Monsters, Inc. Page #2

Synopsis: A city of monsters with no humans called Monstropolis centers around the city's power company, Monsters, Inc. The lovable, confident, tough, furry blue behemoth-like giant monster named James P. Sullivan (better known as Sulley) and his wisecracking best friend, short, green cyclops monster Mike Wazowski, discover what happens when the real world interacts with theirs in the form of a 2-year-old baby girl dubbed "Boo," who accidentally sneaks into the monster world with Sulley one night. And now it's up to Sulley and Mike to send Boo back in her door before anybody finds out, especially two evil villains such as Sulley's main rival as a scarer, chameleon-like Randall (a monster that Boo is very afraid of), who possesses the ability to change the color of his skin, and Mike and Sulley's boss Mr. Waternoose, the chairman and chief executive officer of Monsters, Inc.

Shut up!

-( phones ringing )

-Monsters, Inc. Please hold.

Monsters, Inc. I'll connect you.

Ms Fearmonger is on vacation.

Would you like her voice mail?

Oh, Schmoopsie-poo.

-( snakes squealing )

-Googley Bear!

Happy birthday.

Oh, Googley-woogley,

you remembered!

Hey, Sulley-wulley.

Oh, hey, Celia...

weelia.

( clears throat ):

Happy birthday.

Thanks.

So, uh... are we going

anywhere special tonight?

I just got us

into a little place

called, um...

Harryhausen's.

( gasps )

Harryhausen's?!

But it's impossible to

get a reservation there!

Not for Googley Bear.

I will see you

at quitting time

and not a minute later.

Okay, sweetheart.

Think romantical

thoughts.

# You and me

# Me and you

# Both of us together! #

You know, pal, she's the one.

That's it.

She is the one!

I'm happy for you.

Oh, and, uh,

thanks for hooking me up

with those reservations.

Oh, no problem.

They're under the

name Googley Bear.

Oh, good ide...

You know,

that wasn't very funny.

( gasps )

What the...?

Wazowski!

( screams )

( grunts )

( chuckling )

What do you know?

It scares little kids

and little monsters.

I wasn't scared.

I have... allergies.

( coughing )

Uh-huh. Sure.

Hey, Randall, save it for

the scare floor, will you?

I'm in the zone today,

Sullivan.

Going to be doing

some serious scaring.

Putting up some big numbers.

Wow, Randall.

That's great.

That should make it

even more humiliating

when we break the record first.

Ha, ha!

Shh, shh, shh,

shh, shh.

Do you hear that?

It's the winds of change.

( mocking voice ):

''You hear it?

You hear the winds of ch...?''

Oh, what a creep.

One of these days,

I am really...

going to let you

teach that guy a lesson.

( deep croaking )

( liquid squishing )

Chalooby! Baby!

MIKE:

Good morning, Roz

my succulent

little garden snail.

And who would

we be scaring today?

Wazowski, you didn't file

your paperwork last night.

Oh, that darn paperwork.

Wouldn't it be easier

if it all just blew away?

( chair squeaking )

Don't let it happen again.

Yes, well, I'll, uh...

I'll try to be less careless.

I'm watching you, Wazowski.

Always watching.

Whoo! She's nuts.

Always!

CELIA ( over P.A. ):

All scare floors are now active.

Assistants, please report

to your stations.

( metallic clunk )

( machine beeps, bell dings )

( bell dings )

( clanking and whirring )

( chime rings )

Okay, people,

eastern seaboard coming on-line.

We got scarers coming out!

( dramatic brass fanfare

playing )

Ooh, they're

so awesome.

( knuckles cracking )

( clanging and growling )

( snarls )

( blowing )

( growling )

Hey... may

the best monster win.

I plan to.

( bell ringing )

We are on in seven... six...

five... four... three...

two...

( horn blaring )

( growls )

You're the boss.

You're the boss.

You're the big,

hairy boss.

( child screaming )

( bell dings )

Oh, I'm feeling

good today, Mikey!

Yeah!

