Igor (2008)
(PENNIES FROM HEAVEN PLAYING)
And every time it rains It rains pennies from heaven (THUNDER CRASHING) Don't you know each cloud contains pennies from heaven? You'll find your fortune falling All over town Be sure that your umbrella is up-up-up-up-upslde down And trade them for a package of sunshine and ravioli IGOR: Nice weather we're having, huh? Here in the kingdom of Malaria, every dey's forecast is rainy with a 100% chance of horror. (THUNDER CRACKING) It wasn't elweys Ilke this, though. Years ago, Maleria was a sunny land of farmers. Until the mysterious storm clouds rolled in and never left. They killed our crops, and our people became poor. And that's when Klng Malbert thought up a new way for us to make money, Evil Inventions. The kind that crush you, klll you, bring you back to life, then kill you again, way worse. We invent them, and the world pays us not to unleash them. Oh, It's a great gig, especially if you're an Evil Scientist. Fame, fortune, a rent-free castle in the hills. They get it all. They're the top of the heap. Igor! Pull the switch! Yes, Master! IGOR: And the bottom of the heap? Those are the poor slobs like me, born with a hunch on our back, Igors. Actually, that Igor's not me. Igor! Pull the switch! Yes, Master! IGOR: No, no, no, that's not me, either. (CAWING) That's me. See? I look nothing like those other guys, much better-looking. Anyway, all Igors are forced to serve Evil Scientists. Our life is a permanent graveyard shift. But I never wanted to be an Igor. I always wanted to be an Evil Scientist. Unfortunetely, the hunch on my back was a one-way ticket to Igor School. I majored in Talking With a Slur and graduated with a Yes Masters Degree. Then, it was off to find a job. Hi, I'm here about the "Igor Wanted" and. My name's Igor. Well, of course it is. I've got a hunch on my back. What's my name gonna be? Kevin? (LAUGHING) IGOR: They didn't appreciate my creatlve style. But eventually, I landed a job for Dr. Glickenstein. Pull the switch! IGOR: Not the smartest scientist. His last invention was an Evil Lasagna. It didn't klll anyone. And it actually tasted pretty good. DR. GLICKENSTEIN: Igor! IGOR: Igors aren't allowed to invent, but I still manage to work on my own inventions in secret. And this new one is gonna be the one that proves that I'm the biggest Evil Genius of them all, and not just another... DR. GLICKENSTEIN: (SHOUTING) Igor! IGOR: Once they see what I can do, I'll have a whole new life, and I'll never have to answer to another master again. Sorry Master. What did you say? Oh! I mean... (GULPS) (SLURRING) Sorry, Master. I was in the bathroom. Had a bat stuck in the belfry, if you know what I mean. Master I don t want to hear your toilet memoirs, you cretin! I give you five minutes a week to take care of your business. I'm not running a resort here! Now get over there and... Pull the switch! Yes, Master! (ELECTRICAL BUZZING) Yes! Yes! Yes! (LAUGHING MANIACALLY) Who's the failure now, Mother? (ALARM BLARING) (POWERING DOWN) (GROANING) (SOBBING) Mummy, Mummy, you were right! I was never meant to be a scientist. I should have been a plumber like you! That was the first time he was right all day. You! Go find me a 16- gigawatt temporal transducer Excuse me, Master, are you sure you don't mean 21- gigawatt? You're correcting me? Strike! (CACKLING) I should do more improve. (DOOR CLOSES) (GROANS) My hunch. (BONES SNAPPING) Oh, there she goes. Much better. (SINGING) Good evening, friendsl IGOR: That's Scamper, one of my most successful inventions. I made him immortal. Which is kind of a hassle for him, since he doesn't want to live. Will nothing end this vicious cycle? IGOR: I also made him talk. Which is a hassle for me, since he never shuts up. No fair! You wasted your immortality formula on the wrong guy, Igor. IGOR: That's Brain, one of my other inventions. Legend has it when the smartest man in the world died, they put his brain in a jar. This is not that brain. (SQUEAKING) I wanna live forever! I got plans! And dreams! I got a squeaky wheel! Was that me? Really, Brain? You want to be trapped in an endless existential nightmare, forced to keep living, even though life is meaningless and nothing matters? Possibly. What exactly did you say? Too bad he wasted his intelligence formula on me, too, Brain. Or should I say "Brian"? Hey! I was in a hurryl Stupid permanent marker. IGOR: Enough The Evil Science Fair is in a week, and Glickenstein is gonna lose again. Okay, I get it. You want me to fix his invention. Now I'll just need a screwdriver, some nails and my bag of marbles. Don't touch his invention, Brain. Final You don't want the benefit of my brain power? Then, farewell, Igor. Like a gentle fawn, I shall leave this meadow. (GRUNTING) On second thought maybe I'll stick around, (EXPLOSION) So I can watch Mr. Smarty- hunch fix Glickenstein's invention. I couldl But you know what would happen if I did! The same thing he'd do if he found out I invented you two. He'd recycle me. Can you imagine being chopped up and used for body parts and God knows what else? Horrible. (GROANING) SCAMPER: Dang it! Still here. If I had my shot, I could be one of the greatest Evil Scientists Malaria has ever seen. They'd all cheer my name just