’t much time.

(-Only for Mr. Incredible to suddenly grab her by the throat and strangling her, lifting her up, enraged.)

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

Mirage: [choking] ..Please.....

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

Mirage: [choking] ...The... family..... survived... th..... 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 in gratitude, Mirage drinks it in, then reacts at the sight of a figure in the doorway. Bob looks up]

Mirage: Oh, hello. You must be Mrs. Incre-- [Elastigirl punches her causing her to get knocked out before she could finish her sentence, 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 arm and pulls her closer to him.]

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.

Elastigirl: What?!

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

Elastigirl: Now our kids are in danger?!

Mr. Incredible: If you suspected danger, why’d you bring them?

Elastigirl: I didn’t bring ‘em, they stowed away. And I don’t think you’re striking the proper tone here!

Scene 31- Escaping the Guards

[cut to a scene, Violet and Dash continue running.]

Guard: Think they’re supers?

Violet: Dash, remember what Mom said.

Dash: What?

Guard 2: Hey! Stop talking!

Guard 3: Hold it! Freeze!

(Violet disappears)

Violet: Dash, run!

Dash: What?

Violet: Run!

Dash: Oh yeah! (he bolts away)

Guard: What the--?! They’re supers!

Guard 2: Get the boy! (the other guards get in their blade jets and start chasing after Dash while the other stays behind, pointing his gun trying to find Violet) Show yourself!

(Dash blasts through the forest on foot, unbelievably fast, a manned Velocipod hot on his tail. But the terrain is dense, uneven and difficult, and Dash is forced to adhere to the thin trail winding through the growth. A swarm of flies fusses in the air. Suddenly Dash bursts into view, smashing into them, causing him to stumble, for a couple seconds)

Dash: ACH!

(He then starts spitting out the bugs in disgust.)

Dash: Achpppt!! PtTHWAAAGH! PTHPT!

(A Velocipod bursts out of the brush after him and he takes off, tearing through the jungle. Running fast, Dash grabs a long vine — which sends him out in a wide arc that surprises the trailing guard. He shoots past Dash and roars off into the undergrowth. Dash releases the vine, tumbling roughly to his feet, and runs. A Velocipod bursts out of the brush and is on top of him. Impossibly, Dash accelerates, staying just ahead of it. He sees another vine, grabs it and is propelled upwards. Dash explodes out of the canopy, flailing, out of control. He looks down and sees — the treetops suddenly drop away. Dash is falling off a cliff, screaming his ten-year-old lungs out as he lands on a Velocipod.)

(Fleetingly astonished by his good luck, Dash looks up as the startled guard whirls around to face him.)

Guard: Hey!

(The guard swings. Dash ducks and reluctantly throws a punch at the guard's face. Bam! It lands! Thrilled that his raw speed renders the guard powerless to dodge or return his punches, Dash laughs and, growing more confident with each punch, rapidly decks the guard again and again)

Dash: Ha, ha!

(Blissfully unaware that no one is driving. Dash looks up. His jaw drops: a rock wall looms ahead. Dash points at it. The guard sees an opening and socks Dash in the face, knocking him off just then he turns around and then screams in horror as the Velocipod slams into the cliff face, vaporizing in a fireball, killing the guard)

(Dash lands back into the trees of the jungle, clinging onto a vine to save himself)

Dash: I’m alive. Yeah! Woooo!

(This alerts two guards on Velocipods nearby to his presence)

Dash: Uh-oh.

(He runs off again. The chase continues. Dash lands on a tree and back onto the ground as one blade jet cut the tree in half, while the other crashes into the stump. The blade jet keeps chasing Dash until it tumbles before exploding. Dash smiles in triumph until he notice more guards on each side of him. He then sees that he is headed for a lake. He braces himself as he think he's gonna fall in the water, but then he opens his eyes to see he is running on the water.)

Dash: (smiles) hehehe! (starts running faster)

(The guards fire their guns but Dash dodges their bullets and goes into a cave. Dash goes over the guard that's chasing him in the cave and heads towards the exit. However, just as he was about to head out, another guard block the way. Dash gasps as he stops and goes the way. He then stops when the guard in the cave is still chasing him and goes the other way. He then stops and then plummets into the water as the guards crash into each other from above.)

