Syndrome Voice Over Attempt
The Incredibles 2004\
Directed by Brad Bird
Produced by Pixar Animations Studio
[Bob turns to run, but the Omnidroid is fast. It grabs him and flings him into the outside air. Bob sails to the edge of the jungle, landing with a thud. Before he can react, the robot has him again and slams him into the ground. A voice comes over a loudspeaker.]
Syndrome: It’s bigger! It’s badder!
[The robot seizes Bob in one giant claw, turning two others into whirling blades. They close in on Bob’s neck — when Syndrome descends from the sky on jet-boots, landing on top of the enormous robot.
Syndrome: Ladies and gentlemen, it’s.... too much for Mr. lncredible!!
[Syndrome reveals himself.]
Syndrome: Whoa, Whoa! Whoa! It’s finally ready!
[He shuts down the blades of the Omnidroid.]
Syndrome: You know, I went through quite a few supers to get it worthy to fight you, but man, it wasn’t good enough!! After you trashed the last one, I had to make some major modifications. Sure it was difficult, but you are worth it. I mean, after all... I am your biggest fan.
[Bob suddenly recognizes some familiarity with his rejected sidekick]
Bob (Mr. Incredible): Buddy?
Syndrome: My name is not BUDDY!!
[The Omnidroid throws Bob on the floor. Syndrome lands.]
Syndrome: And it’s not lncrediBoy either! That ship has sailed. All I wanted was to help you. I only wanted to HELP! AND WHAT DID YOU SAY TO ME??
[FLASHBACK: MR. INCREDIBLE & BUDDY 15 YEARS EARLIER]
[A shot from the prologue, softened by memory. A young Mr. Incredible warns Buddy/IncrediBoy.]
Bob (Mr. Incredible): Fly home, Buddy. I work alone.
[Continue — BUDDY IN HIS BEDROOM]
[Still in his IncrediBoy costume, but without the mask, Buddy glowers up at his bedroom wall, a shrine to Mr. Incredible. He tears a poster off the wall.]
Syndrome [as the flashback ends]: It tore me apart. But I learned an important lesson: You can’t count on ANYONE. ESPECIALLY your heroes.
Bob (Mr. Incredible): Look, I was wrong to treat you that way.... I’m sorry! But you’re making a big problem since a long time ago!
Syndrome: See? Now you respect me, because I’m a threat. That’s the way it works! Turns out there’s a lot of people, whole countries who want respect. And they will pay through the nose to get it. How do you think I got rich? I build weapons. And now I have a weapon only I can defeat. And when I unleash it, I’ll get— Ah! [Mr. Incredible throws a log at Syndrome, but he dodges it hastily. He gets back up and freezes Mr. Incredible with a zero-point energy beam] [laughing] You sly dog! You got me monologuing! I can’t believe it.... [He slams Bob into the ground.] It’s cool, huh? Zero-point energy. I saved the best powers for myself. [He continues throwing Bob around with the ZPE ray.] Am I good enough now? Who’s super now?? I’m Syndrome! Your nemesis and- [He makes a grandiose gesture with his arms, inadvertently flinging Mr. Incredible into the jungle.] Oh, brilliant.