like they do for the great Dr. Schadenfreude! (ORGAN PLAYING OMINOUS TUNE) (UP-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYING) ANNOUNCER: And now your master of disaster, the chief of grief, a man who needs no introduction, but who will brutally torture me if he doesn't get one, Dr. Schadenfreude! Thank you, thank you. You're too klnd! And I'm not. But I want to welcome you all to my annual pre- Evil Science Fair party. My girlfriend Jaclyn. (CHUCKLING) You know, she may seem like a shallow, conniving wretch... That's all I got. That pretty much sums her up. (AUDIENCE LAUGHING) A toast to the undefeated winner of and the greatest Evil Genius in the world. (FANFARE) (SPITS) Bow for the King! (BAND PLAYING LIVELY MARCH) "The greatest Evil Genius in the world." I rememberwhen people used to call me that. Back when the clouds destroyed our peaceful land of farmers, and my plan to blackmail the world saved us all Yes, as you ve told us all over and over and over. Yeah, well, here's more. Did you know that years ago, Schoddy's family name was Poekelmacher? His family were pickle-makers! (ALL LAUGHING) So, what's your Evil Invention this year, Doctor, kosher or dill? (CROWD LAUGHING) I want to shove a pickle right where the sun don't shine You mean Malaria, Master? (EXCLAIMS) No matter how many Evil Science Fairs I win, I always have to bow down to that idiot I will never get the respect he gets! Respect? Respect isn't gonna keep me in baby-seal boots. (SEAL WHIMPERING) You just need to keep on winning Well, that is spoken like a true worthless leech, who, by the way still has not helped me steal this year's winning invention. You know, maybe if you were a real scientist, you wouldn't need me to help you cheat every year. (MACHINERY WHINING) (SNICKERS) Your whole lab is fake, just like you. And maybe I should throw you back in the gutter where I found you! You're one to talk, Dr. Schadenfraude! You don't have the guts. (GASPS) (GROANING) (EXCLAIMS) (GASPS) (LAUGHING) Is Daddy still mad at me? No. But you and your friend Heidi still have a litt e job to do. Oh, we're trying. Well, try a little bit harder! Because this year, I won't stop at just winning the Evil Science Fair. (JACLYN LAUGHING) I'm gonna unleash my winnlng invention on the King's smug little face, and then he'll be the one groveling at my feet! (YODELING) Hi there! Look, it's your little girlfriend, Heidi. You take a cocoa break, and I'll guard your plans for your new invention. No, wait! You'll spill on my plans. Heidi, you re not careful enough! You're so sloppy sometimes. Oh, poopshkin. I went to the evil bookstore and got you an inspirational poster. It's a little kitten! To remind you to always take time in your day for a little torture My transducer! Time to go I have no time for cocoa or kittens! I have to work on my plans alone and in secret. (EXCLAIMING) In otherwords, bon voyage. Who doesn't like tortured kittens? I... I like kittens. I don't like dirty little hunchpeople. Great, Schadenfreude's gonna kill me. (SIGHS) And why are there two transducers? Master, the 21- gigawatt might be somewhat safer, I think. Think? Igors don't think. I m using the you fool! Now get over there and pull the switch! What are you waiting for? Yes, Master! Yes! Yes! Yes! (LAUGHING MANIACALLY) I told you the you Igor Behold my rocket ship (CACKLES) Born to stream through the world, un eashing pain and misery on everyone. I named her after you, Mother. (CACKLING) (ALARM BLARING) Now to take the old cow for a test drive. No, Master! The rocket is going to... (GLASS SHATTERING) Uh... Yeah that. SCAMPER: Finally. Now I can throw out that rug in the foyer That thing is hideous. We were all thinking it. I just said it. (BANGING ON DOOR) Oh, no, who's that? What am I gonna do? Relax, this is Glickenstein's castle. And he doesn't have to open that door for anyone. ROYAL GUARD: Open for the King! Except for the King. Oh, my God Oh, my God He's here to see Glickenstein! What do I tell him? Tell him the truth. And if he kills us, I'll come back and give you a beautiful funeral. Right, right. The truth, that's a good option. Right, right. Glicky! Glicky, my boy Where's Glicky? Your Highness, he's gone. Curse it I need to see his invention. Schadenfreude is getting too popular. The people might make him king. Someone has to beat him this year, with an invention more evil than his. Someone who can snatch Schadenfreude's number one position and rub his face In number two! BOTH: Ew! Your Highness, Dr. Glickenstein is creating life! Did you say "life"? Yes. Think ng, breathing life that can destroy freely all on its own. No Evil Scientist has ever been able to create life! (WHIMPERING) Oh, sure they've mutated life. They've ended life. They've blasted ife into a million gooey pieces. But created life? A weapon like that would be the greatest Evil Invention of all time. And its inventor the greatest Evil Scientist of all time? Of course! This is what I've been waiting for. And it's your job to make sure nothing happens to Glickenstein, or I'll throw you down the recycling chute and use your hunch as a speed bump! (GULPS) Oh, this is big. Schadenfreude'is winning streak is over. Come on boys! Let's go kick some old people. (LAUGHS) Ow! What