"The Incredibles": Staying Saved

The Incredibles follows the life of Mr. Incredible, a superhero dedicated to saving the world from evil. At the beginning of the movie, he vents his frustration to a reporter:

No matter how many times you save the world, it always manages to get back in jeopardy again. Sometimes I just want it to…STAY SAVED! You know…for a little bit.
I feel like the maid: "I just cleaned up this mess! Can we keep it clean for…10 minutes?!"

Elapsed Time: 00:01:26–00:01:41
