02x09 - Rosh O' Monster/The Tree of Ickis

[bunniefuu]

( Clock chiming, thunderclap )

( Creaking )

( Owl hooting )

( Shrieking )

( Crying )

( Gasps )

( Screaming )

Wipe that smile off your face!

( Needle scratching record )

( Chuckles )

( Orchestra tuning up )

( Music from wagner's
"the nibelung's ring" playing )

( All screaming )

Well, that
turned out okay.

( Both panting )

A rather good scare...
Actually.

Good?! It was great.

( Monsters talking )

( Belching )

( All grunting )

Gromble:
can I assume someone
has something

They would like to share?

( Machine rumbling )

Yes, I do.

And if you would tell
ickis and krumm

To return to their seats,
I would be happy to show it.

Why you?

Because!

( Machine rumbling )

( Fizzing )

Your viewfinder's
broken.

Your grombleness, since
we've got such a great scare

And seeing as the viewfinder
isn't itself lately...

Spit it out, ickis!

Well... I thought maybe

We could just explain the scare.

What?

Yes, yes, we could

Tell you
what happened.

How we entered
the objective

Stalked our prey,
and struck.

Hmm.

For once it might
actually be illuminating

To listen to you talk.

Please tell us
all about your scare.

If you insist.

( Clearing throat
exaggeratedly )

Well, first of all

I guess I should say
I'm no hero.

See, there are
a million monsters

And everyone of them
has a story and... You see

Somehow they always end up
at my door.

( Knocking at door )

Krumm:
hey, boss,
you got company.

( Oblina gasps )

Why, um... Hello, ickis.

Still drinking too
much sour milk, I see.

Everybody's got
some kind of problem, kid

What's yours?

Me?

Well... I...
I don't have a problem.

I'm just on my way to a scare.

Thought you might want
to come along.

Just like that, she was gone.

There was something mysterious
about that dame.

And if there's one thing this
monster liked... ( Giggling )

It was mystery.

The building was old
and you could tell by the smell

It was crawling with humans.
( Laughing )

Ah, oblina was classy.

She had class
like krumm had stench.

From the top of her head
to the tip of her tail.

But you could tell
one other thing:

Trouble followed her like flies.

( Buzzing )

I like that.

Flies, I mean.

Trouble, I didn't like--
trouble, I hate.

I had to ask.

What's the trouble?

Oh, there is no trouble,
darling.

I require a little
elementary assistance.

( Music playing )

( Singing in german )

( Both screeching )

( Groaning )
( laughing )

Oh, fine, now
it all makes sense.

This whole nutty business
is a setup.

You are in over
your head, sister

And you want me to pull
you out of it?

Come on, say it, baby, say it.

You want me to do
your scare for you.

There is singing!

I cannot do it
without you.

Please, please.

Pretty please?

( Music playing )

( Singing in german )

( Singing in german )

After I drop you on stage

Just keep that pretty head down
and those baby blacks wide open.

( Laughing )
I'll do the scaring, sister.

You just take it all in

So you can play it
on the viewfinder.

How can I ever repay you?

You can't, sister. Don't try.

( Ickis whooping )

( Singing )

( Laughing )

( Roaring )

( All gasping )

( Giggles )

( Singing )

( Roaring )

( All screaming )

Sometimes it's so easy
I wonder if it's worth it.

Oh...

You are amazing, ickis.

An amazing liar!

Oblina?

What?!

Oh, uh... Yes,
your grombleness?

Is there something
you want to say?

( Coughs )
first, you all know ickis.

And while he is
a wonderful little monster

He can be rather
careless, mm-hmm.

I had not planned on scaring

Everyone in the building.

I had planned something
safe and reasonable.

But, as usual, ickis
had not listened to me.

Ickis, this is not
a puddle full of sludge

It is a building
full of humans.

You must approach it
with a plan.

Those are the rules.

Rules are for
monsters like you

Who go do their homework
and listen in class.

Me, I'm bigger than the rules.

Come on, krumm.

There was no question

Ickis was going to get himself
into trouble.

But would I be able
to get him out of it?

( Grunts )

( Singing in german )

What now?