Scene 32- The Incredibles Reunite

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

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

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.

(Violet hits him with a stick. The guard falls down but makes Violet fall over. Violet runs away and goes invisible, she goes into a small pond as the guard tries to shoot her.)

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 comes running.)

Dash: HEY! (knocking the guard's gun barrel skyward as it fires. The guard swings around — strafing the ground at Dash's heels as he plunges back into the jungle. A splash explodes from the river as invisible Violet makes a break for it. The guard sees this and swings the gun toward her as — Dash blasts out of the jungle and knocks the Guard's legs out from under him. They tumble and scrap, Dash redeeming his lack of size with lightning-fast punches and faints.] Don't touch! my! sister!

(Disoriented, the guard swings and connects — knocking Dash off his feet. He tumbles backward, dazed. The guard shoulders his rifle, leveling it at Dash. Dash looks up; sees he's screwed. The guard grins wickedly and pulls the trigger — Violet suddenly appears in mid-air, diving in front of Dash as she throws a force field around them! A hail of bullets ricochet off the force field.)

Dash: How are you doing that?!

Violet: I don’t know!

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

(Cut to Elastigirl and Mr. Incredible. They both soon get run over by Violet's force-field.)

Violet: Mom! Dad! Hey!

(The force-field disappears)

Mr. Incredible: Kids! You’re all right.

Elastigirl: Oh, you’re all right!

Violet: We were so worried about you!

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

(There is a frantic, joyful exchange of hugs, unfortunately cut short when — Velocipods explode out of the foliage! The Parrs instantly jump to their feet: Helen throws a stretched scissor kick which catches a guard in the chest, knocking him out of his V-pod. Bob waits for the right moment and then punches a second passing Velocipod down, it plows straight into the soft jungle floor. Before its pilot can react — Helen's arm is coiled around him. She yanks him from the vehicle, whiplashing him into another guard, knocking them both out cold. Bob grabs the crashed V-pod and Frisbees it into a V-pod from the trees - boom! And it's over. Bob and Helen had forgotten how good they were. They exchange lustful glances.)

Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl: Aww, I love you.

Dash: Wow.

Violet: Whoa.

(Suddenly the jungle is filled with guards and V-pods. And just as quickly the Incredibles turn as one against them, a hurricane blur of superpowers, suddenly brought to a crashing halt — as ZPE rays strike the Incredibles, suspending them all, motionless, in mid-air, in a clearing.)

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) You married Elastigirl? Whoa!!! Oh! And got BUSY!!! It’s a whole family of supers! Looks like I’ve hit the jackpot! Oh-ho, this is just too good!

Scene 33- Syndrome's Plan

(Back in Syndrome's lair, on a giant screen, network news footage of a crowd gathered around a smoldering hulk resting at the base of a large building. The TV channel changes. Another reporter is covering the same story. Camera widens: Syndrome is delightedly channel surfing with a remote control of his own invention.)

News reporter on TV: The ship’s unique design suggests...

News reporter 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!

Syndrome: 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!

Mr. Incredible: You mean, you killed off real Supers 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]

Scene 34- Mr. Incredible's Speech

Soldier: Take cover!

[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?

Elastigirl: Shh. Don’t interrupt.

(Violet uses her force-field 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, 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.

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

Mr. Incredible: Where are all the guards?

(The guards are all holed up in a command vehicle, watching the Omnidroid reports on TV.)

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

Guard 2: Yeah, okay.

(The guards watch live coverage of the Omnidroid attack on a video monitor. Champagne is popped: the cork is unexpectedly caught by someone standing in the doorway — Mr. Incredible)

(The vehicle rocks as Bob quickly takes out the guards within. In moments Bob emerges, whistles to his family that the coast is clear.)

Elastigirl: This is the right hangar, but I don’t see any jets.

Mr. Incredible: A jet’s not fast enough.

Elastigirl: What’s faster than a jet?

Dash: Hey, how about a rocket?

Elastigirl: Great! I can’t fly a rocket.

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

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

Mirage: Say "please".

Scene 35- Where's my Super Suit!?!

(The stereo plays soft jazz as Lucius (aka Frozone) dresses for dinner. He slaps some aftershave on his face, checking his look in the mirror. A low series of booms grows louder, causing him to look up to see the Omnidroid outside his apartment wreaking havoc on Municiberg; a military chopper battling it with machine-gun fire. He runs toward a remote, with reveals, a secret compartment, where his supersuit is. it's messing.)

