HAS EVER WON THE SCARING OLYMPICS.
BUT THIS YEAR, THE TROPHY OF CHAMPIONS IS GOING TO BE MINE.

THERE'S NO TIME!
COME ON!
[ chomping]
[ giggles]
[ belches]
Ickis: AFTER ALL THIS WE BETTER WIN.
OF COURSE WE'RE GOING TO WIN.

OH, ICKIS, FAH!
YOU WANT TO WIN, DO YOU NOT?
OF COURSE I DO.
WELL, THEN, IN ORDER TO WIN
WE HAVE TO TRAIN!
[ belches]
YOU DO NOT THINK
WE HAVE BEEN WORKING TOO HARD?
[ giggling]
WELL, UM, I MEAN...

KRUMM, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
I'M... FINE.
[ laughing]
I JUST... [ laughing]
THERE'S YOUR ANSWER, OBLINA.
KRUMM IS CRACKING UP.
HE CAN'T TAKE THE STRESS ANYMORE.
NONSENSE.
KRUMM IS JUST, HE'S...
[ laughing hysterically]
OH, KRUMMY, POOR, POOR LOST KRUMMY.
[ stomach gurgles]
WHEW, WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?
OH, POOR KRUMM, ALL THIS TRAINING
HAS TAKEN ITS TOLL ON YOU.
NO, IT HASN'T.
THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH ME.
I'M... [ laughing]
FINE.
OF COURSE YOU ARE.
EVERYTHING IS JUST GREAT.
WE'LL LOSE FOR SURE.
WAIT TILL THE GROMBLE FINDS OUT.
FINDS OUT WHAT?
I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT THE OLYMPICS.
WE CANNOT WAIT TO WIN, WIN, WIN.
GOOD. THE MOMENT HAS ARRIVED.
HUDDLE UP.
I'D LIKE TO SAY A FEW WORDS
BEFORE WE TAKE THE FIELD OF COMPETITION.
WHEN THE GAMES BEGIN TODAY
I WANT YOU TO REMEMBER
THAT WINNING ISN'T EVERYTHING.
IT'S THE ONLYTHING!
[ laughing]
IS ANYTHING WRONG?
DO YOU FIND MY PEP TALK AMUSING?
NO, SIR, I FIND IT VERY INSPIRING.
I SEE, YOU THINK
MY WANTING TO WIN THE TROPHY OF CHAMPIONS
IS A JOKE!
UM, YOUR GROMBLENESS, MAY I?
DON'T TRY TO COVER FOR HIM, OBLINA.
I KNOW A QUITTER WHEN I SEE ONE.
NO, I WANT US TO WIN, I REALLY DO.
I'D KICK YOU OFF THIS TEAM IF I COULD
BUT THE RULES WON'T ALLOW ME.
YOU'LL BE OUT THERE WITH US, BUT YOU WON'T COMPETE.
YOU'RE GOING TO SIT THERE
AND WATCH HOW REALWINNERS PLAY.
ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?
[ laughing]
I'M HEARTBROKEN.
[ growling]
Monster: FELLOW MONSTERS, I BID YOU WELCOME
TO THE 535th ANNUAL ALL-DUMPS MONSTER SCARING OLYMPICS.

BETWEEN OUR TWO FINEST SCHOOLS.
MEGA-MONSTER TECH
COACHED BY LOMBAR
THE INTIMIDATOR.
[ all cheering]
AND THE MONSTER SCARING ACADEMY
UNDER THE LEADERSHIP
OF THE GROMBLE.
[ all cheering]
ARE YOU SURE THOSE ARE ON TIGHT?
MMM...
[ clamps creaking]
[ laughing]
PERHAPS WE SHOULD START THE FIRST EVENT.
EVENT ONE: THE LONG JUMP.
THE ACADEMY WILL GO FIRST.
GO ON, ICKIS, MAKE ME PROUD.
[ growling]
[ screams]
24 FEET, EIGHT INCHES.
YES! YES!
ICKIS, YOU ARE BRILLIANT!
NEXT UP, SMELLDOOR.
[ cheering] [ cheering]

MEGA-MONSTER TECH WINS THE EVENT.
[ cheering] [ cheering]

Judge: AT THE END OF REGULATION TIME WE HAVE A TIE.
[ droning]
YES, WE HAVE A TIE!
HOORAY!
WE DO NOT WANT A TIE, ICKIS, WE WANT TO WIN!
A TIE IS WORTHLESS.
WE HAVE TO WIN THE TIE-BREAKER!
WHAT IS THE TIE-BREAKER, YOUR GROMBLENESS?
Judge: THE FACE-TO-FACE CHALLENGE SCARE.
ONE PAIR FROM EACH TEAM WILL ENTER THE FIELD.
