  • When you guys tracked me down after responding to my ad, my first thought was "Where did all these little tater-tots come from, and where did they find so much denim?"
  • Distinguished villains, my name is Gru, i feel like i'm talking too loud, even though our proximity doesn't require this kind of volume.
  • I'm pretty despicable, you don't want to cross me.
  • Otto, you take the stone back to the lair, and i'll distract them.
  • This kid just stole something from the worst villains in the world.
  • Is this--? Are you pulling on my legs right now? Otto, where's the stone?
  • Did you just... trade my future... FOR A PET ROCK?! [Otto says "Yes" in Spanish] OK. Otto, where was this birthday party?
  • Alright, alright, i’m not mini, please stop calling me that.
  • My minions will save me.
  • Minions, assemble.
  • My mom was right, you don't belong here, you're fired!
  • I'm going to find that stone and when i get home, you all better be gone.
  • My mom will probably pay you to keep me.
  • And Otto, close your yapper!
  • Otto, it's Mini-Boss.
  • Otto, I'm so proud of you that you found the stone.
  • Obviously, you guys are rehired.
  • [last lines] "Big Boss"! I like that.

  • Ooh, baby, the Anti-Villain League can't catch this. Guess who stole the map?
  • You seriously think this puny, little child can be a villain?
  • Come back when you've done something evil to impress me!
  • We're coming for you, Mr. Gru!
  • Oh, I didn't mean to scare you. Now, where's Gru?
  • Long time no see, punk! [takes the Zodiac Stone out of Gru's hands] I'll take that!
  • Whoa, whoa, whoa, everybody! [holds up the Zodiac Stone] Did you forget what time it is? [the clock strikes midnight] HAPPY NEW YEAR! [transforms into a huge purple Chinese dragon]
  • Enjoy being torn apart!
  • Why don't we make this a fair fight? [laughs evilly]

[The Minions gasp in shock as one of them faints]
Gru: I'm going to find that stone and when I get home, you all better be gone.

Gru: And Otto, close your yapper!
Otto: Oh.

Wild Knuckles: Somebody bring me a phone, call home, it's ransom time.
Gru: No, no, no! My mom will probably pay you to keep me!
Wild Knuckles: Good one. Call.

Marlena: [after the Vicious 6 leave the house] You better be paying for my roof.

Gru: One day, i hope to fake my own death to escape the authorities.
Wild Knuckles: Shoot for the moon, kid, Shoot for the moon.

Chinese Dragon Belle: [picking up Gru as he tries to escape] No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, NO! Where do you think you're going? Hmm? You stole from us, and now you're gonna pay. [ties him up to the clock tower] Enjoy being torn apart.
