Looking good, Kevin! How is the family? Good?

All right.

That's my Billy boy! What up, Larry?

Hello, everybody!

Yeah, all right!

Simmer down. Simmer down!

Thank you, okay.

Now, I realize that you guys probably heard

about this other villain who stole the pyramids.

Apparently, it's a big deal.

People are calling it the crime of the century and stuff like that.

But am I upset? No, I am not!

A little,

but we have had a pretty good year ourselves,

and you guys are all right in my book.

(EXCLAIMING)

No, no raises!

You're not going to get any raises.

What did we do?

Well, we stole the Times Square JumboTron!

- Nice! - (ALL CHEERING)

Huh?

That's how I roll.

Yeah, you all like watching football on that, huh?

But that's not all.

We stole the Statue of Liberty,

(ALL CHEERING)

the small one from Las Vegas.

(EXCLAIMING DISAPPOINTEDLY)

And I won't even mention the Eiffel Tower! Also Vegas.

Okay, I wasn't going to tell you about this yet,

but I have been working on something very big!

Something that will blow this pyramid thing out of the water!

And thanks to the efforts of my good friend Dr. Nefario...

Thank you!

GRU: Oh, there he is.

He's styling.

Now, we have located a shrink ray

in a secret lab, and once we take this shrink ray,

we will have the capability

to pull off the true crime of the century.

We are going to steal...

Wait, wait! I haven't told you what it is yet.

(MINIONS EXCLAIMING)

Hey.

Dave, listen up, please.

Next, we are going to steal,

(SOFTLY) pause for effect,

the moon!

(MINIONS CHEERING)

And once the moon is mine,

the world will give me whatever I want to get it back!

And I will be the greatest villain of all time!

(SINGING I SWEAR IN MINIONESE)

Underwear...

ALL: Underwear...

Underwear...

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

Oh!

(MINIONS CHEERING)

Can I be the first to say, "Ew!"

Underwear...

Okay.

Excuse me.

Um, hi, excuse me.

Uh, (CLEARS THROAT)

hi, everybody. I'd like to make some toast.

Uh...

Okay.

She, um...

She kisses my boo-boos, she braids my hair.

We love you, mothers, everywhere.

And my new mom, Lucy, is beyond compare.

MINIONS: Aww.

Aw.

To the bride and Gru!

(SINGING Y.M.C.A. IN MINIONESE)

Yeah!

Key Grammar Structures

• We've been waiting a long time.

• Just because everybody hates it, doesn't mean it's not good!

  ➔ Cleft sentence / Subordinate clause

  ➔ The clause starting with "Just because" acts as the subject of the main verb "doesn't mean".

  ➔ In English, we typically negate the main verb ("don't think") instead of the subordinate clause.

  ➔ Present Perfect Continuous

  ➔ Highlights that the process of "working" has been happening up until now.

• Once the moon is mine, the world will give me whatever I want.

  ➔ Using "once" + present simple to refer to a future event followed by the future tense.

• You have been promoted.

  ➔ Passive Voice (Present Perfect)

  ➔ Focuses on the receiver of the action ("You") rather than the person who promoted them.

• I wasn't going to tell you about this yet.