THE FIRST MONSTER TO SCARE THE OTHER IS THE WINNER.
PERFECT, OBLINA.
GO OUT THERE AND...
IT'S CALLED THE CHALLENGE SCARE
BECAUSE EACH TEAM
MUST CHOOSE THE MEMBER OF THE OPPOSING TEAM
THEY WISH TO SCARE.
[ giggles] [ gasps]
GROMBLE, YOUR TEAM MAY CHOOSE FIRST.
SOME CHOICE.
UH... THE MIDDLE ONE.
LOMBAR?
HMM.
I THINK WE'LL PICK...
[ muttering]
[ laughing]
HIM!
YOUR GROMBLENESS, I...
LISTEN TO ME, LAUGHING BOY
THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT MOMENT OF MY LIFE.
IT IS NOT A JOKE.
YOU GET OUT THERE
AND SCARE THAT MONSTER.
AND NO LAUGHING!
YOU MAY BEGIN SCARING.
[ roaring]
[ laughing]
WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU?
AREN'T YOU SCARED?
I'M... [ laughing]
TERRIFIED.
[ roaring]
[ laughing]
WHAT IS WRONG WITH HIM?
I'M GOING TO LOSE.
I'LL NEVER GET THE TROPHY.
AND ALL HE CAN DO IS LAUGH!
[ all laughing]
THIS IS...
[ giggles]
THIS IS... [ laughs]
SERIOUS.
I... [ laughing]
I HAVE TO WIN THE TROPHY.
[ laughing]
STOP LAUGHING AT ME!
[ yelling]
KRUMM IS THE CHAMPION!
[ drones]
YES, YES, YES, YES!
YES!
YOUR GROMBLENESS, HERE'S YOUR TROPHY.
YOU WON!
[ laughing]
KEEP IT!
IT BELONGS TO YOU!
[ laughing]
KRUMM, NOW I KNOW WHY YOU LAUGHED AT ME.
YOU WERE TEACHING ME A LESSON
ABOUT HOW SILLY IT IS
TO BE BLINDED BY THE DESIRE
TO WIN AT ALL COSTS, AND I THANK YOU FOR IT.
EW!
GLAD THAT'S OUT OF ME.
WHAT IS THAT?
I TRIED TO TELL YOU
THAT THING WAS INSIDE ME AND IT WAS TICKLING ME.
THAT'S WHY YOU WERE LAUGHING?
YEP.
SO, YOU WEREN'T TEACHING ME
A LESSON ABOUT WINNING?
NO.
ISN'T IT GREAT?
YES, IT'S MAGNIFICENT.
AND I KNOW JUST THE PLACE IN OUR ROOM TO PUT IT.
COME ON.
KIDDING... [ laughing]
I WAS KIDDING ABOUT THE TROPHY BEING YOURS.
STOP, YOU CAN GIVE IT BACK NOW.
[ laughing]
IT'S MY TURN TO HOLD IT.
[ sobbing]
[ laughing]
[ dog barking]
[ Oblina screaming]
[ screaming]
[ dog barking]
[ monsters panting, screaming]
OH, NO!
WE'RE GONERS!
[ dog growling]
FOLLOW ME!
[ dog barking]
[ all screaming]
Krumm: OOF!
WE MADE IT, WE MADE IT!
YEAH, WE MADE IT.
ALL RIGHT.
I HATE TO THROW
A BUCKET OF WATER ON THIS LOVE FEST
BUT THERE'S NO WAY OUT OF HERE.
NONSENSE.
WE SHALL SNEAK BACK OUT
THE WAY WE CAME IN.
Oblina: JUST AS I SUSPECTED.
THE BARK-AND-BITE HAS GONE.
[ dog growling]
[ screaming]
WE MAY BE HERE AWHILE.
OH, NO, WE'RE NEVER GETTING OUT OF HERE!
WE'RE DOOMED, DOOMED, I TELL YOU!
DOOMED.
OH, STUFF A CORK IN IT, ICKIS.
WHY MUST YOU ALWAYS PANIC?
"WE'RE DOOMED, WE'RE GONERS, THE SKY'S FALLING."
I WOULD NOT HAVE TO PANIC, LITTLE MISS TEACHER'S PET
IF WE'D GONE HOME WHEN WE WERE SUPPOSED TO.
"OH, I CERTAINLY MUST HAVE ONE MORE SCARE."
YOU KNOW, I'M GETTING A LITTLE TIRED
OF YOU TWO ARGUING ALL THE TIME.
YOU'RE ALWAYS, "YAH NA-NA NA NAN-NAN."
AND "ARR-RRR-RRR VI-VI-VIN."
Both: WHO ASKED YOU?
