Monsters, Inc. Page #4

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.

( buzzing continues )

( exclaiming in fear )

Make it stop, Sulley!

Make it stop!

Look!

See the bear?

( crying stops )

( electrical buzzing silents )

Ooh, nice bear.

( screams )

( buzzing resumes )

Sulley!

See?

Ooh, bear, ooh.

Oh, he's

a happy bear.

He's not crying,

neither should you

Or we'll be in trouble

'Cause they're gonna find us

( crying stops )

( electrical buzzing stops )

So please stop crying

Right now.

Good, good, Sulley.

Keep it up.

( Their lights remain normal power )

You're doing great.

Ooh, the happy bear,

he has no...

( screaming )

She touched me!

( crying )

( electrical buzzing starts up again )

Sulley, the bear!

( the buzzing voltage increases and decreases quickly )

The bear!

Give her the...

( crying stops )

( the buzzing returns to normal voltage while silencing again )

Whoa!

The books.. oof!

( loud bang )

( silence )

( The lights aren't surging while continuing so )

( giggles )

( lights flicker and stop)

( screaming with laughter )

( electrical buzzing occurs with more power

~ grows louder )

( The whole apartment complex lights up )

( light bulb shatters all around )

( giggles and quiets down )

What was that?

( thuoping )

I have no idea

but it would be

really great

if it didn't

do it again.

( giggles )

Shh, shh, shh.

Shh...

Shh.

Shh...

Ah!

How could I do this?

How could I be so stupid?

This could destroy

the company.

The company?

Who cares

about the company?!

What about us?

That thing is

a killing machine!

La-la-la-la-la-la

I bet it's just waiting

for us to fall asleep

and then wham!

Oh, we're easy prey,

my friend-- easy prey.

We're sitting targets.

Okay, look, I think

I have a plan here.

Using mainly spoons, we dig

a tunnel under the city

and release it into the wild.

Spoons.

That's it, I'm out of ideas.

We're closed.

Hot air balloon?

Too expensive.

Giant slingshot?

Too conspicuous.

Enormous wooden horse?

Too Greek!

( speaking baby talk )

No plan. No plan.

Can't think.

Can't think.

Flatlining.

Uh, Mike?

I think she's getting tired.

Well, then

why don't you

find someplace

for it to sleep?

While I think of a plan!

Are you sleepy?

You want to sleep?

Is that what you want?

Huh?

( crunching )

Okay, all right.

I'm making a nice

little area for you to...

( giggling )

No. Hey, hey,

that's my bed!

You're going to get

your germs all over it.

( sighing ):

Fine.

My chair is

more comfortable anyway.

( yells )

What?

( speaking fearfully )

It's just a closet.

Will you go to sleep?

Hey, that looks like Randall.

Randall's your monster.

You think he's going

to come through the closet

and scare you.

Oh, boy,

how do I explain this?

Uh, it's empty.

-See?

-Ah!

No monster in here.

Well, now there is

but I'm not going to scare you.

I'm off-duty.

Okay.

How about I sit here,

until you fall asleep?

Go ahead.

Go to sleep.

Now.

Now... go.

Uh, you...

go...

to...

sleep.

( ioitating snoring )

( giggles )

( sighs in relief )

( door creaks softly )

Hey, Mike,

this might sound crazy

but I don't think

that kid's dangerous.

Really? Well, in that case,

let's keep it.

I always wanted a pet

that could kill me!

Now, look.

What if we just put

her back in her door?

What?

Mike, think about it.

If we send her back,

it's like it never happened.

Everything goes back to normal.

Is that a joke?

Tell me you're joking.

Sulley, I'd like to think

that, given the circumstances

I have been extremely

forgiving up to now

but that is a horrible idea!

What are we going to do?

March right out into

public with that thing?

Then I guess we just waltz

right up to the factory, right?

I can't believe we

are waltzing right

up to the factory.

Sulley, a mop,

a couple of lights

and some chair fabric

are not going

to fool anyone!

Just think about

a few names, will you?

Loch Ness, Bigfoot,

the Abominable Snowman--

they all got one thing

in common, pal-- banishment.

We could be next!

Don't panic--

we can do this.

Hey, how you doing, Frank?

Hey, guys.

Everything's going

to be okay.

( gasping )

( equipoent buzzing loudly )

Number One wants this place

dusted for prints.

Careful with that.

I got a good view from here.

A little lower.

This was recovered

at the scene.

Don't panic.

Don't panic!

Don't tell me

not to panic.

Just keep it together.

Everything is not okay!

LITTLE GIRL:

Boo.

...could be contaminated.

Gentlemen, safety

is our number one concern.

If there's anything that...

Not now, not now.

Oh, hello, little one.

Where did you come from?

Mr Waternoose!

Ah,James!

Is this one yours?

Actually, that's my, uh,

cousin's sister's daughter, sir.

Yeah, it's, uh...

''Bring an Obscure Relative

to Work Day.''

Hmm, must have

missed the memo.

Well, listen,James

why don't you stop by

the simulator after lunch today

and give us

that scare demonstration

we talked about, huh?

Oh, oh, sir, uh....

Excuse me,

Mr Waternoose?

Yes, yes, I'm coming.

All right then, I'll see

you this afternoon,James.

That is, if these gentlemen

haven't shut us down.

Oh, boy.

Oh, a scare demo.

Well, that is great.

Why am I

the last to know?

We can bring your cousin's

sister's daughter along.

She'll be a big hit!

( equipment buzzing loudly )

Halt!

( yelling )

Stop him!

Hold him down.

Come on,

the coast is clear.

Okay, all we have to do

is get rid of that thing.

So, wait here while

I get its card key.

But she can't stay here.

This is the men's room.

That is the weirdest thing

you have ever said.

It's fine. It's okay.

Look, it loves it here!

It's dancing with joy!

Uh, uh, uh, uh.

I'll be right back

with its door key.

( laughs )

That's a cute little

dance you've got.

It almost looks

like you've got to...

( whining )

Oh.

( singing in baby talk )

( singing stops )

Uh, are you

done in there?

( squeals )

Ah! Sorry. Sorry.

( singing )

( toilet flushes )

Okay, you

finished now, right?

Hello?

( yells )

Boo.

( giggles )

( sighs )

( giggling )

( chuckles )

Where did she go?

Oh, did she disappear?

Did she turn invisible?

( giggling softly )

I just have no idea.

Gotcha!

Boo.

( giggles )

Hey, you're good.

( sighs )

Be relaxed,

be relaxed, be relaxed.

Roz, my tender,

oozing blossom

you're looking

fabulous today.

Is that a new haircut?

Come on, tell me.

It's a new haircut,

isn't it?

That's got to be

a new haircut.

New make-up?

You've had a lift.

You've had a tuck.

You've had something.

Something has been

inserted in your skin

that makes you look like...

( sighs )
