Monsters at Work 2x10

1. Come on.

2. Let me tell you a story.

3. Me and Johnny go way back at MU.

4. We were practically joined at the hip.

5. Besties.

6. Cleetus, what is that?

7. What in tarnation?

8. He saved me from those swamp people, so I owed him one.

9. You see, Fear Co. had a problem.

10. Scream Power was kaput.

11. And Johnny needed to protect his family legacy.

12. So we cooked up a brilliant scheme.

13. We pretended to invent a Scream Amplifier

14. that would save the Scaring industry.

15. Ah.

16. Meanwhile, I used my very particular set of skills

17. to sneak into Monsters, Inc. in the dead of night

18. and nab the MIFTers' key to their holding pen,

19. steal those dummies' laugh energy

20. and then pass it off as our own.

21. I even rewired the empty canisters

22. so no one noticed the missing laugh energy.

23. Hmm.

24. Those clowns didn't have any idea what was going on.

25. Ha!

26. And then I tipped off the clueless media about the leaky canisters.

27. Who is this? I'm a big fan.

28. Hello? Hello?

29. Suddenly, Monsters, Inc. couldn't meet the energy needs of this city

30. and caused a catastrophic blackout.

31. Curse you, Laugh Power!

32. And along the way, I had some fun sticking it

33. to that one-eyed cretin Wazowski.

34. My lucky mint better be returned in pristine condition.

35. But I wanted nothing more

36. than to wipe that smug grin

37. off Sullivan's stupid blue face.

38. And we found some poor schmuck close to him to help us out.

39. Wait. Wait a second. I'm the schmuck?

40. You used me?

41. Tylor, Tylor.

42. I didn't use you, I chose you.

43. I've been watching you ever since you broke Sullivan's Scare Record,

44. and then I see you telling jokes at the homecoming game.

45. I knew your talent was being wasted at Monsters, Inc.

46. Yeah, but because of you,

47. all my friends hate me now.

48. Friends?

49. They are not your friends.

50. Did any of them stand up for you?

51. Well, I mean, no, but...

52. Tylor, I'm standing up for you.

53. The world is changing around us,

54. and I need your help to take it back.

55. Speaking of help, you know who didn't get any? Me.

56. Your phony Scream Amplifier is activated,

57. and so is my tennis elbow so thanks for that.

58. What? No. No, no.

59. You're mixing laughs and screams?

60. Yeah.

61. There is no Scream Amplifier.

62. Now, come on, kid. We got to get back out there.

63. Michael Wazowski, James Patrick Sullivan.

64. Uh, yeah. Who's asking?

65. M.E.R.C. Oh, M.E.R.C.

66. Uh... Attention.

67. Monsters, Inc. is now under the jurisdiction

68. of the Monstropolis Energy Regulatory Commission.

69. Halt all funny business immediately.

70. I repeat, halt all funny business immediately

71. and exit the building in a non-humorous manner.

72. You're wanted for questioning

73. about the blackout you caused.

74. We caused?

75. Hey, watch the fur. Call my lawyer.

76. Googly Bear.

77. Wait a second, I don't have a lawyer. Find me a lawyer!

78. One that works pro bono. Don't try to be soft.

79. Yes, we're bringing them to M.E.R.C. Headquarters now.

80. Preparing to transfer the city's power needs

81. from Monsters, Inc. to Fear Co. Fear Co.?

82. Folks, I just received this bulletin.

83. Sadly, M.E.R.C. has confirmed that Monsters Incorporated caused the blackout.

84. Once their supply of Laugh Power ran out,

85. it shorted out the entire power grid.

86. I knew it.

87. You know, it breaks my heart that the hardworking citizens

88. of Monstropolis don't have power.

89. But Tylor, our top Scarer and future face of Fear

90. has helped get our new Scream Amplifier up and running.

91. Johnny... Can I borrow you for...

92. It's just about...

93. Listen to him. So excited.

94. Now, trust me.

95. Power will be restored by 09:00 tonight.

96. Okay, so Jack and Jill... Hey, Johnny!

97. Johnny. Hold up. Wait.

98. of the Scream Amplifier.