is wrong with you? That's for having a death wish. That's my thing. I am not gonna die, Scamper. For the first time ever, I'm gonna live! (SCREAMS) I sometimes come down here to think. Wow, how interesting. What' s next? You're gonna pull out a guitar and play us a song you wrote in college about being misunderstood? (BOTH SCREAMING) I know, right? And she's not even done yet. (SCREAMING) (JUMP, JIVE 'N' WAIL PLAYING) Baby, baby, It looks like it's gonna hail Baby, baby, It looks like it's gonna hail You better come inside Let me teech you how to jive and wail (BRAIN SCREAMING) Come on, bigger. Do it. Come on, make it bigger. Bigger! (SCREAMS) Okay to the left. Very good. Now back to the right. No, no, no! To the left, now back to the right. To the right. To the right. Is that even herhand? (GROANS) (EXCLAIMS) And now to make her skin indestructible. You gotta jump, jive, and then you wail You gotta jump, jive, and then you wail You gotta jump, jive, and then you wail (SCREAMS) (LAUGHING) Did you see that? Shoot him again. And now, the crucial last piece, the source of all the Monster's power, the Evil Bone. I have to hurry. It loses its power in the light. That's it. Only one thing left to do. (CHUCKLES) He said "do." Pull the switch! (ECHOING) Do not yell at me. Oh, I'm sorry. I was just... Pull the switch. Please pull the switch. That's better. Wait, wait, wait, wait! Why does he get to pull the switch? (SIGHS) Because I'm not an idiot, Brian. My name is not Brian! Then you must have his jar. Stop! You can both pull the switch. On the count of three. One. Hey! No fair! You said we could both pull the... (SCREAMS) (SHUDDERING) Rise! Rise! (ALARM BLARING) (POWERING DOWN) I... I don't believe it. I'm a failure. I'm a... I'm an Igor. Get rid of that thing. I never want to see it again. Funny you should say that. Uh... Igor? Yeah. Where did the monster go? I don't know, Brain. May I suggest looking behind you? (SCREAMS) It was just a suggestion. (BRAIN SQUEAKING) Maybe it just spontaneously combusted? Oh, yeah sure. I've read about that in... Who am I kidding? I can't read! (CLANGING) (METALLIC CREAKING) (ALL GASP) (SHUDDERS) (EXCLAIMS IN ALARM) (ROARING) And just like that she was out of their lives. I did it. I... I created life. Has that hole alwayss been there? Come on! SCAMPER: Let me get this straight We are chasing after the bloodthirsty monster? "Home For Blind Orphans." (SCREAMING) Oh God, she's killing blind orphans! That's so evil! I mean, which is great, but... (SCREAMING CONTINUES) Blind orphans! (KIDS LAUGHING) (SQUEALING) I wanna go next (WHOOPING) Me, me, pick me! I wonder what diabolical deed she has planned next. Piggyback rides? It's my turn! I wanna go next! I wanna go next! Me! Me! Pick me! Me! Me! Blind orphans get everything! Ah Your very large friend is a sweetheart. No, she's not. I am your master, and I command you to stop this gesture of goodwill right now and put them down. Down! Okay, now you're gonna march right back to the castle, got it? Oh, he's dead! (SNIRFS) Those are paper flowers the orphans sell. Sounds like someone likes them You touch it, you buy it! (CREATURE HOWLING) (PANTING) Master! I looked inside Dr Glickenstein's castle and didn't see anyone. But that's not all... Yes, it s, because your voice is annoying. Now to break into Glickenstein's castle and steal the plans like Heid failed to do. What did this? I'm guessing something big. Something like this. Life? Glickenstein invented life? I don't think he had a hand in it. Well, if he's toast, who invented that? I don't believe it. Wow, so not only is every other Evil Scientist smarter than you, an Igor is, too? (CHUCKLES) Ouch! Smart is not mouthing off to the man who has just found his way to take the throne. (VOCALIZING) (BABY, WON'T YOU PLEASE COME HOME PLAYING) Oh, baby, won't you please come home? 'Cause your little daddy's gonna be all elone She must be making a club of flowers to smash us with. (WHISPERING) This must be very embarrassing for you. I never thought that we could part For every hour in the day you can hear me say Baby, won't you please come home? I need you, I need you Okay clearly her Evil Bone wasn't activated when she came to life. That's it. Ooh! I have an idea! Is it about this situation? No. Is it even an idea? Is French fries an idea? (BUZZING) So, how do you activate it? We need to kick-start it We need to get her to commit one act of evil. (SCORRS) She wouldn't hurt a fly. Okay. Monster, I command you to kill that fly. Kill it! Kill it! Kill it, girl! Come on! You're a killer! Maim it! Wound it! Insult it! Something! Kill it! Kill it! Kill, kill, kill! You were saying? (BUZZING) No, no, no! You're evil! Evil! Evil! E... Eva. What? No, you're not Eva. Eva. Eva. What now, genius? Well, thank you for asking. What we're going to do... Go soak your brain Brian. That's actually not a bad idea. IGOR: Monster want a brain wash? (THEME MUSIC PLAYING) (BUZZER RINGS) Next! Hi, I'd like to... Hey, who you talking to? I'm the head guy here! Oh, excuse me. Sorry. What the heck is that? It's my Aunt Eva. She's getting a little sweet in her old age so I'd like to, I don't know, evil her up a bit. "Sunday Night Massacre." No. "Arsonist. ' Gee, they all look so good.