Lucius: Honeyyy?

Honey: (offscreen) What?

Lucius: Where’s my supersuit?

Honey: What?!

Lucius: WHERE! IS! MY! SUPER! SUIT?!

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

(In the background, The Omnidroid shoots the helicopter, and then the helicopter crashes, exploding.)

Lucius: Where?

Honey: Why do you need to know?!

Lucius: I NEED IT!

(Lucius starts running, down the hallway, going in and out of view, frantically searching his rooms and closets.)

Honey: 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: My evening’s in danger!

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

Honey: "GREATER GOOD"?! I AM YOUR WIFE! I'M THE GREATEST GOOD YOU ARE EVER GONNA GET!

Scene 36- Out of Control Omnidroid

(Cut back to the Omnidroid destroying the city. The driver of a gasoline tanker truck screeches to a halt, his eyes bugging out at the rampaging Omnidroid)

Man: RUN!

(The driver jumps from the truck just as the Omnidroid seizes the tanker in a giant claw and flings it down the street. A young mother sees it arcing toward her baby carriage.)

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 carelessly flings the tanker truck behind him with a flourish, completely obvious of how he could of hurt somebody. It explodes, frightening the crowd. The Omnidroid moves towards him.) All right, stand back! (He starts ''fighting'' his own Omnidroid) 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.)

[Putting on a good show, Syndrome flies around the idling bot, and delivers a punch to one of its leg sockets.]

OMNIDROID'S P.O.V.: Technical readouts spray across its viewscreen as it confirms Syndrome's instructions: RESTRAIN BATTLE MODE. DETACH ARM AT SIGNAL.

Syndrome: Ha, ha!

(On cue, one of the Omnidroid's limbs suddenly falls out of its socket, thudding uselessly to the ground. As Syndrome revels in the cheers of the crowd, we push in on the Omnidroid. It's watching Syndrome. And thinking — OMNIDROID'S P.O.V.: Technical readouts spray across its viewscreen as it analyzes: CONTROL STOLEN BY EXTERNAL SIGNAL.)

LOCATE SOURCE: EXTERNAL SIGNAL

(Columns of numbers are crunched. The Omnidroid's lens-eye zooms in on the control bands around Syndrome's wrist — SIGNAL SOURCE: REMOTE CONTROL — and comes to a logical conclusion: OVERRIDE EXTERNAL CONTROL

DESTROY REMOTE CONTROL

(The Omnidroid fires a precise laser shot, blasting the remote right off Syndrome's wrist. It clatters to the street. Syndrome whirls around in horror as the bot goes after him. He flies out of control, and he crashes onto a building. He lands, tries to get up and falls unconscious soon after.)

Scene 37- Back to the City

(High above the earth another rocket, identical to the first one, descends from the clouds. Again, it separates into quarters which fall away, revealing the landing craft inside and only then do we notice what's different about it: in the center of the large, perfectly round hole designed to house the Omnidroid is the command vehicle, precariously held in place by a very stretched, very stressed Helen. Inside the command vehicle Bob is at the wheel, Vi and Dash are seated at a small table in the back.)

Dash: Are we there yet?

Mr. Incredible: We get there when we get there!!

(He opens the window; to Helen, who is suspended from the Omnidroid's lander, clutching its sides and holding the van in place as loose debris is scattered everywhere.)

Mr. Incredible: HOW YOU DOING, HONEY?

Elastigirl: DO I HAVE TO ANSWER?!

(The giant wing is descending, gliding closer to the water, as the city looms closer directly ahead.)

Mr. Incredible: Kids, strap yourselves down like I told you!

(Violet and Dash move to the seats at the monitor panels, belting themselves in. Bob opens his window, yells up to Helen)

Mr. Incredible: Here we go, honey! Ready, Violet? (Violet holds a hand over a giant, jerry-rigged release switch.) Ready? NOW!!

(The explosive bolts fire, separating the wing. Helen lets go with a pained shout, swings inside through the window. Bob steps on the gas. The command vehicle wheels spin. Bob tenses as he watches the speedometer move past 110, 120, 130.)