Why are you
asking me?

Oh, no, I have done
something thoughtless

That is going to get us
into trouble yet again.

Now only oblina can save us.

( Singing in german )

Both:
oh-blee-naah!

This is going to take more
than the ordinary scaring powers

Of an ordinary monster.

This looks like a job for...

Supermonster.

( All gasping )

( Roaring )

Boo!

( All screaming )

There now, that
is what happened.

Hmm.

Krumm.

Yes.

Could you tell us

What really happened
on your scare?

Sure, it went fine.

Krumm, be a dear, sweet,
reasonable monster

And tell us something
we can believe!

Um, let me see.

I'm a little sketchy
on the details.

We popped up in a big tile room.

Bla, bla, bla...
Bla, bla, bla...

Oblina and ickis were
arguing about something.

One of them bumped into
a trash can and knocked it over.

And the trash can was filled
with all sorts of stuff.

Some of it looked pretty tasty.

There was this big pile of...

The gromble:
mr. Krumm!

Sorry.

The gromble:
what happened?

Krumm:
let me see.

We left the tile room

And went up a long pipe

And came out way above
all the humans.

We decided to go down to where
all the humans were...

And then we scared everybody.

And then we came back here.

And that's it.

Does that help any?

Your viewfinder's
fixed.

Thank you.

I already told you
what happened.

Oblina:
no, I did.

( Grunts )

Where are we?

It does not matter.

Let us just scare someone
and get back to the dump!

But I don't see anyone.

I do.

Wow, we're really high up.

And there are lots
of humans down there.

Let's try somewhere else.

Yeah, somewhere lower.

And less crowded.

No, I refuse to give up
so easily.

( Wailing ):
oh, dear!

Let's give up.

Now, ickis, it is
just human music.

I know it hurts your ears

But that is no reason
to let it upset you.

( Music playing )

( Singing in german )

( Screeches )

Oblina, help!

Ickis!

( All screaming )

( Sings )

( Screams )

( Screaming )

( Ickis screaming )

Well, that
turned out okay.

( Both panting )

A rather good scare...
Actually.

Good?! It was great.

Ickis:
I thought I had told
a good story

But the gromble didn't buy it,
and he made the rules.

As for the dame,
she was no better off.

Shoes in that room

And every one of them
needed polishing.

Honey...

There's something
I've wanted to ask you

For a long time.

Yes?

Will you marry me?

( Screaming )

Okay, I see you need
some time to think it over.

( Growling )

( Screaming )

I thought they'd never leave.

Let's eat!

( Rattling )

( Munching )

I just like to nibble.

Ow!

Ah, dessert!

Ickis!

No! That came from the tree.

You know what
the gromble says

About monsters
eating things from trees.

Don't worry, oblina.

What could happen?

( Gulping )

( Clock ticking )

( All snoring )

( Snoring, ticking continues )

( Cuckoo clock sounds once )

( Snoring )

( Muffled ):
what is going on here?

Oblina? Krumm?

Ickis, my goodness!

Krumm, wake up.

( Snoring )

Krumm.

Krumm!

What?

Ooh.

Um, um...

If it's not too much trouble

Um, would someone please...

Get me out of here!

( Both grunting and groaning )

I'm certainly not one to say
"I told you so," ickis

But i...

Oblina...

Put a sock in it!

You do look kind of festive.

( Ripping )

Ooh!

Well, don't just stand there...
Weed me!

I know exactly
what you want.

( Gasping )

( Screaming )

I cannot go out

Looking like this!

Everybody will

Laugh at me.

( Both laugh )

Barber:
oh, don't be so bourgeois.

How about that,
mister monster?

It's so... You!

No, no, no, no, no!

Just cut it all off!

Boring!

But if you insist.

( Clipping )

Oh, ah...
Now, that's more like it.

Ah!

( Grunting )

( Shouting )

Ouch!

Easy, you guys.

Sorry, ickis.

Yes.

I am so sorry, ickis.

( Both groaning )

Frightfully sorry.

Morbidly sorry.

How could I have done this to...

How could I have forced you
to eat that seed?

And what was I thinking?