99. Johnny, listen!

100. You cannot mix screams and laughs.

101. This whole building is gonna blow.

102. Like, explode?

103. It's okay. Relax.

104. I appreciate your concern,

105. but I've done my own research, okay?

106. But, uh, are you sure that's accurate?

107. Boo!

108. Oh, you still got it, Boggs.

109. I'm just warming up to scare some kids.

110. I hope I get a bed wetter, like Chet in college.

111. Good old Chet Wetter. They still call you that?

112. They should, Chet Wetter.

113. I just go by Chet now.

114. Whoa! See? Did you see that?

115. That is not good. Tylor, it's fine.

116. The energies are just mixing.

117. Everything is under control.

118. But, you don't... Okay, Chet Wetter,

119. let's put the Fear Co. banner over here. Mmm-hmm.

120. Okay. Yeah, front and center.

121. All Monsters Incorporated employees

122. exit the building now.

123. I repeat, all Monsters Incorporated employees

124. exit the building now.

125. Psst. Guys.

126. Guys, you still here?

127. Guys.

128. We gotta get Fendi out.

129. Oh. We can't leave her behind.

130. I don't understand.

131. We just worked so hard to get all the gigawatts we needed.

132. So how was there a blackout?

133. I know.

134. Tuskmon. Oh, boy, here we go.

135. Why are you here?

136. Look, I know you're all mad at me, and I get it.

137. But Randall Boggs is back. What?

138. He's been stealing Laugh Power for Johnny,

139. then making our canisters still look full.

140. And they were using me all along to do it.

141. Likely story from a traitor.

142. Look, I know I screwed up.

143. I want to fix this, but I... I can't do it alone.

144. Wait. If Randall stole our Laugh Power...

145. That means there were no leaks and...

146. It wasn't your fault.

147. I'm sorry.

148. Oh, me, too.

149. I'm even sorry for the incident.

150. I shouldn't have bought you the wrong orange juice.

151. I despise pulp, but it was never about the orange juice.

152. Okay, cool.

153. Uh, happy for you.

154. But getting back to more pressing matters,

155. Fear Co. caused the blackout.

156. There is no Scream Amplifier.

157. All they're doing is mixing

158. laugh and scream energy in the receiving station.

159. Johnny's gonna activate it at 09:00 p.m.

160. And when he does...

161. Permanent blackout.

162. Why?

163. Okay, MIFTers and extended work family,

164. we've got a nut that needs wrenching. Any ideas?

165. Uh... Hmm.

166. If only there was a way to separate the screams from the laughs.

167. Oh, sweet buttered toast.

168. Guess who's got an idea?

169. Waternoose's old scream extractor.

170. Yeah. Lucky we kept all the pieces.

171. Guess we've got to put it back together.

172. Listen up, every MIFTer, grab some parts,

173. even former ones.

174. I really want to hug, but there's no time to tell him

175. how much I miss and forgive him.

176. Oh.

177. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Life is too short.

178. Roger, I, uh...

179. I think I owe you an apology

180. for... Hey, I get it.

181. Look, if I heard me yelling at my dad on the phone

182. in a very angry, unsettling manner, I'd accuse me, too.

183. Probably not on live television.

184. But hey, forgiveness photo.

185. Oh, uh, okay.

186. Oh, hey. Hmm.

187. Save your pathetic apology tour for later, College Boy.

188. Now, if you're so smart, how do we actually get into Fear Co.?

189. I know a way,

190. but we're gonna need disguises.

