(Roxanne Ritchi: Megamind, I don't even know if you're listening, but if you are, you can't give up.

I wanted you to learn something. (Hogarth Hughes: What can I learn from you?) You can learn this, Hogarth: that I can do anything I want whenever I want if I feel it's in the people's best interest.

(tosses him a photo of the piece of metal that Hogarth lured the Giant with) (Hogarth doesn't answer) No? How 'bout this? (tosses him the picture Hogarth accidentally took of himself - with the Giant behind him) You've been careless, Hogarth. (Hogarth Hughes: It doesn't prove anything!) It's enough to get the Army here with one phone call. (Hogarth Hughes (disgusted): Then what's stopping you?) (Kent pushes the light in anger) WHERE'S THE GIANT?! (grabs Hogarth by the jaw) You can't protect him, Hogarth - any more than you can... protect your mother. (Hogarth Hughes (worried): My mom?) (Kent lets go of Hogarth's jaw and sighs) It's difficult to raise a boy all alone. We can make it more difficult. (becoming more devious) In fact, we can make it so difficult that it would be irresponsible for us to leave you in her care. And all of that implies... you'll be taken away from her, Hogarth. (Hogarth Hughes, shocked: You can't do that!) Oh, we can... and we will. (Hogarth Hughes (sees that there is now no other alternative and looks down in defeat as he confesses about the Giant's whereabouts): He's in the junkyard. McCoppin's Scrap, off Culver Road.)

Just the old Crusade wound playing up a bit! [nervous chuckle] I'll just stretch it out here for a while.) (Harold closes the balcony doors; then he turns to the Fairy Godmother, who doesn't look happy at all.) You better get in. We need to talk. (King Harold: Actually, Fairy Godmother, off to bed. Already taken my pills, and they tend to make me a bit drowsy. So, how about... [a huge bulky valet walks up behind Harold and glares menacingly at him] ...we make this a quick visit. What?) (He's thrown into the coach.) (King Harold [to another bulky valet]: Oh, hello. [chuckles nervously]) (Harold sits between the two muscular valets as the coach flies into the night) (King Harold: So, what's new?) You remember my son, Prince Charming? (points to Charming sitting next to her) (King Harold: Charming! Oh! Is that you? My gosh! It's been years! W-w-when did you get back?) (Prince Charming: Oh, about five minutes ago, actually. [yelling] After I endured blistering winds, scorching deserts, I CLIMBED to the highest room of the tallest tower, and--) (Fairy Godmother cuts him off) Mommy can handle this. He endures BLISTERING WINDS and SCORCHING DESERT! He climbs to the highest bloody room of the tallest bloody tower! (King Harold: But-But-) And what does he find? Some gender-confused wolf telling him that his princess... (King Harold: If I could just--) ...IS ALREADY MARRIED! (King Harold: It wasn't my fault. He didn't get there in time.) STOP THE CAR! (The coach grinds to a halt) Harold... (the brawny valets crack their knuckles) You force me to do something I really don't want to do! (King Harold: Uh, where are we?) (Fast Food Clerk: Hi. Welcome to Friar's Fat Boy! May I take your order?) My diet is ruined! I hope you're happy. (Fairy Godmother turns to the clerk.) Err, okay. Two Renaissance Wraps, no mayo, chili rings. (Prince Charming: I'll have the Medieval Meal.) One Medieval Meal and, Harold. Curly fries? (King Harold: No thank you.) Sourdough soft taco, then? (King Harold: No, really, I'm fine.) (Fast Food Clerk [handing the Fairy Godmother her meal]: Your order, Fairy Godmother. (pulls out a battle axe) And this comes with the Medieval Meal.) There you are, dear. (Fairy Godmother hands the axe to Charming and the Coach flies off) We made a deal, Harold, and I assume you don't want me to go back on my part. (King Harold:  Indeed not.) So, Fiona and Charming will be together. (King Harold: Yes.) Oh, believe me, Harold. It's what's best. Not only for your daughter... (she munches her wrap) ...but for your Kingdom. (The fairy coach returns to the balcony. Harold's pushed out.) (King Harold: But what am I supposed to do about it?) (The Fairy Godmother tosses the axe into Harold's hands.) Use your imagination. (Fairy Godmother slams the carriage door shut and it jets off into the sky. Harold clutches the big double-bladed axe as he watches the carriage speed into the distance.)"

- The Fairy Godmother threatening King Harold get Shrek out of the picture and have her son Prince Charming marry Fiona as they had originally planned.

"(George has set up a camera on something low to film himself playing basketball when Sam passes by, then curiously looks at the camera and picks it up, soon noticed by George.) Hey! What do you think you're doing?! (He runs towards Sam and tackles him to the ground, causing him to drop the camera, which is still filming, and it shoots the whole fight on tape.) You're a punk, Sam! (Sam: Get off!) I ought to kill you! (People start gathering around to watch the fight.) You fucking dickhead! I told you! Never touch my camera! (Sam: Stop!) Didn't I, fucker?! You little wimp! Bitch! Pussy, I told you! I ought to fucking kill you! (He holds Sam by the neck with his arm in a headlock.) And I will kill you, you punk, if I ever catch you fuckin' with my camera again! (He throws Sam aside to the ground, gets up and leaves, pushing onlookers out of his way.) Get out of my way!"

- George Tooney threatens to kill Sam Merrick if he ever catches the latter playing around with the former's camera again.
