[Mr. Incredible confronts a French, mime-like, clown-like super villain named Bomb Voyage]

Mr. Incredible:
Bomb Voyage.

Voyage:
Monsieur Incroyable...! [Mr. Incredible...!]

Buddy:
[offscreen] And IncrediBoy!

[Buddy himself breaks through the window.]

Voyage:
IncrediBoy?

Buddy:
[flies up to Mr. Incredible, using rocket boots] Hey! Hey! Aren't you curious on how I get around so fast? [shows Mr. Incredible his rocket boots] See? I have these rocket boots. And they--

Mr. Incredible:
Go away, Buddy.

Buddy:
What?

Mr. Incredible:
I work alone.

Voyage:
Petit naïf libe...! [Little oaf...!]

[Buddy looks at Voyage]

Buddy:
Can we talk? [pulls Mr. Incredible off to the side] You always, say, "Be true to yourself.", but you never say which part of yourself to be true to! Well I've finally figured out who I am! [walks up to Mr. Incredible] I am your ward: IncrediBoy!

Mr. Incredible:
And now, you have officially gone too far, Buddy. [grabs Voyage before he can escape]

Buddy:
This is because I'd have powers, isn't it? Well, not every superhero has powers, y'know! You can be super without them! I invented these. [points to his rocket boots] I can fly! Can you fly?

Mr. Incredible:
Fly home, Buddy. I work alone.

Voyage:
Et ton costume est complètement ridicule! [And your outfit is totally ridiculous!]

Buddy:
Could you just gimme one chance! Look, I'll show you! I'll go get the police!

[Voyage has attached a bomb to Buddy's cape; Mr. Incredible notices]

Mr. Incredible:
Buddy! No!

Buddy:
It'll only take a second, really!

Mr. Incredible:
No! Stop it! [releases Voyage] There's a bomb! [grabs onto Buddy's cape]

[Edna shows Helen the other suits she has created for the Parrs]

Edna:
I started with the baby.

Helen:
Started?

Edna:
Shh! Darling! Shh! I cut it a little roomy for the free movement. The fabric is comfortable for sensitive skin [flamethrowers throw fire at the suit without leaving burn marks], and it can also withstand a temperature of over 1,000 degrees! Completely bulletproof. [machine guns train on the suit and empty rounds into it without causing any damage] And machine-washable, darling. That's a new feature.

Helen:
What on earth do you think the baby will be doing?!

Edna:
Well, I'm sure I don't know, darling. Luck favors the prepared. I didn't know the baby's powers, so I covered the basics.

Helen:
Jack-Jack doesn't have any powers.

Edna:
No? He'll look fabulous anyway. [moves on to Dash's suit] Your boy's suit I designed to withstand enormous friction without heating up or wearing out. A useful feature. [moves on to Violet's] Your daughter's suit was tricky, but I finally created a sturdy material that will disappear completely as she does. [moves on to Helen's new suit] Your suit can stretch as far as you can, without injuring yourself [the suit is being stretched like a piece of taffy], and still retain its shape. Virtually indestructible. [two missiles fire at the suit, but the suit sustains to damage whatsoever] Yet it breathes like Egyptian cotton. As an extra feature, each suit contains a homing device, giving you the precise global location of the wearer at the touch of a button. [hands Helen one showing the tracking location of one of the suits] Well, darling? What do you think?

Helen:
What do I think?! Bob is retired! I'm retired, our family is underground! You helped my husband resume secret hero-work behind my back?!

Edna:
Well, I assumed you knew, darling! Why would he keep secrets from you?

Helen:
He wouldn't. Didn't-- D-Doesn't.

Edna:
[sighs] Men at Robert's age are often unstable. Prone to weakness.