191. Whoa!

192. Tylor, you're not... supporting me.

193. Sorry. I am trying to be a better friend.

194. No, not like that.

195. I need you to physically support me.

196. Stand up straight.

197. Whoa! Yeah, definitely an evil lair vibe going on here.

198. It's all clear.

199. Good thing I kept some of this Fear Co. swag from the creep show.

200. Fritz, where's your disguise?

201. Oh, I don't need one.

202. I do community theater on the weekend.

203. My performance shall be my disguise.

204. I'm Frankie Rigatoni. I'm really, really tough.

205. Hey, don't you look me in the eye.

206. Oh, oh.

207. Well, I'm quite intimidated.

208. Look, there it is.

209. The receiving station. Uh-oh.

210. So what now, College Boy?

211. Hey, Duncan, how would you like to be promoted to supervisor?

212. Yeah.

213. Hi, I'm Skyler.

214. I got to go number two and probably number six.

215. No can do, old man.

216. Got strict orders to guard this area.

217. Okay.

218. Skyler tried to hold it.

219. Ah, the station's been acting up all day.

220. Let's see what the old gauges say.

221. Hmm. All seems...

222. Oi.

223. Underling.

224. Uh... Declan?

225. As supervisor, I have reconsidered your request

226. for lavatory access, and I've granted it.

227. Oh, thanks.

228. I held in the number two,

229. but the number six,

230. yeah, it, kind of, squeaked out.

231. Speaking of relief,

232. you have been relieved from your post as well.

233. These two very scary, very loyal Scarers

234. will hold down the fort.

235. Hey, have I seen you

236. from somewhere?

237. What floor do you work on?

238. Uh...

239. I'm on floor none-of-your-business.

240. I'm Frankie Rigatoni.

241. I don't take no nothing from nobody.

242. And that nobody is you.

243. All right, Frankie, all right. We're cool, we're cool.

244. Call me nobody.

245. I'll have you know I am somebody.

246. Oh, yeah?

247. I'm gonna go egg that guy's car.

248. Come on. It's just over here.

249. Almost there. Heavier than I remember.

250. It's a good thing I work out.

251. All right, we've only got 15 minutes to put this together.

252. So we have to put a move on it.

253. Has anyone seen the doohickeys?

254. Doohickeys incoming.

255. Duncan!

256. Fastening the doohickeys to the thingamajig.

257. Roger. Rolling canisters to you.

258. I'm tightening these gaskets.

259. Why doesn't this fit?

260. What, is this metric?

261. Oh, uh, I think you might need a different one.

262. Huh? My family does own a hardware store.

263. Crazy first day, huh?

264. Yeah.

265. So how was yours?

266. You know, before learning about the whole Fear Co. is evil thing.

267. Not fun. My assistant kept trying to eat me.

268. Well, your hands are bite-sized.

269. We gotta hurry.

270. Okay, so here's the button to activate the Scream Amplifier, Johnny.

271. I did a good job, right?

272. Enough for a pay raise maybe?

273. My non-elective surgery is coming up.

274. Oh, Johnny. Hey.

275. There's the only news team I trust.

276. Especially you, Jill.

277. You always get my good side.

278. Uh, oh.

279. That's because your gorgeous face

280. doesn't have a bad side, Johnny.

281. You're embarrassing yourself, Jill. He's married.

282. Your hair glue is showing.

283. Yes, I'd love for this to air as soon as the power is back on

284. so all of Monstropolis can see they have Fear Co.

285. and Scream Power to thank.

286. What was that? Ah, you feel that?

287. Now, that's the power of Fear.

288. We're at T minus two minutes and counting.

289. Just say we have two minutes left.

290. We're almost done over here.

291. There's just one last nut that needs some wrenching.

292. Oh, there goes my wisdom tooth.

293. Goodbye, toothy. Thank you for your service.

294. Locked in.

295. Okay, hose connected.

296. My turn.

297. Extracting the screams now

298. so this place doesn't go kaboom.

299. Thank God.

300. We did it! All right.

301. It's working!

302. Guys, guys, shut the mouth holes.

303. According to this simple, multi-variable calculus I just did,

304. we got a problem.

305. There's not enough time to suck out the screams

306. before Johnny pushes the button.

307. Ah, what? Why is nothing ever easy?

308. Come on.

309. Somebody better buy us some time by stalling Johnny Boy.

310. Unicorn Sparkle, Donut Head needs you

311. for Operation Stall Johnny.

312. You in?

313. Uh, you know I can't say no to awesome code names.

314. Here, once it's all green, it's safe for Johnny to push the button.

315. If there's any red, we're all dead.

316. Oh. Sure hope they heard that last part.

317. Where did we go wrong, Sulley?

318. One day we're riding high as beloved leaders

319. of the top energy company,

320. and the next, we've fallen from grace.

