E-Mode (Edna Mode)
- My God, you've gotten fat. (to Bob Parr)
- I never look back, dahling. It distracts from the now.
- Supermodels - ha! Nothing super about them. Spoiled, stupid little stick-figures with poofy lips who think only about themselves. Feh! I used to design for GODS!
- I'm much too busy, so ask me now before I again become sane.
- No capes!
- Luck favors the prepared.
- I cut it a little loose for the freedom of movement. The fabric is comfortable for sensitive skin... and it can also withstand a temperature of over one thousand degrees... completely bulletproof... and machine-washable, dahling. That's a new feature.
- Go! Confront the problem! Fight! Win!
Mr. Incredible (Bob Parr)
- No matter how many times you save the world, it always manages to get back in jeopardy again! Sometimes I just want it to stay saved, you know? For a little bit. I feel like the maid: "I just cleaned up this mess! Can we keep it clean for, for ten minutes?"
- I've still got time. (repeatedly, during series of crises as he heads toward his wedding.)
- Reliving the glory days is better than acting like they didn't happen!
- It's psychotic! They keep inventing new ways to celebrate mediocrity.
- You keep trying to pick a fight, while I'm still just happy that you're alive.
- Hey, come on. We're superheroes. What could happen? (to Helen at their wedding, shortly before onslaught of lawsuits that brought about the Superhero Ban.)
- You are my greatest adventure - and I almost missed it.
Elastigirl (Helen Parr)
- I think you need to be more... flexible.
- Of course I have a secret identity! Can you see me in this (indicates her super-suit) at the, at the supermarket? Come on!
- C'mon, ladies. Leave the saving of the world to the men? I don't think so.
- Is this... rubble?
- We're superheroes. What can possibly happen? (just prior to battle with Omnidroid X.)
- We are not gonna die! Now, both of you are gonna get a grip, or so help me, I'll ground you for a month! Understand?
- Your identity is your most precious possession. Protect it.
- Remember the bad guys on those shows you used to watch on Saturday morning? Well, these guys are not like those guys. They won't exercise restraint because you're children. They- will- kill- you if they get the chance. Do not give them that chance.
Frozone (Lucius Best)
- Super-ladies, they're always trying to tell you their secret identity. Think it'll strengthen the relationship or something like that. I said, "Girl, I don't wanna know about your mild-mannered alter ego or anything like that." I mean, you tell me you're, uh, super-mega-ultra-lightning babe? That's all right with me. I'm good. I'm good.
- I'd rather go bowling. Look - what if we actually did what our wives think we're doing? Just to shake things up.
- I don't see anyone from the old days, Bob. Just you. And we're pushing our luck as it is.
- Aw - now... that ain't right.
- We look like bad guys! Incompetent bad guys!
- I'm thirsty.
Dash (Dashiell Parr)
- I promise I'll slow up! I'll only be the best by a tiny bit!
- You always say, "Do your best," but you don't really mean it.
- She'd eat if we were having Tonyloaf!
- We're dead! We're dead! We survived... but we're dead!
- You wanna go toward the people who just tried to kill us?
- That was the best vacation EVER! (sighs) I love our family.
- Does this mean we have to move again? (after a huge explosion destroys the Parrs' house)
Violet Parr
- Normal? What do you know about "normal"? What does anyone in this family know about "normal"? We act normal. I wanna be normal, Mom. The only normal one is Jack-Jack - and he's not even toilet-trained!
- Mom? Mom, w-what happened on the plane, I... I-I'm sorry, I wanted to help... I-I mean, when you asked me to, to... I'm sorry.
- But you said never to use our powers!
- What did you DO?!?
- Well... I think Dad has made some excellent progress today, but I think it's time we wind down now.
- I feel different. Is different okay?
- He looked at me.
- You started it.
- Dash, remember what mom said... Dash run... Run!
- The remote controls the robot!
- Mom, I got it, I got the remote!
Syndrome (Buddy Pine)
- I learned an important lesson. You can't count on anyone... especially your heroes.
- You sly dog! You got me monologuing! I can't believe it.
- Oh, man! I'm still geeking out about it!
- I knew you couldn't do it - even when you've got nothing to lose. You're weak... and I've outgrown you.
- What have we here? Matching uniforms? Oh, no... Elastigirl? You married Elastigirl?!Whoa! (looks at Violet and Dash) And got biz-zay!
- I'll give them heroics. I'll give them the most spectacular heroics they've ever seen! And when I'm old and I've had my fun, I'll sell my inventions so everyone can be superheroes! Everyone can be super! And when everyone's super... no one will be.
- "Am I good enough NOW?!" (He uses his zero-point energy beam to slam Mr. Incredible to the ground.) "Who's super NOW?!" (Again he uses his beam to slam Mr. Incredible to the ground. He then grabs mr. incredible with said beam and lifts him up in the air) "I'm SYNDROME! Your nemisis and....
(He then realises he accedentally threw him and turns around to see him go flying into the distance)
(To himself)"Oh briliant."
Mirage
- We have something in common. According to the government, neither of us exists.
- The supers aren't gone, Mister Incredible. You're still here. You can still do great things. Or... you can listen to police scanners. Your choice.
- He's attracted to power. So am I. It's a... weakness we share.
- He's not weak, you know. Valuing life is not a weakness. And disregard for it is not strength.
- Next time you gamble, bet your own life.
- (choking) Family... survived the crash. Ak! They're here... on the island!
- You must be Mrs. In-- (is then punched by Elastigirl, who walked in on Mr. Incredible hugging Mirage for releasing him from Syndrome's torture machine)
- Say please!

