[bunniefuu]

( Clock chiming, thunderclap )

( Creaking )

( Owl hooting )

( Shrieking )

( Crying )

( Gasps )

( Screaming )

Wipe that smile off your face!

( Needle scratching record )

( Chuckles )

( Cat yowls )

( Shrieking )

Ooh! Uh... Oblina.

( Chuckles )

Finished?

You're always
the last to leave.

A human works
from sun to sun

But a monster's work
is never done.

I suppose.

But I never see you
out having fun

With the other girls.

What?

Are you having
a good time?

Oh, well, uh, uh...

Of course I am.

( Laughter )

( Music playing )

( Laughing )

( Music stops )

Hello, I was
just passing by

And I heard the music.

Mind if I come in?

Uh... Sure.

If you think
you're haboppley enough.

Uh, habopple-what?

You know.

Haboppley, schmenky

Woggley...

Uh... Cool!

Oh, oh, yes,
indeedy.

I am just as
happadoodly

As the next monster.

It's haboppley.

( Sizzling )

Oh, dear!

You know, harriet

I don't mean to be
a wet blanket

But eating in your room,
dear, is against the rules.

If the gromble finds out,
you'll be in trouble.

Hey, lighten up,
oblina.

This party isn't
about rules.

It's about being cool.

You are just
too totally n.f.

N.f.?

No fun.

Well! I suppose

I might seem a tad
straitlaced to you

But trust me, inside,
inside I'm absolutely...

Duh-hap-a-doodly-do.

Uh, hippa-deadly.

Hepa-de-foodle-foo!

Sorry, oblina.

Hep-cock-a-doodle-do.

Doodly-foo-woo.

You just ain't
got the woggle.

This party's not for you.

Heboopoly? Oh, I got it!

Heboopoly!

( Laughter, music playing )

Oh...

( Shrieking angrily )

( Grunting )

Ickis? Krumm?

I must ask you a very,
very serious question.

Am i...
Schmenky?

Schmenky?

You know,
schmenky, shemple.

Do I have the woggle?

( Squeaking nervously )

We like you, oblina.

Is that what you mean?

Yes, yes, but am I cool?

Cool? You woke us up
to ask us that?

Well, ocka
and the girls said

I was a proper
little monster

Obsessed
with the rules.

That sounds about right.

So, I am not cool?

Well, no. But who cares?

I do!

You think
I am not cool

The girls think
I am not cool.

But I will show you.

I shall show all of you.

Just you wait and see.

Let's see...

"Catastrophic, catatonic

"Clamato, claustrophobic...

Cool!"

Cool!

Cool.

Ha!

Nothing will stop me now.

( Belching )

Huh?

( Gasping )

( Squeaking )

Oblina, so glad
you could make it.

Yeah, well...

I flipped a coin and I lost.

( Gasping )

( Growling )

What happened?

You're so...

Schmenky!

All:
uh-huh.

Well, you know what they say:

You either got the woggle

Or you don't.

Right, ocka?

Come on, girls, are you with me?

Let's go chow some grubbage.

Yeah!

Wow, she's the gritchiest.

If she's not careful,
she'll be the snorchiest.

There's no place to sit.

( Gasping )

You can't sit there.

That's gromble's chair.

( Gasping sarcastically )

Why, is it against the rules?

Students, your attention please.

The weather above ground

Has taken a turn for the worse.

I will still allow you
to do your scares.

However, before I send you out

Let's make sure we all know
the signal to return home

In case of a weather emergency.

A bat will drop from the air
above your head.

( Screeching )

When you see the bat,
come home immediately.

Do not walk,
do not stroll, do not amble.

You'll see the bat

You'll stop whatever scare
you're doing and run home.

Blah, blah, blah

Yadda, yadda, yadda.

Why? 'Cause you say so?

No, because it's the rule

And the rule
exists for a reason.

Yeah, to be broken, daddy-o.

Oh, I can't bear to watch.

Dear, sweet oblina.

So you've decided
to be the rebel now.

( Giggling )

Very daring.

You're the rebel.

