Back in badness. (taglines)
The Bad Guys
Mr. Wolf
- [from trailer] When it came to being bad, we were pretty good. Who am I kidding? We're the best.
- I am never driving another car ever again…! [smash cut to him driving in a more tacky and rundown vehicle in the present]
- Things sure have changed. Not everyone believes it, but The Bad Guys went good. And we cannot wait for society to welcome us with open arms!
- [Craig: And now you wanna work at a bank?] Why not? Some of my best memories are at banks. [Craig: Uh, you robbed us 3 times.] [Beat] That was this bank?
- You say the naughtiest things.
- [from trailer] Maybe you don't keep up with the news, but we're good now.
- Alright, Mr. Master of Disguise, you're up.
- Trust me, there's a difference. Respect is earned. One day you'll learn that.
- We need to show the world we're good.
- You're about to discover why they call me the big bad wolf!
- First time for everything, right?
- Not bad. Not bad at all.
Mr. Snake
- [Webs: Is she your hostage?] No. She's my girlfriend.
- I'm late for vinyasa. [Shark: Vinyasa?] You think I got this body by sitting around watching TV?
- [after he gets tied into a balloon animal by Pigtail; sarcastically] Great.
- We brought you a little parting gift.
- Vinyasa, baby!
- You're not nervous, right? 'Cause we know what happens when you're nervous.
- Stop farting, you maniac!
Mr. Piranha
- [from trailer] So you're like the Bad Girls.
- Sounds kind of made-up.
- Why is she in his mouth?!
- So, are we bad again?
- Tear him apart limb by limb until all he can remember is pain!
- [farts] Sorry. Sorry, nerves.
- Stay with me, papo! Stay with me!
Mr. Shark
- [Wolf: What?! What was that?!] I panicked, okay?! I'm a panicker!
- Insult me next!
- I'm a little rusty, but I promise to play you respectfully. [in Italian accent] Mamma mia! Where's-a my flowers-a? Prego! Cappuccino! Extra grande!
- WELCOME!!! WELCOME TO THIS BEAUTIFIUS, MAJESTACULAR, INCREDIMONIUS OCCASION! WHOOOOO!!!
- One of your size, and one of my size!
- You ever been deboned by a chicken?
Ms. Tarantula / "Webs"
- How are supposed to get a fresh start if no one would trust us?
- Name's Webs. I'll be your hacker today.
- We're classy like that.
- It's like a freaking fairy tale.
- Are you kidding me?! Lefty-loosey, righty-tighty.
The Bad Girls
Kitty Kat
- Once upon a time, there was a big bad "wuff".
- They call me the Phantom Bandit, but you can call me Kitty Kat. You met my girls.
- We need the bad guys for the biggest heist in history!
- [from trailer] I'm not exactly asking.
- You know, you think they're one thing but it turns out they're something else entirely.
- Play along and Diane's secret is safe, or don't, and you, the good life, it all comes crashing down.
Doom
- You talk pretty tough for a mango with teeth.
- You're a grumpy little snakey-wakey.
- I'm pulling your whiskers, whiskers.
- It's just business.
Pigtail
- Hello! [Webs: Holy shrimp!] I'm Pigtail! It was great honor to kick the butts of my heroes. The butts were even greater than in my dreams.
- Big crime nerd!
- Initiating backwards counting.
Diane Foxington
- [Wolf: I'm sorry, did you say you were the CRIMSON PAW?!?!] [kicks him] Sorry, I didn't quite catch that.
- I'm more of an action girl.
Misty Luggins
- I'm keeping my eye on you guy— [gets karate-chopped unconsciously by Shark]
Dialogue
- [Five years prior; Wolf drives the Bad Guys with their newly stolen getaway car, with Webs on her first heist with them. Wolf drives recklessly through the side streets to avoid police]
- Webs: Do you always drive like this?!
- Wolf: Only when it's strictly necessary.
- Snake: And it's always necessary.
- [Wolf and Diane spar in her private gym]
- Wolf: I'd be happier if I could land...[throws a few punches, which Diane dodges] one of these jobs.
- Diane: First impressions are hard to shake. [dodges a few more of Wolf's punches] Ooo, that was quick! [shoves Wolf back] I mean, when I first met you, I thought you were arrogant, self-satisfied...[does a spinning leg sweep, knocking Wolf over, but catching him by his chest pad before he falls] Dishonest...[chuckles] Greedy, for sure. [shoves Wolf back to where he stumbles into a punching dummy]
- Wolf: Oh yeah? What changed your mind?
