Consulting my enemy

Megamind

I know you hate visitors, but—

Metro Man

Then why are you here, little blue?

Megamind

Because the city needs—

Metro Man

The city needs to learn saving itself.

Megamind

You think I wanted this? Being the last resort?

Megamind

Every time I fix something, they remember I'm the villain who broke it first.

Metro Man

You think villains get monopoly on being tired?

Metro Man

I spent thirty years being perfect. Do you know what perfect gets you?

Metro Man

It gets you a museum nobody visits and a city that only loved the idea of you.

Megamind

So we both failed at being what they wanted.

Megamind

Difference is, I can't quit. My DNA won't let me.

Metro Man

You know what I learned in exile? Heroes aren't made by powers or intentions.

Metro Man

They're made by showing up the day after they failed. And the day after that.

Megamind

Sounds exhausting.

Metro Man

It is. That's why I chose guitar.

Megamind

Keep it. Plays Wonderwall in seventeen languages.

Metro Man

You know I can't—

Megamind

I'm not asking you to save the city. Just... don't let it forget what saving looks like.

Metro Man

Hey, little blue?

Metro Man

Next time you visit, bring coffee. Hero work's easier when you're awake.
