Kids: Esme and Roy!

Esme: "Hugo, We Have a Problem."

‐ Whoa! ( Esme giggles ) ‐ ( Roy giggles )

Wahoo! Big splash.

Wahoo! Bigger splash.

Whoa. Look at that puddle.

Think we can do it?

Only one way to find out.

‐ ( Roy laughing ) ‐ Here we come! ( laughs )

Both: Biggest splash ever!

‐ All right! ‐ ( Esme laughs )

( music playing )

We've got a monster to watch.

Make that two monsters. We're watching Hugo and Fig.

( honking )

( both giggle )

Come on. Let's go.

( both giggle )

Roy: Here we are. Fig and Hugo's house.

Esme, Roy, come on inside.

It's wetter out there than a water balloon

in a swimming pool.

It sure is!

( sighs ) Thanks, Mr. Ooga.

‐ ( Fig kazoos ) ‐ Hi, Fig.

Hi.

( grunts )

I can't get these things off.

‐ Fig help. ‐ Whoa.

( Roy and Fig giggling )

Thanks, Fig. I think I'm good.

( all giggling )

It's too wet to play outside today,

so I was hoping you could take Hugo and Fig

to the Monster‐dale planetarium.

Wow! We'd love to.

Yeah. I've never been

to a plan‐a‐hairy‐gum before.

( giggles ) It's a planetarium, big guy.

It's a special place

where you get to learn all about‐‐

Space.

Spotlight.

Yes. Today, we go to...

space,

where we'll discover new planets,

dodge asteroids,

and, if we're good,

eat yummy astronaut ice cream!

Hugo's just a little excited about the planetarium.

( laughing and cheering ) Yeah!

Esme: We can tell.

Well, I'm off.

My ooga‐tuba teacher waits for no monster.

Have fun, kids. Oh‐‐ and don't forget

to wear your raincoats.

It's wetter out here than, uh...

A glass of water in a bubble bath?

Mr. Ooga: Good one, Esme.

( giggles )

Bye‐bye.

‐ Bye, Mr. Ooga. ‐ See you later.

‐ Hugo: Bye, Dad. ‐ Fig: Bye, Dada.

All right, Hugo and Fig. You heard your dad.

We can go to the planetarium

just as soon as you get‐‐

Ready!

Hugo! How did you‐‐? When did you‐‐?

Oh, never mind.

Great work, Hugo.

Thank you, thank you.

Now, let's blast off to the planetarium.

Fig: Three, two, one... blast off!

Just a minute, guys.

Fig still has to put on her raingear.

Aww. Don't you just love monster outfits?

Especially when they're so teeny‐tiny.

Come on, Fig. Here's your raincoat.

Fig: No thanks.

( sighs ) Fig never wants

to put on her raincoat.

Nope.

Well, we can't go outside

until you put in on, little Fig.

What?! But we have to go outside

to get to the planetarium.

I learned tons of cool space facts just for today.

Did you know that planet Jupiter has at least 53 moons?

Fifty‐three moons? I gotta see that!

I know! Me, too!

Don't worry, guys. We will.

If Fig won't put on her raingear by herself,

we'll just help her.

Great idea, Esme.

I mean, how hard can it be

to put a little monster

in a raincoat?

Fig: Whee!

Fig: Whoo!

Fig: Yay!

( Fig giggles )

( Fig giggles )

‐ Yes! ‐ ( Fig giggles )

‐ Huh? ‐ Huh?

This is harder than I thought it would be.

Fig: Waah!

( sighs ) Esme, can we please

go to the planetarium now?

( Fig giggles ) Faster!

Fig still won't put on her raingear.

( gasps ) Wait.

What if Fig doesn't need a raincoat anymore?

Maybe it stopped raining.

( sputtering )

Never mind.

Whoa.

It's wetter out there than, uh,

something really wet.

Yeah. I'm soaked.

( Esme giggles )

Fig: Hugo dancing.

Well, I guess we know Fig likes to dance.

( giggles )

Monster fact number 754‐‐

Monsters love to boogie.

I know!

If we make putting on raingear

more like dance,

maybe Fig will join in.

Esme! I'm liking this plan.

Ha cha cha cha!

Me, too.