Elastigirl: AAAGGH!

(She climbs in.)

Mr. Incredible: This is gonna be rough!

(The command vehicle sails over an overpass, clipping a light pole, and crashes to the pavement in a shower of sparks. It flies down the street at 200 MPH. Fighting to keep control, Mr. Incredible hits the brakes. Smoke erupts from the wheel wells.)

Mr. Incredible: The robot’s in the financial district. Which exit do I take?

Elastigirl: Traction Avenue.

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

(Mr. Incredible cranks the wheel and cuts across several lanes toward the Seventh Street exit.)

Elastigirl: DON’T TAKE SEVENTH!

[Mr. Incredible aborts the exit, swerving hard to avoid a collision.]

Mr. Incredible: Great, we missed it!

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

Mr. Incredible: That’ll take me downtown!

Elastigirl: It’s coming up! GET IN THE RIGHT LANE! TAKE THE RIGHT LANE!

Mr. Incredible: WE DON’T EXIT AT TRACTION!

Elastigirl: YOU'RE NOT GONNA MISS IT!

Mr. Incredible: AAAHHHHH!!!

(The command vehicle takes a violent swerve across six lanes, barely making the off-ramp. Sparks spray as the vehicle slams into the guardrail. The command vehicle careens off the railing and into traffic, narrowly missing a semi. Horns blare. Bob's teeth clench as he fights to slow the vehicle down. He stomps both feet on the brakes. Its tires smoking, the command vehicle pulls sideways and loses it, tumbling down the center of the street, spraying metal pieces in its wake. It rolls into an open parking space, and lands miraculously upright, stripped like an ear of eaten corn. A more perfect parallel park couldn't have been executed. Bob and Helen sit up woozily. Bob turns to Dash and Violet.)

Mr. Incredible: Is everybody okay back there?

Violet: Super-duper, Dad!

Dash: [laughing] Let’s do that again.

(Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl see the Omidroid.)

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

[Mr. Increadible grimly starts after the Omnidroid. Helen stretches an arm out and grabs his shoulder, spinning him around.]

Elastigirl: While what? I watch helplessly from the sidelines? I don’t think so.

Mr. Incredible: I’m asking you to wait with the kids.

Elastigirl: And I’m telling you not a chance. You’re my husband. I’m with you, for better or worse.

Mr. Incredible: I have to do this alone!

Elastigirl: What is this to you? Playtime?

Mr. Incredible: No.

Elastigirl: So you can be Mr. Incredible again?

Mr. Incredible: No!

Elastigirl: Then what? What is it?

Mr. Incredible: I’m not...

Elastigirl: Not what?

Mr. Incredible: I-I’m not strong enough.

Elastigirl: Strong enough. And this will make you stronger?

Mr. Incredible: Yes--No!

Elastigirl: That’s what this is? Some sort of workout!?

Mr. Incredible: I CAN'T LOSE YOU AGAIN! (grabs Elastigirl by the shoulders, as he says it) I can't. Not again. I’m not.......strong enough.

(Helen searches Bob's eyes, deeply touched. She throws her arms around him, kissing him.)

Elastigirl: If we work together, you won’t have to be.

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

Elastigirl: Hey. We’re superheroes. What can happen?

Scene 38- The Incredibles Vs. the Omnidroid

(Suddenly Violet screams. She and Dash jump clear just as the command vehicle is crushed by the Omnidroid's metal foot. The Incredibles run. Another Omnidroid foot smashes into the street, blocking the kids' way. Bob and Helen stop, whirling)

Elastigirl: VI!! DASH!! NO!!!!

(The Omnidroid tries to crush the kids, but Violet made a force field around them. The Omnidroid draws itself up and drops the entirety of its massive bulk slams into the force field knocking Violet unconscious. Her force field flickers out)

Dash: Violet?

(Again, the Omnidroid draws itself up to deliver the crushing blow. Dash cringes while the bot drops and hits an obstacle halfway down. Dash looks up)

Dash: Dad!

(Mr. Incredible is underneath the bot, on his back, his arms and legs straining under the weight of it, keeping it from crushing his son.)

Mr. Incredible: Go, go!

