The Emoji Movie Page #3

I knew there was something wrong with him.

A malfunction?

What's gonna happen to him?

He can't work on the phone.

What would Alex think?

What do his parents think?

I just wanted to be useful, you know? Fit in.

Now everybody thinks I'm a malfunction.

I am a malfunction.

Even if you are a malfunction, Gene,

your mom and dad still love ya.

I knew you weren't ready.

Let's get you out of here and take you home.

One day, all this will blow over,

and everyone will almost forget about what you did.

Until then,

you should probably stay locked up in the apartment.

Wait. You want to hide me away?

You're embarrassed of me.

It's for your own safety.

We're trying to protect you, son.

Gene? Where are you going?

I'm not gonna run away from this.

I'm an emoji, and even though I'm not sure exactly which one,

I've got to have some sort of purpose here.

I know it.

Gene, no.

Sweetie, please.

Boy.

A malfunction...

Order! Order!

The motion is carried.

So, how'd it go, Gavel?

Hey, Light Bulb, tell me what's going on in there.

What? Poop, what is it?

Tell me, turd. Tell me true. What happened?

I know it was an accident. We all have accidents.

You're so soft, Poop.

Not too soft, I hope.

Gene!

We were just gonna come looking for you.

Why don't you come inside the boardroom,

and we can have a teeny, weeny chat.

Um, I came up here to defend myself, but you seem pretty happy.

So, good news?

Right. I'm always happy.

Right. Hashtag truth.

Well, the only thing that could ever make me unhappy

is if one of our emoji team made a mistake,

which caused Alex to lose faith in the phone.

And then our whole world gets wiped out.

Smiler, I double-pinky-swear promise to you

that I will never, ever make a mistake in the cube again.

We know you won't, Gene.

We know you won't.

You know, the first time you said it,

it sounded genuine, but then you repeated it,

and then, that was weird.

That's because we're setting you up

with our best Anti-Virus Bots.

So, they'll like... They'll just... They're gonna fix me?

Actually, delete you. But yes!

If you get deleted,

you don't have to worry about

what your purpose is or the future

or why you're such a malfunction.

'Cause you're deleted, right?

All right, good talk.

Bots!

No!

Don't let him escape!

Party time! Wait a minute...

The air is better here.

Beer, Tea.

I'm Coffee!

Sorry. Sheesh. So edgy.

My old cube.

Take a hike, Mike.

-My name's not Mike.

-What?

There's AV Bots coming!

For me?

Just because I'm in the wrong section?

Holy deleto!

What do we do?

Quick! This way!

Let's go.

Don't tell anyone you're about to see this.

They'll never find us down here.

Where are we? The basement?