But what dance would help Fig

put on her raincoat?

( Esme and Roy gasp )

The monster shimmy!

The monster shimmy?

I know the can‐can, the funky chicken,

and the funky chicken opening a can‐can,

but I've never heard of the monster shimmy.

That's OK, Hugo.

Just follow our lead.

♪ There's a new dance in town every monster can do ♪

♪ It's the monster shimmy and you can learn it, too ♪

♪ First, you move you hands ♪

♪ Chomp, chomp ♪

♪ And then you move your feet ♪

♪ Stomp, stomp ♪

♪ Then circle all around like you're going for a swim‐y ♪

♪ That's how you do the monster shimmy ♪

♪ Do the shimmy‐‐ yeah, yeah ♪

♪ Do the monster shimmy‐‐ yeah, yeah ♪

♪ First you move your hands ♪

♪ Chomp, chomp ♪

♪ Then you move your feet ♪

♪ Stomp, stomp ♪

♪ Flex your muscles like you're going to the gym‐y ♪

♪ That's how you do the monster shimmy ♪

It's working.

Now Fig just needs her hat.

Leave this one to me.

♪ First you move your hands ♪

♪ Chomp, chomp ♪

♪ Then you move your feet ♪

♪ Stomp, stomp ♪

♪ Then you put on your hat with the tiny pink brim‐y ♪

♪ That's how you do the monster‐‐ ♪

( record scratches )

All: Shimmy?

No, thanks. Fig done.

Three, two, one, blast off!

Fig: Zoom!

Even when we get Fig to put her raingear on,

she won't keep it on.

Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no!

We're gonna miss the planetarium.

We won't get to learn about the sun

or the stars or any planets‐‐

like Saturn, which has lots of rings around it.

Really? Saturn has rings?

Yeah, but forget about seeing them!

( frantic kazoo )

Uh‐oh. Monster‐meltdown.

I know you're frustrated, Hugo,

but we'll figure something out.

♪ Take a deep breath ♪

♪ Put your hands on your tummy ♪

♪ Feel your belly rise and fall ♪

( inhales and exhales )

♪ In through your nose ♪

♪ Out through your mouth ♪

♪ It's not hard at all ♪

There. Are you feeling a little better?

Yeah, but I guess we don't need

these tickets anymore.

( sighs )

Spotlight.

♪ My dreams of space are over ♪

♪ They'd only just begun ♪

♪ Hard, as we tried ♪

♪ We couldn't get outside ♪

♪ So we're three, two, one ♪

♪ All done ♪

Three, two, one, hug?

Hee hee. Blast off!

( Hugo giggles ) Fig.

Zoom!

Fig sure likes

playing astronaut.

Yeah. Fig loves to blast off,

right, Figgles?

Uh‐huh. Fig go zoom.

Wait a monster‐minute. That's it.

I know how we can get Fig to put on her raingear

and keep it on.

We can turn it into a spacesuit.

Whoa. She'll look like an astronaut.

We all will.

We can turn our raingear

into spacesuits, too.

( Roy, Fig, and Hugo cheering )

Wahoo! We're going to space.

( whistles )

Mission control, it's playtime.

If we're gonna be astronauts,

the first thing we need is helmets.

That's how we breathe in space.

Ooh.

Then we need special boots to protect our feet

when we're walking on the moon.

( gasps )

Check it out‐‐ Moonwalk.

( Hugo and Fig giggle )

Next, we need warm space suits...

'cause space is very cold‐‐

and special jetpacks to help us move around.

Astronauts, I think we're ready.

( dramatic music playing )

( gasps ) Whoa.

I'm OK.

All right. We have our space suits.

And our spaceship.

Let's prepare for blast off.

Commencing countdown.

All: Three, two, one...

Fig: Blast off!

‐ Esme: Whoa! ‐ Roy: Whoa!

‐ Hugo: Wahoo! ( giggles ) ‐ ( laughing and cheering )

Wow. Outer space is amazing.

Rainier than I thought,

but also amazing.

Look at me. I'm floating. ( giggles )

Oh, yeah. You float in space 'cause there's no gravity.

( giggles ) Fig loves space.

Blast off!

( Esme giggles )

Guess playing astronauts worked.

Fig's still in her raingear.

