(Maddie hitched a ride with Helen after Incrediboy and Marcher Fan got taken home.)

Bob: Is the night still young?

Lucius: You're very late.

Bob: How do I look? Good?

Lucius: Oh, the mask! You still got the mask. (He takes Bob's mask off.)

Bob: [cracks neck] Showtime. (He proceeds to enter the church.)

Priest: Robert Parr and Lucius Best, will you two have these women to be your lawful wedded wives?

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.

Maddie: Cutting it kinda close, don't you think?

Lucius: You need to be more...flexible.

Helen: I love you, but if we're gonna make this work, you've gotta be more than Mr. Incredible. You know that. Don't you?

Priest: ...so long as you both shall live?

Bob and Lucius: I do.

Priest: I pronounce these couples husbands and wives.

[They kiss, as people are cheering and whistling. Gazerbeam, Stratogale, Dynaguy, Meta Man, Thunderhead, Edna and Rick Dicker can be seen for a few seconds clapping.]

Maddie: As long as we both shall live. No matter what happens.

Lucius: Hey, come on. We're superheroes. What could happen?

[The screen switches to a news flash.]

Announcer: In a stunning turn of events, a superhero is being sued for saving someone who, apparently, didn't want to be saved. The plaintiff, Oliver Sansweet, who was foiled in his attempted suicide by Mr. Incredible and Marcher Girl, has filed a suit against the famed superheroes in Superior Court.

Sansweet's Lawyer: Mr. Sansweet didn't ask to be saved, Mr. Sansweet didn't want to be saved! And the injury received from Mr. Incredible's and Marcher Girl's "action", so called, causes him daily pain!

Mr. Incredible: Hey, I saved your life!

Sansweet: You two didn't save my life, you two ruined my death! That's what you two did...!

Marcher Girl: Listen, you little piece of... [interrupted by her lawyer]

Mr. Incredible's Lawyer: My client has no further comment at this time.

Announcer: Five days later, another suit was filed by victims of the El Train accident. Incredible's and Marcher's court losses costed the government millions, and opened the flood gates for dozens of superhero lawsuits the world over.

Judge: It is time for their secret identities to become their only identity. Time for them to join us, or go away.

Announcer: Under tremendous public pressure, and the crushing financial burden of an ever mounting series of lawsuits, the government quietly initiated the superhero relocation program. The Supers will be granted amnesty from responsibility for past actions, in exchange for the promise to never again resume hero work.

Announcer: Where are they now? They are living among us. Average citizens, average heroes. Quietly and anonymously continuing to make the world a better place.