Well, I am the teacher,
so I kick you out of my chair

Make you
follow the rules

And send you
to be snorched.

Now get going!

( Yawning dramatically )

Um, maybe we should
do this later.

Like tomorrow
when the weather isn't so bad?

Oblina:
what's the matter?

You all a bunch of
scaredy humans, huh?

Oblina! Shouldn't you
be getting snorched?

Oh, yeah, sure, like I'm
going to go to the snorch

Just 'cause
the gromble womble said so.

But you...
But nothing.

I'm not worried.

I don't give two spits

About the gromble
and his rules, see?

So there!

Let's go a-scaring.

I think she's flipped.

Mm-hmm-hmm.

Tv announcer:
a tornado warning
is now in effect

For the entire tri-county area.

Schools and businesses
have been closed

And all children
should remain indoors. I...

( Snarling )

( Screaming )

( Laughing )

Whoa!

Woggley!

( Whistling )

( Chirping and squeaking )

( Gasping )

A bat!

We better
get back to the dump.

Fine! Hmph.

This just proves
that I am more schmenky

Than all of you put together.

Me. Oblina.

I am the schmenkiest.

I shall show you all!

Ickis:
hey, where's oblina?

You didn't leave her
behind, did you?

That monster is out of control.

She's on her own.

Hurry, students, hurry.

We can't leave her
alone out there.

Oh, can't we?

No. No, we can't.

Gromble:
well?

Oh!

( Sputtering )

( People screaming )

( Sizzling )

( Snarling )

( Screaming )

( Laughing heartily )

Yes!

I am the best!

( Shrieking )

I am saved!

No!

Icky, krummy!

Don't worry, oblina,
we've got you.

Yeah, but who's got us?

We are going to die!

( Screaming )

( Grunts )

Oh, dear.

Icky, oh, krummy, I'm so sorry.

I, I could have
gotten us all k*lled.

I was so stupid.

I shall never
be cool again.

Never, never, never, never.

Stop it!

Cool is not the problem, oblina.

Rules are not the problem.

You're the problem.

Me?

Yes, you.

You got to be more...

You just, well,
you should try to...

You're too...
It's like, well...

What ickis is trying to say is

You need to be yourself.

Just relax.

Be cool.

( Sniffling )

But I thought I was cool.

You were cool

But you weren't
cool about it.

Oh.

( Yawning )

( Gasping )

Oh, my goodness.

You're not done, are you?

No, no, but there
will be plenty of time

To finish studying tomorrow.

All work and no play, you know.

Good girl.

Toodle-oo.

( Laughter )

( Music playing )

( Laughing )

Hello, let the
hap-a-doodle begin.

That's habopple.

Oh...

( Laughing heartily )

Who cares?

Let's party!

( Cheering )

Yeah,
party, party!

( Laughter, music playing )

Oblina:
skanky!

( Class talking )

( Belching )

( Clears throat )

Good morning, class.

As you know,
today is the last day

To complete this year's
multi-scare mid-term

And look at you.

You must be working very hard.

Are any of you
having any trouble

Completing the assignment?

Are you?

I did everything I could

And I still got
eight scares left.

Oh, I can't get nine scares
by the end of the day.

There's no way.

I've only got six.

But I'm so tired

I can barely
keep my eyes up.

You guys think
you've got it bad.

I've still got
to do scares.

( Gasping )

That's not possible!

The mid-term was
scares in two weeks.

Wait, didn't you say
scares each week?

No, I didn't.

How many have you
completed, ickis?

.

( Class gasps )

( Laughing wildly )

I only need...

( Gasping )

One more scare
by this afternoon?

( Gasps )

( Grumbles and snorts )

So, tell me

Miss perfect monster

Are you one scare away

From finishing your mid-term?

No, I have five
more scares to go.

Five more?

Oh, you'll be busy today.

Me, I've just
got to knock off

One more scare.

Wow.

Put a skench in it, ickis.

Aren't we touchy

Miss four scares behind me.

Just because you only have
one scare left

Is no reason to t*rture
the rest of us.

I think
it's a good reason.