Yeah. And there's the planetarium!

Come on, astronauts.

Our mission is almost complete.

( all cheering )

Fig: Ooh. Pretty.

Roy: You said it. This planetarium's incredible.

I think Hugo likes it, too.

( gasps ) There's Jupiter and Saturn

and Saturn's rings!

And this astronaut ice cream is delicious.

I love space.

Wahoo!

( Esme and Roy laughing )

Esme: "A New Chapter."

( Esme humming )

Hey, Esme. Watcha doing?

I'm making something‐‐ something for you.

Something for me?

( chuckles ) What is it?

What is it, what is it, what is it, what is it?

Ah‐ah‐ah. No peeking.

You'll just have to wait till I'm done.

OK... Are you done?

‐ Nope. ‐ How about now?

Roy.

I'll just wait down here.

( mumbling impatiently )

Come on. Come on.

OK. It's ready.

Roy: ( gasps ) I love it.

Aww, thanks, Esme.

That was definitely worth the wait.

( music playing )

( Esme gasps )

( music playing )

We've got a monster to watch.

Oh! Today we're watching Simon!

Ho ho ho!

( machine whirring )

( honking )

( Esme and Roy giggling )

Esme and Roy: Let's go!

Esme: Aww.

Roy: Thank you.

( Roy chuckles )

Esme : Here we are. The Swoozle house.

‐ One, two, three, four, five‐‐ ‐ ( various doorbells ringing )

Six!

Hi, Grammy Swoozle.

( Grammy Swoozle laughing )

Esme, Roy, come in. Come in.

Come in!

Simon has been looking forward to seeing you all day.

Oh, Simon!

Whee! I'm not Simon.

I'm Mighty Monster,

and this is my sidekick, Super Willy.

( snoring )

( giggles ) Don't you just love monsters?

I just got the brand new Mighty Monster book,

"Mighty Monster Saves Space."

Oh. I can't wait to find out

what Mighty Monster does this time.

I know.

( makes blast off sound )

Well, I'm off

to perform my one‐woman show,

"Up in Arms."

Oh! Whoopsie‐Swoozle.

‐ Don't worry, Grammy. ‐ We'll get 'em.

Thanks, monster‐sitters.

Grammy, I didn't know you were an actress.

( laughs ) Oh, yes.

In my younger days,

I starred in big hits like "Les Monsterables"

and "Scare‐spray."

( chuckles ) Whoo‐hoo! There we go.

‐ Whoa. ‐ Whoa.

( Esme and Roy giggle )

There goes my little superhero.

( Grammy chuckles )

‐ Simon: Whoosh! ‐ ( Willy barks )

Aw, Willy, are you trying to say,

"Good luck in your show"?

( barks )

Why, thank you.

( whimpering )

Now, Sim‐y,

be sure to eat something

before you read your new book.

Even Mighty Monster needs his lunch.

OK, Grammy.

Good luck in your show.

‐ Bye, Grammy. ‐ See you later.

( barks )

( blows kisses ) Bye.

Whoosh. While we eat, I'll tell you the story

of how Mighty Monster saved the dinosaurs.

‐ OK. ‐ Ooh.

And that's how Mighty Monster

saved the day‐‐ mmm...

( swallows ) and the dinosaurs.

‐ Wow. ‐ Wow.

Now can we read

my new Mighty Monster book,

please?

( Willy whimpers sadly )

Yep. "Mighty Monster Saves Space,"

coming right up.

( Willy whimpers )

‐ Uh... ‐ Hmm. Where is it?

Simon, your Mighty Monster book

was in the living room, wasn't it?

Uh‐huh. On the table.

That's weird. There's nothing here.

( frustrated growling )

( phone ringing )

Monster‐sitters. This is Esme.

Oh, Esme, it's Grammy Swoozle.

I'm at my show, and, well‐‐ Swazoozle!

I accidently took Simon's new Mighty Monster book.

Oh, boy. That's not good.

( crowd applauds )

My show's about to start,

but please tell my little Sim‐y

I'll bring his book home as soon as I'm done.

Oh! Bye now.

Bye, Grammy.

Roy, you'll never guess what happened‐‐

Aah!

