You may recall me talking about how I was working on a script for a musical theatre version of Megamind.
I am VERY PLEASED to announce that the script is COMPLETE and that it is going to be UNVEILED at Mega Camp, where we will be doing a READING of it!! The reading is happening Sunday night at 7:30pm!
Now, in order to make the reading as enjoyable as possible, I need your help!
During the reading, I need volunteers to help by playing the parts. A script reading is much more informal than an actual performance, so there’s no need to be nervous; the emphasis here is on having fun. It’s going to be more like a game rather than a show.
Each participant will get a script, and they will read their lines from the script during the reading as they act out their parts. So there’s no need to worry about memorization. The songs, too, are very simple; I wrote them so that they are easy to sing.
There are lots of parts–all of the characters from canon, plus some characters from the Doom Syndicate: Hot Flash, Lady Doppler, Psycho Delic, and Destruction Worker. Not to mention the brainbots and the random citizens!
I’m going to post all of the songs, so that you all can hear them ahead of time–everyone is invited to sing along with the chorus parts.
Again, do not feel worried about having any experience with acting, or about whether you’re “good” at singing–this is all about having fun! And if you’re shy, there is always a place for you as a citizen or in the brainbot swarm!
I’m going to be playing Megamind, but all of the other parts are open.
If you are interested in playing, please let me know, and I will send you the script, so that you can read it ahead of time and feel more comfortable.
I am really proud of this script, and I am so excited to share the musical theatre version of Megamind with you all!

Greetings, intrepid camper! You may be wondering “how did I get myself into this mess?” or “what even does one bring camping??” Well fear not, brave soul, we have compiled a handy dandy guide just for you first, second, or hundredth-timers. Because we love you.
This guide is divided into convenient sections for your perusal. Should our grouping stay within 35 people then everyone will have a cabin in which to stay, which will negate the last part of the guide.
This is My First Camping Trip, Please Help Me.
Yourself (glad to have you on board, it wouldn’t be a party without you!).
Your photo ID or passport. This should stay with you at almost all times.
Clean clothes for 4 days and 3 nights stay.
At least 4 pairs underwear/bras and socks, we recommend at least 1 extra of each just in case.
Shorts/pants/skirts for 4 days. At least 1 pair should be long pants.
Shirts/tank tops for 4 days.
Pajamas for 3 nights.
Pair of good walking shoes or hiking boots.
A hoodie (for us cold blooded lizard folk to wear at night to disguise our scaled faces with).
Optional: Swimming suit.
Optional: Sandals/swimming shoes.
Optional: Hat to keep the sun off your head.
Optional: Sunglasses or clip ons.
Optional: A hooded rain jacket (so you don’t melt if it rains).
Optional: If you are attending Bristol Renaissance Faire you may wish to bring your own costume. Costumes of any kind are welcome, so long as you don’t have any exposed steel or walk around in just pasties.
Optional: If you are attending the wine tasting at the vineyards you might opt for something super fancy to make you feel classy.
Toiletries
Your prescription medications.
Toothbrush.
Toothpaste.
Shampoo and conditioner.
Body soap.
Deodorant.
Sunscreen.
Bug repellent.
Sandals to shower in (no, really, get a pair of cheap flipflops to shower in).
Hair brush and/or comb.
Optional: Pads or tampons if shark week strikes.
Optional: Hair ties if you are of the long haired persuasion.
Optional: Glasses or contact cleaning solutions if you are a cyborg.
Optional: Shaving razor.
Optional: Skin lotion.
Optional: Hair dryer.
Optional: Makeup and hair styling products.
Phone and charger.
Flashlight and spare batteries.
Folding camp chair (if you are not flying in).
Optional: Binoculars.
Optional: Field guides.
Optional: Reusable water bottle with belt clip for hiking.
Optional: A book to read, useful if you have to wait for a pickup.
Optional: Laptop/tablet and charger. There is wifi, but it isn’t the greatest.
Optional: Camera, film, and extra batteries or charger.
A special note to our international visitors: Don’t worry about packing shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, soap, skin lotion, sunscreen, or bug repellent. If you do not have a special requirement and are not staying in the States before or after camp. Roki will happily provide those things for you. Just let us know in advance so she can be made aware to bring extra. This is to help with getting past TSA because their liquid requirements can be pretty screwy. If you are staying in the States before or after it will be easier on you to purchase those items once here. It saves you in airline baggage weight coming into the States and you cannot bring them with you as a carry on to help with that.