- Diane: What do you mean? [walks to the nearby bench with a smirk, taking a drink from her water bottle and toweling off]
- Wolf: Ha-ha-ha, very funny. Seriously, it's hard to stay positive when we're being rejected. It makes you feel, I don't know, hopeless.
- Diane: [tosses the water bottle to Wolf to drink out of] Going good was the hardest thing that I ever did, and compared to you guys, I had it easy. [whispers to Wolf] No one ever knew I was the Crimson Paw.
- Wolf: [whispers back] I'm sorry, did you say you were...[shouts out loudly, to Diane's horror] THE CRIMSON PAW-!
- Diane: Hey! [promptly kicks Wolf across the gym, into a pile of gym mats] Sorry, I didn't quite catch that...
- [In the interior of a dilapidated hanger, the Bad Guys are slowly beginning to gain consciousness after they had passed out, only to find that they are strapped to chairs.]
- Wolf: [groans softly]
- Piranha: Where... where are we?
- Webs:: What's... happening?
- [As the rest of the crew gets their bearings, the sound of chains rattling gets their attention and their slight fear.]
- Kitty Kat: Once upon a time... [everyone turns to see Kitty behind them, pulling on chains near a giant melting furnace] ...there was a big, BAD wolf. Ooh, love that guy. What a character! [takes off her safety equipment as she walks toward them) He's the one who challenges the status quo, who takes the big chance! Without him... shoot, I don't even think we have a story. [takes off her apron) And they call him the villain. Kinda backwards, don't you think?
- Wolf: [confused] Do I know you?
- Kitty Kat: They call me the Phantom Bandit. Nice ring to it, I guess. [sits on the table] But you can call me... Kitty Kat. I see you've met my girls.
- [Pigtail jumps into view beside Webs and Shark.]
- Pigtail: Hello!
- Webs:: Holy shrimp!
- Pigtail: [gestures to her nametag on her overalls] I'm Pigtail. It was great honor to kick the butts of my heroes. The butts were even greater than my dreams. [chuckles]
- Kitty Kat: [chuckles] She's a huge fan.
- Pigtail: [gives thumbs up] Big crime nerd.
- Piranha: Thanks... I think. [the others glance at him]
- [Soon, they all look up to see Doom, aka Susan, glancing down at them from the rafters.]
- Piranha: Oh, hey, Susan!
- Doom: Actually... [tosses her knife down, which pierces the back of Snake's chair]
- Snake: Hey!
- Doom: [flies down from the rafters right down to Snake]] ...it's Doom. [pulls the knife out] Susan is an alias. [walks away]
- Snake: [looks visibly hurt] You lied to me.
- Piranha: That's alright, papito.
- Snake: Played me!
- Shark: Not cool, man.
- Snake: Betrayed me!
- Doom: Hey. Hey, listen. It's just business.
- Snake: You're...
- Shark: Shady.
- Snake: You're...
- Shark: Shady.
- Webs:: Let it out, buddy.
- Snake: [as "Crimson & Clover" by Tommy James plays, completely smitten] You are the perfect woman! She out-snaked a snake! If that's not true love, well... well, then I don't know what true love is.
- [song ends]
- Wolf: Snake... [sighs, stammers before dropping the subject] Okay. Kitty, y-you mind telling us what we're doing here?
- Kitty Kat: [unwraps a red lollipop] Cutting to the chase. I like it. We're planning something big. Only problem: It's too big for the three of us.
- Pigtail: You need work, we need extra hands.
- Doom: Professionals, you know? With a specific set of skills.
- Kitty Kat: One... last... job. [walks in front of Wolf] Whatcha say?
- Wolf: [chuckles] What do we say? No, uh, is the short answer. But, well, we're flattered. But, uh, the thing is, you know...
- Shark: We're good now!
- Piranha: Yeah. We don't steal stuff anymore.
- Wolf: Yeah, so if you can just, you know, untie us, and, uh, we'll let ourselves out. And we can just call it a noche, okay?
- Kitty Kat: [laughs, and soon, the Bad Guys start laughing with her... that is, until Kitty turns and slams her hands into the metal table, causing all laughter to cease. Then, after a moment, she speaks up again, smacking her lips] You know what? I love the red ones.
- [Doom uses her knife to cut down a rope, letting a tarp come down from the ceiling]
- Kitty Kat: Is it cherry? Is it strawberry? I'm not really sure. I can never tell. It's kind of like people, you know?