(Elastigirl grabs Violet while she and Dash run to a safe place. Straining, Bob lifts the Omnidroid enough to get his feet underneath it. The bot snatches Mr. Incredible out from underneath and flings him at a building across the street. The windows of the nearby building shatter as Mr. Incredible's body tumbles across the floor, scattering desks and chairs. Helen rounds a corner out of the Omnidroid's view and carefully sets Violet down. She looks at Dash and Vi.)

Violet: I’m okay, mom. Really.

Elastigirl: Stay here, okay?

(Helen turns away, charging back toward the robot. Vi and Dash watch their fearless mother in amazement.)

(as the Omnidroid pulls itself up the building to look for Mr. Incredible. Mr. Incredible charges at the Omnidroid, hitting it with enough force to dislodge it from the building. It falls, crashing into the street with an earth-shattering boom. Mr. Incredible falls with it but rolls and lands on his feet. The familiar sound of cracking ice causes Mr. Incredible to look up)

Mr. Incredible: Frozone! Yeah!

(A narrow sheet of ice streaks across the pavement and Frozone skates past, joining the fight. Following Frozone , He moves to the Omnidroid, expertly icing its joints as it tries to get up. The Omnidroid whines as its motors strain against the ice. Further down the street, Elastigirl rushes up to Mr. Incredible)

Elastigirl: Bob!

(Just then Frozone sails into frame and crashes into the roof of a parked car. Bob turns angrily toward the Omnidroid)

Mr. Incredible: Hey!

(The Omnidroid smacks Mr. Incredible, sending him flying into the side of a building and tumbles to the street. The Omnidroid tries to crush Elastigirl but she jumps out of the way. She stretches to the side of a building and avoids the Omnidroid's claw. Then, Frozone tries to freeze the claw in the building but it frees itself. As Elastigirl avoids the lasers, Dazed, Mr. Incredible looks up and sees a strange device on the ground in front of him. He examines it, his eyes widening when he realizes what it is. He holds it up, yelling excitedly to the others)

Mr. Incredible: SYNDROME’S REMOTE! (notices the Omnidroid, looking at him) uh oh..,

(The Omnidroid comes down on Mr. Incredible, lifting him high above the ground. Miraculously, Mr. Incredible has held on to the remote, and he quickly stabs at the buttons, hoping to get lucky. With a boom, one of the bot's limbs releases, sending it and Mr. Incredible crashing to the ground)

Violet: The remote controls the robot!

(The Omnidroid knows this too, and it fires laser blasts at Mr. Incredible to try to stop Bob from using the remote. The superhero jumps clear, then hears Dash from down the street.)

Dash: Hey, dad! Throw it! Throw it!

Mr. Incredible: Go long!

(Mr. Incredible gives the remote a good throw, flinging it high into the air and across the river. Dash takes off after it, like a olympic runner. The Omnidroid sees Dash and starts firing it's lasers after him. With Dash as he hits the water, jetting across the water's surface as the Omnidroid fires away. The water explodes around Dash, but he concentrates on the remote, following it into his hands like an NFL receiver)

Dash: Got it!

(Dash crosses the river and hits the streets on the other side, seemingly home free. But the Omnidroid is still firing, and it hits some cars in Dash's path, igniting their gas tanks. Suddenly Dash is surrounded by a wall of flames. Mr. Incredible runs toward Helen, who is closer to the Omnidroid.)

(Cuts to Mr. Incredible)

Mr. Incredible: Honey, take out its guns!

(Elastigirl hears him. She grabs a heavy sewer lid winding her elastic arm around a light pole to fling it like an arrow at the Omnidroid's gun. Bullseye, the lid rips the laser gun in half. What follows amounts to a game of hot potato between the Supers and the Omnidroid over the remote.

Frozone: Dash! Gotcha! (Frozone grabs Dash)

