The Emoji Movie Quotes

The Emoji Movie quotes bring the laughs to the film about one emoji who doesn't seem to fit in among the other emojis who live in one boy's phone. The animated comedy movie was directed by Tony Leondis using a screenplay he co-wrote with Eric Siegel and Mike White. The Emoji Movie opened in theaters in the United States on July 28, 2017.

In The Emoji Movie, high school freshman Alex (voiced by Jake T. Austin) receives a text from his crush, Addie (voiced by Tati Gabrielle). But when Alex tries to respond with a meh emoji, Gene (voiced by T. J. Miller) makes the wrong face. 

Gene has always felt out of place in a world where he's supposed to be a meh emoji as he's always felt a range of emotions, well beyond meh. But when he meets Jailbreak (voiced by Anna Paris), she sees a way for Gene to fix his mistake and feel better about himself at the same time. But to do that, they need to embark on a fantastic adventure through Alex's phone.

With additional voice work from James Corden, Maya Rudolph, Patrick Stewart, Christina Aguilera and Sofía Vergara, among others, The Emoji Movie joined theaters already showing other summer 2017 movies including The Dark Tower, Detroit, Dunkirk, and Despicable Me 3.  

Phone: We have an incoming text. We are go for meh.
Gene: Who, me?
Bomb: What’s he doing?
Dizzy Face: He’s making the wrong face!
Addie: Huh? What the heck? 

As Alex responds to Addie's text with what is meant to be a meh emoji, the emoji team inside his phone prepares to send. So when in these The Emoji Movie quotes Gene makes the wrong face, the process ends horribly bad.

Hi-5: Welcome to the loser lounge where the emojis who never get used hang out.
Eggplant: What’s up Hi-5?

After Gene's screw up, he is sent to the loser lounge. As Hi-5 explains, this is where the lesser-used emojis hang out to share their boring lives.

Gene: I’m an emoji, I’ve got to have some sort of purpose here.
Jailbreak: I’m going to help you. We need to get off the phone and find the source code.
Gene: Then I can fit in.

When Gene is feeling out of place among the other emojis in these The Emoji Movie quotes, Jailbreak comes to his side. She sees a way to help him and needs to find the source code to do that.

Jailbreak: What’s Alex’s girlfriend’s name again?
Hi-5: It was Tina.
Firewall: Access denied
Hi-5: Karen... Sarah... I want to say Lupita, but that doesn’t feel right now that I’m saying it out loud.

Gene, Jailbreak and Hi-5 try their best to get through Alex's phone's firewall. But considering none of them know the password or the name of Alex's girlfriend, it doesn't go too well.

Jailbreak: I think you’re pretty cool just the way you are.
... 
Gene: My feelings are huge. Maybe I’m meant to have more than just one emotion.

Alex: Dude, shhh, she's right there! 
...
Alex: What should I write? 
Alex’s Friend: Be chill
Alex: What?
Alex’s Friend: Send her an emoji.
Alex: Okay, be cool

...
Mel: Son, please tell me you weren’t just laughing right now. What if you get sent out on the phone making the wrong face?
