I'm telling you, Big Daddy. You're gonna be seeing this face on TV a lot more often.
Sulley Yeah, like on "Monstropolis' Most Wanted"?
Ha, ha, ha. You've been jealous of my good looks since the fourth grade, pal.
Scenes with James P. "Sulley" Sullivan
13 scenes Sulley 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?
Sulley 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.
Can I borrow your odorant?
Sulley Yeah, I got, uh, smelly garbage or old Dumpster.
You got, uh, low tide?
Sulley No.
How about wet dog?
Sulley Yep. Stink it up.
Sulley [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.
Sulley 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.
Sulley 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!
Sulley [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?!
Sulley 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!
Well hello, little one. Where did you come from?
Sulley Mr. Waternoose.
Ah, James. Is this one yours?
Sulley Ah, actually that's my uh, cousin's sister's, er, daughter, sir.
Yeah, it's uh, "Bring an Obscure Relative to Work Day".
Hmm, must have missed the memo.
Sulley Mike, this isn't Boo's door.
Boo? What's Boo?
Sulley 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!
Sulley See? Ted walks to work.
Big deal. Guy takes five steps and he's there.

[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 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.
Sulley [It's Mike's turn]
Movie. Two Words. [Mike starts striking a pose] Star Wars.
How do you do that?
[after the CDA agents solved the 2319 situation on George and shaved him] [while getting himself some coffee]
Oh... what a day.
Sulley 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. [sips his coffee] James, this company has been in my family for three generations. I would do anything to keep it from going under.
Sulley So would I, sir.
Well... Say, I could use your help with something.
Sulley Anything, sir.
You see, we've hired some new scare recruits, and frankly, they're... they're, um... uh...
Sulley [confused]
Inexperienced?
Oh, they stink!
Sulley 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?
Sulley I'll start out with the old Waternoose Jump-and-Growl! [jumpscares Waternoose]
Sulley [is fighting the invisible Randall when he is hit with a snowball]
Mike?
Look, it's not that I don't care about the kid.
Sulley Mike, you don't understand.
Yes, I do. I was just mad, that's all. I needed some time to think, but you shouldn't have left me out there.
Sulley I'm being attacked!
No, I'm not attacking you. I'm tryna be honest; just hear me out. You and I are a team. Nothing is more important than our friendship.
[Boo approaches Mike, frightened]
I-I know, kid. He's too sensitive.
[Sulley is being strangled] Come on, pal. If you start cryin’, I'm gonna cry, and I'll never get through this. I'm sorry I wasn't there for you, but I am now. Hey, Sulley, I am baring my soul here. The least you can do is pay attention!
[he throws a snowball; it hits Randall, making him visible enough for Sulley to knock him out]
Hey, look at that, it's Randall. It's... Oh.
CDA Agent
[Outside the factory, The CDA agents shut Waternoose into the back of the van.] [taps on the door]
Take him away.
Smitty
[The van drives away.]
I bet we get the rest of the day off.
Needleman
YOU IDIOT! They're gonna shut down the factory!
[Everyone is shocked about what Needleman said. Mike and Sulley walk outside.]
I'm tellin' ya, pal, when that wall went up, you should've seen the look on Waternoose's face. Hoo-hoo! I hope we get a copy of that tape. [looks at sad Sulley] Hey, you alright? Come on, pal, cheer up. We did it! We got Boo home. Ah, sure, we put the factory in the toilet, and... gee, hundreds of people will be outta work now. Not to mention the angry mob that'll come after us when there's no more power, but hey! At least we had some laughs, right?
Sulley [As Mike continues walking, Sulley suddenly gets an idea and stops walking.]
Laughs...