You wanna waste your nephew's money ike that? Huh? Huh? (SCREAMING) (KNIFE SWIPING) Gosh I feel like I'm sending my kid off to school for the first time. You know, to learn how to murder. Hi. How are you? Great wings. Listen, could you squeeze me in for a brain wash, too? A nice thorough scrubbing. What are you? An imbecile? Oh, perlez Italian? Taco grande to meet you. Yeah. Take Brian to Room Number 4. "Wish you weren't there. "This card teleports your enemy to you so you can destroy him in person." Call me old- fashioned, but what happened to cards that just blew your head off? Just think Scamper. In a few short moments, I'm gonna have the most Evil Invention of all time. It's my whole life savings, but I think I'm going to treat myself. (CLICKING) (MACHINERY WHIRRING) Oh, my hunch. "Happy Mother's Day.' See, that's what I'm talking about. Simple, elegant, classic. You've seen a lot of brains I'm sure. Mine's biggerthan average, right? No? Hello? Can you even talk? (EXCLAIMS IN DISGUST) Canadians. I'll just watch TV. Whoops! Butterfingers.

Well, our evil bun should be out of the oven soon. Estephan, you're a magician! What s that smell? My new air freshener, "Dead Dog." Jealous? I don't hear anything. (SCREAMING) I think it worked. (ROARING) Maybe they dld too much? Oh. Was it? Was I too much? I was pushing, wasn't I? It was only a vocal exercise, but that is a beginner's mistake I have to own that. That's just where I am. If only I knew whether I had the "it" factor. But how can you know? I mean, you can t learn that, you just have to be born with it. Oh listen to me going on and on about me, me, me. Let's talk about you, Igor Do you think I have "it"? Let's thank ourguest who has taught us in one hour, a lifetime worth of lessons in acting. Acting? (EXCLAIMS) Who changed the channel? Wait, where's the remote? Move it! I need this room. No, no, no Wait! We need to unbrainwash her! No can do, pal. Every wash comes with a sealant guaranteed to last a lifetime. In otherwords, buzz off! EVA: Okay, things to do, sign up for yoga classes get new headshots, adopt children from all over the world. Oh time for my elocution exercises.

EVA: Biscuit mixer a box of mix... A box of mixed biscuits and a biscuit mixer. I need a box... Stop the carriage! (BRAKES SCREECHING) Ow! What? What's the matter? I don't mean to be a prima donna, but I thlnk I need a bigger trailer. After failure, after failure, after failure... After failure, after failure... That monster is about to be mine. Oh, really? How? Well, with a little something I just stole for the occasion, okay? (CLANKING) EVA: Practice poses for the red carpet, become an environmentalist, but still fly private when necessary. A Shrink Ray? Oh, that's a genius plan for stealing a monster. Hey! I don't come down to where you work and... Oh, that's right, you don t work! So shut your cake hole, darling! Now to shrink Igor and steal his monster. (BEEPING) (GASPS) (TIRES SCREECHING) Oh, God Did I hit it? Did I hit it? I hope I didn't hit it! You, sir, put the "Evil" in "Evil Scientist."