FINE, I NEVER WANT TO SEE
OR HEAR YOU TWO AGAIN.
FINE. WHO NEEDS EITHER ONE OF YOU.
FINE.
FROM THIS MOMENT ON
OBLINA SCARES SOLO.
HOW DID WE EVER BECOME FRIENDS
IN THE FIRST PLACE?
[ echoing]: IN THE FIRST PLACE?
[ creaking]
OOH, OUR FIRST DAY AT THE ACADEMY.
I AM SO EXCITED, AREN'T YOU?
I CAN FEEL IT IN THE AIR.
Monster: WHO ARE YOU?
[ tapping]
UM, MY NAME IS OBLINA.
AND YOU ARE?
THE NAME'S ICKIS.
YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF MY FATHER, SLICKIS?
[ gasps] OH!
YOU ARE THE SON OF THE GREAT SLICKIS
THIS ACADEMY'S MOST ESTEEMED GRADUATE?
THAT'S RIGHT, SISTER.
AND DON'T THINK THEY'D MAKE
THE SON OF SLICKIS SHARE A ROOM.
I THINK NOT.
SO, YOU JUST PACK UP
YOUR CUTE DOLL AND YOUR PHONY ACCENT
AND HIKE ON DOWN THE HALL.
I'M, I'M SO SORRY FOR THE MIX-UP.
IT WAS JUST SUCH AN HONOR TO MEET YOU.
PLEASE FORGIVE MY INTRUSION AND... MY ACCENT.
BUT I DON'T WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL!
[ screams]
OBLINA? ICKIS?
MEET YOUR NEW ROOMMATE... KRUMM.
PLEASE, LET ME GO HOME.
I DON'T WANT TO BE IN SCHOOL.
I CAN'T TAKE THIS KIND OF PRESSURE.
OH, KRUMM, HOMESICKNESS IS
A COMMON PROBLEM FOR YOUNG STUDENTS.
BUT I HAVE EVERY CONFIDENCE THAT YOU WILL SOON
GET OVER IT!
YOUR EXCELLENT GROMBLEHOOD
YOU JUST CALLED US "ROOMMATES."
I'M ASSUMING YOU MISSPOKE SINCE...
ICKIS, THE FIRST THING YOU SHOULD LEARN:
THE GROMBLE NEVER
I REPEAT, NEVER MISSPEAKS.
TA TA.
[ slams door]
[ all talking]
[ burping loudly]
[ students talking...]
[ clears throat]
[ ...and talking]
[ Gromble clears throat]
[ clearing throat]
SILENCE!
[ all gasping]
THANK YOU.
NOW, THE MOST IMPORTANT THING
FOR A MONSTER TO LEARN IS HIS OWN UNIQUE SCARING TECHNIQUE.
[ crying]
THAT'S WHY I WANT ALL OF YOU NEW STUDENTS
TO OPEN YOUR MONSTER MANUALS TO CHAPTER ONE
"GETTING IN TOUCH WITH THE MONSTER IN YOU."
[ snickers]
MONSTER MANUAL!
I DON'T NEED NO STINKING MONSTER MANUAL!
ICKIS, DO YOU HAVE A COMMENT
YOU'D LIKE TO SHARE
WITH THE CLASS?
I WAS JUST SAYING SOMETHING REALLY
STINKS GOOD.
[ sobbing]
CLASS, ICKIS IS, OF COURSE, THE SON OF THE GREAT SLICKIS.
Class: OOH! WOW!
WHY DON'T YOU SHOW
THE CLASS HOW YOUSCARE, ICKIS?
WELL, I DON'T WANT TO SHOW OFF.
[ screaming]
OOH!
[ gagging]
BUT IF YOU INSIST, UH...
YOU SEE, MY DAD IS A GREAT LOOMER
AND SO AM I.
AT THE BLINK OF AN EYE HE LOOMS UP HUGE
TOWERING OVER HIS PREY AND...
HMM.
[ grunting]
[ giggles nervously]
[ trying to roar]
[ hiccups]
[ shouts, giggles]
[ cries]
UM, YOU KNOW I ALMOST GOT IT.
[ snapping]
[ clears throat]
OBLINA?
PERHAPS YOU COULD SHOW US
WHAT YOU'VE GOT?
[ clears throat]
I HAVE, UH, I WILL NOW ATTEMPT TO PULL MY GUTS OUT.
I HOPE YOU ENJOY IT.
[ gagging]
THAT'S IT?
YOUR TONGUE?
OOH, SCARY.
[ growling]
UM... BOO?
[ groaning]
IT'S NO USE, YOUR GROMBLENESS.
I'M A FAILURE, SEND ME HOME.
SURELY, KRUMM, THERE MUST BE SOMETHING
ABOUT YOU THAT'S FRIGHTENING.