If you want to know more about that, check out this post: Travelling to the States from Canada. Bear in mind that it will differ from country to country and between airlines even, but it’s a good starting point.
I am Staying in a Cabin
The cabins provide mattresses, so air mattresses are not required.
A pillow.
An extra blanket if you think you will need it.
Your own set of sheets (twin or full).
I am Staying in a Tent or Sleeping on an Air Mattress
Your tent (or negotiate with someone to have them provide you one).
Rain fly for tent.
Stakes.
Tarp to put under tent.
Rubber mallet for stakes.
Optional: Small mat/bag to put shoes on inside tent. Prevents bugs getting in them, but also tracking mud inside.
Pro-tip: If you can, zip your tent so that the zippers are at the top of the door. This prevents curious critters from grabbing them at night.
A blow up mattress or sleeping mat.
Pump for blow up mattress.
Batteries for the pump if needed.
Bedding.
A sleeping bag to put over the mattress (put this down before the sheets to prevent loss of body heat through the night).
So as much fun as we’re going to have at camp, we also have a couple trips planned to attractions close to camp. Each of these will cost you a little extra money on top of your camp fee, but we think they are worth it! So where are we going you may ask?
Bristol Renaissance Faire
Welcome to one of the biggest Renaissance Faires in the US! There are dozens of shows through the day including music, comedy, and jousting, as well as village worth of shops including garb, food, alcohol, jewelry, and all sorts of fascinating shiny things. Costumes are highly encouraged!
You will be responsible for your own admission fee and the costs of any food and souvenirs.
Whose up for a little drinking? This Wisconsin establishment creates apple and pear based wines, ciders, perry, brandy and whiskey!
They offer tastings for $5 a person. You’re responsible for the cost of any additional liquor you may buy.
Adrian’s Frozen Custard
No, its not frozen pudding. Frozen Custard is a creamier cousin to ice cream and a regional food unique to Wisconsin. So of course I can’t have y’all come here without trying some for yourself! And every good Wisconsin girl knows that the best frozen custard comes from rando mom & pop places in little towns just like Adrian’s. You will be responsible for the cost of your own cone.

MEGAMIND’S FATHER: —THE SUN GOES SUPERNOVA; STILL—
BOTH: MY SON AT LEAST YOU’LL HAVE A CHANCE TO LIVE
MEGAMIND’S MOTHER: AND AS YOU GO INTO THE GREAT UNKNOWN I PROMISE YOU WON’T BE ALONE—
Here is your Minion. He will take care of you.
FATHER: And here is your binky. (he places glowing blue binky in escape pod.)
BOTH: THINGS COULD BE WORSE THINGS COULD BE SO MUCH WORSE OUR SON, AT LEAST, WILL LIVE THANK THE MERCY OF THE UNIVERSE
WE’VE ONLY MOMENTS LEFT, IT’S TRUE BUT AT LEAST WE’RE SPENDING THEM WITH YOU
(baby Megamind cries.)
MOTHER: Oh, my love; shhh. DON’T YOU CRY ANY MORE
FATHER: MY SON, YOU ARE DESTINED FOR—
MEGAMIND: I didn’t quite hear that last part. But it sounded important. Destined for—what?
CITIZENS: THINGS COULD BE WORSE THINGS COULD BE SO MUCH WORSE YOU BETTER REMEMBER THAT SAY THANK YOU TO THE UNIVERSE
TRUE, A BLACK HOLE HAS CRUSHED EVERYTHING YOU LOVED TO DUST BUT IT COULD BE WORSE THINGS COULD BE WORSE
MEGAMIND: I set out to find my destiny!
CITIZENS: OH NOW DARLING DON’T YOU CRY OR YOU’LL GET SOMETHING TO CRY ABOUT THINK OF THIS AS A CHANCE TO LEARN ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU CAN DO WITHOUT
IT’S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD IT’S JUST THE END OF THE WORLD THINGS COULD BE WORSE THEY’RE GONNA GET WORSE
MEGAMIND: Turns out a kid from the Glaupunkt Quadrant had the exact same idea as me. That was the day I met Mr. Goody-Two-Shoes. And our glorious rivalry was born!