Dialogue
- (Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl chat after defeating a burglar.)
- Mr. Incredible: I work alone.
- Elastigirl: And I think you need to be more... (she goes through rapid series of stretch-power maneuvers) flexible.
- Mr. Incredible: Uh... are you doing anything later?
- Elastigirl: I have a previous engagement.
- (Bob Parr arrives at the church for his wedding at the last second.)
- Helen (whispering): You're late. When you asked me if I was doing anything later, I didn't realize you'd actually forgotten. I thought it was playful banter.
- Bob: It was playful banter.
- Helen: Cutting it kind of close, don't you think?
- Bob: You need to be more... flexible.
- (Outside a courthouse, Mr. Incredible confronts a suicide jumper he rescued, who is now suing him.)

- Mr. Sansweet: You didn't save my life! You ruined my death, that's what you did!
- Helen Parr: Everyone's special, Dash.
- Dashiell Parr (sullenly): Which is another way of saying no one is.
- Helen: Dash got sent to the office again.
- Bob Parr (distracted): Good, good.
- Helen: No, Bob, that's bad.
- Bob: What?
- Helen (slowly): Dash got sent to the office again.
- Bob: What? What for?
- Dash: Nothing.
- Helen: He put a tack on the teacher's chair-during class.
- (Bob Parr and Lucius Best, in ski masks, are rescuing people from a burning building.)
- Bob: Can't you put this out?
- Lucius: I can't lay down a layer thick enough. It's evaporating too fast!
- Bob: Well, what's that mean?
- Lucius: IT MEANS IT'S HOT, and I'm dehydrated, Bob!
- Bob: You're out of ice? You can't run out of ice! I thought you could use the water in the air!
- Lucius: There IS no water in this air! What's your excuse - run out of muscle?
- Bob: I can't just go smashing through walls! The building's getting weaker by the second! It's gonna come down on top of us!
- Lucius: I wanted to go BOWLING!
- (After a shouting match, Bob and Helen reassure their kids.)
- Bob: But that's okay, because what's important is that Mommy and I are always a team. We're always... united, against, uh... uh, the forces of, uh...
- Helen: Pig-headedness?
- Bob: Uh, I was gonna say "evil".
- (Bob Parr's boss feels that he's approving too many insurance claims.)

- Bob Parr: Me too, kid.
- (Mr. Incredible reviews details of his first superhero mission in 15 years.)
- Mirage: I've got to warn you, it's a learning robot. Every moment you spend fighting it only increases its knowledge of how to beat you.
- Mr. Incredible: Shut it down, do it quickly, don't destroy it.
- Mirage: And don't die.
- Mr. Incredible: Great. Thanks.
- Edna Mode: No capes. (She throws crumpled piece of paper and hits Bob on the forehead.)
- Bob Parr: Isn't that my decision?
- Edna: Do you remember Thunderhead? Tall, storm powers? Nice man, good with kids.
- Bob: Listen, E --
- Edna: NOVEMBER 15th of '58! All was well, another day saved, when... his cape snagged on a missile fin.
- Bob: (chuckles) Thunderhead was not the brightest bulb --
- Edna: STRATOGIRL! April 23rd, '57. Cape caught in a jet turbine!
- Bob: E, you can't generalize about these things --
- Edna: METAMAN! Express elevator. DYNAGUY! Snag on takeoff. SPLASHDOWN! Sucked into a vortex. NO CAPES!
- Edna: Your new suit will be ready before your next assignment.
- Bob: You know I'm retired from hero work.
- Edna: As am I, Robert. Yet... here we are.
- Helen:There's plenty of leftovers you can reheat, make sure Dash does his homework, and both of you GET TO BED ON TIME! I should be back tonight, late, you can be in charge that long, can't you?
- Violet Parr: Yeah, but why am I in charge, again?
- Helen Parr: Nothing. Just a little trouble with Daddy.
- Violet: You mean Dad's in trouble, or Dad is the trouble?
- Helen: I mean he's either in trouble, or he's going to be.
- (Helen, Violet, and Dash are huddled around a campfire in a cave.)
- Helen:I think your father is in trouble.
- Violet: In case you didn't notice, Mom, we're not doing so hot either.
- Helen: And I'm going to go look for him. You two stay here. If anything happens, use your powers.
- Helen: Dash, if anything goes wrong, I want you to run as fast as you can.
- Dash (excited): As fast as I can?!?
- Helen: As fast as you can.
- Violet Parr: What do you think is going on around here? You think we're on vacation or something? Mom and Dad's lives could be in jeopardy! Or worse... their marriage.
- Dash Parr: Their marriage? So... the bad guys are trying to wreck Mom and Dad's marriage.
- Violet: Oh, forget it. You're so immature.
- (Violet has just created a force-field "bubble" protecting herself and Dash from gunfire.)
- Dash: How are you doing this?
- Violet: I don't know!
- Dash: Whatever you do, don't stop!
- (Honey Best - Mrs. Frozone - is dressing for dinner when the Omnidroid mk X attacks the city.)
- Lucius: Honey?
- Honey: What?
- Lucious: Where's my super-suit?
- Honey: What?
- Lucius: WHERE... IS... MY... SUPER... SUIT?!
- Honey: Uh...I put it away!
- Lucius: WHERE?!
- Honey: WHY do you need to KNOW?!
- [Lucius runs through the house apartment looking for his suit.]

- Honey: Uh-uh! Don't you think about runnin' off and doin' no daring-do! We've been plannin' this dinner for two months!
- Lucius: The public is in danger!
- Honey: My evening's in danger!

- Kari: What does "S" stand for?
- Syndrome: For… s-s-s… sitter! Yeah, sitter. Heh. Originally, I was gonna have initials for "baby sitter", but then I would have been going around wearing a big "B.S.", and [laughing] you understand why I couldn't go with that.