All right, all right.

Don't rub it in.

All right, this is fine.

Plant him here.

You should be more
comfortable here.

Hey, wait!
What are you guys doing?

You can't leave me here alone!

We have to, ickis.

It's the safest place
for you.

We will be back.

As soon as
we figure out

How to get rid
of that tree.

Well, I guess it is
rather peaceful out here.

( Whimpering )

( Crying )

Uh-oh.

( Sputtering ):
hey! Hey! Hey!

Hey! Hey!

( Whimpering )

( Woman giggling )

Should i, like,
do the heart first

Or our initials?

Hmm, cut the heart
out first.

( Gasping )

What was that?

Just the wind.

I think.

Ugh, this place
is giving me the creeps.

Let's get out of here!

( Both screaming )

( Laughing )

( Laughing )

Oh, oh, oh, oh...

Oh, that was a good one.

You don't get a chance
to use that one much anymore.

The old whistling
wind scare.

Nothing like
the old stand-bys.

( Laughing )

( Coughing )

You're a monster, too?

Well, of course I'm a monster.

You think something this ugly
just happens in nature?

Um, well,
how did you get here?

How did I get here?

I was framed!

( Laughing )

( Coughing )

Oh...

Doggone squirrels.

Look, kid...

How does anyone get here?

Same way you got here.

I put something in my mouth
that didn't belong.

Years later,
and I'm still here.

Um, my name is...

Nope, nope, no names, kid.

You got the mark
across your trunk.

You won't be around long...
Don't want to get attached.

Um, what happens
when you... Get the mark?

( Chain saw revving )

It's not good, kid.

( Whimpering )

( Screaming )

Mmm.

I'll say one thing
about the woods:

Plenty of great bugs.

Mmm...

Oh, krumm, can you
stop thinking about food

For one minute

And think about our friend
who happens to be...

Krummy, you are a genius.

I am?

Termites.

( Screaming )

( Grunting )

( Groaning )

( Crying )

It's no use, kid!

Your feet are planted
too firmly in the ground.

Oh!

Krumm:
gotcha!

Excellent hand-eye
coordination, krumm.

( Chain saw revving )

( Screaming )

Hmm.

After years

You'd think
I'd have seen everything.

( Panting )

Oh.

He escaped!

Wherever
could he have gone?

Old tree:
he's on the tree mover!

Both:
thank you.

Both:
oh!

( Panting )

( Whining and groaning )

Get off of me, you big log!

Oh, ickie!

We're coming,
ickis!

Oh! Oblina, krumm!

( Panting )

Ooh, oh,
eeh, ooh--

Save me!

Oblina:
oh...

( Groaning )

Which one's ickis?

I'm... Down...

Here!

Are you
all right, ickie?

Um, I've been better.

Worry not, ickis.

We shall have you
out of here

In two shakes
of a stick!

( Truck honking )

Whoa!

Krumm?

Krumm, what are you
doing down there?

( Groaning )

Hand me that jar.

Um, oblina?

Honestly, krumm, this is no time
to be frolicking.

Oblina!

What?

Oh...

Duck.

Hello! Remember me?!

What is going on up there?!

Sit tight, ickis.

We shall be right there.

Finally.

( Groaning )

I really don't need this now.

( Yelling )

( Screaming )

( Panting )

Ickis? Ickis!

Ickis, where are you?

Where, oh, where?

Get me out of here!

Whoa!

( Screaming )

( Laughing )

( Laughing hysterically )

Oblina:
oh, ickie!

Thank goodness
you are you again.

Not that you wouldn't have made
a fine or-ton-ville slug-ger.

Help me catch the bugs.

Come now, ickis.

We can eat when we get home.

These bugs aren't for you.

I appreciate it, kid.

But freedom's
too much responsibility.

I got everything I need here.

Plenty of bird droppings

( Coughing )

I get my three scares a year.

( Coughing )

Country life's not so bad.

I like everything about it.

( Coughing )

Except...
For those doggone...

Squirrels!

( Laughing )

( Laughing )

( Laughing )

Oh...

( Crunching, whirring,
dog yipping )

( Monsters babbling )
