- Well done, Gru, rather impressive! - (SQUEAKING)

Now the rest of the plan is simple.

I fly to the moon. I shrink the moon. I grab the moon. I sit on the toilet with... What?

(GIRLS LAUGHING)

Sorry? Sorry! If you'll... excuse me for a sec.

I told you! I told you! I told you a thousand times!

- Hey! Can we order pizza? - Pizza? You just had lunch!

Not now, for dinner.

Dinner?! Just fine, fine, fine. Just get back in there!

Oh. Can we get stuffed crust?

ALL: (EXCLAIMING) Stuffed crust.

- I'll stuff you all in the crust! - (GIGGLING) You're funny.

- Just don't come out of that room again! - (SLAM)

Ah! All right!

Sorry about that. Ah! Where were we?

- You were sitting on the toilet. - No, no, no, no, no, no. No. I'm sorry.

It was little tempted over. I know how much you like to laugh.

- Inside there now, I was saying... - (CREAKING)

You don't seem terribly focused, Gru.

Believe me, I am completely focused, I...

- Hello! Whoa! That guy is huge. - What?

- What are you, children?! - Are we on TV?

What are you doing? I told you to stay out of here!!

- (GIRLS LAUGHING) - (GRU EXCLAIMING)

Oh! No, no, no, no, no!

FREEZE RAY!!

Mr Gru.

(GRU YELLING & GRUNTING)

- But my plan... - ...is a great plan.

I love everything about your plan, except for one thing. You.