( Giggling )

( Growls )

Good-bye, ickis.

I must perform
my few remaining scares.

Few?

Gee, I only have one.

( Laughing )

Ah!

There she is, scare number .

( Giggling )

Wow, mmm, tasty.

Oh, creamy, smooth.

Just brimming
with smoggy goodness.

( Bell rings )

Mmm....

This isn't going to
hurt my car, is it?

I've never been
to a place like this.

There's a surprise.

( Flies buzzing )

Yep, I'm getting
married today.

Congratulations.
( Buzzing )

She's a lucky woman.

Yep, nothing too good
for my little bride.

What do you say

We give it
that triple wax?

Tr-triple wax?

W-w-w-wait.

Well, back to work.

( Yowls )

Ooh!

( Groaning )

Ooh!

( Yelping )

Triple wax?

We hardly ever,
nobody...

Uh, uh, it's been years.

Look, a fellow
don't wash his car

Or get married

But two or three times.

Triple wax-- got it?

Sparky!

Get ready for a triple wax!

I'm sorry to interrupt.

Krumm! Oblina!

Don't go, don't go, I need you!

Oh, you are my very,
very best friends.

You got to help me!

( Yells )

( Yells )

( Whining )

Help you?

My goodness, ickis

This morning you didn't seem
to need any help.

Well, I've been triple waxed.

That's no reason to t*rture me.

Yes, well, I think it is.

After your behavior
this morning

I'm enjoying myself immensely.

But this isn't my fault.

What happened?

( Crying )

It is my fault.

Please, oblina.

I didn't mean
those things I said.

I was joking, I was confused.

I was...

...gloating.

I'm so sorry, really.

Please help me, I'm begging you.

Please.

( Squeaking )

Ickis:
oh, she's perfect.

Scare number , here I come--
let's do it!

Ready, aim.

Remember, not too fa...

( Screaming )

( Shrieking... )

( Birds warbling )

This time you will not get away.

( Laughing nervously )

Remember now

A gentle push
this time.

( Blithering )

( Squeaking )

( Crying )

It's over.

There's no hope.

It's not that bad.

Yes, it is!

I'm a slippery monster

In a sticky world.

There's just no place for me.

Hmm... Maybe there is.

( Ice-skates swishing )

( Gasps )

If you'll excuse me,

I've got some scaring to do.

( Screaming )

( Roaring )

( Screaming )

( Crashing )

Pardon me.

( Screaming )

( Snarls )

( Screams )

What do think?

Neat trick, huh?

That was awesome.

( Class talking )

Gromble:
oh, dear, no ickis.

I guess he was too busy
failing his mid-term

To come to class.

Hallelujah!

Oh, my, aren't we dramatic?

Lovely performance, ickis

But I'd really
rather see your scare.

I'll show you more than that.

See... I have discovered
the future of scaring.

One word, gromby, just one word.

Wax.

( Gasping )

( Squeaking )

But enough talk.

Watch and learn.

( Man screams )

( Class oohs )

( Screaming )

( All oohing )

( Woman screaming )

( Screaming )

( Class oohs )

( Screaming )

( Cheering, applause... )

( Gasping )

I don't believe it.

That was magnificent.

Thank you, thank you.

That last move, ickis...

The triple sort of
back-thing spin-jump?

Could we see it again?

Here, now?

That old thing?

Tell you what

I'll go you one better.

Be here this time tomorrow

And I will show you

A dozen new moves

And a dozen more scares.

( Ickis laughs )

Well, I'd love to stay
and chat

But I must go
embrace my destiny.

I'll remember you well

My poor, normal friends.

( Shrieking )

( Class laughing )

What happened?

It seems you've lost your wax.

Well, I guess this sort of...

You know, I didn't...

I think I'll just
take my seat now.

You don't have time.

What do you mean?

You've got to embrace

Your destiny, remember?

Scares by this time tomorrow.

But i... They... Oh...

Have a pleasant day, ickis.

( Crying )

I hate my life.

Oblina:
I am just as, uh, happadoodly
as the next monster.