321. We can't possibly go lower.

322. Sullivan, Wazowski.

323. Correction, we've gone lower.

324. As head of M.E.R.C., I had to shut you down

325. and transfer power rights over to Fear Co.

326. Wait a second, Fear Co.?

327. I need you to sign all this paperwork to make it official.

328. And I mean all the paperwork, Wazowski.

329. Got it? Huh?

330. Did Roz just wink at us?

331. Is she torturing me, or is she making

332. a disturbing romantic overture?

333. Oh, please be torture. Please be torture.

334. Maybe Roz knows something we don't.

335. Maybe the longer we take, the better.

336. Ah, I got this.

337. I better sign these with my full name.

338. So it'll probably take a while.

339. Of course. First name.

340. Michael.

341. Hey, hey! Whoa, whoa, whoa!

342. Did somebody touch something?

343. Yeah, I didn't touch nothing.

344. Hmm. Ooh.

345. Oh, the extractor is just unplugged.

346. I'll just put it back in its cozy little home.

347. Oh.

348. Oh. Oh, that's a bit weird.

349. Hello, little Waternoose.

350. Randall!

351. Hold it. Nobody messes with my Rogie

352. and gets away with it.

353. Oh, yeah? Good luck with that, chumps.

354. Oh!

355. Okay, so I'll be here.

356. And I'd love for you to get the banner in the shot, too, Kenny.

357. Uh, it's Carter, actually.

358. Okay. Thanks, Carl. Top notch.

359. Hey, Johnny. Ah, Tylor.

360. I knew you'd be back.

361. Oh, and you brought your friend.

362. Val, is it? Whoo! Yeah.

363. Let Fear power you. Down with laughter.

364. Well, it looks like we're inspiring monsters everywhere to join Fear Co.

365. Oh, and huge fan of what you're doing.

366. I'd love a tour of the whole place.

367. The longer, the better.

368. No.

369. You know, Tylor here

370. played a big part in all of this. Oh.

371. I could not have done it without him. Oh, I...

372. So it's only right that he be the one

373. to activate the Scream Amplifier.

374. Uh, oh, yeah, of course.

375. Yes. Come on, MIFTers.

376. Come on!

377. Folks, it's time to let Fear power you.

378. Uh, okay, uh...

379. Well...

380. Uh, hi. Me again.

381. Sorry to interrupt, but before we got here,

382. Tylor was saying how he'd like to take a moment

383. and, um...

384. A moment to, yeah, to thank Johnny.

385. Yeah, giving me, you know, this, this amazing opportunity.

386. Uh, you're welcome.

387. You see, it all began in eighth grade.

388. Fourth grade. Fourth grade?

389. Oh, yes, uh, it was in the fourth grade.

390. Hey, losers, over here!

391. If you want it, come and get it.

392. Ha! Too slow.

393. Then we get into my high school years,

394. which was the peak of my Scare Card collecting days.

395. So you, you can only imagine

396. how much it meant to see my face on one of these.

