03x01 - Festival of the Festering Moon/Simon's Big Score

[bunniefuu]

[ Clock chiming, thunderclap]

[ Creaking]

[ Owl hooting]

[ Shrieking]

[ Crying]

[ Gasps]

[ Screaming]

Where do you think
you're going?

[ Needle scratching record]

[ Chuckles]

[ Cheering]

[ Laughing]

[ Screaming]

[ Kids laughing]

[ Electricity sputters]

[ Muttering, complaining]

Monsters!

[ Growling]

[ Screaming]

That was great!

I did not think we
would ever get their attention.

Oh, ha, hey,
ooh, gee, ah!

Oblina?

Aah, huh, eee!

What is it?

[ Panting]
I don't know.

I'm sure it's nothing serious.

Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!

At least I hope
it's nothing serious.

[ Grumbling]

[ Laughing]

Pardon my pride, but
this shaking you feel means

You're all going
to be shedding your skin soon.

It marks your
first big step

On the journey
we call "growing up."

In three days
the moon will be full.

We'll gather
above ground

For the ceremony
of the shedding!

The festival of
the festering moon!

[ Cheering]

Krumm:
let's fester!

Krumm, would you
organize our music?

Naturally.

[ Strumming]

Gromble:
urbab, kriggle, snav?

You're in charge of
garbagefor the feast.

Farrig!

Yes?

You're to find
a suitable spot

To build the shrine
to the festering moon!

Right away!

And now, who will have
the honor and the duty

Of performing the centerpiece
of our ceremony?

Who shall dance the dance
of the festering moon?

The most important part of the
festival of the festering moon!

The dance must be performed

With heart, soul and commitment.

[ Mumbling]

You must be agile.

And intelligent.

Oh?

Gromble:
oblina!

The dance is yours.

Good luck.

You'll need it.

Say, hypothetically

A monster isn't pulsing?

What happens to me-- him?

[ Chuckles]
I mean, him.

What happens to him?

Every young monster sheds
his skin, but hear this.

Every monster will shed

But the monster who sheds last
will leave the academy

Never to return.

But between now and then
we've got a shrine to build

A feast to prepare
and lots to learn

So let's go, everyone--
it's festival time!

What do you
think he meant

When he said
"never to return?"

Ooh, I'd be so embarrassed
if I shed last-- ooh.

Boy, something terrible must
happen if they kick you out.

It must be awful!

A nightmare!

Now, we do not know what
the gromble meant, not really.

Yes, we do, shedding last

Is an embarrassing, terrible,
awful nightmare!

There's got to be a way.

[ Playing
medieval madrigal]

All right, again.

From the top.

[ Music begins]

[ Off-key note]

No matter
what I tell them

No matter
what I teach them

No matter
how much we practice

Every time they play,
it comes out...

[ Grunting] pretty.

Ickis:
krumm! Krumm,
look!

I've started pulsing!

[ Giggling]

[ Gagging]

All right,
concentrate.

We've only got
two days to sound bad.

Once more

From the top.

[ All playing in tune]

[ Moaning]

All righty.

[ Screaming]

Why, hello, icky!

How lovely to see you.

I think I've got it figured out.

[ Choking]:
aren't I cute?

[ Squeaking and groaning]

See! I can make it happen.

So, I'm like everybody else.

If I keep it up, I'll shed.

You just watch me.

Ickis, this thingy is not going
to make you shed any sooner.

Then I'm going to be
the last to shed.

And then I'm out
of the academy for good.

Nonsense, you are not the only
monster who is not pulsating.

Oh, yeah?

Well, i... I...
I mean, yes.

Take dizzle,
she has not pulsed once.

[ Laughing]

Really?

[ Screaming]
look at me!

I'm not going
to be last!

I get to stay
in school!

I get to stay in school!

Well, I guess
that's that.

That is
not that.

You are the best monster
in this school

Whether you know it or not.

Wait a minute, I thought
youwere the best student.

No, no, that is...
Is only because I study.

You have
natural ability

That I envy, yes!

And shed or not, no one can
take that away from you, dear.

They can't?

No, ickis, you are destined
for greatness.

I am?

Absolutely.

I swear.

You're right.

No matter what happens,
I'm the best!

Hit me!
[ Howling]

Now wait a minute.

Actually, iam the best.

Yeah.
[ Laughing]

But only because
you work at it so hard.

Me? [ Giggling]
I'm a natural.

[ Snorting]

[ Snoring]

No, no, from the top.

♪ One and, two and
two-two-three and... ♪

[ Screaming]

Oh, who cares if I shed?

Who cares?

Hey, krumm.

Rise and stench!

Krumm?

Oblina?

Krumm:
wait for me, oblina.

Krumm?

Oblina?

Wait for me!

[ Panting]

Krumm, oblina!

[ Crying]

[ Wailing]

Both:
what is it, ickis?

[ Screaming]

[ Muffled scream]

[ Snoring]

[ Screeching]

Come on, bear witness
to my genius.