EVERY MONSTER HAS AT LEAST ONE THING.
NOT ME.
[ sniffing]
HMM...
SOMETHING TELLS ME IT'S NOT A GOOD IDEA
FOR YOU THREE TO GO ON YOUR FIRST SCARE ALONE.
THEREFORE I'M SENDING YOU THREE OUT TOGETHER.
THREE MONSTERS, ONE EASY SCARE.
TRY NOT TO BLOW IT!
OOH!
GOODNESS GRACIOUS
IT'S JUST A CAULIFLOWER.
S-SILLY ME.
FOR A MOMENT
I THOUGHT IT WAS AN ALIEN LIFE FORM.
[ whispering]
TALK ABOUT EASY.
THIS GUY'S AFRAID OF VEGETABLES.
[ laughing]
I'LL HANDLE THIS.
WAIT, WAIT.
WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE A TEAM.
WE NEED A PLAN.
I'LL GO FIRST.
THAT'S YOUR PLAN, YOU FIRST?
NOTHING DOING, SWEETHEART.
ME FIRST!
NO, ME!
ME!
LET'S JUST GO HOME.
[ sniffing]
PHEW!
SOMETHING SURE STINKS
AROUND HERE.
[ slams window]
[ screaming]
[ splashing]
[ choking]
Ickis, Oblina: IT'S HIS FAULT!
Krumm: IT'S HER FAULT!
OH, VERY WELL.
I'M GIVING YOU ANOTHER ASSIGNMENT.
AND SINCE YOU THREE
ARE UNWILLING TO WORK TOGETHER
SCARE ALONE!
IS THAT CLEAR?
[ bubbling]
Woman: I GUARANTEE YOU WILL FIND OUR LOCKER ROOMS
TO BE THE CLEANEST IN THE CITY.
OR MY NAME'S NOT...
MISTRESS HELGA.
Man: DID THEY FOLLOW YOU, DEAN?
Man 2: NOBODY, JERRY.
WE'RE ALONE.
GOOD. HERE'S THE PLAN...
[ laughing meanly]
IF ANYBODY FINDS OUT WE'RE THROWING THE FIGHT
WE'LL TAKE CARE OF HIM.
GOT IT, BOSS.
OUCH.
WHO WAS THAT?
Dean: A DAME.
GET HER!
[ screams]
AH! OH!
[ sniffing]
PHEW!
[ bubbling]
[ screaming]
[ sniffing]
HMM, I MAY BE ON TO SOMETHING.
[ man grunts]
[ grunts]
OH.
[ grunts]
NO.
OH, A RAT.
DON'T WORRY, I'LL GET HIM.
WAIT A MINUTE.
[ growl]
HEY, YOU TWO!
EAT STENCH!
[ laughing]
[ men screaming]
WHY THANK YOU, KRUMM.
NO PROBLEM.
THIS IS FUN.
Woman: WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?
I'M JUST GOING TO PLAY A LITTLE... SQUASH.
WHERE'S MY RACQUET?
HOW DO YOU DO?
AAH!
[ screaming]
YOU SAVED MY LIFE, OBLINA.
YES, WELL, IT WAS THE LEAST I COULD DO
AFTER KRUMMY SAVED MINE.
WHERE IS KRUMM?
I MUST GET RID OF THAT STENCH!
[ sniffing]
AH-HA!
[ teeth chattering]
[ softly]: HEY, OH, OOH!
[ grunting]
[ growling loudly]
[ roaring]
[ screaming]
[ laughing hysterically]
THANKS, ICKIS.
WE'LL NEVER FORGET THIS DAY.
All: TOGETHER FOREVER!
[ echoing]
[ all crying]
I'M SO VERY SORRY.
I'M SORRY.
I'M REALLY SORRY.
[ all sobbing]
WHERE WOULD WE BE
WITHOUT EACH OTHER?
NOWHERE.
I LOVE YOU GUYS.
[ man whistling]
[ whistling]
[ machine whirring]
OH, NO!
WE'RE BEING COMPACTED.
[ machine whirring faster]
[ growling, barking]
ALL CLEAR, OBLINA!
[ squealing]
I AM STUCK.
NEVER FEAR, OBLINA.
I'M RUNNING OUT OF STRING.
[ growling]
[ squealing]
[ whistling]
[ panting]
[ growling]
[ roaring]
[ screaming]
[ dog growling]
[ growling, screaming]
[ dog growling]
All: TOGETHER FOREVER!
AND WHOSE BIG IDEA WAS IT TO BE OUT SO LATE?
Krumm, Ickis: IT WAS HIS!
Oblina: IT WAS HIS.
IT WAS HERS.
IT'S YOUR FAULT.