(The Omnidroid sees that Dash has the remote and turns into a ball to rolls over to them. Frozone creates an ice path over the lake and stakes across it to escape the Omnidroid. The Omnidroid jumps, almost on top of them, creating a massive wave and throwing Dash and Frozone high into the air. Thinking fast, Frozone turns the wave into a wall of snow. It crashes over the streets, cushioning their fall. The remote clatters to the ground. Mr. Incredible sees it and starts running towards it, The Omnidroid sees Bob and fires a claw catching Bob just as he was reaching for the remote. The claw with Mr. Incredible inside tumbles end over end down the street. With Bob out of the way, the Omnidroid heads for the remote. Frozone ices the Omnidroid's path, causing its metal feet to slip and slide. Helen runs ahead of the Omnidroid, stretching herself into a tripwire across the stumbling Omnidroid's path. It crashes to the street. The Omnidroid looks up. The remote lies on the street just in front of it, easily within its grasp. The Omnidroid reaches out with a claw to destroy the remote. The remote magically jumps clear. The Omnidroid tries again, and again the remote darts away. Riled now, it rears up and stabs wildly at the remote with all of its arms. We hear Violet scream, as the remote repeatedly eludes the Omnidroid's grasp: finally tangling its legs so badly that it topples over. Violet reappears, running back to rejoin the group in the middle of the street.)

Frozone: (off screen) Violet!

Violet: Mom, I’ve got it! I’ve got the remote!

(The Omnidroid gets up.)

Frozone: A remote? A remote that controls what?

(Violet begins to fiddle with the remote's click-wheel, pressing its buttons to no effect. The Omnidroid has gotten to its feet and lunges toward them. Violet screams and presses the button one last time. Rockets fire underneath the Omnidroid's clawed feet, lifting the enormous machine into the air.)

Frozone: The robot?!

(The Omnidroid flies past them and crashes into a building. Meanwhile, Mr. Incredible is trying to free himself from the claw. Then, the Omnidroid gets back up.)

Dash: It’s coming back!

(Dash snatches the remote from Violet, aims it at the Omnidroid, spins the click-wheel and presses a button. Behind Dash (and unseen by all) the claws on the Omnidroid's detached arm spring open flinging Mr. Incredible into the air.)

Dash: That wasn’t right.

Violet: Give me that! (Takes remote back)

Mr. Incredible: We can’t stop it. The only thing hard enough to penetrate it is...(A thought hits him. Remembering the first fight he had with the Omnidroid in the jungle, lava and volcano, he turns, staring at the metal claw)...itself.

Dash: It’s getting closer!

(Mr. Incredible picks up the claw)

Violet: It doesn’t work!

Elastigirl: Kids!

(Violet presses a button that turned on the rockets on the claw Mr. Incredible was holding. The force of the rocket was pulling Mr. Incredible, around.)

(Elastigirl takes the remote.)

Frozone: It’s not doing anything!

Elastigirl: Lucius, try to buy us some time!

Frozone: Try the one next to it!

(Lucius takes off, throwing ice and skating down the street toward the approaching Omnidroid. He jumps off an ice ramp, his skates converting into a circular ski-disc in mid-air. He lands, throwing a massive ice wall in front of the Omnidroid.)

Mr. Incredible: Honey!

(With Mr. Incredible as he closes the claw into a massive arrowhead and starts charging down the street. With Helen and the kids, Helen dials the click-wheel on the remote and presses one of the buttons. The back of the claw suddenly fires a rocket engine. Mr. Incredible veers crazily, trying to control it. Helen presses the button again. Now close to the group, Bob's claw rocket switches off. Mr. Incredible gets an idea)

Mr. Incredible: Wait a minute. PRESS THAT BUTTON AGAIN!

(Elastigirl presses a button that makes the claw spin.)

Mr. Incredible: NO, THE OTHER ONE! THE-THE FIRST ONE!

Elastigirl: First button... Got it!

(The Omnidroid starts breaking through the first ice wall and pounding away at a second one. Though Frozone's giving it all he's got, the Omnidroid's starting to break through.)

Dash: It’s getting closer!

Frozone: LOOK OUT!

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

Violet: We’re not going anywhere!

Mr. Incredible: PRESS THE BUTTON!!

Elastigirl: Not yet!

Frozone: HELEN!

Mr. Incredible: WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!

Elastigirl: A CLOSER TARGET! YOU GOT ONE SHOT!

(The Omnidroid shatters the ice wall Frozone put up, it's almost on top of them. Elastigirl presses the button. The claw-rocket fires. Mr. Incredible aims it directly at the Omnidroid's metal underbelly—)

Mr. Incredible: EVERYBODY, DUCK!

