FADE IN: So yeah, naturally the guy with the
“INSERT COIN” blinks on the menu screen of
FIX-IT FELIX, JR.
We hear a coin being deposited.
EXT. NICELAND - DAY
WRECK-IT RALPH is asleep inside his stump. A
voice-over kicks
in, sounding more like a confessional than a
traditional V.O.
RALPH (V.O.)
My name’s Ralph, and I’m a Bad Guy.
I’m 9 feet tall. I weigh 643
pounds. Got a little bit of a
temper on me. You know, my passions
bubble very near the surface, not
gonna lie.
A bulldozer removes Ralph and the stump.
Ralph’s head pops
out of the stump.
RALPH (ON-SCREEN)
Hey, you moved my stump!
ARRRGGHHHHHH!
Ralph throws a bit of a tantrum.
The NICELAND APARTMENTS are constructed
where the stump was.
RALPH (V.O.) (CONT’D)
Anyhoo, what else? I’m a wrecker. I
wreck -- professionally.
Ralph appears on screen in front of the Niceland
Apartments.
RALPH (ON-SCREEN) (CONT’D)
I’M GONNA WRECK IT!
Ralph wrecks the building. He throws a
Nicelander.
RALPH (V.O.) (CONT’D)
I’m very good at what I do.
Probably the best I know.
NICELANDERS
FIX IT FELIX!!!
RALPH (V.O.)
Thing is, fixing is the name of the
game. Literally, figuratively,
meta... physically...
FIX-IT FELIX arrives and starts fixing.
WRECK-IT RALPH 1
FELIX
I CAN FIX IT!!!
RALPH (V.O.) (CONT’D)
name Fix-it Felix is the good guy.
He’s nice enough as good guys go.
Definitely fixes stuff really well.
But if you’ve got a magic hammer
from your father, how hard can it
be...?
MARY
YOO-HOO!
MARY pops up in a window with a pie. Felix eats
the pie, and
a protective hard-hat appears on his head.
RALPH
I guarantee you if he had a
standard issue hammer like the kind
you’d get at the hardware store--
he would not be able to fix the
things I wreck as quickly.
The damage is repaired. The screen reads “YOU
FIXED IT!”
RALPH (V.O.)
When Felix does a good job, he gets
a medal.
A Nicelander places a little medal around Felix’s
neck and
gives him a peck on the cheek.
RALPH (V.O.)
Are there medals for the sweet
science of wrecking? To that I say,
“Ha.”
The Nicelanders pick up Ralph and thrown him
off the roof.
RALPH
Ahhhhhhhh!
He lands on the ground in the mud. KER-PLUNK.
RALPH (V.O.) (CONT’D)
... And no, there are not.
We pull back from the game console. We’re in...
LITWAK’S FAMILY FUN CENTER
The place is bustling.
WRECK-IT RALPH 2
CHIRON: “30 YEARS AGO.”
RALPH (V.O.) (CONT’D)
It’s not like I’m complaining.
Well, it’s a little like I’m
complaining. But I get it. I been
doing this long enough to know a
steady arcade gig’s nothing to
 sneeze at.
TIME LAPSE -- The arcade expands over the
years. Games get
wheeled out. New games get wheeled in.
Owner LARRY LITWAK
takes real good care of the place through the
years.
RALPH (V.O.) (CONT’D)
Seen a lotta games come and go. I
think about all those guys from
Asteroids? Boom! Gone. Centipede?
Who knows where that guy is. No, I
know I’m very lucky.
CHIRON: “TODAY”
RALPH (V.O.) (CONT’D)
It’s just after so many years, it
becomes kind of hard to love your
job when no one seems to like you
for doing it.
The arcade is older now, and all the games are
more modern. A
giant first-person shooter game gets wheeled
in. The arcade
closes. The “Open” sign shuts off.
The Dance Dance Revolution screen is visible in
the
background. On it we see a cycle of the dancer
dancing. The
dancer suddenly stops, peeks toward the
darkened “Open” sign.
INSET THE GAME: The dancer relaxes.
DANCER
(calling out)
THAT’S IT! ARCADE’S CLOSED!
She and her back-up dancers limp off, rubbing
their
shoulders, limping, stretching after a long day of
dancing.
INSET STREET FIGHTER GAME CONSOLE: Two
fighters, RYU and KEN
stop beating each other.
RYU
What a day. Want to head to
Tappers, Ken?
WRECK-IT RALPH 3
KEN
If you’re buying, buddy.
They put their arms around each other and walk
off screen.
BACK ON THE FIX-IT FELIX CONSOLE: Felix and
the Nicelanders
are on the roof.
FELIX
Quittin’ time!
We push through the game screen...
EXT. NICELAND - DAY
The game is now in hyper-realistic 3-D.
FELIX
Good job, everyone!
Felix and the Nicelanders exit the roof as we
pan down the
building and get a sense of the world.
RALPH (V.O.)
I dunno, maybe I wouldn’t be
feeling this way if things were
different after work. But as it is,
Felix and the Nicelanders go hang
out in their homes-- which he’s
just fixed.
Ralph picks himself up from the mud. He
watches sadly as the
Nicelanders ignore him and carry Felix to the
penthouse.
RALPH (V.O.)
And I head off to the pile of
garbage in the dump... where I
live. You might call it a lonely
cesspit of despair on the outskirts
of humanity...which would be
accurate. But I call it home.
Ralph climbs up the brick pile he calls home.
RALPH (V.O.)
I guess I can’t bellyache too much;
I got my bricks. I got my stump.
He pummels the bricks into dust and pulls a pile
of bricks
over him like a blanket. He stares longingly at
the building.
WRECK-IT RALPH 4
RALPH (V.O.)
It looks uncomfortable, but it’s
actually fine. I’m good.
CLOSE ON: Ralph, who sighs a very long sigh.
RALPH (V.O.)
But... if I’m really honest with
 myself, I see Felix up there,
getting pies all the time, acting
like Captain Fancy. And sometimes I
think...
RALPH’S POV: Through the penthouse windows,
he can see Felix
being ushered over by the Nicelanders to a
dinner table full
of delicious, warm entrées.
CLOSE ON RALPH: As he speaks out-loud.
RALPH
Man, it must be nice being the good
guy.
Applause. Pull back to reveal...
