[We see deep within the Lego mountain Vitruvius is guarding something when he senses someone approaching]
Vitruvius: He is coming. Cover your butt.
Guard: Cover the what?
[Lord Business bursts in killing the guards and does an evil laugh]
Lord Business: Vitruvius!
Vitruvius: Lord Business.
Lord Business: You've hidden the Kragle well, old man. [turning to his army of Lego robots] Robots, destroy him!
Robots: Yes, Lord Business.
Vitruvius: Your robots are no match for a Master Builder! For I see everything! (gets blinded) My eyes!
Lord Business: The Kragle the most powerful super weapon in the universe is mine! Oh the Kragle! (evil laugh) Now my evil power will be unlimited! Can you feel me?
Robot (monotone): I can feel you.
[his robots start carrying the Kragle away]
Lord Business: Wooh! Nothing’s gonna stop me now!
Vitruvius: (weak) Wait! There is a prophecy.
Lord Business: (grumbles, complaints) Oh, now there's a prophecy. [he turns to Vitruvius]
Vitruvius: (cont'd) About the Piece of Resistance.
Lord Business: Oh, yes, the supposed missing Piece of Resistance that can somehow magically disarm the Kragle. Gimme a break!
[Vitruvius rises and turns to face Lord Business, suddenly his eyes shine brightly]
Vitruvius: One day a talented lass or fellow, a Special one with face of yellow, will make the Piece of Resistance found from its hiding refuge underground. And with a noble army at the helm, this Master Builder will thwart the Kragle and save the realm, and be the greatest, most interesting, most important person of all times. All this is true, because it rhymes.
Lord Business: Oh, well. That was a great inspiring legend that you made up. [suddenly he kicks Vitruvius with his giant robot leg off the edge of the cliff] "A Special one?" What a bunch of hippy dippy baloney!
[8 and a half years later; Emmet Brickowoski waking up in his apartment and turns off his alarm, he gets out bed yaws and stretches and walks through to his living room]
Emmet Brickowoski: Good morning, apartment! Good morning, doorway! Good morning, wall. Good morning, ceiling. Good morning, floor! Ready to start the day! [he grabs a book from a shelf] Ah, here it is! [reading from the manual] The instructions to fit in, have everybody like you, and always be happy! Step one; breathe. [Emmet inhales and exhales deeply] Okay, got that one down. Step two; greet the day, smile and say...
[We see all the Lego citizens opening their window and yelling]
Lego Citizens: Good morning, city!
[ the citizens all say good morning city]
Citizen: Good morning, city!
Citizen: Top of the Morning to you, City!
[Back to Emmet continuing with the instructions from the manual]
Emmet Brickowoski: Step three; exercise. Jumping Jacks him 'em! [he start jumping on the spot] One! Two! Three! I am so pumped up! [looking at the manual again] Step four; shower. [Emmet gets in the shower and starts washing himself] And always be sure to keep the soap out of your eyaaahh! [he screams as the soap gets into his eyes] [next we see Emmet standing in front of the bathroom mirror shaving] Shave your face, brush your teeth. Comb your hair. [he laughs to himself as he brushes his hair] Wear clothes. [we see Emmet walking out of his apartment naked until he realizes] Woop! Almost forgot that one! [he turns back into his apartment and we see him quickly trying on different outfits] No. No. Uh-uh. No. Not that. Wrong. [he finally wears his construction uniform] And that's it, check. Step nine; eat a complete breakfast with all the special people in your life. [we see him sitting in his living room eating his breakfast alone, he turns to his plant] Hey, planty! What do you want to do this morning? Watch TV? Me too! [he turns on the TV showing President Business giving a presentation]
President Business: Hi, I'm President Business, president of the Octan Corporation and the World. Let's all take extra care to follow the instructions... [whispers into microphone] ...or you WILL be put to sleep. [shouting] And DON'T forget Taco Tuesday's coming next week! That's the day every rule following citizen gets a free taco and my love! Have a great day, everybody!
