Wreck It Ralph Screenplay

WRECK-IT RALPH FADE IN: 1 “INSERT COIN” blinks on the menu screen of FIX-IT FELIX, JR. We hear a coin being deposited. EXT. NICELAND - DAY WRECK-IT RALPH is asleep inside his stump. A voice-over kicks in, sounding more like a confessional than a traditional V.O. RALPH (V.O.) My name’s Ralph, and I’m a Bad Guy. I’m 9 feet tall. I weigh 643 pounds. Got a little bit of a temper on me. You know, my passions bubble very near the surface, not gonna lie. A bulldozer removes Ralph and the stump. Ralph’s head pops out of the stump. RALPH (ON-SCREEN) Hey, you moved my stump! ARRRGGHHHHHH! Ralph throws a bit of a tantrum. The NICELAND APARTMENTS are constructed where the stump was. RALPH (V.O.) (CONT’D) Anyhoo, what else? I’m a wrecker. I wreck -- professionally. Ralph appears on screen in front of the Niceland Apartments. RALPH (ON-SCREEN) (CONT’D) I’M GONNA WRECK IT! Ralph wrecks the building. He throws a Nicelander. RALPH (V.O.) (CONT’D) I’m very good at what I do. Probably the best I know. NICELANDERS FIX IT FELIX!!! RALPH (V.O.) Thing is, fixing is the name of the game. Literally, figuratively, meta... physically... FIX-IT FELIX arrives and starts fixing. WRECK-IT RALPH FELIX I CAN FIX IT!!! RALPH (V.O.) (CONT’D) So yeah, naturally the guy with the name Fix-it Felix is the good guy. He’s nice enough as good guys go. Definitely fixes stuff really well. But if you’ve got a magic hammer from your father, how hard can it be...? YOO-HOO! MARY 2 MARY pops up in a window with a pie. Felix eats the pie, and a protective hard-hat appears on his head. RALPH I guarantee you if he had a standard issue hammer like the kind you’d get at the hardware store-he would not be able to fix the things I wreck as quickly. The damage is repaired. The screen reads “YOU FIXED IT!” RALPH (V.O.) When Felix does a good job, he gets a medal. A Nicelander places a little medal around Felix’s neck and gives him a peck on the cheek. RALPH (V.O.) Are there medals for the sweet science of wrecking? To that I say, “Ha.” The Nicelanders pick up Ralph and thrown him off the roof. Ahhhhhhhh! RALPH He lands on the ground in the mud. KER-PLUNK. RALPH (V.O.) (CONT’D) ... And no, there are not. We pull back from the game console. We’re in... LITWAK’S FAMILY FUN CENTER The place is bustling. WRECK-IT RALPH CHIRON: “30 YEARS AGO.” RALPH (V.O.) (CONT’D) It’s not like I’m complaining. Well, it’s a little like I’m complaining. But I get it. I been doing this long enough to know a steady arcade gig’s nothing to sneeze at. TIME LAPSE -- The arcade expands over the years. Games get wheeled out. New games get wheeled in. Owner LARRY LITWAK takes real good care of the place through the years. RALPH (V.O.) (CONT’D) Seen a lotta games come and go. I think about all those guys from Asteroids? Boom! Gone. Centipede? Who knows where that guy is. No, I know I’m very lucky. CHIRON: “TODAY” RALPH It’s just after becomes kind of job when no one for doing it. (V.O.) (CONT’D) so many years, it hard to love your seems to like you 3 The arcade is older now, and all the games are more modern. A giant first-person shooter game gets wheeled in. The arcade closes. The “Open” sign shuts off. The Dance Dance Revolution screen is visible in the background. On it we see a cycle of the dancer dancing. The dancer suddenly stops, peeks toward the darkened “Open” sign. INSET THE GAME: The dancer relaxes. DANCER (calling out) THAT’S IT! ARCADE’S CLOSED! She and her back-up dancers limp off, rubbing their shoulders, limping, stretching after a long day of dancing. INSET STREET FIGHTER GAME CONSOLE: Two fighters, RYU and KEN stop beating each other. RYU What a day. Want to head to Tappers, Ken? Felix and the Nicelanders go hang out in their homes-. EXT.WRECK-IT RALPH KEN If you’re buying...) I guess I can’t bellyache too much. . I got my stump. I got my bricks. He watches sadly as the Nicelanders ignore him and carry Felix to the penthouse.. Ralph picks himself up from the mud. You might call it a lonely cesspit of despair on the outskirts of humanity.O. RALPH (V.which he’s just fixed. FELIX Good job. But as it is. where I live.) And I head off to the pile of garbage in the dump. everyone! Felix and the Nicelanders exit the roof as we pan down the building and get a sense of the world.. NICELAND .) I dunno. He pummels the bricks into dust and pulls a pile of bricks over him like a blanket.O. maybe I wouldn’t be feeling this way if things were different after work. 4 BACK ON THE FIX-IT FELIX CONSOLE: Felix and the Nicelanders are on the roof.DAY The game is now in hyper-realistic 3-D. But I call it home.. Ralph climbs up the brick pile he calls home. buddy.. FELIX Quittin’ time! We push through the game screen. RALPH (V. RALPH (V.O.which would be accurate.