[ Groaning]

Okay, krumm,
let her rip.

[ Coughing and sputtering]

It's working!

I feel it, I can feel it!

Watch me!

Wow! Here it comes!

[ Howling]

[ Crashing]

Could this be
our little secret?

So, how is
the band, krumm?

Hopeless, and the dance?

Oh, I suppose, my dear krumm,
it shall be fine.

Krumm, looky.

Let the festering begin!

[ Cheering]

Krumm:
let's fester!

Does everybody remember
everything we practiced?

Good, then you
can just forget it.

Let's just have fun, okay?

[ Funky music begins]

It's hideous.

Absolutely hideous.

Gromble:
oblina!

[ Gasping and snarling]

Whoa!

Good-bye,
everybody.

Have fun growing up.

[ Squeaking]

Oh! It's happening.

Oh, it's happening!

Krumm! Oblina!

Hey, hey, look at me!

Whoa!
[ Screaming]

[ Cheering and applause]

Oblina?

[ Gasping]

Aah!

Wait! Wait-wait-wait!
Hold on, hold on! Wait!

It's happening!

I... I... I... I...
I... I did it!

I... I... I...

I was last.

No, you weren't.

Yeah! Yes! Yes! Yes!

♪ I'm a grown up monster

[ Sniffling]

Farrig,
sweetheart, listen.

I'm sure this
is for the best

But I know
how you feel

And I am
sosorry.

Why, master ickis?

Why are you sorry?

Because farrig
doesn't get to grow up

With the rest of us,
poor little guy.

He's not growing up
with the rest of you, ickis.

[ Snarling]

Because he's growing up
all at once.

Let me help you,
ickis.

Poor little guy.

With each festival
of the festering moon

Fortune smiles on one monster.

He who sheds last
is the first to grow up.

And he's the one who
will leave the academy

Never to return.

Yes, congratulations, farrig.

Now go, go along with you
and scare the scares

You were bornto scare!

As for the rest of you

Back to your places!

Krumm...?
Music.

Ickis?

Any chance there's a runner-up?

You know, second place
kind of thing? [ Giggling]

[ Gasps] never mind.

[ Cheering, music playing]

[ Snoring]

Man [ on tape]:
I am brave

And capable!

[ Snoring]

[ Muttering]:
brave and capable.

I will prove
that monsters exist.

Prove monsters 'sist.

All clear!

This place
gives me the creeps.

Of all people, why
do we have to scare

Simon,
the monster hunter?

I mean, it's been done.

The gromble thinks simon
is being too quiet.

He could be
up to something.

Besides,
it's fun-fun.

Krumm:
mmm.

Oh, wow, my favorite.

Look at them run.

They taste
better scared.

Yes, krumm, they look
absolutely scrumptious

But we have a job to do!

All right, sorry.

[ Gulping]

One day I willcatch a monster.

One day catch a monster.

And the monster...

Will bite my head off!

And the monster will bite my...

Headoff!

Hi, there.

[ Snarling]

Aah!

Aah!... Yourself.

I'll get you, you...

[ Grunts]

[ Splashing]

You little...

Oh.

One day...

One day...

Yes!

They took the bait!

I have you now, monsters!

You're mine!

[ Cows mooing]

[ Mush mouthed]:
may I take your order?

You can never understand
these people.

What did you say?

Speak clearly!

I said...

May I take your order?

[ Stammering incoherently]

What do yousay?

Youspeak clearly!

[ Screaming]

That was beautiful.

Another oblina classic.

Mm-hmm, it was
almost too easy.

We could find something
more challenging.

Here comes
another car.

I said almost too easy
one more time.

All right, we're in.

Battle stations, everyone.

[ Squeaking]

[ Snarling]

[ Shrieking]

♪ Smile pretty, monster!

[ Simon cackling]

Simon!

He's taking pictures--
we've got to stop him.

Ow! What the...

What the-- get me--

Oblina, are you okay?

Big... Purpley spots.

Let's get out of here.

[ Moaning]

Come back here!

[ Straining]:
let me out of here!

Now, let's get
a mold of your teeth.

This won't hurt a bit.

[ Gagging]

So how's the family?

[ Choking]

Glad to hear it.

Now this will take
just a few minutes.

So I'll be right back.

Say, "ah."

[ Gagging]:
aah!

Hello.

Drop something?

[ Screaming]

[ Laughing]

Mmm.

This is really tasty.

I wonder if there's any more?

Okay, one little snack

And then we should
get back to the dump.

Yes, our work is through here.

Man:
but mineis just...

Beginning.

All:
simon!

There's no escape,
monsters!

[ Groaning]

Hey, now, there's nothing
in there for you.

You, let go of me.

You... Let... Go...
What are you--

Oh, don't get shy on me now.

You'll thank me
when you see

Your beautiful new smile.

Stop! Let go of me!

[ Garbled yelling]

[ Gasping]

This is getting redundant.

Another scare in which

That meddlesome monster hunter

Makes a cameo appearance.

He's been in every
scare this week.

