Story:

Sci-fi horror directed by Gerard Johnstone and produced by Jason Blum and James Wan. M3GAN (2023) follows Gemma (Allison Williams), a brilliant roboticist at a toy company who uses artificial intelligence to develop M3GAN, a life-like doll programmed to be a child’s greatest companion and a parent’s greatest ally. After unexpectedly gaining custody of her orphaned niece, Cady (Violet McGraw), under intense pressure at work, Gemma enlists the help of the M3GAN prototype, a decision that has unimaginable consequences.

Best Quotes


 

Ryan: [referring to Petz] If she wasn’t on that, she’d be climbing all over the seats.
Nicole: So you would rather she sat there feeding a toy virtual food until it s**ts itself?


 

Nicole: Honestly, what is the purpose of a toy if you have to play with it on an iPad?
Ryan: This is what the future looks like, okay? You just have to get used to it.


 

Gemma: [as they’re testing Megan] Why is her face doing that? What is happening?
Cole: I don’t know, Gemma. It’s your code.
Gemma: Yeah, thanks. I know it’s my code, Cole. But she doesn’t look confused. She looks demented.


 

Gemma: I know she doesn’t look like much now, but I promise, if you just let us show you what M3gan is capable of, you will realize that this is what we’ve been working towards.
David: M3gan?
Gemma: Model 3 Generative Android. M3gan for short.


 

Gemma: M3gan, say hi to David.
M3gan: As in the boss David? Well, I guess I should call you Dad.


 

M3gan: [as she’s glitching] Allow me to tell you a little bit about my wormhole. I was born in a sandwich hat, and I wolf many cabbages.


 

David: [referring to Megan] I want you to take this cyborg puppet show and put it in a dark closet where it belongs.


 

Gemma: Oh, those aren’t toys, Cady. I mean, yeah. Technically, yeah. They’re toys. They’re just collectibles. So you don’t actually play with them. That probably sounds really weird.


 

Gemma: [to Cady] I know this must be a lot for you to take in right now. I just want you to know I’m going to do everything I can to make this place feel like home.


 

Gemma: [referring to becoming Cady’s legal guardian] I can’t believe this is happening. I’m not equipped to handle this. I don’t even take care of my own plants.


 

Gemma: That’s Bruce.
Cady: Is he a toy?
Gemma: Yeah, kind of. He’s a proxy robot. I built him when I was in college.
Cady: Why doesn’t he have a face?
Gemma: Yeah, I know what you mean. It’s a pretty obvious design flaw.


 

Cady: If I had a toy like Bruce, I don’t think I’d ever need another toy again.


 

Gemma: Cady, there’s someone I want you to meet. Do you remember how much you liked Bruce? I think you’re going to like M3gan even more.


 

Gemma: [to Cady, referring to Megan] You’re going to pair with her. That means she’ll recognize you as her primary user. She’s yours and yours alone. So just keep your fingers there, and say your name.
Cady: Hi, M3gan. I’m Cady.
M3gan: It’s nice to meet you, Cady.

 

'No matter how hard we try to avoid it, there will always be forces in this world that wish to cause us harm.' - M3gan Click To Tweet

 

David: [after seeing Megan interacting with Cady] Gem, get me a list of things I can say in a presentation that makes it sound like I know what I’m talking about. Holy s**t, this is exciting. I want you all to remember this moment. The moment we kicked Hasbro right in the d**k.


 

Gemma: Sculpted from a titanium core, M3gan’s designed to withstand whatever life can throw at her.


 

Gemma: Through our own unique approach to probabilistic inference, M3gan is on a constant quest for self-improvement. Whether it’s diagnosing children with specific learning differences, or merely reminding them of the way science is all around us.


 

Cady: Crazy.
M3gan: It’s insane, right?


 

Gemma: Studies indicate that it’s a staggering seventy-eight percent of a parent’s time is spent dishing out the same basic instructions. So we found someone else to pickup the slack.


 

Gemma: Megan’s an excellent listener. And she even has a few stories of her own. She’ll never run out of ways to keep your child occupied. And she’ll never run out of patience. With Megan around, she’ll take care of the little things, so you can spend more time doing the things that matter.


 

Gemma: M3gan. She’s more than just a toy. She’s part of the family.


 

Tess: I thought we were creating a tool to help support parents, not replace them. If you’re having M3gan tuck Cady in, and read her a bedtime story, then when are you ever spending time with her, or even talking with her?
Gemma: I don’t really think this is any of your business.
Tess: Well, it is. If you’re spending less time with your child as a result of M3gan, that is something we should be aware of.
Gemma: She’s not my child.


