Phil, Ron, Ralph, stay focused!

Ah. Okay, okay.

(grunts softly)

Okay, our target is Maxime Le Mal,

one of the AntiVillain League’s most wanted.

And trust me, a real jerk.

So, there is no room for error. Got it?

ALL: Si, boss.

Uh, boss? Uh, Gru?

Well, if it isn’t Maxime Le Mal.

You look…

Magnificent?

Yes, I know.

What did you think, huh? I was going to look like a bald loser with a dad bod?

Oops, looks like you beat me to it, no?

Well, that’s not…

(guests oohing)

BOTH: Ooh!

Oh.

It’s good to laugh, no?

(laughs)

Anyway, you remember my girlfriend, Valentina?

She was captain of the Femme Fatales cheer squad and the most popular girl in school, huh?

I remember.

Good to see you, Valentina.

(dog growls)

(laughs) What happened, Gru?

All your dreams of becoming a famous villain, they go poofpoof, huh?

Can I have everyone’s attention, please?

Good evening, and welcome, Lycee Pas Bon alumni. Now, we’re going to kick off the festivities by announcing the winner of our most coveted award, the Golden Alumni.

(cheering, applause)

And so, without further ado, the winner of this year’s Golden Alumni is, uh… oh, my favorite student, Maxime Le Mal!

What? What?

Oh, thank you.

Are you kidding me?

Look what I taught Lucky.

Lucky, sit.

Uh, maybe we practice outside from now on.

There’s my favorite husband.

Did you remember to get the milk?

Well, yes. They had a few kinds.

They got the almond milk, soy milk, hemp milk, oat milk, goat milk, chocolate milk, halfandhalf, powdered and of magnesia.

What about regular milk?

Uh, they don’t make that anymore.

Oh.

I know you love your dada!

Go on, say it. “Dada.”

“Dada.”

Yes, of course he loves you.

(laughing)

He just… he just doesn’t show it on his face.

Or with his body language.

(chuckles) Right, Gru Jr.? Come on.

Show Daddy how much you love him.

Oh, I know what will make you happy.

Mmm. Bahama Medley.

No?

It’s from the Bahamas all of them.

Maxime Le Mal has sent you a message from prison.

Bonjour, Gru.

I know you can hear me, so hear this.

You think you can humiliate me and get away with it, yes?

But no! When I break out of prison,

I’m coming for my revenge, Gru, but this time, I won’t go so easy on you.

And I know where you live, so you’d better sleep with one eye open, ’cause you can’t hide from me. (laughs)

Leave our home?

Oh, no, you’re gonna love it.

It’sit’s called the safe house, and it’s fun, and it’s safe, and it’s fantastic, and we’re going.

Yeah, you’ll get a new room, go to a new school.

That’ll be fun, right?

Everything’s gonna be new. We love new.

What about all my friends?

You’ll make new friends, probably better ones.

All right, now down to business.

For your own safety, you’ll all be assuming new identities.

New identities? Is that really necessary?

It’s not up for debate, Gru.

Now, you are a solar panel salesman.

Lucy, you’re a hair stylist at an upscale salon.

Truly, I cannot think of a worse…

My name’s Blanche, isn’t it?

Yup.

Well, I’ll get used to it.

Well, why don’t you girls go and pick out your rooms while I have a word with your parents?

Yes, II didn’t want to frighten the girls, but it is absolutely crucial you keep your true identities under wraps.

Gru, you’re going to have to try to not be so Gruish.

What is that supposed to mean?

Well, I’m just saying you tend to stand out in a crowd.

That’s all. You know, you, uh…

Like the way you’re always cranky and irritable and, uh, how you make things a bit awkward for everyone around you.

You do do that. (laughs)

I mean, you, you know, you…

Okay, enough.

I don’t make people awkward or uncomfortable.

I’m very comforting.

Like a nice meat loaf.

I’m pretty delicious.

This is not awkward.

You’re the ones who are making it awkward.

Gru, you have to blend in.

Your family’s lives are at stake.

You understand?

Of course. Yes. Fully understand.

We would do anything to keep our family safe. Yeah.

Right, well, I’ll be in contact when this is all over.

Until then, capturing Maxime Le Mal is our top priority.

Stay safe.

You know what, Gru? Maybe this isn’t so bad.