(SCREAMING) (METAL CREAKING) IGOR: This would be the right time to curb your suicida tendencies. BRAIN (ECHOING) Hey I can see my room from here. (EXCLAIMS) (SNIRFING) Go away! Look, I'm very important. Ew! What's that smell? Oh, yes, wait, it's the big, whopping stench of failure. Ironically, at an inch tall, you still have the biggest mouth in Malaria. (GASPS) (ALL SCREAMING) IGOR: Thank you. You're very welcome. You saved my life. As an actor, I feel things very deeply, and I treasure all of life. (HUMMING) FIY, it's actually me you should thank. I was the one who changed the channel on her brain wash. What? Yep, and if she had been evil, she would have let us all die. So technically, I'm the one who saved us. But no need to thank me. Actually, a "thank you" would be nice. It could be n the form of a card or a poem, your choice. I also like ponies. An axe? I don't want an axe. That's crazy Why would you offer me an axe? You made my monster an actress! This is why people are afraid of hunchbacks! This! Right here! Oh! What play are they rehearsing? Brain-Deed. Don't et him kill me! It's gonna be a smash Don't let him kill me! (WHIMPERING) (EXHALES) The only thing killed here is my dream Bravo! Bravo! Huh? Oh, you guys are so lucky to have work. If only I had a role I could really sink my teeth into. Eva, you're in luck. In four days, there's an audition for the lead in the biggest play to hit Malaria since... The Desperete Hunchbeck Who Grasped at Straws? Seriously, Eva, this could be your big break! Oh, my gosh! I don't believe it! What play is it? Play? What play is It? Is it Annie? Annie? So many terrific girls got their start playing Annie. Yes, that's it! It's Annie! So it's actually a musical? (VOCALIZING) I think I just wet myself. Someone can sing! Gosh! Me trying out for Annie, the plucky orphan whose song of hope lifts the heart of a weary nation? Yeah. Except in this version, Annie goes nuts and battles a bunch of Evil Inventions in deadly hand-to- hand combat. Wow. How avant- garde. Yeah. Trust me You were born to be in this production. (SINGING) The sun'll come out tomorrow Bet your... No, you missed it, again. Excuse me, Igor, but I think you re supposed to say "cut" That's for film Film? Can you imagine a face like that on a 40- foot screen? All right, all right. Now, listen, Eva... Excuse me, Igor, I'm a little distracted. What? I think the makeup glrl is out to get me. No, that's Brain. And he's not the makeup girl, he's the idiot. Now try to remember on the word "tomorrow," you re supposed to crush the Evil Invent on to your left! You mean "stage left." Yeah, whatever. You're supposed to smash it to smithereens I know, it's just... It looks kind of real, and It's hard because I would never hurt anything rea! The props at the audition are gonna look even more real, Eva. Some may even scream when you smash them Oh, really? Yes. And they're also going to fight back. But it's all for reallty's sake. But ifyou don't want to be a real actress... Oh, no, no. I do, I do This is a block for me but I will get through it. Once more, from the top, with feeling. I just have a teeny, teeny, tiny suggestion. Now, I know I m not the director but at the end of the number, I would love to try something like this... (SINGING) You're only a day Away (VOCALIZING) (PANTING) Works for me. IGOR: Dr. Igor. Dr. Igor von Igorstein. No, no, no. The Evil Revered Igor von Igorstein III. I can't believe it. I mlght actually be able to pull thls off. (DOOR OPENS) Good work today, Eva. You took some really (CLEARS THROAT) Big steps. (WHISPERS) Thank you, Igor. I'm whlspering to protect my voice. I really couldn't have done it without you. Isn't it beautiful? King Malbert has turned this country into a paradise His tower shines out for all the world to see as a beacon of evil. And that's a good thing? We were a nothing country until King Malbert taught us that the way to succeed is by doing evil. Phew! This is a tough town. Well, in this word, nice guys finish last. So, I have to step on people to get ahead? Uh... Yeah. Well, I'd rather be a good nobody than an evil somebody And so would you Because you're good, Igor. Eva, don't say that. It's true. You are good. Seriously, stop saying that! But you are! You've helped me with my audittion. You've made me this delicious tea You're a very good friend. Evil Scientists don't have friends Well, what are Brain and Scamper? Headaches. Oh! Is that al I am? No. Okay. Then you can be my number two friend. Number two friend. Well, who's your number one friend? See? You're jealous. You do wanna be my friend. I guess I'm just a pushover. Hi, welcome to Cristall Clear. I'm Carl Cristall. Tonight, we have a very special guest, someone we all love and respect. It's Honkers the Gassy Monkey. But first, King Malbert. You're not wearing any, you know pants. Hmm? Oh, no, I'm not. I figure, why does an invisible man need to wear pants? It's very liberating, Your Highness. Sire, the clouds, were they a blessing or a curse? Well, of course, I wou d never wish the clouds on my people But we rallied together for the common good by embracing evil, and look at us now! Respected, successful What are you doing? Scratching my invisible... But getting back to my next question, sire. The Evil Science Fair is two days away. Any predictions? Can anyone