(—and releases it. The giant metal claw roars overhead and drills clean through the Omnidroid's body, coming out the other side embedded in the CPU. For a long moment nothing happens. Then the gargantuan machine keels over and explodes. It's over. The family looks at each other, stunned)

Mr. Incredible: Hey, Zone.

(Frozone starts to chuckle. Mr. Incredible smiles as he looks at his super family. It feels like his best memories... but better. The seemingly empty city begins to come to life, as people emerge from their hiding places, converging in the street. People begin to spontaneously cheer for our heroes, welcoming the Supers' return. Syndrome comes as well. Looks over the edge to the streets below to find the battle over and the masses cheering, not for him, but for the group of Supers. He darkens)

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.

Frozone: Ha-ha! Just like old times!

Mr. Incredible: Just like old times. [gives Frozone a heavy pat on the back]

Frozone: Oh! Yeah. Hurt then too. Ow.

Scene 39- Getting the Baby

(A long, black limo cruises down the street. Mr. Incredible sits proudly with his family as Rick Dicker debriefs them. Everyone is enjoying the moment, save for Elastigirl, who has already clicked back into "mother mode" and is using the car phone to get messages)

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

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.

(Elastigirl's trying to hear the messages on the phone from Kari while Dash is rolling the window up and down.)

Kari: (on phone recording) Hi, this is Kari. I have a question about Jack-Jack...

Elastigirl: (to Dash) Come on. We’re in a limo.

Mr. Incredible: Hey, you’re wearing your hair back?

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

Mr. Incredible: It looks good.

Violet: Thanks, Dad.

Dash: That was so cool when you threw that car!

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!

Elastigirl: Honey, uh, yeah, I’m trying to listen to messages, honey.

Kari: [beeps; over phone] Mrs. Parr, it’s me. Jack-Jack is fine, but weird things are happening. (Elastigirl cuts to a different message) Jack-Jack’s still fine, but I’m getting really weird-ed out! AH! When are you coming back?

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

(Elastigirl cuts to a different message, Jack-Jack started crying on phone recording)

Kari: (beeps; over phone) I'm not fine, Mrs. Parr! Put that down! Stop it! You need to call me. I need help, Mrs. Parr!

Elastigirl: Bob, listen to this.

Kari: (over phone) I'm gonna call the police... (Next message calmly) Hi, this is Kari. Sorry for freakin' out, but your baby has special needs.

Mr. Incredible: "Special needs"?

Rick: (in the background) Here we are.

Kari: Anyway, thanks for sending a replacement sitter.

Elastigirl: Replacement? I didn’t call for a replacement!

(Bob's eyes widen. He and Helen jump from the limo, followed by the kids. They cross the lawn and burst through the front door to reveal — Syndrome who spins, hitting the family with his Zero-point energy ray. Cradling a sleeping Jack-Jack in his arms, he grins.)

Syndrome: Shhhhh......The baby is sleeping. (he chuckles wickedly) 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!

(Syndrome flings the family into the bookcase. He points his power band toward the roof and blows a huge hole in it, revealing his Manta Jet hovering high above. Syndrome fires his jet-boots and takes off toward the jet.)

Elastigirl: He’s getting away, Bob! We have to do something! We have to do something now!!!

(Jack-Jack awakens to the sight of his family and home receding beneath him. He cries, reaching out for them. Syndrome nears the Manta Jet. Jack-Jack's crying turns angry, and he suddenly bursts into flames. Syndrome screans. Jack-Jack's fire goes out, revealing that the baby has turned to metal. Syndrome drops with the sudden weight. His jet-boots compensate, but Syndrome is struggling to stay aloft. The baby's flesh reverts to normal, but the baby begins to vibrate fiercely. Syndrome can barely keep hold of him)

Elastigirl: Something’s happening! What’s happening?!

(The vibrating baby begins to redden, transforming abruptly into a mini demon. The Jack-Jack monster throws a headlock around Syndrome, laughing maniacally and starts to rip apart Syndrome's Jet-boots)

Elastigirl: We have to stop him! Throw something!!

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

(Jack-Jack goes to Syndrome's feet.)

Elastigirl: (to herself) Throw me.

(Jack-Jack rips a valve from Syndrome's jet-boots, which propels him upward, slamming his head into the jet's wing. He loses hold of Jack-Jack, who falls)

Elastigirl: BOB! THROW ME!

