Quote #4
BOB: You want to do something for Dash? Then let him actually compete. Let him go out for sports.
HELEN: I will not be made the enemy here. You know why we can't do that.
BOB: Because he'd be great.
Though they're talking about Dash, it's clear that Bob and Helen are actually talking about themselves here. Both were once superheroes, and both are now forced to hide their powers from the world. They might react to this differently, but it has a significant impact on both of them—and not necessarily for the better.
Quote #5
SYNDROME: Now you respect me, because I'm a threat. [...] Turns out there's a lot of people, whole countries who want respect. And they will pay through the nose to get it.
Not blessed with superpowers himself, young Buddy dedicates his life to becoming as strong as his heroes—just not as ethical. What a great combo. We can't help but wonder how differently things might have turned out if Mr. Incredible was more sympathetic with his number one fanboy. What do you think?
Quote #6
HELEN: [to Violet] You have more power than you realize. Don't think. And don't worry. If the time comes, you'll know what to do. It's in your blood.
Violet lacks confidence in her own strength, as revealed when she fails to create a force field to protect the family's jet as it approaches the island. But this convo is a turning point for her. For the first time, she actually believes in herself, and the results will speak for themselves.