beat Dr. Schadenfreude? Well, I hate to predict. (CHUCKLES) I mean, al the Evil Scientists are twisted fiends in their own right. That said there may be a genius this year with an Evil Invention so revolutionary that Schadenfreude might finally get knocked off his perch! The only one getting knocked off his perch is you! Damn it, I need that monster! I wi I not be beaten by a hunchbacked pot- bellied, bulgy-eyed runt. I think he's kind of cute Talent is attractive. I can just picture Igor and his monster now, plotting their deadly combat maneuvers. (THE BIGGER THE FIGURE PLAYING) I got a woman as big as a house, yes, sir She's as big as a two-famlly house with a porch and a fence You won't believe what you see when you look at her (CHOKING) She's enormous, colossal, tremendous, glgentic, immense Why try to deny it? She's just what I like If she goes on a diet I'll go on strike The bigger the flgure The better I like her The better I like her The better I feed her The better I feed her The bigger the flgure The bigger the flgure The more I can love She's exactly like a watermelon Big end round and sweet And in a party dress She may be quite a mess But I love her a lot So what if she's not so neat? The bigger the figure The better I like her The better I like her The better I feed her The better I feed her The bigger the figure The bigger the figure The more I can love If she ever Eets me out of money And we needed the rent Oh, that'll be a cinch 'Cause when we're in a plnch I can put her to work under a circus tent The bigger the figure The better I like her The better I like her The better I feed her The better I feed her The bigger the figure The bigger the figure The more I can love Guys, can you come in here? I need to talk to you. If she's having a woman problem it's all yours. Ta- da! What are these? Opening night presents I know it's technically just an audition tomorrow, but I figured "What the hey?" They're not much, since I had to use stuff I found around here but, well... You first, Brain! An envelope! You spoil me rotten, lady. I think we better open it It's a new label for your jar. (EXCLAIMS IN AWE) And Brain is spelled right! It is, right? You shouldn't really worry about labels, though, because you may be a brain, but you have heart And in some ways, that's more important. Heart? I'd kill for a pair of feet. Open yours, Scamper. It's a prehistoric evergreen. They live forever. I just want to make sure that if anything ever happens to the three of us, you always have company. (SOBBING) Great. I must be allergic to it. With any luck, it'll kill me with its dinosaur- era toxins. Can we move on to Igor now? No one's ever given me a glft before. It's something no director can be without. A beret! Voil! That's French for, "Please stop pelting me and my ridiculous hat with rocks." Hey, Igor where s our gift for Eva? Our gift? Oh! You guys didn't. We did. Where'd you put it, Igor? It s in the other room. Gift, gift, gift, gift. Eva. Well, we got you this. It's a necklace. It's the most beautlful thlng I've ever seen! Igor, can you... I would do it myself, but I am all thumbs. Yeah, I'm sorry about that. I got the thumbs on sale. I'm never gonna take this off. That way all of you will be close to my heart forever. (SIGHS) I need to go write this down in my sense-memory journal! Oh where did I put my glitter pen? See, this is the kind of moment that'd be tough for someone who wasn't meant to be an Evil Scientist. Somebody who'd go all soft and want to tell her the truth. But lucky for us, I'm evil, right? Yeah. Lucky us. I don't feel lucky. So we stay on track, 'cause we're almost there, and I just don't let her get into my head. (HUMMING) (GRUNTS) It's so hard being a little hunchback. Heidi! Dr. Glickenstein is under the rug. I mean, under the weather. I didn't come to see him. I came to see you. Me? By the way, an Igor came by today and asked me to hands- deliver this to you. And these are my hands. What? What is it? Ja, I haven't any idea. "Wish You Weren't There." (COUGHING) Oh, excellent, wonderful. You got my card. (HEIDI HUMMING) Is everything okay? (SCREAMS) I heard a strange noise. Ooh! Oh, I wasn't at the door listening to you and Igor. I just... Hi! We haven't met. I'm Eva. (WHIMPERING) Oh, you're upset, aren't you? "Who is this strange woman living with Igor," right? Well, believe me, Igor and I are just friends. As his girlfriend you have nothing to worry about. I'm not his girlfriend. You're not? But the way he looks at you. He never looks at me that way Maybe some men like girls who don't look like they've been put together at the junkyard. Right. You have a very ugly face. (CHUCKLES) Well, I have to go get some rest for my audition tomorrow. (CRACKING) It was nice meeting you. Oh. (CHUCKLES) Whoops! Audition? (HAWAIIAN MUSIC PLAYING) DR. SCHADENRREUDE: So, how's your cocktail, Igor? Is it nice? You like it? Is it coconut- ty? Coconut- ty enough? Wait! You should be sipping in style! Igor! Krazy Straw! Right now (IMITATES RANRARE) (FANFARE) Small trumpet. Isn't that better? Doesn't that taste better? Excuse mee, sir, butwhy... (CLEARS THROAT) (SLURRING) I mean, why am I here? You can drop that slur around me. I don't even make my Igors talk that way. Isn't that right, Igor? Oh, that's right, Master. How many times do I have to tell