The Emoji Movie Page #2

Synopsis: The Emoji Movie unlocks the never-before-seen secret world inside your smartphone. Hidden within the messaging app is Textopolis, a bustling city where all your favorite emojis live, hoping to be selected by the phone's user. In this world, each emoji has only one facial expression - except for Gene, an exuberant emoji who was born without a filter and is bursting with multiple expressions. Determined to become "normal" like the other emojis, Gene enlists the help of his handy best friend Hi-5 and the notorious code breaker emoji Jailbreak. Together, they embark on an epic "app-venture" through the apps on the phone, each its own wild and fun world, to find the Code that will fix Gene. But when a greater danger threatens the phone, the fate of all emojis depends on these three unlikely friends who must save their world before it's deleted forever.

Fist Bump. Come on in.

Hey.

Fist Bump? He's a knucklehead. Literally.

Look at him. I can look like that.

Cramp. Huge mistake.

Help. Help me. Help up the hand.

There you go.

Thanks, mate.

Hey, little Meh, how about you create a distraction,

and then I'll just slip under the rope?

Is someone lost?

Smiler, hi. Just leaving.

Yeah, you know, just killing time

before I go back to my cube in the far corner

where Alex can't even see me anymore!

You may not be a favorite anymore,

but you will always have a place in the cube.

Yeah, in the nosebleeds.

I'm standing right here. Words hurt.

The most important thing I can tell you is to just be yourself.

Blah.

I was made to be happy, so I am always smiling.

Places, please. Emojis to your cubes.

Attention. We've got incoming.

Got to be meh. Got to be meh.

My gosh, my own cube.

I can't believe it. I could put a plant over here.

And over here could go an inspirational calendar.

Okay. Got to be meh. Got to be meh.

Look at our son down there.

I'm just beaming

with pride.

You don't think he'll actually get picked, do you?

Hie-ro-gly-phics.

Hieroglyphics was an ancient language of picture forms.

Does that remind anyone of anything?

Hello? A language of pictures. Anyone?

Early hieroglyphs date back as far as 3,300...

I got to reply to Addie's text.

What should I write?

Nothing.

Words aren't cool.

Okay. Be cool. Be cool.

All right, Alex is not sure how he wants to play this.

I would really love it to be me.

Beam me up! Beam me up!

I need Thumbs Up on standby.

Yeah! Thumbs Up is going in!

Wait! Alex is changing his mind.

He's moving.

Okay. Looks like it's gonna be Meh.

I'm so nervous, I could almost shrug.

We are go for Meh.

Initiating scan.

Okay. You can do this.

I can't do this! I can't do it!

What is this?

Stop the scan!

I can't! It's too late!

Meh, meh, meh, meh. My goodness, I'm freaking out!

What's he doing?

He's making the wrong face!

Good for him! Little... Wait, what?

Be meh! Be meh! Be meh!

Abort! Abort!

Shut it down! Shut it down!

What is that emoji?

Wrong emoji sent! Evacuate the Meh cube!

Evacuate the cube!

I got to get out of here.

Get that bozo out of there!

I'm trying!

No!

My God.

The humanity.

Medic.

Sorry, everybody. That was not what I meant to do.

I kinda...

I kinda panicked.

Are you even a Meh at all?

Course he is.

He's my spitting image.

If you have expressions other than meh,

what you are is a malfunction.

Malfunction?

No! I can be meh. Just give me one more chance.

That's not gonna happen.

You know what would be really fun?

A board meeting.

Where we could figure out what to do with you!
