So... you guys are scaring majors?

[chuckling]

We were, but none of us lasted very long. I guess we just weren't what old Hardscrabble was looking for. Don Carlton, mature student. 30 years in a textile industry, and then ol' dandy Don got downsized. Figured I could throw myself a pity party or go back to school and learn the computers.

Terry

Hello! I'm Terry with a 'Y'.

Terri

And I'm Terri with an 'I'. I'm a dance major!

Terry

And I'm not.

Terri

5, 6, 7, 8... [starts to dance while his brother rolls his eyes] 7, 8, turn! And tu... Why didn't you turn?

Terry

Because we never agreed to do this.

Terri

You said this was gonna be cool.

Terry

No one said this was gonna be cool.

Terri

Now I'm embarrassed.

Terry

Now you're embarrassed?

Terri

Yes, because it's in front of people!

Terry

You should wake up embarrassed.

Art
[rolls down the stairs]

Hey, hey! I'm Art! New Age Philosophy Major. Excited to live with you, and laugh with you... [changes his mood] And cry with you. I thought you'd like to keep a dream journal!

Guess that leaves me. [Sulley suddenly screams once seeing him] My name's Scott Squibbles. My friends call me Squishy. I'm undeclared, unattached and... unwelcomed pretty much everywhere but here.

Well now that we've all been introduced. As captain of our team...

[cuts him off again]

So basically you guys have no scaring experience?

[laughing]

Not a lot, but now we've got you!

Don

You're about the scariest fellow I've ever seen. Even with them pink polka dots.

Aww, thanks.

Well, actually, I think I bring the whole package.

[grabs one of Sulley's hands]

Your hands are as big as my face!

Terri
[referring to Sulley]

He's like a mountain... with fur!

Oh, come on. I don't even work out.

Art

Yeah, me neither. I don't wanna get too big. [sniffs]

[takes a picture of Mike and Sulley]

First morning in the house!

Art

That’s going in the album!

Art
[as Oozma Kappa are going to their first Scare Game challenge]

Of all the sewers in this school, this one has always been my favorite.

Terry

Art, you've been here before?

Art

I have a life outside the house, you know!

Brock

Let’s begin the first competition! The Toxicity Challenge!

Claire

Human children are toxic! [pointing to some human toys] ...And everything they touch is toxic.

Brock
[as Claire uses a metal claw, reaching into a crate and pulling out a urchin]

We don't have any human toys, but thanks to MU biology department, we found a close second - the Stinging Glow Urchin! Trust me when I say you are not gonna want to touch this bad boy.

Art

I wanna touch it.

Claire

And you certainly don’t want to touch any of its friends. [the members look behind them and see several Stinging Glow Urchins scattered on the ground]

Art

Yeah, I wanna touch ‘em.

Brock

This here is the starting line. The light at the end of the tunnel is the finish line.

Claire

And whoever comes in last is eliminated from the games.

Mike?

[startled]

Ah! What is it?

Does that mean if we lose we’re out?

Don’t worry, Smoothie... (Isn't it?)

[corrects him]

Squishy.

(Right.)

Squishy, we’re not gonna lose, because we have everything we need to win right... here. [points to his chest]

[smiling]

Heart.

No, me! I’m gonna win the race for us.

[pushes him out of the way]

Alright, alright, that’s very cute but move, move, move. I’m gonna win this.

It’s an obstacle course, what are you gonna do? Roar at it?

I can get through faster than you, little guy.

Don’t worry. Nobody reads the school paper.

Art

Yeah, but I’m pretty sure they read the quad.

[Mike and Sulley make their way through the dark house.]

Guys? Anybody home?

[Suddenly, a door creaks open and they step down into the basement.]

Hello? Fellas?

Don
[Mike and Sulley walk down into the candlelit basement, where the Oozma Kappa fraternity surrounds them, wearing black cloaks.]

Do you pledge your souls to the Oozma Kappa brotherhood?

[Terri and Terry hit him with a paddle]

Ow!

Terry

Do you swear to keep secret...

Terri

All that you learn here?

Art

No matter how horrifying?

[Squishy hits Sulley with paddle]

Hey!

[holding up the book]

Will you take the scared oath of the...

Don
[Suddenly, an extremely bright light turns on, flooding the basement.]

For crying out loud!

Mrs. Squibbles

Sweetie, turn the lights on while you're down here. You're going to ruin your eyes.

Mom, we're doing an initiation!

Mrs. Squibbles

Ooh, scary. [turns the lights back off] Well, carry on. Just pretend I'm not here.

This is my mom's house. Do you promise to look out for your brothers... [Mrs. Squibbles starts the washing machine; the washing machine starts kicking on louder] No matter what the peril... Will you defend Oozma Kappa? No matter how dangerous? No matter how insurmountable the odds may be? From evils both great and small?! In the face of unending pain and... Oh, forget it! You're in! [removes the hood]

Don

Look. We know we're no one's first choice for a fraternity. So, it means a lot to have you here with us.

Can't wait to start scaring with you, brothers?

[Squishy hands Mike and Sulley their fraternity caps and they reluctantly put them on. Terri and Terry spank Sulley with a paddle, which he angrily snatches and breaks in half]

Time for a celebration! Grab the couch cushions, gentlemen, 'cause we're building a fort! Mom, can we stay up late tonight?

Don

Expelled?!

Yeah, we really messed up.

So you're leaving?

Yeah, buddy. We have to go.

Art

Harsh, man.

I'm sorry, guys. You'd be in the Scaring program right now if it wasn't for us. [The rest of them smile shyly at each other]

What?

Don

Well, it is the gosh darnedest thing.

Terry

Hardscrabble's letting us into the Scare program!

What?

Terry

She was impressed with our performance in the Games.

Terri

She invited us to join next semester!

[chuckling]

Congratulations, guys!

Don

And that's not the only piece of good news - Sherri and I are engaged!

Oh... who's Sherri?

[sighing]

She's my mom.

Sherri
[squeals]

Well, if it isn't my two favorite fellas! [Don takes her in his arms and the two start kissing]

[sighing]

So uncomfortable...

Don

Aww, come on, Scott. I don't want you thinking of me as your new dad - after all, we're fraternity brothers first!

[sighing]

This is awkward...

Don

Just think of me as your big brother that's marrying your mother. Hold on - we're brothers who share the same mom/wife. That's worse...
