10 scenes

I'm telling you, Big Daddy. You're gonna be seeing this face on TV a lot more often.

Yeah, like on "Monstropolis' Most Wanted"?

Ha, ha, ha. You've been jealous of my good looks since the fourth grade, pal.

[Sulley has insisted on walking to work]

You wanna know why I bought the car, Sulley?

Not really.

To drive it! You know, like on the street, with the honk-honk and the vroom-vroom, and the no walking involved?

Wa, wa, wa, wa. Will you give it a rest, butterball? C'mon, you could use the exercise.

I could use the exercise? Look at you! You have your own climate.

[Boo has just laughed, and caused a blackout in Sulley's apartment]

What was that?

I have no idea. But it would be really great... if it didn't do it again.

Oh, 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!

[Boo is bubbling harmlessly]

It's just waiting for us to fall asleep, and then bam! We're easy prey, my friend! Easy prey! Sitting targets! [turns to his desk] Okay. 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!

[Boo shows Sulley her drawing of him and her, then yawns and rubs her eyes.]

Mike... I think she's getting tired.

[smiles]

Well, why don't you find some place for it to sleep [suddenly angry] while I think of a plan?!

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!

Mike, this isn't Boo's door.

Boo? What's Boo?

That's... what I decided to call her. Is there a problem?

Sulley, you're not supposed to name it. Once you name it, you start getting attached to it! Now put that thing back where it came from, or so help me--! [everyone looks at him funny] Oh, hi. We're rehearsing a scene for the upcoming company play called, um, Put That Thing Back Where It Came From, Or So Help Me! It's a musical! [sings] Put that thing back where it came from or so help me/So help me/So help me--- and cut!

[A special Theatrical Trailer for those watching Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone ]

Okay, another Saturday night alone means only one thing: Charades! Your turn, Sulley.

[Sulley picks a piece of paper and reads it. He mimes a book.]

It's a book!

[Sulley mimes a camera]

A book...and a movie! Okay, two words. First word:

[Sulley points to fur under his arm]

Smelly. Stinky! [Sulley points to more fur] Furry, hairy, hairy, Harry! [Sulley nods] "When Harry met Sulley!" ...is not it. Okay, second word:

[Sulley picks up a flower pot and mimes digging]

Okay, you're digging, you're digging dirt. Harry, dirt..."Dirty Harry!"

[Sulley puts some flowers in the pot]

Okay, you've got flowers in the pot. "Harry Flowers"? "Harry Flower Pot?"

[Sulley puts on a pair of glasses with a lightning bolt attached to them, holds a toy owl in his hand and pretends to ride a broomstick]

Oh, I've got it! "The Sound of Music"!

[Sulley gives up, throws the glasses and owl aside and walks out]

Hey, where are you going? [Sees the glasses, figures it out] Wait, wait! I've got it! Harry Pot-
Monsters Inc.
Now playing at a theater near you.
Really near you.
Like, maybe, next door.

[It's Mike's turn]

Movie. Two Words. [Mike starts striking a pose] Star Wars.

How do you do that?
