Sulley

Mike?

Mike

Look, it's not that I don't care about the kid.

Sulley

Mike, you don't understand.

Mike

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!

Mike

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.

Mike

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!

Mike

Hey, look at that, it's Randall. It's... Oh.

Get up, there can’t be any witnesses!

Randall

There won’t be!

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

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]

Oh, oh, yes. Now, that's my boy.

Sulley

What was that?

Mike

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

All right, Mr. Bile, is it?

Uh, my friends call me Phlegm.

Uh-huh. Mr. Bile, can you tell me what you did wrong?

I fell down?

No, no, before that. Can anyone tell me Mr. Bile's big mistake? Anyone? [a monster coughs, groans] Let's take a look at the tape. Here we go. [She rewinds the tape, then plays it. On the monitor, Thaddeus Bile sneaks into the bedroom, leaving the door open.] Right... there. [image freezes] See? The door! You left it wide open. [monsters let out a collective "ooh"] And leaving a door open is the worst mistake any employee can make because...?

It could let in a draft?

It could let in a child!

Oh, Mr. Waternoose.

There is nothing more toxic or deadly than a human child. A single touch could kill you! Leave a door open, and a child could walk right into this factory. Right into the monster world!

I won't go in a kid's room! You can't make me!

You're going in there because we need this. [grabs a scream can and angrily unlocks it, and the sound of children's screams leaks out, letting the lights and electric surge, corks it back] Our city is counting on you to collect those children's screams. [puts down the scream can] Without scream, we have no power! Yes, it's dangerous work, and that's why I need you to be at your best. I need scarers who are confident, tenacious, tough, intimidating. I need scarers like... like... James P. Sullivan!

Take him away.

I bet we get the rest of the day off.

YOU IDIOT! They're gonna shut down the factory!

Mike

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

Laughs...

Randall

Wazowski! Where is it, you little one-eyed cretin?!

Mike

Okay, first of all, it's "creetin". If you're gonna threaten me, do it properly. Second of all, you're nuts if you think kidnapping me is going to help YOU cheat your way to the top!

Randall

You still think this is about that stupid scare record?!

Mike

Well...I did. Right up until you chuckled like that. And now I'm thinking I should just get out of here.

Mike

You wanna know why I bought the car, Sulley?

Sulley

Not really.

Mike

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.

Mike

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

Randall

Look at everybody's favorite scarer now, you stupid pathetic waste. You've been #1 for too long, Sullivan! Now your time is up! And don't worry. I'll take good care of the kid.

Randall

You don't know how long I've wanted to do that, Sullivan!

Mike

Go ahead. Go throw up. [crew starts laughing] What? What did I say? What, what?

Randall

If I don't see a new door at my station in five seconds, I will personally put you through the shredder!

James P. "Sulley" Sullivan

Ook-lay in the ag-bay.

Don't you ever run away from me again, young lady!

Mike

First of all it's cretin, if you're going to threaten me do it properly!

Mike

Hello?