Emmet Brickowoski: You have a great day too, President Business. Man, he's such a cool guy. I always wanna hear more of...wait! Did he say put to sleep?! [suddenly Emmet gets distracted by the TV showing a promo of a sitcom]
TV Presenter: Tonight on "Where are my Pants?"
Actor on TV Show: Honey? Where are my pants?
[he steps out showing that he's not wearing any pants and we hear canned laughter, Emmet laughs hard at this and falls of the couch]
Emmet Brickowoski: What was I just thinking? I don't care. Step eleven; greet your neighbors. [we see Emmet walking to work and saying hi to everyone he passes] Hey, Joe.
Joe: Hey, pal.
[Joe, carrying a massive pole turns nearly hitting Emmet who quickly ducks]
Emmet Brickowoski: Woh. [Emmet spots someone he knows across the street] Hey, Surfer Dave.
Surfer Dave: Hey, brah. [walking down the street]
Emmet Brickowoski: Oh, good morning, Sharon.
Sharon: Oh, hey, pal.
[suddenly her cats starts walking out of her apartment]
Emmet Brickowoski: Oh, hey, Jasmine. Dexter. Andy! Loki, Brad, Leroy, Fluffy, Fluffy Junior, Fluffy Senior, Jeff. [Emmet gets into car and drives into work] Step twelve; obey all traffic signs and regulations. Step thirteen; enjoy popular music. [he turns on the radio]
Radio DJ: Top of the charts again, it's "Everything is Awesome".
Emmet Brickowoski: Oh, my gosh! I love this song!
[the music starts playing]
Music on Radio: Everything is awesome. Everything is cool when you're part of a team. Everything is awesome when you're living a dream.
Emmet Brickowoski: Always use the turn signal, park between the lines. [Emmet and everyone else parks in exactly the same way] Yes! Drop off dry cleaning before noon, read the headlines, don't forget to smile. [we waves and smiles to everyone as he walks down the street] Always root for the local sports team.
[Emmet and the Lego citizens shouts]
Lego Citizens: Go, sports team!
Emmet Brickowoski: Always return a compliment. [to the male Lego citizen stepping out of the coffee shop] Hey, you look nice. [everyone turns to Emmet]
Lego Citizens: So do you!
Emmet Brickowoski: Drink overpriced coffee! [inside the coffee shop he buys a coffee]
Larry The Barrista: There you go. That's thirty-seven dollars.
[Emmet looks at him for a moment before replying with excitement]
Emmet Brickowoski: Awesome!
[Emmet walks to work with his 'overpriced coffee' following the line of all the other construction workers doing exactly the same
Construction Worker: Did you see "Where are my Pants?" last night? [everyone replies at the same time] Classic episode.
[the Everything is Awesome" music continues to play in the background as the Lego construction workers get into position]
Foreman: Instructions coming in from central. Okay, it says here that anything that's weird then blow it up. [the workers start blowing up the buildings] Alright, everyone, let's make it look exactly like it does in the instruction.
Construction Worker #1: Hey, buddy! I need one-by-two keyhole!
Emmet Brickowoski: No, problem, Michael.
Construction Worker #2: Two-by-two macaroni over here.
Emmet Brickowoski: Two-by-tow macaroni flying in. Here's one, Mel.
[ Everyone chatters around]
Construction Worker #2B Cheese slopes! Cheese slopes! Come on, everybody!
Emmet Brickowoski: Roger that, Roger.
[ Everyone chatters around]
Emmet Brickowoski: Hey, Gail.
Construction Worker #3: Hey, guys. Watch me drill this down. [ everyone cheers.]
[they all start singing along to "Everything is Awesome"]
Emmet Brickowoski: Man, I feel so good right now! I can sing this song for hours!
[5 Hours Later; everyone at the construction site is still singing "Everything is Awesome" and it's finally coming to the end of the day]
Construction Worker #1: When you're part of a team! Woo
