Monsters, Inc. Page #3

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.

I'll start out with the old

Waternoose jump-and-growl.

( growling loudly )

Ha! Oh, oh, yes!

Now, that's my boy!

( both laughing )

( ringing )

JERRY:

Let's go, everybody!

All doors must be returned!

No exceptions!

-Whoo!

-Oh, yeah.

I've never seen anything

like you today.

You were on

a roll, my man.

Another day like this

and that scare record's

in the bag.

That's right, baby!

Uh-huh.

So get this--

as if dinner wasn't enough

I'm taking her to

a monster truck rally afterwards.

Nice.

What's on your agenda?

I'm going to head home

and work out some more.

Again? You know, there's

more to life than scaring.

( sniffing )

Whew. Hey, can I

borrow your odorant?

Yeah. I got, uh...

smelly garbage or old dumpster.

You got low tide?

No.

How about wet dog?

Yep. Stink it up.

( growling )

You know, I am so romantic

sometimes I think

I should just marry myself.

Give me a break,

Mike.

What a night of romance

I got ahead of me.

Tonight is about me

and Celia.

Ooh, the love boat

is about to set sail.

( ioitating ship horn )

'Cause I got

to tell you, buddy

that face of hers,

it just makes my heart go...

Yikes!

Hello, Wazowski.

Fun-filled evening

planned for tonight?

Well, as a

matter of fact...

Then I'm sure you

filed your paperwork

correctly... for once.

Your stunned silence

is very reassuring.

Oh, no. My scare reports--

I left them on my desk

and if I'm not at

the restaurant in five minutes

they're going to give

our table away!

What am I going to tell...

Schmoopsie-poo.

Hey, Googley Bear.

Want to get going?

Do I ever!

It's just that...

What?

Uh, you know,

there's a small....

I don't understand.

It's just that I forgot

about some paperwork

I was supposed to file.

Mike was reminding me.

Thanks, buddy.

Whoo.

I was? I mean, I was!

Yeah, I was.

Oh, okay.

Let's go then.

We're going!

On my desk, Sulley.

The pink copies

go to Accounting

the fuchsia ones

go to Purchasing

and goldenrod ones

go to Roz.

Huh!

Leave the puce.

SULLEY:

Pink copies go to Accounting,

the fuchsia ones go to Roz.

No, fuchsia ones

go to Purchasing.

The goldenrod ones go to Roz.

Man, I have no idea

what puce is.

Oh, that's puce.

Hmm?

Uh, hello?

Anyone?

There's a door here.

Hmm.

( door latch clicking )

( door creaking )

( whispering ):

Hello?

Hey.

Psst.

Anybody scaring in here?

Hello?

Yo!

Hmm.

( speaking baby talk )

( stutters in fear )

( giggling )

( knives being sharpened )

PHOTOGRAPHER:

Hold it. Hold it.

( shutter clicks )

ALL:

Get a paper bag!

Mmm.

( laughing )

Oh, Michael, I've had

a lot of birthday...

well, not a

lot of birthdays

but this is the

best birthday ever.

Hmm.

What are you

looking at?

I was just thinking

about the first time

I laid eye on you--

how pretty you looked.

Stop it!

Your hair was

shorter then.

Mm-hmm. I'm thinking

about getting it cut.

( faint squeal of fear )

No, no, I like

it this length.

( sighs of relief )

I like everything

about you.

Just the other day

someone asked me

who I thought

the most beautiful monster was

in all of Monstropolis.

You know what I said?

What did you say?

I said...

Sulley?

Sulley?

No! No, no.

That's not

what I was going to say.

Mike, you're not making sense.

SULLEY:

Hi, guys!

What a coincidence,

running into you here!

Uh, I'm just going

to order something to go.

Michael...

Sulley!

I wonder what's good here.

Get out of here.

You're ruining everything.

I went back to get

your paperwork

and there was a door.

What?

( rattling )

A door?!

Randall was in it.

Wait a minute.

Randall?

That cheater!

He's trying

to boost his numbers!

There's something else.

What?!

Ook-lay in the ag-bay.

What?!

Look in the bag.

What bag?

( sighs )

( gasps )

( giggling )

Oh!

They don't have

anything I like here.

So take care, Celia!

Excuse me, sir.

What's going on?

Celia, please try

to understand.

I have to do something!

Michael?

PHOTOGRAPHER:

On three.

One... two....

( squeals and giggles )

( screaming )

A kid!

Boo!

( all screaming )

A kid!

There's a kid here--

a human kid!

( exclaiming in baby talk )

Oh!

CELIA:

Googley Bear!

( yelling )

( blows raspberry )

Come on!

( monsters screaming in terror )

MIKE:

Let's get out of here!

CDA HELICOPTER PILOT:

Please remain calm.

This is not a drill.

( siren wailing,

tires screeching )

CDA AGENT:

We have an 835 in progress.

Please advise.

Michael? Michael?

Oh, Celia.

-Please come with me.

-Ow. Stop pushing.

Hey, get your hands off

my Schmoopsie-poo!

Building clear.

Ready for decontamination.

Well, I don't think that date

could have gone any worse.

( explosion )

( electrical buzzing )

If witnesses are to be believed

there has been

a child security breach

for the first time

in monster history.

We can neither confirm nor deny

the presence of

a human child here tonight.

Well, a kid flew right over me

and blasted a car

with its laser vision!

I tried to run from it,

but it picked me up

with its mind powers

and shook me like a doll!

It's true!

I saw the whole thing!

It is my

professional opinion

that now is the time

to... panic!

Uh-oh.

( both yelling )

Oh, it's coming!

It's coming!

( giggling ):

Boo!

( both screaming )

( distant sirens wailing )

( delighted cry )

( yelling )

No, no, no, no, no!

Come here, kid.

Whee.

No, don't touch those,

you little...!

Oh, now

those were alphabetized.

It's okay, it's all right.

As long as it doesn't

come near us

we're going to be okay.

( sneezes )

( screams )

( yelling in pain )

( whimpering in fear )

Wanna ride on it!

Da, da-da.

Da-da-da.

Oh, y-you like this?

Fetch!

( giggles )

( gasps )

Hey, hey, that's it!

No one touches

little Mikey!

( whining )

Mike, give her the bear.

Oh, no.

( piercing scream )

( electrical buzzing and surge )

( screaming and crying
