Dialogue
Ms. Flint: 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? Waternoose: [first words; enters] It could let in a child! Ms. Flint: Oh, Mr. Waternoose. 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 mak

Mike: I'm tellin' you, big daddy, you're gonna be seein' this face on TV a lot more often. Sulley: Yeah, like on "Monstropolis' Most Wanted"? Mike: [sarcastically] Ha, ha, ha. You've been jealous of my good looks since the fourth grade, pal.
Dialogue
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.
Dialogue
Sulley: Happy birthday. Celia: Thanks. So, uh... are we going anywhere special tonight? Mike: I just got us into a little place called, um... Harryhausen's. Celia: <big>Harryhausen's?! But it's impossible to get a reservation there.</big> Mike: [walking to the Scare Floor with Sulley] Not for Googly Bear. I will see you at quittin' time, and not a minute later. Celia: Okay, sweetheart. Mike: Think romantical thoughts. [singing] You and me, me and you, both of us together!
Dialogue
Waternoose: [while getting himself some coffee] Oh... what a day. Sulley: We're just going through a rough time, sir. Everyone knows you're going to get us through it. Waternoose: 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. Waternoose: Well... Say, I could use your help with something. Sulley: Anything, sir. Waternoose: You see, we've hired some new scare recruits, and frankly, they're... they're, um... uh... Sulley: [confused] Inexperienced? Waternoose: Oh, they stink! Sulley: Uh-huh. Waternoose: 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] Waternoose: [startled; drops his coffee] Oh, oh, yes. Now, that's my boy.
Dialogue
Mike: You know, there's more life than scaring. Whew. Hey, can I borrow your odorant? Sulley: Yeah, I got, uh, "smelly garbage" or "old dumpster". Mike: You got, uh, "low tide"? Sulley: No. Mike: How about "wet dog"? Sulley: Yep. Stink it up.
Dialogue
Mike: [to Sulley] Y'know, sometimes I feel so romantic, I think I should just marry myself! Sulley: Give me a break, Mike... Mike: What a night of romance I've got ahead of me! Tonight is about me and Celia! [imitates a ship’s horn] The loveboat is about to set sail! I'm tellin’ ya, pal, I see her face, and it makes my heart go-- [finds himself face-to-face with Roz] YIKES!!! Roz: [sternly] Hello, Wazowski. Fun-filled evening planned for tonight? Mike: Well, as a matter of fact-- Roz: And I'm sure you filed your paperwork correctly...for once! [silence; Mike is brandishing a nervous smile] Your stunned silence is very reassuring. [leaves] Mike: Oh no, my scare reports! I left them on my desk! If I'm not at the restaurant in five minutes, they're gonna give our table away. What am I gonna tell--?! [Celia comes up to Mike] Schmoopsie-Pooh. Celia: Hey Googly-Bear, wanna get going? Mike: Do I ever? It's just that... Uh... Celia: What? Mike: There's a small-- Celia: I don't understand. Sull
Dialogue
Celia: Oh, Michael, I've had a lot of birthdays - well, not a lot of birthdays, but this is the best birthday ever. What are you looking at? Mike: I was just thinking about the first time I laid eye on you, how pretty you looked. Celia: [slightly embarrassed] Stop it. Mike: Your hair was shorter then. Celia: Mm-hmm. I'm thinking about getting it cut. [the snakes in her hair look worried] Mike: No-no, I like it this length. [the snakes sigh in relief] I like everything about you. Just the other day someone asked me who I thought the most beautiful monster was in all of Monstropolis. You know what I said? Celia: What did you say? Mike: I said-- [sees Sulley trying to get his attention] Sulley? Celia: Sulley?!
Dialogue
Randall: Wazowski! Where's the kid, you little one-eyed cretin?! Mike: [Strapped down into the Scream Extractor] 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 gonna help you cheat your way to the top! Randall: [chuckles nastily] 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 thinkin’ I should just get outta here. Randall: I am about to revolutionize the scaring industry, and when I do, even the great James P. Sullivan will be working for me.
Dialogue
Sulley: [is fighting the invisible Randall when he is hit with a snowball] 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. Mike: Hey, look at that, it's Randall. It's... Oh. Waternoose: [to Randall] <big>Get up, there can’t be any witnesses!</big> Randall: [through gritted teeth] <big>There won’t be!</big>
Dialogue
Waternoose: This has gone far enough, James. Sulley: She's home now! Just leave her alone! Waternoose: I can't do that. She's seen too much. You both have. Sulley: It doesn't have to be this way! Waternoose: I have no choice! Times have changed. Scaring isn't enough anymore! Sulley: But kidnapping children?! Waternoose: I'll kidnap 1,000 children before I let this company die! And I'll silence anyone who gets in my way! [knocks Sulley aside] Sulley: No! Voice: Simulation terminated. Simulation terminated. Waternoose: [confused] Huh? But... What? Mike: Well, I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I spotted several big mistakes. You know what? Let's watch my favorite part again, shall we? [replays the tape of Waternoose over and over] Waternoose: [on tape, repeating] I'll kidnap 1,000 children before I let this company die! I'll kidnap 1,000 children before I let this company die! I'll kidnap 1,000 children before I let this company die! CDA Agent: I'll get him. [they start arresti
Dialogue
CDA Agent: [taps on the door] Take him away. Smitty: I bet we get the rest of the day off. Needleman: 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...
