(first lines; as he's falling from the sky.)
Megamind: (voiceover.) Here's my day so far; went to jail, lost the girl of my dreams, and got my butt kicked pretty good. Still, things could be a lot worse. Oh, that's right... I'm falling to my death. Guess they can't. How did it all come to this you ask? My end starts at the beginning, the very beginning! Yes, that's me. I had a fairly standard childhood. I came from what you might call a broken home, literally broken. I was eight days old and still living with my parents. How sad is that?! Clearly it was time to move on.
(to baby Megamind.)
Megamind's Mother: Here is your Minion, he will take care of you.
Megamind's Father: And here is your binky.
(He puts the binky into Megamind's mouth and then utters his last words to his son.)
Megamind's Father: You are destined...
(The ship closes and starts to take off.)
Megamind: [voice over] I didn't quite hear that last part, but it sounded important. Destined for... what? I set out to find my destiny. It turns out a kid from the Glaupunk Quadrant had the exact same idea. That was the day I met Mr. Goody-Two-Shoes. And our glorious rivalry was born!
(baby Megamind's ship is heading towards a large beautiful house.)
Megamind: [voice over] Could this be what I was destined for? A dream life filled with luxury?
(baby Metro Man's ship appears in front and crash lands into the beautiful house.)
Megamind: (voice-over.) Apparently not! Even fate has its favorites. No big deal. A much different fate awaited me.
(Megamind's ship lands in Metro City Prison.)
Lady Scott: A baby! How thoughtful.
(holds infant Metro Man in her hands.)
Lord Scott: (reading his paper.) Oh, yes, yes. I saw and thought of you.
(baby Megamind's ship opens and he sees the prisoners crowding around looking at him.)
Megamind: (voice-over.) Luckily I found a lovely little place to call home.
(to the other prisoners.)
Prisoner: Can we keep it?
(one of the prisoners is showing him picture cards of a policeman and a burglar.)
Megamind: (voice-over.) A place that taught me the differences between right and wrong. Mr. Goody-Two-Shoes on the other hand had life handed to him on a silver platter.
(baby Metro Man flies around the ceiling.)
Lady Scott: Our baby can fly!
(without looking he continues to read his paper.)
Lord Scott: Yes, yes, nothing but the best for you, darling.
Megamind: (voice-over.) The power of flight, invulnerability, and great hair! [the image freezes at Mr. GTS as the tip of his hair shines] But I had something far, far greater. My amazing intellect! A knack for building objects of mayhem. [Now riding a tricycle made out of Metro City license plates, baby Megamind rides down the hall with some of the inmates following him. His pacifier shoots a beam through the wall and is stopped by the warden.
(Megamind as a child is being escorted out of prison and taken to School)
Megamind: (voice-over.) 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.
