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

Page 5 of 5[about to dispose of Sulley]
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.
Look, it's not that I don't care about the kid.
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.
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?
[after the CDA agents solved the 2319 situation on George and shaved him] [while getting himself some coffee]
Oh... what a day.
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.
So would I, sir.
Well... Say, I could use your help with something.
Anything, sir.
You see, we've hired some new scare recruits, and frankly, they're... they're, um... uh...
Oh, they stink!
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?
I'll start out with the old Waternoose Jump-and-Growl! [jumpscares Waternoose]
Ms. Flint
[first lines; after Thaddeus Bile had an accident while trying to scare the child]
All right, Mr. Bile, is it?
Bile
Uh, my friends call me Phlegm.
Ms. Flint
Uh-huh. Mr. Bile, can you tell me what you did wrong?
Bile
I fell down?
Ms. Flint
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...?
Bile
It could let in a draft?
Ms. Flint
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!
Monster #2
[panicked]
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!
I'm tellin’ ya, pal, when that wall went up, you should have seen the look on Waternoose's face. Woo-hoo! I hope we get a copy of that tape. Hey, you all right? Come on, pal, cheer up, we did it. We got Boo home. Sure, we put the factory in the toilet, and, gee, hundreds of people will be out of 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 a few laughs, right?
