[ bicycle bell jingles ]

Hold on tight, Roy.
I'm gonna give you a big push.

- OK.
- [ grunting ]

Whee!

Uh, let me
try that again.

[ grunting ]

Yippee!

[ sighs ]

This is hard work.

Come on. Let's switch.

Now I'll give you a push.

[ giggles ] Whoa!

I don't know what
you're talking about, Esme.

This is easy.

- Roy... [ gasps ]
- [ music playing ]

[ monster-case playing music ]

We've got a monster to watch.

Ooh. Today we're
watching Tilly...

and Snuggs...

and Simon!

[ gasps ]
And we're meeting them

at the Monsterdale
Science Museum.

[ monster-case whirring ]

- [ honking ]
- [ both giggle ]

- Let's go!
- All right!

[ both giggling ]

- [ giggles ]
- Yoo-hoozie-swoozle!

Over here, monster-sitters.

[ gasps ] There they are!

Hi, guys.

- Tilly: Esme and Roy! Whoo-hoo!
- Simon: Hi, Esme. Hi, Roy.

[ Snuggs sighs affectionately ]

Monster fact number 76:
Snuggs really likes to hug.

- Uh-huh.
- [ giggles ]

Don't you just love monsters?

Now, you all have a fantabulous
time at the science museum.

I'm off to my...
"swoozle-cise" class.

Gotta keep these arms in shape.

[ laughs ] Ta-ta!

- Esme: Bye.
- Roy: See you later.

- Snuggs and Tilly: Bye-bye.
- Simon: Bye, Grammy.

OK, guys.

Who wants
to check out the museum?

- I do!
- Tilly do! Tilly do!

[ Simon and Tilly cheering ]

Come on!

Um, Snuggs?

It's time
to go inside now.

Oh, right.

Let's go!

[ all exclaim in excitement ]

Roy:
This is amazing!

Simon:
Whoa! This place is awesome!

So where should we go first?

Tilly want to see dinosaurs!

Ooh! I wanna see the fishies!

I'd like to see
the magnets, please.

Great. We have plenty
of time to see everything.

Just remember,
we've all gotta stay--

- [ monsters giggling ]
- Snuggs: Fishy!

- Tilly: Dinosaur!
- Snuggs: Magnet!

...together?

Esme and Roy:
Quick! Get 'em!

Whoa.

[ puckering lips
and blowing a kiss ]

[ giggles and sighs ]

[ chuckles ]
You're coming with me, buddy.

Roy!

Cool!

OK, Simon.
You're stickin' with me.

Get it? "Stickin' with me"?

[ giggles ] Good one, Esme.

Come on.

Ooh! Bones!

Ooh! Egg!

Tilly!

Ooh! Roy!

[ giggles ] Come on, you two.

We all have to stick together
so no one gets lost.

OK. Let's try this again.

Which exhibit
should we all see together?

- Tilly: Dinosaurs!
- Simon: Magnets!

Fishies!

Hmm. There's gotta be something
you all wanna see.

- [ seagull cawing ]
- [ gasps ]

How about that
monster bird exhibit?

- Simon: All right.
- Tilly: OK.

- Snuggs: Sure.
- Roy: Well, that was easy.

Birdies, here we come.

Monsters: Ooh...

Hey, little monsters.

If you like that,
you're gonna love this.

[ seagulls cawing ]

[ monsters exclaim
in amazement ]

I know, right?

Hmm. Why are they
flying like that?

Birds fly in a "V" shape

because it helps them
save energy.

The birds in front
make it easier

for the birds
in back to fly.

[ seagulls cawing ]

Tilly:
But... why'd they trade places?

Norm:
It's hard work being a leader,

so they all take turns.

[ monsters exclaim
in excitement ]

Nature's pretty cool, right?

It sure is. Thanks, Norm.

No problemo.
Have fun, guys.

Well, that was great!

See how fun it is
when we all stay together?

So... what does everybody
wanna do-- Aah!

- Snuggs: Hooray!
- [ Simon and Tilly laughing ]

Oh, no you don't.

[ monsters groaning ]

Guys, I know
the museum is exciting,

but we need
to stay together.

[ monsters sigh ]

Who wants to sit here
and rest on the bench?

Just me? Really?

[ giggles ] Hmm.

[ gasps ] I know how
you can all stay together.

Why don't the three
of you hold hands?

- OK.
- All right.

Sure!

[ monsters giggle ]

Good idea, Esme.
I think it's working.

[ gasps ] Dinosaurs!

Fishies!

Whoa!

Whoa!

I gotcha.

[ gasps ] Magnets!

Oh, boy. Here we go again.

- We got this.
- Right.

Hmm.

[ gasps ]

[ grunting ]

Whoa! Be careful.

[ sighs ]

- Aah!
- Aah! Whoa!

[ giggles ]

[ sighs ]

[ giggling ]

- Ahem.
- Huh?

[ sighs ]

[ sighs ]

OK, guys. I know you all want
to see different exhibits,

but we need to stay together.