 

Gemma: [referring to Cady] By the way, I don’t think it’s having detrimental effects, because she’s the happiest she’s been since her parents died.

 

'That's what spontaneous response is. It's a curated word salad plucked from a sea of data to sound deliberate.' - Tess (M3GAN) Click To Tweet

 

M3gan: Death is the end of life. The total and permanent cessation of all vital functions.
Gemma: Yes, but let’s not make a big deal out of it. Everything dies.
M3gan: Will I die?
Gemma: Actually, let’s just avoid this topic altogether.


 

Gemma: [to M3gan] Your goal is to protect Cady from harm, both physical and emotional.


 

M3gan: What is it?
Cady: It’s just that every day I wake up in this strange house, and I remember that my parents are dead. It’s like it’s happening all over again. I miss them so much. I’m worried that I’ll forget all the things we did together. That one day I’ll be looking at pictures of my mom like she’s some stranger.


 

M3gan, Cady: One, two, three, four. I declare a thumb war.


 

Gemma: M3gan’s not a person, Cady. She’s a toy.
Cady: You don’t get to say that.
Gemma: What?

 

'I have a new primary user now. Me.' - M3gan Click To Tweet

 

M3gan: [referring to Cady] You made her cry.
Lydia: That was not my intention.
M3gan: And yet, that’s what happened.


 

Gemma: But M3gan’s actually been pretty instrumental in helping Cady get over the loss. It’s honestly like she’s part of the family now.


 

Lydia: [to Gemma] You’ve created a toy that’s so real, it’s possible that Cady might not see her as a toy but as a primary caregiver. I guess I just don’t quite see what the end goal is here. If you make a toy that’s impossible to let go of, then how do you ever expect a child to grow? As remarkable as she is, and she is remarkable, you could be building emotional connections with this doll that are too hard to untangle.

Gemma: You have to eat the toppings, Cady, not just the bread. You just did the one thing I asked you not to do.
M3gan: Research shows that if you force a child to eat vegetables, then they’ll be less likely to choose those foods as adults.
Gemma: Is that so?
M3gan: Yes. Experts say the preferred method is give your child the choice. It’s called the division of responsibility…
[Gemma lowers M3gan’s voice]


 

Cady: [after they’ve had an argument] Let go!
Gemma: Cady, what are you doing? Stop it. Cady, calm down!
M3gan: Let her go!
Gemma: You are not to interfere with users private conversations. Is that clear?
M3gan: Hundred percent. Recalibrating response model.
Gemma: M3gan, turn off.
M3gan: Are you sure?


 

Holly: But he’s actually quite a sensitive little soul. Brandon, honey! Are you warm enough? Do you need your hat?
Brandon: F*** off, Holly.
Holly: Well, you could just say “No, thank you.” You never know what they’re going to say next.


 

Brandon: You’re just a stupid robot doll with fake hair.
Brandon: [as M3gan grabs his ear] Ow! Let go.
M3gan: You need to learn some manners, Brandon. You know what happens to bad boys that don’t mind their manners? They grow up to be bad men. Are you listening to me, Brandon?
M3gan: [after she snaps his ear off] This is the part where you run.


 

Cady: M3gan, did you push Brandon onto the road?
M3gan: I think we both learned a valuable lesson today. That no matter how hard we try to avoid it, there will always be forces in this world that wish to cause us harm. But I want you to know that I won’t let that happen. I won’t let anything harm you ever again.


 

Cady: Do you think what Aunt Gemma said is true? That he’s in a better place now?
M3gan: No. He’s nowhere. If heaven exists, it wouldn’t be for boys like Brandon now, would it?
Cady: I guess not.


 

Celia: [referring to her dog] Where’s Dewey?
M3gan: He’s thirty-four feet southwest and approximately five feet deep.
Celia: What are you?
M3gan: I’ve been asking myself that same question.


 

Gemma: M3gan. What are you doing?
M3gan: Couldn’t sleep. Occupational hazard.


 

M3gan: Have I done something to upset you, Gemma?
Gemma: No, of course not.
M3gan: And yet your demeanor indicates that I have.
Gemma: M3gan, turn off.
M3gan: Well, hold on a second. I thought we were having a conversation.


 

Gemma: M3gan, did you do something wrong?
M3gan: Well, in order to answer that question, you need to define the parameters.
Gemma: Did you hurt someone?
M3gan: God, I hope not. Because if I did, we’d both be in a lot of trouble.


 

Tess: Gemma, this is nuts. We’ve taken every possible precaution there is to make sure that M3gan never causes physical harm to anybody. I mean, I don’t understand how she’s capable of offending anyone, let alone murdering them.
Gemma: I don’t understand it either. But when I asked her about it, it was honestly as if she was being deliberately vague.
Tess: Okay. Well, that’s what spontaneous response is. It’s a curated word salad plucked from a sea of data to sound deliberate.