Was this what I was destined for? A dream life, filled with luxury?
Apparently not! Even fate picks its favorites. No big deal.
CITIZENS: IT COULD BE WORSE IT COULD BE SO MUCH WORSE TRY TO REMEMBER THIS WHEN YOU FEEL YOU HAVE BEEN CURSED
OH NOW DARLING DON’T YOU CRY OR YOU’LL GET SOMETHING TO CRY ABOUT THINK OF THIS AS A CHANCE TO LEARN ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU CAN DO WITHOUT
YOU’LL GROW UP BEHIND PRISON BARS BUT YOU SHOULD THANK YOUR LUCKY STARS BECAUSE THINGS COULD BE WORSE THINGS ARE GONNA GET WORSE
MEGAMIND: After a few years, and with some time off for good behavior, I was given an opportunity to better myself through learning at a strange place called shool.
It was there that I once again ran into Mr. Goody-Two-Shoes.
He had already amassed a gigantic army of soft-headed groupies. He bought their affections with showmanship and extravagant displays of his power.
So I, too, would show off my special talents and win over those mindless drones!
That’s when I learned a very hard lesson. Good receives all the praise and adulation, while evil is sent to quiet time in the corner. So fitting in wasn’t really an option.
CHORUS: IT COULD BE WORSE IT COULD BE SO MUCH WORSE TRY TO REMEMBER THIS WHEN YOU FEEL YOU HAVE BEEN CURSED
MEGAMIND: Some days, it felt like it was just me and Minion against the world.
CHORUS: YOU HAVE ONE FRIEND IN THE WORLD SO IT’S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD IT COULD BE WORSE IT COULD BE WORSE
MEGAMIND: While they were learning the Itsy Bitsy Spider, I learned how to dehydrate animate objects and rehydrate them at will!
No matter how hard I tried, I was always the odd man out.
The last one picked. The screw up, the black sheep…
STUDENT ONE: Freak!
STUDENT TWO: Weirdo!
METRO BOY: Get him!
MEGAMIND: The bad boy.
CITIZENS: OH NOW DARLING DON’T YOU CRY OR YOU’LL GET SOMETHING TO CRY ABOUT THINK OF THIS AS A CHANCE TO LEARN ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU CAN DO WITHOUT
IT’S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD YOU DON’T FIT IN THIS WORLD
MEGAMIND: Was this my destiny?
YOUNG MEGAMIND: Being bad is the one thing I’m good at.
MEGAMIND: If I was the bad boy, then I was going to be the baddest boy of them all!
YOUNG MEGAMIND: I CAN BE WORSE I CAN BE SO MUCH WORSE I CAN BE THE BADDEST THING IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE
MEGAMIND & YOUNG MEGAMIND: OH, YOU THINK THAT I’M BAD NOW? I AM GONNA SHOW YOU HOW I CAN BE WORSE I’M GONNA BE WORSE
MEGAMIND: I was destined to be a supervillain! And we were destined to be rivals!
And so began an enduring, epic, lifelong career. And I loved it! Our battles quickly got more elaborate. He would win some. I would almost win others! He took the name Metro Man: Defender of Metrocity.
I decided to pick something a little more humble.
Megamind! Incredibly handsome criminal genius and master of all villainy!
CITIZENS: THINGS COULD BE WORSE THINGS COULD BE SO MUCH WORSE YOU BETTER REMEMBER THAT SAY THANK YOU TO THE UNIVERSE
YOU’VE FINALLY FOUND YOUR PLACE
MEGAMIND: True, it’s getting punched in the face.
CITIZENS: BUT THINGS COULD BE WORSE THINGS COULD BE WORSE
MEGAMIND: Yes, things could certainly be a lot worse!
Oh, that’s right. I’m falling to my death. Guess they can’t.
I’m So Bad
MEGAMIND: THE EVIL PLOT IS RIGHT ON SCHEDULE I COULD JUST EVIL LAUGH WITH JOY LOOK OUT NOW, METROCITY! I PLAN TO BE A BAD, BAD BOY
GONNA SHOW OFF MY TRUE COLORS LET MY FIENDISH BRILLIANCE SHINE I’M MEGAMIND, THE EVIL GENIUS! AND SOON THIS CITY WILL BE MINE!