Grammy took Simon's book to her show

and she won't be able to bring it back until later?

Good guess.

( gasps ) Grammy has my book?

It's OK, Simon. She'll bring it back

as soon as her show is over.

But I really want to read my book now.

Hey! Why don't we read

one of these other Mighty Monster books while we wait?

Oh, this looks like a good one.

"Mighty Monster Saves the Train."

( sighs ) I already read that 54 times.

"Might Monster Saves the Jungle"?

I read that one 86 times.

"Mighty Monster Saves a Restaurant"?

Ninety‐two times.

The cheese factory?

‐ 373 times. ‐ The ant farm!

A thousand times.

Whoa. That's a lot of times.

I love those books,

but I really wanted to read my new book.

Ooh! I know.

( whistles )

We can play with something

from the monster‐case while we wait.

Why don't we do a puzzle?

Yeah! This one has lots of pieces.

By the time we finish,

I bet Grammy will be back with your book.

Done.

‐ Wow. ‐ Did not see that one coming.

Is Grammy home yet?

Not yet, but I'm sure we can find

something fun to do while we wait.

you're excited about.

But don't worry, Simon.

Grammy'll be back as soon as she's done acting in her show.

Acting in her show...

Wait a monster‐minute. That's it.

Simon, we may not be able

to read your Mighty Monster book,

but what if we act it out?

Act it out?

But I don't know how the story goes.

That's OK. We can make it up.

You can play Mighty Monster‐‐

And Willy can play Super Willy.

Huh?

( gasps ) Can you guys be in it, too?

Can we? Can we?!

Ho ho‐‐ I don't know. Can we?

Of course we can.

Get ready, guys.

It's playtime.

( vocalizes fanfare )

Mighty Monster is here to save the day.

Whoa!

Too much?

A little.

OK, Simon.

How does the story start?

Hmm. Once upon a time, in a galaxy far away,

Mighty Monster was minding his own business

when he heard a cry for help.

‐ ( Simon clear his throat ) ‐ Esme: Oh, that's my part.

Eek! Help, help!

Something terrible has happened!

Psst. What happened?

Some fancy jewels were stolen...

by a space alien.

A space alien? What'll we do?

What'll we do?!

Mighty Monster will help you.

So Mighty Monster flew into space.

Roy, can you help me fly?

You got it.

( Simon giggles ) Don't forget Super Willy.

( confused growling )

( Willy panting )

( Simon laughs ) Zoom, boy. Zoom!

Whoosh!

‐ Whoa! Whee! ‐ ( Willy howling )

Is this zooming?

Whew! Sure feels like zooming.

OK, Simon. What happens next in the story?

Next, Mighty Monster saw the space alien

flying away with the fancy jewels.

I've got the fancy jewels, but you'll never catch me.

( laughs malevolently )

Oh, yes, we will!

‐ Roy, follow that alien! ‐ ( laughs )

And the superheroes chased the alien

back to her planet.

Phew. I like this part.

And that's when Mighty Monster

stopped the alien by using his‐‐

his stink beam!

‐ ( imitating laser beam ) ‐ ( Ugh, ugh, ugh!

Ah, so stinky.

You can have your fancy jewels back.

I'm going somewhere less‐‐ less... stinky!

‐ ( Simon laughs ) ‐ ( Willy barks )

Simon: And that's how

Might Monster saved the day‐‐

and the fancy jewels.

The end.

‐ Hooray! ‐ Yay! Encore!

‐ ( door opening ) ‐ Willy: Huh?

I'm home.

Hi, Grammy.

How was your show?

( gasps ) Stupendous!

But I am so sorry I took your new book.

That's OK. While we were waiting,

Esme and Roy helped me make

my own Mighty Monster story.

I got to play Mighty Monster!

‐ Zoom! ‐ That's wonderful, sweetie.

Ha. So... would you like to read your new book now?

Yes, but first... can we show you

our Mighty Monster story?

I think you'll like it.

Well, it sounds like I'm not the only Swoozle

with a flair for the dramatic.

( laughs )

Oh, what do you say, monster‐sitters?

We say...

Both: On with the show!

Simon: Whoo‐hoo! Let's go, guys!

‐ Roy: Let's do it! ‐ Grammy: I love the theatre.