(Mr. Incredible throws Elastigirl towards Jack-Jack and she catches him and turns into a parachute. Syndrome lands onto the jet's doorway.)

Syndrome: This isn't THE END of! I WILL get your son, EVENTUALLY! I'll get your son! HA-HA! (gasps)

(Bob's car is seen flying towards Syndrome's Ship)

Syndrome: Oh, no.

(Tumbling end over end towards the Manta Jet. Syndrome jumps back as the crafts collide, blowing him off his feet and up over the wing, toward the turbines. Clawing madly to find purchase, he looks over his shoulder in time to see the end of his cape sucked into the intake. Syndrome screams as he's yanked out of frame. Bob, Dash and Violet cringe as the Manta Jet explodes. Elastigirl cradles Jack-Jack facing upwards, his back toward the ground. He looks at her, giggling and cooing)

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

(Elastigirl lands and the debris land on top of the house.)

(After some of the the smoke clears, they see Violet protected them with a force field.)

Elastigirl: That’s my girl.

Dash: Does this mean we have to move again?

(Everyone chuckles at this. The smoke begins to clear, revealing a lone witness to this cataclysmic event Rusty, whose eyes are as big as dinner plates.)

Rusty: Oh, man...THAT WAS TOTALLY WICKED!!!

Scene 40- Track Race

[Parker Stadium - Metroville, 3 MONTHS LATER]

(The stadium parking lot is about half full on a beautiful cloudless day. The sign outside the stadium displays "JUNIOR HIGH TRACK FINALS". Inside the stadium, young runners loosen up at the starting line of the hundred-yard dash. Dash is among them. He waves to the stands. In the stands, Bob, Helen and Jack-Jack wave back. Coming down the steps is none other than Violet's crush, Tony Rydinger. He waves cooly at some friends and heads toward the concession stand. Pausing when he sees Violet and a friend talking nearby. He approaches them.)

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...

Tony: Hey.

Violet: Hey.

Tony: You’re, uh, Violet, right?

Violet: That’s me.

Girl: See you, Vi.

Tony: You look different.

Violet: I feel different. Is different okay?

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

Violet: Yeah?

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

Violet: Yeah?

Tony: Do you know...

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

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

Violet: Friday.

[The starter pistol fires, and the runners take off. Dash jogs well behind the pack in a confident, easy trot. In the stands Bob, Helen, and Violet cheer Dash on.]

Bob: GO, GO, GO, GO, RUN, RUN, RUN, RUN! COME ON, COME ON, COME ON, PICK UP THE PACE!

Helen: COME ON! RUN DASH RUN! RUN, RUN, GO, GO! RUN, RUN, RUN!

(Dash starts to get ahead too quickly.)

Bob: AH! NO, MOVE BACK! MOVE BACK! JUST A LITTLE BIT! DON'T GIVE UP!! MAKE IT CLOSE! GO FOR SECOND!! CLOSE SECOND, CLOSE SECOND!

Helen: AH! NO, NO, NO, NO! GO FOR SECOND!

(A man glances at the family with a confused or concerned expression on his face. Dash gets confused and starts going slower. When he starts to understand, he races back to second.)

Bob: YEAH! That’s my boy!

Helen: WHOO HOOO!

[Cut to a scene were, The family crosses the parking lot, Dash sitting atop Bob's shoulders, clutching his second-place trophy. Everyone is happy and together]

Helen: Dash, I’m so proud of you.

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

Scene 41- The Underminer

(The ground begins to quake. The Incredibles stop as the low rumble grows louder. On the far side of the lot, cars begin to be thrown into the air, tossed about like toys. A gargantuan drill spirals out of the ground, throwing dirt and chunks of asphalt in all directions. People run screaming as the enormous metallic vehicle crests and crashes to earth. A door opens on top and a hulking figure in dirty overalls emerges atop a rising platform. His ragged voice amplified through a loudspeaker, the Underminer speaks)

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

(Camera pans off Bob as he glances at his family. They've already donned their masks, ready as they'll ever be. Camera returns to Bob, revealing that he too has put on his mask. He turns toward their new enemy and smiles, rips his shirt open to reveal the "i" insignia on the chest of his super suit underneath just like a certain superhero we all know, the camera zooms into the logo of Letter I and The Incredibles; credits roll)