BECAUSE I’M BAD, BABY I’M THE BADDEST THING IN TOWN AND I AM GOOD AT IT AND METRO MAN IS GOING DOWN!
I’LL ALWAYS BE A VILLAIN What can I say; it’s just a gift! OH, I’M SO BAD AND EVIL—
MINION: Well, hello, good looking; need a lift?
MEGAMIND: Certainly do you fantastic fish, you!
MINION: Get in the invisible car, you!
MEGAMIND: OH, I AM BAD, BABY THE BADDEST THING YOU’VE EVER SEEN MY HEART IS BLACK AND WICKED AND I’M SO HORRIBLE AND MEAN!
Nice work sending me the disguise watch, Minion!
MINION: You got it, Sir!
MEGAMIND: Ah, there’s no place like evil lair!
MINION: Oh, the brainbots certainly missed you, Sir!
(Brainbots make ‘bowg’ noises of enthusiasm.)
MEGAMIND: Did you miss your daddy? Who’s a menacing little cyborg? You are; yes you are!
OH, I’M SO BAD, BABY PEOPLE SEE ME AND THEY RUN THEY KNOW I’M MEAN AND NASTY OH, BEING EVIL’S SO MUCH FUN! (The Brainbots bring him his cape and help him into it.) Ah, my cape! How do I look, Minion? Do I look bad?
MINION: Disgustingly horrifying, Sir!
MEGAMIND: You always know what to say!
IT’S GOOD TO BE BAD, MINION! TIME TO UNVEIL THE EVIL PLAN
MINION: This one’s sure to work, Sir!
MEGAMIND: AND WE WILL DEFEAT METRO MAN! (Roxanne stirs and begins to wake.) Ah, she’s awake! Places! Places!
IT’S SUCH A GOOD BAD FEELING WHEN THE CROWD’S CURSING YOUR NAME
I KNOW I MIGHT BE INFAMOUS BUT INFAMY’S STILL FAME! (Brainbot pulls bag from Roxanne’s head; all Brainbots exit.) Miss Ritchi! We meet again!
ROXANNE: Would it kill you to wash the bag?
MEGAMIND: You can scream all you wish, Miss Ritchi! I’m afraid no one can hear you! (pause) Why isn’t she screaming?
MINION: Miss Ritchi; if you wouldn’t mind.
MEGAMIND: Like this! (screams)
I’M SO BAD, BABY LET ME HEAR THOSE FRIGHTENED PLEAS I’M JUST THE SUPERVILLAIN TO BRING THIS CITY TO ITS KNEES
Except, of course, for you, Miss Ritchi. As my evil queen, you will, obviously, be exempt from any shows of obedience required from the ordinary populace.
ROXANNE: Ugh, the evil queen joke is getting really old.
MEGAMIND: It’s not—
ROXANNE: Almost as old as this bag.
MEGAMIND: Again with the bag?! You don’t seem to be taking all of this seriously!
DON’T YOU KNOW THAT I AM BAD, MISS RITCHI? CAN’T YOU SEE THE PERIL YOU ARE IN? MY EVIL PLAN’S COMPLETE NOW AND THIS TIME I WILL WIN!
COME ON AND SCREAM FOR ME LET ME HEAR YOU SHRIEK WITH FEAR! (silence) I SAID SCREAM FOR ME! (Minion screams quietly.) That’s what I like to hear!
I’LL ALWAYS BE A VILLAIN THE BADDEST VILLAIN OF THEM ALL I’M GOOD AT BEING EVIL
Today Metrocity will fall!
Better Than This
MEGAMIND: I’VE GOTTA DO
MEGAMIND & ROXANNE: BETTER THAN THIS

MEGAMIND: DON’T EVEN KNOW HOW TO START
ROXANNE: DON’T YOU KNOW THAT
MEGAMIND: A HEROINE LIKE HER DESERVES THE VERY BEST IN VILLAINY BUT ALL THE THINGS THAT SHE’S SEEN
ROXANNE: YEAH, I’VE SEEN THAT
MEGAMIND: EVERY EVIL MACHINE

SOMEONE AS AMAZING AS YOU DESERVES BETTER AND NEW AND I WISH THAT I COULD TELL YOU BUT YOU DON’T CARE WHAT I THINK
STILL, I PROMISE I KNOW THE TRUTH UNDER THE SHOW
MEGAMIND: GOTTA DO BETTER
ROXANNE: DON’T YOU KNOW THAT YOU’RE BETTER

Going To Go Wrong
MINION: Oh, I don’t like this. I don’t like this at all. Why in the world does Sir even need a hero? It doesn’t make any sense!