How about we start
at the space exhibit

and work our way
around the room?

But-- but Tilly want
to see dinosaurs.

And-and I wanna
see the fishy.

And I would like to see
the magnets. [ sniffles ]

[ monsters crying ]

Uh-oh. Triple monster-meltdown!

I know you guys are upset,

but we're gonna
figure this out, OK?

[ monsters exhale deeply ]

♪ In through your nose,

[ monsters exhale ]

♪ It's not hard at all ♪

Does everyone feel

- Yeah.
- Uh-huh.

A little.

OK. Good.

And I've got something
to help you feel even better.

♪ Snacks! ♪

- Snacks!
- Yummy.

- Mmm.
- [ monsters cheering ]

[ whispering ] Psst.
Roy! Monster-huddle.

[ snacking loudly ]

OK, but first can you put
this straw in for me?

[ giggles ] Here you go.

- [ drinking loudly ]
- What are we going to do, Roy?

Everyone wants to see
different exhibits,

but we can't be
in three places at once.

- [ seagulls cawing ]
- Not now, birds.

We're trying to come up
with a way to stay together.

[ gasps ]
Wait a monster-minute.

That's it!

I know how we can
all stay together.

We can pretend to be birds.

Monsters: Ooh.

Do we have to eat bird seed?

[ giggles ] No.

We'll fly in a V-formation.

Esme:
We can each take turns
being the leader,

and the leader will decide
where we go.

Roy:
Then the rest
of the birds will follow!

What do you say?

Wanna pretend to be birds?

[ monsters cheer affirmatively ]

[ whistles ]

[ monster-case whirring ]

Then get ready, guys.

It's playtime.

Pretending to be birds

really helped everyone
stay together.

Aww. Thanks, big guy.

In fact, I like being
a bird so much,

I made myself a nest.

[ giggles ]

Nice and cozy. Oh, yeah.

That's very comf-- [ snoring ]

Huh. Never knew birds snored.

Esme:
"Cowgirl Fig."

[ humming ]

Watcha working on, big guy?

Oh, hi, Esme.

I'm writing a story.

It's all about a lovable
monster named Roy.

I love that monster!

Will you read it to me?

[ clears throat ]
Once upon a time,

a lovable monster named Roy
had some hot cocoa for a snack.

- Ooh. Then what happened?
- I don't know.

I'm not done
with my hot cocoa.

[ drinking loudly ]

[ monster-case playing music ]

[ gasps ] We've got
a monster to watch.

Make that two monsters.

We're watching Hugo and Fig.

- Yes!
- [ monster-case whirring ]

[ honking ]

[ both giggle ]

- Yeah!
- Let's go!

- Whoo-hoo! [ giggles ]
- Whoo-hoo!

[ barking ]

Whoa!

Here we are.

Hugo and Fig's.

[ chuckles ]

[ honking ]

Ooh, I can't wait to see--

Hugo?

Lights, camera, monster-sitters!

- Hi.
- That's us.

- Hugo: Come on!
- [ Esme and Roy giggle ]

Hi, monster-sitters.

Hugo's got big plans
for you today.

[ giggles ]

Guess what, guys.

We're making a movie!

I'm the director.

[ whispering ]
That means I'm the boss.

And the actress
in my movie is...

Hmm. Where's the star
of my movie?

Whoa!

There she is!

Fig the star.

That's right, Figgles.

Now you'd better put Roy down.

You need to save your energy

to be in my movie.

- OK, Ugo.
- Whoa.

I can't wait
to see this movie,
my little monsters,

but first your dad and I
are headed to the Tidy Awards.

I'm getting an award
for Best Broom. Ehh? Ehh?

- Very impressive.
- Now that's a nice broom.

All right, guys. Have fun.

[ grunts ] Oh, right.

Bye now.

Come on! I'll show you

where we're making my movie.

Welcome to the movie set.

My movie's called...

"Cowgirl Fig
Saves the Spaghetti."

Ooh. What's it about?

It's about a cowgirl named Fig

who saves the spaghetti.

Fig will be the cowgirl.

See? Howdy.

And this will be
the spaghetti.

Esme and Roy: Ooh.

Do you need
any other actors

in your movie?

Any extra tall, extra fuzzy,

extra-extra handsome actors?

Yeah.
Do you know anyone?

[ giggles ]

Just kidding.

I need you both
to be in my movie.

Yes, yes, yes!

We get to be in a movie!

- Whoo!
- Yes!

Esme, you can play the bad guy

who takes all the spaghetti.

[ gasps ] Just call me...

"the noodle bandit."

And, Roy,
you can play the horse.

The horse?

All right!

- [ giggles ]
- [ imitates horse sounds ]

Hey, Roy, I "mustache"
you something.

Do you like my mustache?

[ imitates a horse ]

That's horse for "yes."

OK, everyone,

let's get ready
to make this movie.

♪ Lights, camera, action ♪

[ gasps ] Fig!

Monster fact number 756--

Baby Ooga monsters
love to knock things down.