397. Oh, that's fascinating.

398. Just get to it already.

399. Thank you, Tylor.

400. Now, let's not leave the citizens of Monstropolis in the dark any longer.

401. Ah! Sorry about that. Oh, uh...

402. Whoops. Can't control these hands.

403. Ow!

404. We got him!

405. Ow! Losers.

406. Hey, Frankie's got you now.

407. Whoa!

408. You MIFT-fits are pathetic.

409. I don't see him!

410. We can't beat him if we can't see him.

411. Ha! In your face.

412. Hey, you, get the Drooler Cooler.

413. How are you thinking of refreshments at a time like this?

414. Oh, it's not for drinking.

415. It's for spraying two-bit punks.

416. I got you! Booger Blast.

417. That's the stickiest flavor.

418. That's the idea.

419. Oh.

420. Whoa, whoa. Don't, don't worry. I'm coming.

421. Going somewhere, chump?

422. Declan.

423. No.

424. What do you think you're doing? Ow!

425. Johnny, filming.

426. Oh, sorry.

427. I, I don't know my own strength.

428. Why has it stopped?

429. As you can see, I've been classically trained.

430. Nice beard. Indeed, I drew it myself.

431. Come on.

432. Look out! Oh!

433. You witless prat!

434. There can be only one!

435. What? Get him, Tylor!

436. Oh, yeah, get him!

437. Kick him in the horns. Get his pretty boy face. Don't hit my Johnny.

438. No, no, no, not the face.

439. Watch out!

440. Whoops.

441. Give me that.

442. Over here. Have at you!

443. Oh, look out!

444. You've lost, losers!

445. No.

446. Monstropolis, this is for you.

447. Whoo-hoo! Yay!

448. We did it!

449. That's for all the bed-wetters out there.

450. At least I can grow a proper beard.

451. How dare you?

452. Mother says the only one allowed to have facial hair is...

453. Hello, citizens of Monstropolis.

454. I'm Johnny Worthington of Fear Co.

455. And I am proud to announce your power is back on,

456. thanks to our company's Scream Amplifier.

457. That is a lie!

458. There is no Scream Amplifier.

459. Fear Co. is running on stolen Laugh Power.

460. No, no, no, no, no, no. That can't be true.

461. My Johnny would never. Yes! Ratings gold!

462. No, no, no, no, no. Tylor is clearly confused.

463. He's not, and I can prove it.

464. This device shows there are currently no screams

465. in Fear Co.'s power supply.

466. It's all Laugh Energy stolen from Monsters, Inc.

467. What? What's wrong?

468. Oh, you could have programmed this to say anything.

469. Why are you ruining this?

470. I told you, you can't escape who you are.

471. I'm not.

472. I'm embracing it.

473. And you should embrace who you are.

474. A fraud.

475. A fraud? You ungrateful little...

476. I gave you everything.

477. If I am a fraud, then what does that make you?

478. Huh? Huh?

479. You're not funny enough to be a jokester.

480. You're too afraid to be a Scarer.

481. The only thing you're good for is being a pawn.

482. He might be a pawn, but he's our pawn.

483. You mess with him, you mess with all of us.

484. Well, well, well, told you, Jill. Batting a thousand.

485. Whoa, whoa, whoa. What is all this?

486. M.E.R.C.? What are they doing here?

487. Well, hello, everyone.

488. What?

489. You're coming with us. Hang on a second

490. You can't do this to me.

491. Oh, hey, here's some trash for you.

492. Thanks.

493. I am a hero of this community!

494. Your fraudulent Scream Amplifier scheme says otherwise.

495. We've had someone on the inside, too.

496. Chet?

497. Well, you should really treat your assistants better.

498. You forgot one thing, Worthington.

499. We're always watching. Huh?

500. This is preposterous!

501. You'll hear from my lawyers.

502. Ow! That pinches. You're pushing.

503. You're pushing. Sorry, Johnny.

504. Looks like Laugh Power is the future.

505. A city full of monsters will never get a...

506. You can't make kids laugh. You're a joke.

507. You're a joke.

508. He's right.

509. I am a joke, a joke of a friend.

510. Val, I'm so sorry

511. I wasn't supportive of you when you got the jokester job offer,

512. which you, you totally deserve, by the way.

513. I mean, I... I should have been there for you.

514. You know... like you've always been there for me.

515. You know, you're, you're, you're an incredible friend.

516. And you got the donuts, you know,

517. and you added the fun little stickers.

518. And I, you know, tried to buy some on my own,

519. but the glitter just didn't sparkle the same.

520. Oh, I forgive you, you big doofus.

521. Oh, love wins.

522. Right, Jill? Drop dead.

523. Okay, fine. Yeah, that's nice and all,

524. but my Johnny's right.