MEGAMIND (as Space Dad): The flames of my evil burn bright! Now you say something cool back at me.
HAL: You…bad! Aaaraaaghhhh!
MINION: THIS IS SUCH A BAD IDEA AN INESCAPABLY BAD PLAN
HAL: Smash! Smash! Smash!

MINION: IT’S GOING TO GO WRONG
MEGAMIND: THINGS ARE GOING RIGHT THINGS ARE GOING RIGHT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE I REALLY FEEL THE FUTURE’S GOING TO BE BRIGHT
THINGS ARE GOING RIGHT Oh, what fun!
ROXANNE: You don’t get out much, do you? I used to come here with my mother when I was a kid. It was one of my favorite things to do. Now look at it. It’s a dump.
MINION: IT’S GOING TO GO WRONG IT’S GOING TO GO WRONG BUT SIR HAS GOT ONE OF HIS BRIGHT IDEAS SO EVERYONE HAS GOT TO PLAY ALONG
IT’S GOING TO GO WRONG Why are we cleaning up the city, Sir?
MEGAMIND: Well, we don’t want to battle our new hero in a dump, now, do we?
ROXANNE: It’s clean! But how? Why?
MEGAMIND: Maybe Megamind isn’t so bad after all.
THIS WAS SUCH A GOOD IDEA
MINION: THIS IS SUCH A BAD IDEA
MEGAMIND: I’M SO GLAD I CHANGED THE PLAN
MINION: AN INESCAPABLY BAD PLAN
MEGAMIND: FATE GAVE ME A DIFFERENT PATH AND NOW I’M HERE AND PARTNERS WITH ROXANNE

MEGAMIND: Oh, that was such a funny story! And brilliantly told, by the way. Okay, now you tell one!
ROXANNE: Bernard, I never knew you were so funny!
MEGAMIND: And—I never heard you laugh before.
ROXANNE: Yeah, it’s been a while. Feels pretty good.
THINGS ARE GOING RIGHT I’M SO GLAD TO HAVE YOU HERE I HAVEN’T QUITE GOT THIS DECIPHERED YET BUT I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT SOON IT WILL BE CLEAR
MEGAMIND & ROXANNE: THINGS ARE GOING RIGHT
MINION: IT’S GOING TO GO WRONG
MEGAMIND: NOTHING’S GOING TO WRONG
MINION: IT’S GOING TO GO WRONG AND THEN YOU’LL SEE I’M RIGHT, SIR AND YOU’LL SEE THAT I HAVE BEEN RIGHT ALL ALONG
MEGAMIND & ROXANNE: THINGS ARE GOING RIGHT
ROXANNE: I’M SO GLAD YOU HAVE YOU HERE
MEGAMIND: I’M SO GLAD TO BE HERE

IT IS GOING TO GO WRONG SOON AND THE ONLY THING TO HOPE FOR IS IT DOESN’T GO AS BADLY AS I FEAR
MEGAMIND & ROXANNE: THINGS ARE GOING RIGHT
MINION: SIR IS HEADED FOR A FALL BUT THERE’S NOTHING I CAN DO EXCEPT TO STAND BEHIND HIM AND THEN PICK UP ALL THE PIECES WHEN IT’S THROUGH

Let Me Be Good
MEGAMIND: I’VE READ THE COMIC BOOKS AND NOVELS SEEN THE TELEVISION SHOWS WATCHED A MILLION ACTION MOVIES I KNOW HOW THIS STORY GOES
BEING BAD HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE ONLY THING I COULD DO RIGHT AND PEOPLE ALWAYS LOOK SO HAPPY AS THEY WATCH ME LOSE A FIGHT
EVERY STORY NEEDS A HERO THE HERO ALWAYS HAS TO WIN THE VILLAIN HAS TO BE DEFEATED AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN
AND I’M TIRED
