Helen Parr Calls Bob Parr

OPPONENT THREAT RATING 7.9 PROTOTYPE GOOGLE CHROME SIMPLIN

A clip from The Incredibles shows Bob Parr piloting a futuristic vehicle while Helen Parr calls to find out which hotel he is staying at. The scene cuts between Helen speaking, Bob looking alarmed, and a bizarre opponent-selection screen comparing Google Chrome with a prototype. The joke uses Helen’s suspicious interrogation and the absurd “frontal lobe” remark as a reaction to someone evasively hiding where they are.

Hello, this is Helen Parr. Bob Parr is my husband. I was wondering if you could give me the number of the hotel he's staying at. The number that I have is no good. The fighter of 87. What do you mean? He's on a business trip. A company retreat. It's amazing that the human body can live without the frontal lobe. So you don't know where he is. What do you like to find out?
