Edna Quotes:

    Helen: Jack-Jack doesn't have any powers.

    Edna: No? Well, he'll look fabulous anyway.

  • Edna: This is a horrible suit, darling. You can't be seen in this. I won't allow it. Fifteen years ago, maybe, but now? Feh!

    Bob: Wait, what do you mean? *You* designed it.

    Edna: I never look back, darling! It distracts from the now.

  • Edna: It will be bold! Dramatic!

    Bob: Yeah!

    Edna: Heroic!

    Bob: Yeah. Something classic, like, like Dynaguy. Oh, he had a great look! Oh, the cape and the boots...

    Edna: [throws a wadded ball of paper at Bob's head] No capes!

    Bob: 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: Thunderhead was not the brightest bulb...

    Edna: Stratogale! April 23rd, '57! Cape caught in a jet turbine!

    Bob: E, you can't generalize about these things...

    Edna: [shouts] You are Elastigirl! My God...

    [swatting Helen with a newspaper]

    Edna: Pull-yourself-together! "What will you do?" Is this a question? You will show him you remember that he is Mr. Incredible, and you will remind him who *you* are. Well, you know where he is. Go, confront the problem. Fight! Win!

    [normal voice]

    Edna: And call me when you get back, darling. I enjoy our visits.

  • Edna: [on Jack-Jack's suit] I cut it a little roomy for the free movement, the fabric is comfortable for sensitive skin...

    [a sheet of flame erupts in front of the suit]

    Edna: And it can also withstand a temperature of over 1000 degrees. Completely bulletproof...

    [four heavy machine guns appear and open fire on the suit, without effect]

    Edna: And machine washable, darling. That's a new feature.

  • Edna: [to Mr. Incredible] My God, you've gotten fat.

  • Bob: Weren't you in the news? Some show in, Prayge... Prague?

  • Edna: You need a new suit, that much is certain.

    Bob: A new suit? Well, where the heck am I gonna get a new suit?

    Edna: You push too hard, darling! But I accept!

    [sighs]

    Helen: [whispers] Elastigirl.

    Edna: [booming] DARLING! How are you, it's been such a long time...

    Helen: [nearly dropping the phone] Yes, yes, it's been a while. Listen, there's only one person who Bob would trust to patch a super suit, and that's you, E.

    Edna: Yes, yes, marvelous suit, darling, much better than those horrible pajamas he used to wear.

    Helen: [trying to talk over Edna] Beg? Uh, no, I'm, I'm calling about a suit, about, about Bob's suit. I'm calling about Bob's suit!

    Edna: You come in one hour darling, I insist, okay? Okay, bye-bye.

    [Helen is left holding the phone, looking puzzled]

    Edna: Fine. I will also fix the hobo suit.

    Bob: You're the best of the best, E

    Edna: [Walking up stairs] Yes, I know, dahling.

  • Edna: Your boy's suit I designed to withstand enormous friction without heating up or wearing out, a useful feature. Your daughter's suit was tricky, but I finally created a sturdy material that can disappear completely as she does. Your suit can stretch as far as you can without injuring yourself, and still retain its shape. Virtually indestructible, yet it breathes like Egyptian cotton.

    Edna: My son-in-law's name is Peter.

    Peter McGowan: No. I said your name was Edna. My name is Peter.

    Edna: You just said your name was Edna... Edna's a funny name for a man. Been teased over the years?

    Peter McGowan: Mercilessly. "Pete."

  • Edna: TV moves fast.

  • Edna: You are *all* going to Hell, you know!

    Jennie Sue: Maybe! But at least I'll be there with my friends!

  • Edna: [referring to Sam's backyard sculpture] Like it? What the hell *is* it?

  • Edna: Why you havin pain's in your chest?

    Mel: Because I don't have a job! Because I don't have a suit to wear. Because I'm having a God-damned nervous breakdown and they didn't even leave me with a decent pair of pajamas.

  • Mel: God... God... God... God...

    Edna: Mel?

    Mel: Huh?

    Edna: Can't you sleep?

    Mel: If I could sleep would I be laying here calling God at 2:00 in the morning?

    Mel: You have strength, Edna.

    Edna: I have ANGER! No strength.

  • Edna: Come on, Mel. I haven't seen you since breakfast yesterday, and I'm gonna' be fast asleep in 15 minutes. Talk to me. What did you do today?

    Mel: [with sarcasm in his tone] I took a *walk*!

    Edna: Good. Where?

    Mel: From the bedroom into the living room.

    Edna: That's all?

    Mel: Mm mm. Then I walked back into the bedroom... and once I went into the kitchen for a glass of water. I'd say that was my "high peak" of the day.

  • Edna: We've been robbed.

    Mel: What do you mean, "robbed"?

    Edna: Robbed. Robbed! What does "rob" mean? They come in, they take things out. You had 'em, now they got 'em. They used to be yours, now they're theirs. We've been robbed!

    Mel: Uh, I don't understand... You mean someone walked in here and robbed us?

    Edna: What do you think, they called up and made an appointment? We've been ROBBED!

  • Edna: If Mel could get out of New York and move to the country somewhere, he'd be one hundred percent better off.

    Harry Edison: I agree with you one thousand percent!

  • Edna: I thought you wanted to do something, help him.

    Harry Edison: We *do* want to help him!

    Edna: Then help him!

    Harry Edison: Not when he's sick. When he's better, we'll help him.

    Edna: Against whom?

    Mel: Against me!

    Edna: The whole country?

    Mel: Well, not against me personally. But they're after you, our kids, my family, every one of our friends. They're after the cops, hippies, the government, women's lib, the blacks, the fags, the whole military complex and even more.

    Edna: Who? You mentioned everybody, there's no one left.

    Mel: Oh, baby, there's someone left, all right.

  • Edna: Mel, who's behind the plot? Is it the kids? The addicts? The Army? The Navy? The Book-of-the-month Club? Who?

    Mel: It is the human race. The deterioration of the spirit of Man. Man undermining himself, causing a self-willed, self-imposed, self-evident self-destruction! That's what it is. That's who it is.

    Edna: The human race, Mel?

    Mel: Yes.

    Edna: The human race is responsible for the unemployment?

    Mel: You're surprised, aren't you?

    Edna: I never would've guessed. All this time, I kept thinking it was somebody else.

    Edna: Is he staying the night?

    Jack Carter: [not amused] Funny.

  • Edna: What's that gun doing in your room? Suppose I phone the police, told them there's a bloke in my hotel... who's planning to shoot somebody?

    Jack Carter: You wouldn't do that.

    Edna: How do you know I wouldn't?

    Jack Carter: 'Cause I know you wear purple underwear.

    Sutter: OR ELSE!