I’M TIRED OF THIS DESTINY I AM TIRED OF LOOKING IN THE MIRROR AND SEEING ME BUT I CAN FIX THAT AND MAYBE THEN I CAN BE FREE
FATE, LET ME GO LET ME GO LET ME BE
LET ME BE GOOD
I WANT TO BE GOOD THIS TIME WIPE THE LEDGER CLEAN AND START ANEW BE SOMEBODY GOOD THIS TIME SOMEONE WHO’S NOT EVIL AND NOT BLUE
ALL MY LIFE, I’VE NEVER THOUGHT I COULD BE SOMEBODY GOOD BUT FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE—
MAYBE I COULD
I WANT TO BELONG THIS TIME STEP ONTO THE STREETS AND NOT HEAR SCREAMS PEOPLE SMILE AND WAVE THIS TIME IT’S JUST LIKE THE CITY IN MY DREAMS
I HAVE NEVER DONE SO WELL AT KNOWING RIGHT FROM WRONG BUT FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE—
LET ME BELONG
AND MAYBE IT’LL WORK THIS TIME AND I CAN RIGHT THE WRONGS THAT I HAVE DONE AND I’LL LEARN TO BE GOOD THIS TIME AND I’LL EARN MY PLACE HERE IN THE SUN
ALL MY LIFE, I’VE ALWAYS THOUGHT I WAS EVIL TO THE CORE BUT FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE—
LET ME BE MORE
PLEASE LET ME BE GOOD THIS TIME LET ME HAVE A CHANCE TO MAKE HER SMILE AND I KNOW I’M NOT WORTH HER TIME BUT LET ME MAKE HER HAPPY FOR A WHILE
I HAVE NEVER DONE SO WELL AT DOING WHAT I SHOULD BUT FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE—
LET ME BE GOOD

Things Could Be Worse (reprise)
CITIZENS: YOU’VE ONLY MOMENTS LEFT UNTIL YOUR INEVITABLE DEATH, BUT STILL
MEGAMIND: Normally, I’d just chalk this up as my last glorious failure—
CITIZENS: SOMETHING IN YOU WON’T LET YOU GIVE IN
MEGAMIND: —but not today.
I’LL FIND A REASON TO SURVIVE FIND A WAY TO STAY ALIVE
What can I say? Old habits die hard!
Path We Choose
MEGAMIND: ALL MY LIFE I BELIEVED IT WHEN THE WORLD SAID THAT EVIL WAS MY DESTINY
FOR SO LONG MY MIND’S BEEN SHACKLED BUT I’VE CAST OFF THE CHAINS OF LIES NOW, I AM FREE
ALL: YOU CAN BE A HERO YOU CAN BE A HERO IF YOU LOOK INSIDE YOU’LL FIND THAT YOU ARE GOOD
YOU ARE GONNA MAKE IT YOU ARE GONNA MAKE IT YOU ARE GONNA DO THE THINGS YOU NEVER THOUGHT YOU COULD
MEGAMIND: I HAVE LIVED WITHOUT HOPE OF RESCUE ACCEPTANCE OR FORGIVENESS OR REPRIEVE
FOR SO LONG I THOUGHT I DESERVED THAT BUT MY MIND IS FREE NOW AND HERE IS WHAT I BELIEVE
ALL: YOU CAN BE A HERO YOU CAN BE A HERO THIS BATTLE YOU ARE FIGHTING CAN BE WON
YOU ARE GONNA MAKE IT YOU ARE GONNA MAKE IT YOU ARE GONNA STEP OUT FROM THE SHADOWS TO THE SUN
MEGAMIND: I’VE BEEN PUSHED DOWN AND THE WORLD HAS TOLD ME THAT I DIDN’T DESERVE ANYTHING MORE
BUT I’M THROUGH I’M THROUGH WITH FALLING THIS TIME, OH, THIS TIME I’M GONNA SOAR
ALL: THE WORLD MAY BE AGAINST US THE WORLD MAY BE AGAINST US BUT THIS IS NOT A FIGHT WE’RE GONNA LOSE
FATE IS NOT THE PATH WE’RE GIVEN FATE IS NOT THE PATH WE’RE GIVEN DESTINY’S THE PATH WE CHOOSE
(Megamind and Roxanne sing this when she’s asking him to rescue her.)
