- [first lines; voiceover] Here's my day so far. Went to jail, lost the girl of my dreams, and got my butt kicked pretty good. But still, things could be a lot worse. Oh, that's right. I'm falling to my death. I guess they can't. How did it all come to this, you asked? My end starts at the beginning. The very beginning.
- Was this my destiny? Wait, maybe it was. Being bad is the one thing I'm good at. Then it hit me. If I was the bad boy, then I was going to be the baddest boy of them all! I was destined to be a supervillain, and we were destined to be rivals. The die had been cast, and so began an enduring, epic, lifelong career, and I loved it!
- [after "defeating" Metro Man] Metrocity is mine!
- [repeated line] Ollo.
- Okay, Minion. You were right. I was… less right.
- I'm the villain, and you're the good guy! I do something bad and you come and get me. That's why I created you!
- [voiceover] So, this is how it ends. Normally I'd chalk this up to my last glorious failure. But not today! What can I say? Old habits die hard.
- Alright. Put your hands in the air. [The crowd cheers] Now hand over your wallets! [The crowd gasps] I'm just kidding! Hahahahaha! Just kidding!
- You fell for the oldest evil trick in the book!
- [from the trailer] Let the showdown begin!
- Although getting a whole museum is super-cool you want to know what the greatest honor you've given me is? Do you really want to know? Really? I'll tell you. The greatest honor you've given me is letting me serve you, the helpless people of Metro City.
- Who's your man? [ Crowd : Metro Man!] Yeah, Metro City!
- [ Man : I love you, Metro Man!] And I love you, random citizen! Hahahaha!
- I started to realize, despite all my powers, each and every citizen of Metro City had something I didn't - a choice. Ever since I can remember, I've always had to be what this city wanted me to be. What about what I wanted to do? Then it suddenly hit me - I do have a choice! I can be whatever I wanna be! No one said that this hero thing had to be a lifetime gig. You can't just quit either. That's when I got the brilliant idea... to fake my death. Once your death ray hit, I've never felt so alive. So I borrowed a prop from a nearby nursing school. Metro Man was finally dead! And Music Man was born. [ Roxie : Music Man?] That way I can keep my logo.
- [to Megamind] You know, little buddy. There's a yin for every yang. If there's bad, good will rise up against it. It's taken me a long time to find my calling. Now, it's about time you find yours.
- [to Megamind] Way to go, little buddy. I knew you had it in him.
Roxanne "Roxie" Richie
- [Megamind, who is disguised as Bernard, starts to cry] Bernard, I didn't know you had feelings. Are you OK?
- [looking around, while being held captive in Megamind's lair] Is there some kind of nerdy super-villain website where you get Tesla coils and blinky dials?
- [sees Megamind in shock, thinking he kidnapped Bernard] Megamind, what have you done with Bernard?
- [her eulogy for Metro Man] He was always there for us. Dependable. Perhaps we took him for granted. You know, maybe, we never really know how good we have it until it's gone. We miss you, Metro Man. I miss you. And I have just one question for Megamind: Are you happy now? This is Roxanne Ritchi, reporting from the city without a hero. Coming up next: are you ready to be a slave army? What you need to know.
- Well, let's take a look at the contents then, shall we? You destroyed Metro Man, you took over the city, and then... you actually got me to care about you! Why are you so evil? Tricking me? What could you possibly hope to gain? Wait a minute. I don't believe this. Do you really think that I would ever be with you?
- You're alive? [ Megamind : You're alive.] [ Metro Man : I'm alive.] But I… But I… We… We saw your skeleton. You were dead.
- Megamind… I don't even know if you're listening, but if you are, you can't give up! The Megamind I know would never run from a fight, even if he knew he had no chance of winning! It was your best quality. You need to be that guy right now! This city needs you! I need you.
- Pity, you didn't go to my school.
Hal Stewart
- [from the trailer] Consider yourselves under new management.
- [after Megamind and Minion break into his apartment room] Is this a robbery? Because the lady across the hall has way better stuff than me!
- Being a hero is for losers! It's work, work, work, 24/7, and for what? I only took the gig to get the girl, and it turns out Roxanne doesn't want anything to do for me. [ Megamind : Roxanne Ritchi?] Yeah, Roxanne Ritchi. I saw her having dinner and making googly eyes at some intellectual dweeb.
- What were you saying? I'm sorry, I was too busy saving your life!
- I'm the superhero, you're supposed to be with ME!
- [about teaming up with Megamind] I even drew up some new costume designs, see? [holds out pieces of paper] You'd be the brain so you'd get a little brain, wearing glasses on your costume or something, and since I'm the cool one, I'd have, like, two tanks swordfighting...
- [after realizing Megamind was his Space Dad] You tricked me?
- When I get my hands on you, I'm gonna--! [ Megamind : Yes! Yes, I know! Bring me to justice. Oh, God, how I've missed this!]
- Come out, you little freak! I wanna see what that big brain looks like on the pavement!
- [beating up Megamind] This one's for stealing my girlfriend! This one's for Space Dad making a fool out of me! And Megamind, this one's for Space Stepmom! You LIED TO HER!
- You... should STOP comparing me to Metro Man!
- Hey, Metro-losers. This is Metro Tower. They say it's supposed to be a symbol of our city's strength. But for me, it's a reminder of the day this woman ferociously ripped out my heart. And I hate reminders!
- You're so naive, Roxie. You see the good in everyone, even when it's not there. You're living a fantasy. There is no Easter Bunny , there is no Tooth Fairy , and there is no Queen of England . This is the real world, and you need to wake up!
- [last lines] I'm bad! I'm bad! That's right! Yeah!
- I'm calling it... the Black Mamba!
- [ Megamind : Code: Get The Car.] Code: Right Away, Sir.
- Newscaster : We now have confirmed reports. Titan, first thought to be the city's new hero, has turned evil. The city has never seen this level of destruction. If only Metro Man was still alive.
- Man in Crowd : [repeated line] Hey! My kid can't see.
