We are from the planet Duplo, and we’re here to destroy you.
– Duplo
Oh, man.
– Emmet
I only work in black and sometimes very, very dark grey.
– Batman
Uh, guys? We’re about to crash into the sun.
– Emmet
Yeah, but it’s gonna look really cool.
– Batman
Spaceship!
– Benny
Darn, darn, darn, darny-darn!
– Bad Cop
That’s real music, Emmet. It’s dark and brooding.
– Lucy
Hey, I can be dark and brooding too – Guys, look, a rainbow!
– Emmet
I liked Emmett before it was cool.
– Vitruvius
To the Batmobile!
– Batman
Dang it…
– Batman
To the Invisible Jet!
– Wonder Woman
Dang it…
– Wonder Woman
He’s coming. Cover your butt.
– Vitruvius
All I’m asking for is total perfection.
– President Business
You don’t have to be the bad guy. You are the most talented, most interesting, and most extraordinary person in the universe. And you are capable of amazing things. Because you are the Special. And so am I. And so is everyone. The prophecy is made up, but it’s also true. It’s about all of us. Right now, it’s about you. And you… still… can change everything.
– Emmet
I wanna go home!
– Emmet
That’s not what I meant!
– Emmet
Disable the shield! Come on! You are undermining me!
– Benny
Which phrase would you like me to underline?
– Computer
Disable the shield!
– Benny
Let me try.
– Metalbeard
Be ye disabling of yond shield.
– Metalbeard
Disabling shield.
– Computer
What?
– Benny
One day, a talented lass or fellow, a special one with face of yellow, will make the Piece of Resistance found from it’s hiding refuge underground, and with a noble army at the helm, this Master Builder will thwart the Kragle and save the realm, and be the greatest, most interesting, most important person of all times. All this is true because it rhymes.
– Vitruvius
We’d rather he die than give it to you.
– Lucy
I… would not rather he died.
– Emmet
You know the rules, this isn’t a toy!
– The Man Upstairs
Um… it kind of is.
– Finn
No, actually it’s a highly sophisticated inter-locking brick system.
– The Man Upstairs
But we bought it at the toy store.
– Finn
We did, but the way I’m using it makes it an adult thing.
– The Man Upstairs
The box for this one said “Ages 8 to 14”!
– Finn
That’s a suggestion. They have to put that on there.
– The Man Upstairs
Come with me if you want to not die.
– Lucy
Hi, I’m President Business, president of the Octan corporation and the world. Let’s take extra care to follow the instructions or you’ll be put to sleep, and don’t forget Taco Tuesday’s coming next week.
– President Business
If this relationship is going to work out between us I need to feel free to party with a bunch of strangers whenever I feel like it. I will text you.
– Batman
A house divided against itself… would be better than this!
– Abraham Lincoln
You know, I don’t want to spoil the party but, does anyone notice that we’re stuck in the middle of the ocean on this couch? Do you know what kind of sunburn I’m going to get? None, ’cause I’m covered in latex, but you guys are going to get seriously fried. I mean it’s not like a… like a big gigantic ship is just going to come out of nowhere and save US by gosh.
– Batman
Hey, uh, listen. Do you think you can explain to me why I’m dressed like this? And what those big words in the sky were all about? And, like, where we are… in time?
– Emmet
Your home, Bricksburgh, is one of many realms in the universe. There’s also this one, Pirates Cove, Knights Club, Vikings Landing, Clown Town, and a bunch of others we don’t even mention. Lord Business, or as you think you know him, President Business, stole the Kragl, the most powerful object in the universe…
– Lucy
… blah, blah, blah. Proper name. Place name. Backstory stuff…
– Lucy
Mmm-hmmm
– Emmet
… is the Special. The Special…
– Lucy
… I’m so pretty. I like you. But I’m angry with you for some reason…
– Lucy
Mmm-hmmm
– Emmet
… put the Piece of Resistance onto the Kragl and disarm it forever!
– Lucy
Great. I think I got it. But just in case… tell me the whole thing again, I wasn’t listening.
– Emmet
Today will not be known as Taco Tuesday. It will be known as freedom Friday, but still on a Tuesday!
– Lucy
That’s the signal, but the shield is still up.
– Emmet
Then I guess we’ll just have to wing it.
– Batman
That’s a bat pun.
– Batman
Hey, I’m Ben! But you can call me Benny! And I can build a spaceship. Watch this.
– Benny
Spaceship! Spaceship! Spaceship! Spaceship! Spaceship!
– Benny
No! You can’t. The skies are surrounded.
– Lucy
That’s okay, I didn’t really wanna build a spaceship. Anyway, that’s cool.
– Benny
… Guarded by a robot army and secondary measures of every kind imaginable. Lasers, sharks, laser sharks, overbearing assistants…
– Metalbeard