MIKE:

Whoa!

Attaboy.

Attaboy.

Another door coming right up.

( whirring and clanking )

( child screaming )

( bell dings )

( growling )

You're still behind,

Randall.

You know, maybe I should

realign the scream intake valve.

Just get me

another door!

A door! Yes, door!

( child screaming )

( bell dings )

( bells dinging )

( beeping )

( metallic clanking )

( click and hiss )

( children screaming )

( bells dinging )

( children screaming )

Well,Jerry, what's

the damage so far?

We may actually

make our quota today, sir.

Hmm. First time

in a month.

( gurgling and burping )

Huh?!

( door buzzing )

( screaming and sobbing )

What happened?

The kid almost

touched me!

She got this close

to me!

She wasn't

scared of you?

She was only six!

I could've been dead!

I could've died!

Keep it together, man.

( whistling )

Hey! We got a dead

door over here!

-We're coming!

-Coming!

-Look out!

-Out of the way!

-Coming through!

-Excuse us.

( whimpering )

We've lost 58 doors

this week, sir.

Oh, kids these days.

They just don't get

scared like they used to.

Let her rip!

( buzzing )

( metallic clank )

( eerie blubbering )

( child screaming )

( bell dings )

Uh, sir?

What?!

Look.

CELIA ( over P.A. ):

Attention.

We have a new scare leader:

Randall Boggs.

( snickering )

( assistants cheering )

( children screaming )

( knuckles cracking )

Slumber party.

( laughing )

Whoo!

( beeping )

CELIA ( over P.A. ):

Never mind.

Hey! Watch it!

( Sulley laughing )

Well, James, that was

an impressive display!

Oh, just doing my job,

Mr Waternoose.

Of course, I did

learn from the best.

( both laughing )

If I don't see a new door at

my station in five seconds

I will personally

put you through the shredder!

( screams )

Hey, Wazowski, nice job!

Those numbers are pretty sweet.

Are they?

You know,

I hadn't even noticed.

And, uh...

how is Georgie doing?

He's doing great!

I love working

with that big guy.

( child screaming )

Keep the doors coming,

Charlie.

I'm on a roll today.

George and I

are like brothers.

( gasping ) 2319!

We have a 2319!

( gasping )

( alarm blaring )

COMPUTER VOICE ( over P.A. ):

Red alert! Red alert!

Red alert! Red alert! Red alert!

FEMALE ( over P.A. ):

George Sanderson

please remain motionless.

Prepare for decontamination.

Get it off!

JERRY:

Duck and cover, people!

Oh, not the CD A.

( siren wailing )

CDA AGENT 1:

Move! Move! Move!

Coming through, please.

Stand aside.

CDA AGENT 2:

Clear the contaminated area.

( screams )

CDA AGENT:

This is a 231 9 in progress.

Keep the area clear.

Coming through.

Watch yourself.

( grunts )

( whimpering )

Stand back.

Careful.

( metallic clang )

( drills whirring )

( all gasping )

( muffled explosion )

( drills whirring )

All clear.

Situation is niner-niner-zero.

Ready for decon.

Hey, thanks, guys.

That was a close one.

Okay.

( shears buzzing )

( screaming )

( whimpering )

( ripping )

( screaming )

JERRY:

Okay, people, take a break!

We got to shut down

for a half-hour

and reset the system.

An entire scare floor

out of commission.

What else can go wrong?

Oh... what a day.

We're just going through

a rough time, sir.

Everyone knows you're going

to get us through it.

Tell that to the

board of directors.

( slurping )

James, this company

has been in my family

for three generations.

I would do anything to

keep it from going under.

Oh, so would I, sir.

Well...

Say, I could use your help

with something.

Anything, sir.

You see, we've hired

some new scare recruits

and frankly, they're...

they're, um... uh...

Inexperienced?

Oh, they stink!

Uh-huh.

And I thought maybe

you might come by tomorrow

and give them a demonstration.

Show them what it takes

to be a top scarer, huh?