Why did you do that?

That's not what happens
in my movie.

- It not?
- No.

The movie's called "Cowgirl Fig
Saves the Spaghetti,"

not "Cowgirl Fig Knocks
Everything Down."

Sorry, Ugo.

Fig still in movie?

Of course. I can't do
my movie without you, Figgles.

[ giggles ] Yay!

[ gasps ] She did it again!

That's not what Fig's
supposed to do.

Maybe you just need
to tell Fig

what you
want her to do.

Oh, yeah.

I'm the director of this movie.

It's my job to tell
everyone what to do.

OK, Figgles.
In this part of the story,

Esme's pretending
to take all the spaghetti,

so I need you to go get
the spaghetti back from her.

- Got it?
- Got it.

Places, places, everyone.

Lights, camera, action!

[ imitating a horse ]

Golly, Cowgirl Fig.

I can't find
our spaghetti anywhere.

I think someone
must've taken it.

[ imitates horse ]

[ Esme laughs malevolently ]

[ gasps ]
It's the noodle bandit!

That's right. And if you
want your spaghetti back,

you'll have to come
and get it.

I said, "You'll have
to come and get it."

Oh, won't someone,
a cowgirl perhaps,

go and save the spaghetti?

[ Roy imitates a horse ]

[ whispers ] Fig,
go get the spaghetti!

[ whispers ] OK.

Well, if it ain't
Cowgirl Fig.

I reckon there's just
one thing you want from me.

Ta-da!

Cut. Uh, Fig,

you were supposed
to get the spaghetti.

Mustache for Ugo.
[ giggles ]

Getting Fig to play along

might be harder than we thought.

OK, Cowgirl Fig.
Grab the-- wait a second.

Where'd she go?

Hi, Ugo.

Hi, hi, hi. Hi, hi. Hi.

Cut.

Whoo-hoo. Whee! Whoo-hoo!

[ sighs ] Cut.

[ imitates horse ]

- Whoa!
- Cut!

Fig?

Peekaboo! Peekaboo!

Cut, cut, cut!

Fig, I really want you
to be in my movie,

but you have to do
what I tell you!

[ frustrated kazoo sounds ]

Uh-oh. Monster-meltdown.

- I know you're upset, Hugo,
- [ sighs ]

but it's gonna be OK.

I've got something
that'll help.

- It's the glitter jar.
- [ sighs ]

Here. Shake it.

♪ When the glitter
starts to fall like snow ♪

♪ Take a deep breath,
nice and slow ♪

♪ Watch as it settles
all around ♪

♪ And feel your body
calming down ♪

[ breathes deeply ]

There. Are you
feeling more calm?

Uh-huh,
but I still don't know

why Fig won't do what I say.

Well, Fig's just
a little monster,

and sometimes little monsters

only do what they wanna do.

But, if Fig won't do
what I need her to,

then I can't make my movie.

[ sighs ] I guess
my movie's over.

- Whee!
- Hi, Fig.

Wanna help me
put this stuff away?

OK, Ugo.

Poor Hugo.

[ giggles ] Kablooey!

[ sighs ]

Too bad this movie

wasn't about
knocking stuff down.

We know Fig can do that.

Wait a monster-minute.

That's it! Maybe Fig
can be in the movie.

Hugo just needs
to let Fig do something

she already wants to do--

like knock things down!

Oh, yeah. But that sounds
like a big story change.

Think Hugo will wanna do it?

Of course I wanna do it,

but we'll need a new name
for my movie.

Something like...

"Cowgirl Fig
Knocks Everything Down"!

I love it!

Get ready, guys.

It's playtime.

Presenting my new movie,

"Cowgirl Fig Knocks
Everything Down."

Action!

Hugo:
Our story begins.

[ laughs malevolently ]

This here spaghetti is mine!

All mine!

[ imitates a horse ]

The noodle bandit is locking up

the spaghetti in that building.

[ imitating a horse ]

That's right,
and you'll never get there

because you won't
get past this barrel...

and this wagon...

and this remarkably
large cactus!

[ laughing malevolently ]

[ gasps ] Only a cowgirl

who can knock down
all of that stuff

can get the spaghetti back.

- [ imitates a horse ]
- [ giggles ]

Hugo:
[ whispers ] Fig, that's you.

You're the cowgirl
who can knock everything down.

Fig knock down?

Hugo:
Go on. Knock it all down.

Yay! Kablooey!

Kablooey! Kablooey!

Oh, no!
Not Cowgirl Fig!

Knock this down, too, Ugo?

[ whispers ] Yeah,
Figgles. Knock it down.

Kablooey!

Cowgirl Fig got spaghetti!

The end. That's a wrap.

Fig on film:
Kablooey! Kablooey!

Kablooey!

Cowgirl Fig
knock everything down.

It's the part
you were born to play.

I'm glad I changed
my movie for you, Figgles.

Psst. Check out
the guy playing the horse.

He's really good.

[ imitating a horse ]

Esme:
[ giggles ] Roy...

[ all laugh ]
