Dr. Gru: Lightbulb !!! (said anytime he has an idea)
Gru: (reading to the girls from a pop-up book) “Three little kittens started to yawn…”
Agnes: Now make them drink the milk.
Gru: Wow, this is garbage! You actually like this?
Gru: (to the girls) You will not cry, or sneeze or barf or fart! No annoying sounds.
Agnes: Does this count as annoying? (makes noises with her mouth)
(When referring to Gru)
Agnes: I like him, he’s nice

The movie was full of memorable quotes and jokes but the funniest characters were the minions. Most of the time you could not understand what said but their expressions and high pitched squeals stole the scene.
