Ah! 27 seconds and counting!

No! Stop guessing "dentist"!

Come on, Chum.

It's scary, it's got a
big mouth, little arms

[beeping speeds up] -Oh! I
know! A shark, but with arms!

A shark but with arms?!
That's your guess?!

A T-Rex, Chum! It was a T-Rex!

- [relaxed] Sorry, not sorry.

So this is like regular
"Guess That Thing,"

but with electric shocks.

Yeah, painful ones!
Well, except for Chum.

The wattage is pretty
calming on his circuits.

[relaxed, slurring]
It thure is, Kreiko.

This is how we do game night
at the lair, dear Roxie!

Now, are you ready
to guess that thing?

Let's do this!

- [beep]
- Megamind: Uh, okay!

This thing is... Um...

Oh, sorry. My brilliant
brain keeps thinking of.

Old English synonyms you
couldn't possibly know.

[British accent] Try me. I'm
no Yorkshire raggedy fishwife.

Oh. I've never heard that one.

- [normal] I-I made it up! Keep going!
- Okay!

Remember one time when I
was evil and captured you?

This is what I dangled you over

- by the thinnest of strings...
- [beeping speeds up]

Uh, genetically
modified piranhas!

- Mm, no, the other time.
- Quicksand!

- No, no! A different time!
- Bear traps!

- Yes! I dangled you over a pit of bear traps!
- Whew.

- [beeping stops]
- That was close.

[sighs] Almost as close as
you got to those bear traps.

[Keiko laughs]

Piranhas? Bear traps?

You guys have the
weirdest friendship ever!

I think we have a
perfectly normal

villain-turned-hero-
slash-reporter-turned-mayor camaraderie.

There's nothing normal
about that sentence at all.

I admit our relationship
is a bit unconventional,

but it's kinda like those videos

where a koala is
friends with an eel.

Okay, yeah, it is kinda weird.

Christina: Couldn't agree more.

But I would replace
"kinda" with "very,"

and I'd replace
Megamind with anyone.

Sorry. Polls say voters prefer
a mayor with normal friends.

You're still here?

Don't you turn back into
a bale of hay at sundown?

The mayor's work is never done.

We still have to finish

the municipal operations
facility's budget.

Guess the mayor's work is
never interesting either.

Hey, man, it's game
night at the lair!

You leave your
manners at the door.

- [phone alert]
- Whoa.

Sorry, guys. I gotta head home.

Already? It's way
before your curfew!

I have to work on an
extra credit project.

If I don't build a robot
that can throw a tennis ball,

my science teacher
will flunk me.

If it's a robot you need,
you're more than welcome to use

all the high-tech doodads
the lair has to offer.

Really? I can use
all your cool stuff?

Oh, Mr. Schlurg-Peterman might
give me extra-extra credit!

- Wait. Bennett Schlurg-Peterman?
- You know her teacher?

[sighs] We were
inseparable at summer camp.

They didn't even need
to tie us together

- for the three-legged race.
- So, why aren't you hanging out

with this everyday card-carrying
member of the teachers union

instead of these
stinking weirdos?

- Hey!
- Hey!

- [zap]
- Yipe! Aaah...

Man, I haven't seen
Bennett in years,

but we used to have so much fun.

Like bear trap, piranha fun?

Different in that it was
a more... normal fun.

Yeah, we must be talking about
a different Schlurg-Peterman.

Schlurg-Peterman?
Sounds like a law firm

- that represents haunted toys.

It's really not that exciting.

Not exciting? To see where
my dear Keiko fills her mind

with test tube wishes
and double helix dreams?

I mostly doodle.

Well, now you can
skee-doodle on home.

I want to experience this solo.

Are you sure this isn't about
Roxie and Mr. Schlurg-Peterman?

I said skee-doodle.

Yikes. Insulting her
stringy coconut-like hair?

Not so nice, Bennett.

I have stringy hair?

Oh, we called her Coconut Cannon

because of her k*ller throwing
skills on the dodge ball field.

Not as k*ller as
your air muffins

know, in prison,

I invented a snack called
"toothpaste bites."

Remember when I trapped
you on a hot air balloon

Oh, this is a different

Keiko: Sounds like
someone's jealous.

You know, 'cause you
and Roxie are a thing?

We're not a "thing."

Why? Did she say something?

I just figured you guys
were deeply in love,

but pretend to be too
busy to realize it

because you're both terrified.

That's how hero
relationships normally work.

It's complicated, Keiko.
And I am not jealous!

I'm sure my tummy has
nothing to do with the fact

that the goodest thing
that ever happened to me

has replaced me with
her old camp buddy,

and they share nothing
but warm fuzzy memories!

Just wondering,
have you told Roxie

you think she's the goodest?

Which is adorable, by the way.

I grew up in a prison, remember?

I'm new to the
whole friend thing.

- Um, hello? Standing right here.

Oh, Chum, I adore you,

but you're more of
a vestigial limb

haunting me for life.

It's actually called
"catch," but yes.

[gasps] My robot actually works!

And just in time for dinner.

Try not to be jealous, okay?

So you don't have an old

You're Megamind. You can
do literally anything!

Ollo! We were bunkmates
at Camp Turkey Neck.

Oh, the friendship

you met at camp.

It was a day camp, and that
day happened to be today.

And while Pal-3000 may
indeed be made of metal,

he and I have just as
strong a bond as you two.

Actually, I might even
argue that we have