you? Call me Frederick. Okay? That's my name. Okay. Frederick! I have toget back. Dr. Glickensteln will be missing me. Somehow, I think he's missing more than his right-hand man. (GASPS) Look, Iggy baby, I know all about Glickenstein and his deadness. I also know about your monster I'm gonna guess your plan. You win the Evil Science Fair, and then everyone looks past the hunch thing, and they accept you for the real you. You grab the girl of your dreams and you cha-cha- cha your way to a happy ending. Am I close on this? No, not entirely. I don't know how to cha-cha. We're a lot alike, Igor I want to be more as well, but society, it won't let me. It stops me. So, this s my plan I enter Evil Science Fair with your monster and then I win. I turn the monster on the King. Ding dong, the King is dead long live the new king, me! And then you come in as Malaria's new Evil Scientist Dr. Igor. So what do you say to that? Is that nice? Is that really nice? You want to overthrow the King? I thought you wanted to be an Evil Scientist. I do. But... Stop thinking like an Igor! Evil Scientists do not let anyone stand in their way. Yes. I know. They step on people to get ahead. Exactly! She'll never do it. She? The monster. She isn't evil. Something went wrong and her Evil Bone was never activated. So how do we get this Evil Bone up and running, huh We kick it, we slap it, we take it to the movies, call it Irene? She needs to commit an evil act, but since she's not evil, she won't. (CHUCKLING) Well, your troubles are over then, because I can get a woman to do absolutely anything. I don't know. Don't tell me that you have feelings for this thing? No. Good, because that would be pathetic. I can give you everything you have ever wanted. I think I need to go. Look, the Evil Science Fair is in a few hours You're either with me or against me Yes or no? (GRUNTING) I take that as a no. (POWERING UP) What are you going to do now, smart guy? (SCREAMS) (GRUNTS) (EXCLAIMING) Oh! (EXCLAIMS) DR. SCHADENRREUDE: No! (COUGHING) Frederick! DR. SCHADENRREUDE'S IGOR: Frederick! Why are you swimming? You just ate DR. SCHADENRREUDE: Get off of me, you buffoon! (PANTING) (SQUEAKING) SCAMPER: Okay, we finished your costume. I just hope it's cinched enough at the waist. Obviously, if I had more time, I would have made it flare out a little bit more over the knees. Stop touching it, Brain, I'm creating a look here. You guys are my friends. So, you'll tell me the truth, right? SCAMPER: Yeah, sure. Do you think I'm pretty? Brain get me a tub of eye-liner, a pound of lipstick, and if all else fails, the severed head of a supermodel. DR. SCHADENFREUDE'S IGOR: Okay, the Jacuzzi is not a bathroom. I know that now. (COUGHING) Please, please take your own sweet time! I'm loving it here! Oh, really? Well, then maybe you should stay down there with your Igor, poopshkin! You know something? He's a good listener, he's got soft hands, and unlike you, he sometimes shaves his legs! (SIGHS) (GRUNTS) Wait. No kissing Heidi Or do you like me better as Heidi? Hmm. Jaclyn, Heidi, Jaclyn, Heidi. (SCREAMS) It would be really swell if you didn t go psycho- girlfriend on me right now. I'm not psycho! Obviously not. How would you feel lf every day you had to be 13 differentt people? I'm Jaclyn, your girlfriend. Then I'm Dr. Nachtmahr's girlfriend. Then I'm Dr. Groaner's girlfriend. All for you! To help you steal inventions year after year! And I still say those stolen pills were the best invention yet. Well, this time they really paid off. Guess what Mommy found out about our favorite little monster? Or should I say actress? Oh. Eva! Eva! Eva! Just breathe. Okay. Center yourself on the body (SIGHS) I'm ready for my close- up, Mr. Director. Oh, no, this isn't happen ng. Act graceful. Act graceful. Keep smiling (SCREAMING) (THUDDING) Too close? No. Eva, you look... You look beautiful Oh this is such a clich, the leading lady falling for her director Well, you're not used to high heels Oh, you mean... Our work here is done. Our work? You spent the entire time playing with a piece of ribbon. (LAUGHING) (GROANS) Eva, about the audition, I think I've given you the wrong direction. But I feel so prepared No, I've been trying to make you play a role that you're not right for. What? I have to tell you the truth. (HEIDI YODELING) (HEIDI YELLS) (GROANS) Heidi. I'll just be a minute. Oh, Igor. Ow! My ankle. It twisted like the pretzel, Igor! DR. SCHADENRREUDE: Enchanting. Thank you. And who are you? Someone who does not want your unique gifts to go to waste. (GASPS) Are you a talent agent? I was so deep down worried that when you opened the card I thought I lost you forever. Heidi, I need to tell you something. I don't know what it is, but I feel like for the first time in my life, I'm seeing a real Igor. And I think I'm in love with him. (THUNDER RUMBLES) Wow, when it rains, it pours No, no. Igor is a liar. He does this... Igor would never lie to me. Igor cares about me. Cares? He doesn't care. Because he built you to be a weapon. No, no, no, you re wrong. He'I never look at you and see a woman. All he will ever see is a monster. I don't believe you. Open your eyes. Igor has someone else in mind for your role. (MUFFLED) Heidi, no! (IGOR GRUNTING) There's nothing more for you here. Come with me. I will make you a star No. Oh! What s