525. Monstropolis still doesn't believe in Laugh Power.

526. Okay, then let's sell them on it.

527. Follow me. You too, Carter.

528. Huh? She knows my name?

529. Gladly.

530. Wait.

531. No, no, no. That's, uh...

532. That's Ben's door.

533. Um, yeah, I really scared him earlier.

534. I, I don't think he'll want to see me ever again.

535. Hey, it's okay.

536. We'll face it as a team.

537. Yeah, but you're the funny one.

538. You don't need me. But I want you there.

539. Unless our pinkie promise meant nothing to you.

540. Hey, Ben.

541. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

542. Ah, it's okay.

543. It's okay. Go away!

544. Ben, Ben, Ben, it's okay, it's okay.

545. I don't believe we've ever met.

546. I'm Val, Tylor's best friend.

547. And he feels really bad about what happened.

548. Yeah, really, really bad.

549. You know, I was just wondering if you had a best friend, too.

550. Yeah. Nico.

551. Has Nico ever been, uh, upset with you?

552. Yeah.

553. There was one time I made him really mad.

554. What did you do to make up?

555. I said sorry.

556. And then we high-fived so hard, our hands stung.

557. Huh.

558. Well, my hands are pretty tiny,

559. so they might be kind of hard to hit.

560. What do you say?

561. I'm... I'm sorry, buddy.

562. Whoa!

563. Ben, have you ever heard the epic tale

564. of Unicorn Sparkle and Donut Head?

565. Um, I don't think so.

566. Well, it all started in college,

567. when Unicorn Sparkle gave Donut Head

568. his favorite candy, Hots Nots.

569. Hots Nots? Ew!

570. They became best buds.

571. They went to MU, where Donut Head told a joke in front of a huge crowd.

572. Oh, oh, oh. What was it?

573. What did the sea monster have for dinner? Ooh, what?

574. Fish and chips.

575. Fish and chips?

576. Funny, right?

577. Well, nobody else thought so.

578. Okay, okay, okay.

579. So your delivery was a little bit better than mine.

580. Hey, how we doing?

581. Good to be here, uh...

582. Uh, creme brulee, s'il vous plait?

583. No!

584. Oh, no, it's the streaker!

585. Whoa!

586. This is so fun!

587. Mmm-hmm.

588. Work buds forever.

589. Home run, kid.

590. Home run.

591. Today, Fear Co.'s Johnny Worthington reported to jail

592. after being convicted of stealing Laugh Power from Monsters, Inc.

593. His cellmate is none other than Henry J. Waternoose III.

594. All right!

595. Johnny's accomplice, Randall Boggs,

596. escaped custody and remains at large.

597. Even though he is, relatively speaking, rather small.

598. I wrote that joke.

599. And rest assured, he...

600. One more second.

601. Rest assured, ladies and gentlemen,

602. Detective Duncan P. Anderson is on the case.

603. And I won't... Excuse me?

604. Sorry, one second.

605. I won't rest... Ow!

606. Until justice... That's my mother's coat.

607. Until justice... It's vintage.

608. Until justice is served!

609. He's not affiliated with us.

610. Monsters, Inc is now powering the entire city with laughter.

611. And yes, even I've come around to it,

612. but I don't want to hear one word about it from Jack.

613. Okay. How about four?

614. I told you so.

615. Ow! Ah, my toupee.

616. I mean, my real hair.

617. Come and get 'em, everybody.

618. Out of the press, everybody. We've got newly created jokester cards.

619. Carla. Phlegm, congratulations.

620. And for you, Banana Bread.

621. Richard. Skyler's funny now.

622. Pull my finger. No, thank you.

623. Fool me once.

624. Actually, it was twice, Mike.

625. Well, we're all done over here.

626. Another door station fixed by yours truly,

627. Frankie Rigatoni with sauce.

628. Fritz is still in character, huh?

629. Yeah, but I think I got a solve.

630. And cut!

631. Oh. Hi, everybody.

632. Okay, all right. How was that?

633. You want another take?

634. I can do it a whole different way.

635. And last, but definitely not least, Val and Tylor,

636. your jokester card.

637. Yeah, it's going to be worth a lot someday.

638. You know, some say Sulley and I

639. were the very first unofficial duo.

640. Well, except Sulley's not funny.

641. My approach to comedy is less desperate than Mikey.

642. Desperate? You can't talk to your boss like that!

643. Oh, so now you're in charge?

644. Only when it suits me.

645. Ready to go, partner?

646. Work buds forever.

647. Tylor, Val!