- [Webs sees Pigtail putting an USB drive into her laptop, and a projector comes on, causing Wolf and Snake to glance at each other]
- Kitty Kat: You think they're one thing, but it turns out they're something else entirely.
- [As everyone looks toward the screen, they find that the Bad Girls have somehow obtained video evidence of the Crimson Paw stealing the Golden Dolphin from the last film, and the Crimson Paw removing her hood to reveal that she is indeed Diane Foxington.]
- Wolf: [horrified] Diane...
- Shark: [gasps] She knows. [the other Bad Guys have the same horrified look on their faces]
- Kitty Kat: Can you imagine if this got out?
- Doom: The governor's secret past as the Crimson Paw? Whew! Talk about a scandal.
- Pigtail: [scoffs] She will be in the hot bubble water.
- Kitty Kat: So... [Doom kicks over a chair, and Kitty sits in front of Wolf] Let me rephrase the question. Play along, and Diane's secret is safe. Or don't, and you, Diane, the good life... it all comes crashing down. What'll it be?
- [Wolf looks back up at the video footage for a moment, knowing that there is no possible situation where the outcome is good before he eventually lowers his head and closes his eyes before speaking again.]
- Wolf: ...all right, hot sauce. What's the job?
- [Kitty opens the door to the hanger as everyone, including the Bad Guys, who have been untied, walks out into the open and stops at the edge of a cliff.]
- Kitty Kat: [gestures to something in the distance] That's the job.
- Snake: Whoa...
- Shark: [gasps]
- Wolf: Wow.
- [Pans out to reveal the target of the Bad Girls' job-- the Moon-X rocket at the nearby launch site.]
- Piranha: [whistles]
- Shark: That's the Moon-X rocket!
- Webs: Seriously?
- Doom: You better believe it, girl.
- Pigtail: Why steal a car when you can steal a big, jumbo rocket ship?
- Shark: [to Wolf] I think she's serious.
- Snake: Why would you want to steal a rocket?
- Kitty Kat: A heist is never just about the loot. Isn't that right, Wolf?
- Wolf: [remembers what he told Webs five years prior] It's a power move.
- Kitty Kat: Exactly. [wraps an arm around Wolf and ruffles the fur on his head] You get it-- he gets it!
- Pigtail: [laughs]
- Kitty Kat: All right, now, come on. [removes her arm from around Wolf] We've got work to do.
- Wolf: [adjusts his collar as the Bad Girls head back to the hanger] And after that, we're square, right? You're gonna give us the video?
- Kitty Kat: [still walking away, holds up the USB] Thieves' honor.
- Doom: [chuckles]
- Pigtail: This is gonna be gnarly. (chuckles) In the good way.
- Kitty Kat: Come on, y'all. We're going on a heist.
- [Once the Bad Guys are alone, they start talking again.]
- Piranha: So... are we bad again, or...?
- Wolf: You got to hand it to them. They thought of almost everything.
- Snake: "Almost"? [realizes] Oh, you've got an angle.
- Wolf: [scoffs] I've always got an angle. One last job, and after that, Little Miss Lollipop's gonna regret she ever met us.
- [After the MacGuffinite and Rocket was destroyed and Kitty saw outside, shock. which she is failed to steal all gold in space.]
- Kitty Kat: NO! [angrily] How do you expect to get back to Earth, without a shuttle?!
- Wolf: At least there's an Earth to go- [Until Kitty attacks and strangled him]
- Kitty Kat: [Last Words] You destroyed my beautiful plan!
- [When Kitty Kat is just about to kill Wolf, then someone showed up beating her and letting Wolf go as he saw that it was Diane appearing in the space station and Diane attacks Kitty and knocking her unconscious in a rage, screaming furiously. Then Wolf saw Diane in surprise.]
- Diane: What did I tell you about messing with my friends?
- Wolf: Wha-- How did you... [Goes to Diane, happily.]
- Diane: Wolf, we got-- Oh. [Wolf hugs Diane; then she hugs him back, then Wolf begins to explain to Diane sadly that he's failed to stop Kitty uploading the video to internet for keeping her secret identity.]
- Wolf: We tried to stop her from posting... [But then Diane grabs his jacket and kissed him for the first time, and they float. The he gestured for her and they break apart] Wow. What happened to medium friends?
- Diane: [Chuckles] Well, good thing i'm not I'm not the governor anymore, huh? [Then they share another kiss again until Snake appeared, disgusted.]
- Snake: Ugh, Gross.