wrong? I can t believe I'm saying this, but I've made someone else Huh? I mean, I've met someone else, who I made. It's complicated. Wait a minute. You're rejecting me? I'm sorry. Forthat big bumpy thing? How do you know about... I mean, this isn't even the sexiest me, but come on! Look at you. You're hideous. You really are. And I kissed you! Ugh! Yuck! Um... (GASPS) You're a monster. And as we know, monsters only exist to be used. (SIGHS) (GASPS) Schadenfreude! Eva KING MALBERT: Seize him Where's Glickenstein? And before you answer, you should know that someone sent me this! (SLURRING) Your Highness, he's dead. And he didn't invent life, did he? No. (GRUNTING) I did. (SNICKERING) An Igor inventing... Silence! Hunchy invented life, eh? Well, where is it? It's a she, and I think someone's taken her. Well, if she comes back, we'll just tell her where to find you In the Igor recycllng plant! No! Please No! No! Eva, where are you? Eva Eva (IGOR YELLING) CARL CRISTALL: Lock your doors end hide your loved ones. It's the ennual Evil Science Fair! I'm Carl Cristall and I m coming to you live, invisible and totally au naturel! Fans are taking their seats, includlng King Malbert himself! Don't touch me! CARL CRISTALL: Meanwhile, the scientists are in their locker rooms, prepping their Evil Inventions! (RUMBLING) Here we are. A dressing room fit for a leading lady. (CROWD CHEERING) EVA: Wow, listen to that. How many girls are audtioning for this project? (BAND PLAYING) I'm gonna go save him. Wait. Look, maybe I 'm not a genius, okay. But I know one thing, I have to try No, I was gonna say, "Wait, I'm comlng with you." On three. One. Hey! No fair (BRAIN WHOOPING) (SCAMPER SCREAMING) (CLANKS) What are you doing here? We're here to rescue you! I don't want to be rescued. I'm an Igor. And this is what happens to us. Figures, just when I decided I want to live... Don't peek. Don't worry. I hope I can still do a decent audltion without Igor's help. Trust me, I'm the one who's gonna bring out the real you. SCAMPER: This isn't you Igor. Where is all that stupid optimism and annoying can-do attitude? I tried to be someone different, but the world wouldn't let me. Don't you want to go after Eva and save her from Schadenfreude? Are you actually trying to hypnotize me Brain? Yes! But if that's not working, then how about this? Ow! Eva needs you and you're the only hunchback that can stand tall and fight for her. Brain, that may be the smartest thing you've ever said. Reach, Brain! Reach! (STRAINING) You should have built me with a longer arm. Huh? Huh? What? Like this is the first time I've gnawed my own feet off. (ALARM BLARING) Who says rabbits' feet are lucky? (PANTING) BRAIN: Wheels, don't fail me now! (EXCLAIMS) Wheels failed me! Wheels failed me! BRAIN: We went that way! What are you doing? Looking for the secret passage! There's a ways a secret passage! Darn it Brain, there's no secret passage! It's over. (GRATING) I'm sorry, you were saying? Technically, it's a secret staircase. Welcome! To you end the milllons of viewers around the globe! They come from all corners. And just look at them. They're all worried sick about one thing, world peace. Well, tonight, it's within their grasp. And it has but a small price, and that prlce is $100 billlon. (CROWD CHEERING) And I, for one I think they can do it. And if they don't well, the Evil Invention last standing will be unleashed on the world. Ah! It'd just be too horrible to imagine. (GRUNTING) Where are we? BRAIN: And why am I panting? I don't have lungs. The tower of the King's castle. Look, there's the Killiseum. BRAIN: Wow, I don't know what it is, but I want one! It's the beacon of evil on top of the royal castle. Wait. Is it a beacon? Whoa, whoa, whoa. Where are you going? And bring me back a toy! (IGOR PANTING) (INHALES) Ah! (RUMBLING) The King's beacon s really a weather ray. King Malbert is making the storm clouds KING MALBERT: So, cltizens of the world, I beseech you... He lied to us. ... call the number on the bottom of your screens. Yes, right there. You need to give, just like we need to be evil. You need to be evil. I know my choreography, lfthat's what you mean. I think you need to go deeper. Have you ever done anything evil? No. Well, then how can you play it truthfully? You know you can't get this part if you fake it. Hit me What? Hit me. I could never hit anyone. Oh, my God Oh, my God Oh, my God! Igor was right. You are not an actress. Yes, I am. Oh, no, you're not No wonder he chose Heidi. I mean, you know, she s beautiful and you are not. She has got talent and you do not. Don't you say that Look at you You are pathetic! No, I'm not! Yes, you are! You're just a big, freaky... And here it is baby. Buckle up, here it comes You are an ugly monster!

(GIGGLES) I can't believe Schadenfreude did it again What are you doing in the King's box, Schoddy? I was about to ask you the same question, Malby. Malby? What's the meaning of this? This means you're through. Or should I say "overthrown"? (SCREAMING) Hey, you unhand him. He's your new king. (CHUCKLES) And if you have a problem with that please take it up with the head of my complaint department, who's the big monster over there. (ROARING) BOTH: Majesty.

She's an Evil Invention! No. Everyone has an Evil Bone in their body, but we choose whether or not to use it.