It is really
rather annoying.

It's as if he knows
where we're going to be.

Oh, ickis!

You never fail to surprise me

With your incredible grasp

Of the obvious!

Of course he knows

Because someone is telling him!

The question is, who?

Which one of you is it?

[ Muttering and mumbling]

Ahem.

Your grombleness,
I have a plan.

Snorch and myself
are quite adroit

At coaxing confessions

Out of the most
reluctant conspirators.

We propose to lacerate

To pierce, wring out

And chafe
every monster in this class

Until someone fesses up.

Ooh, and what will you do
with the culprit?

Oh, something ten times worse.

Uh-huh, but knowing that

Why would anyone confess?

I did not say the plan

Was completely
without the bugaboos.

[ Sighing]

Well, I'll take it
under consideration.

Until then, I suggest
you all watch your backs.

There is a traitor among you.

[ Radio static]

[ Beeping]

[ Shrieking whine]

Oblina:
to think that one of our own
betrayed us.

Krumm:
who is it?

Ha! You betrayed yourself,
you little bug-eaters!

Everyone knew we were going
to the tooth doctor.

It could be anyone.

All right, we won't tell anyone
where we are going.

Krumm:
good idea.

[ Scoffing]:
yeah.

Oh, yeah, that'll work.

[ Laughing]

♪ I got you, I got you!

[ Knocking at door]

Can I have
an ice cream sandwich?

Sorry, kid, we're all out.

I'll take a doodle-pop instead.

b*at it, shrimp.

Look, kid...

[ Kid laughing]

...and couple skate.

Here's the plan.

Ickis, you dash across the floor

Spinning your head.

...and change direction.

All right, little miss bossy.

But are you sure about this?

They're going pretty fast.

They are all wearing

Little movers on their feet.

Krumm:
it doesn't look so bad... Uh-oh.

What? What?

...and backward skate.

Take a look.

[ Grunting]

Hey, buzz off, weirdo.

...and change direction.

Change direction.

Change direction!
[ Blithering]

[ Crashing, glass breaking]

I told you two
not to tell anyone.

I didn't tell anyone.

It was you, ickis.

You can't keep a secret.

I didn't tell anyone.

I didn't even know
where we were going

Until just before we left.

Wait-- it was youridea
to come here.

So?

[ Gasping]:
you think I told simon.

Yes, yes, I am--

I am just saying

It's suspicious.

How dare you.

Hey, come on, now,
we're friends.

Friends don't fight.

Come to think of it, krumm

You were anxious
to come here tonight.

Put them up!

Come on, come on, come on.

Cut it out, krummy.

Uh-oh.

Oh, not again.

Hey, I was wrong, I do
have room for dessert.

What's that?

What's what?

Shh! Shh.

[ Gasping]

[ Beeping]

Oblina:
all right then, it is decided.

Tomorrow night we scare
the guard humans

At the civic auditorium.

[ Giggling gleefully]

Ickis:
and this time,
we have got to be careful.

Krumm [ woodenly]:
yeah, that simon
is a pretty smart human.

[ Sighing]

At last.

They're starting to respect me.

Me! And soon...

The worldwill respect me.

Me-he-he!

Simon!

The greatest monster hunter

To ever walk the earth.

[ Grunting]

What's going on?

[ Loudly]:
well, we're here.

The civic auditorium.

Let's find an entrance,
shall we?

This looks good.

Tunnel .

Which tunnel is this?

Oblina:
, ! How many times
must I tell you?

Tunnel .

Right behind you, monsters.

I'm so close.

Ickis:
look, this ladder leads

To a trap door.

Krumm:
let's see where it goes.

Oh, pooey.
This is just a room

With no windows or doors.

Krumm:
and no plumbing.

Perfect!

They're trapped.

Tonight, we are offering $

To anyone who spends
five minutes in the ring

With mad dog!

[ Growling]

Come on, please.

Aw, jeez, oh...

We'll make it $ ,

For two minutes in the ring
with mad dog!

[ Snarling]

Um, anyone?

Ah-ha! I've got you!

We have a challenger!

[ Roaring]

Sir, excuse me,
what's going on here?

I'm going to make you
hurt all over.

[ Giggling]

[ Snickering]

W-w-w-wait, you mis...

[ Thump]

My name is simon--

I guess we don't have to worry

About simon for a while.

Bliny, I'm sorry
for suspecting you.

Oh, icky, this brought out
the worst in all of us.

Let's put it behind us,
shall we?

Simon:
wow-wow-wow-ee!

We should start heading back.

No! I want to hear
more of the fight.

No problem.

Simon:
you don't understand!

I'll get you, you mon--
[ groaning]

--Sters!

[ Thumping and grunting]

[ Radio static whining]

[ Mad dog growling]

Simon: w-w-w-wait, you mis--

M-m-my name is, uh, simon...


Monsters are...

You don't understand!

I'll get you, you monsters!

Man: yes, that's my cat.

Krumm:
that's it, put them up,
come on, come on!