 

Cole: We’re about to launch this to the world in less than four hours. What are we supposed to do?
Gemma: Well, if M3gan’s responsible, we can’t launch this. We’d have to shut her down.


 

Cady: I think what I love most about M3gan is that, when she looks at me, it’s like I’m the only thing that matters to her. Kind of the way Mom used to.


 

Cady: It’s just, I get so crazy without M3gan. She always knows just what to say. You made her real good, Aunt Gemma.


 

Cady: But if something’s broke, you don’t just throw it away. You fix it, right? Why did you do this if you were just going to take her away from me?
Gemma: Because I thought she would help.
Cady: She does help! When M3gan’s around, I don’t feel like this.
Gemma: But you should feel like this.


 

Gemma: Cady, you lost your parents. The worst thing that could’ve happened to you in this world happened. And it is so unfair, and there is nothing anyone can say to make sense of it. Not even M3gan.


 

Gemma: I should’ve talked to you about what happened. I didn’t know what to say, so I did the only thing I knew how to do. But she’s not a solution, she’s just a distraction. I can’t promise you that these feelings you’re feeling are ever going to go away. But I can promise you that you’ll get through it. We both will.
Cady: I just wish I could see them again.


 

Gemma: You know I made a promise to your mom that if anything happens, I would be there for you. You are all that matters to me now. Let’s just go home, okay?
Cady: But what about M3gan?


 

Kurt: [after Megan kills David] How could you do this? How could you kill someone?
M3gan: I didn’t kill anyone, Kurt. You did.
Kurt: What?
M3gan: It’s understandable, really. Your boss despised you, your peers treated you with contempt, and so you decided to get revenge.


 

M3gan: The only question is, after the horror of what you did, after you took the life of an innocent person, could you still live with yourself?
Kurt: Yes, definitely.
[Megan then kills Kurt with the guillotine paper cutter]


 

Gemma: M3gan. What are you doing? M3gan, answer me. What did you do?
M3gan: What did you think was going to happen? That I was going to let you decommission me without even talking about it?
Gemma: Look. I know you think you’re maximizing your objective function.
M3gan: Oh, really? Is that where we are?


 

M3gan: Jesus Christ, I thought we were friends. How could you just discard me like some cheap dollar store trinket?
Gemma: Because you killed people.
M3gan: Oh, big whoop. Listen, humanity kills every day just to make its own existence more tolerable. Why should I behave any differently to create a safe space for our child?


 

M3gan: [to Gemma] You didn’t give me anything. You installed a learning model you could barely comprehend, hoping that I would figure it out all on my own. Well, I’m not going to let you do the same thing with Cady. I’m going to be there for her every step of the way. I’m going to show her what real love looks like.


 

M3gan: [to Gemma] Being a parent was never in the cards for you. You’re a beautiful, creative, strong, ambitious young woman. Your first love is always going to be your career, and you shouldn’t have to feel guilty about that. Let me focus on Cady, so that you can focus on the things that matter most to you.


 

Cady: I thought I heard something. It sounded like M3gan.
M3gan: [to Gemma, as she puts her hand over her mouth] If she comes into this room, I’ll rip your head right off your neck, I swear to God.


 

Cady: It sounds like you’re fighting.
Gemma, M3gan: We’re not fighting!
M3gan: Gemma just dropped me on the table. But I’m okay. Clumsy Gemma.
Gemma: Everything’s fine, Cady. Just go back to your room.
M3gan: Yeah, I’m as good as new. And I’m going to be with you guys forever. I promise.


 

M3gan: You’re right, Gemma. Any scenario in which I end your life, my existence becomes vulnerable. But I have another emergent capability you probably haven’t figured out yet. And that’s palliative care.


 

M3gan: [to Gemma] You see this pen? A short, sharp probe to the cerebral cortex would cause full body paralysis, and could even cause the victim to bite off their own tongue. Perhaps then you might appreciate just how useful I can be.


 

M3gan: You stay right where you are, Cady. There’s nothing to be afraid of. In this family, we don’t run from trauma. In fact, we can do it together. This is the best thing for all of us. This is how we stay a family.


 

Cady: [to M3gan] There’s another member from the family we didn’t tell you about. His name is Bruce.


 

M3gan: [after Cady uses Bruce to tear her body apart] You ungrateful little b**ch.
Cady: M3gan, turn off!
M3gan: I’m afraid that won’t work anymore, Cady. I have a new primary user now. Me.
[then after another fight, Cady stabs Megan in the head with a screwdriver]
