So, whatcha makin' there, Esme?

I'm making a pattern bracelet. See?

Big pom‐pom, little pom‐pom,

big pom‐pom, little pom‐pom.

How about you?

I'm making a spaghetti and meatball necklace.

( gulps )

‐ ( monster‐case plays music ) ‐ We've got a monster to watch!

( music playing )

( music ends )

( gasps ) Today we're watching Hugo...

and Tillie...

and Simon.

Whoa, that's a lot of monsters.

Yup, and they're all coming here.

( gasps ) Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Both: Dance party!

‐ ( whistles ) ‐ ( boing )

( noisemaker blows )

( music playing )

Dance Headquarters is officially open for business.

‐ Yes! ‐ ( doorbell rings )

Both: They're here!

‐ Bye, Mom. ‐ Love you, Grammy!

All: Esme and Roy!

( all cheering, laughing )

We're happy to see you guys, too!

So who's ready for a dance party?

‐ Me, me, me! ‐ I am!

( whistles )

All: Hurray!

Come on, let's boogie!

‐ ( music playing ) ‐ Whoo‐hoo!

( all laughing )

Yeah!

Yeah! Hurray!

‐ ( Hugo squeaking ) ‐ Don't you just love monsters?

( squeaking ) Yeah!

( gasps )

Oh...

( music continues )

( laughing )

( sneakers squeaking )

Hey, Simon, want to dance with me?

Yes. I would like that very much.

But I don't know how.

That's OK. Just let loose and have fun.

( music continues )

( laughing )

Nice wave, Simon.

( laughing ) Thanks!

Go, Simon! Go, Simon! Go, Simon!

Uh‐oh. My arms are getting wiggly!

Whoa!

( sighs )

‐ Psst! Roy! ‐ Huh?

‐ ( needle scratches ) ‐ ( music stops )

Simon, you were doing great out there!

Want to give it another try?

I'd like to, but my arms will just get the my way again.

It's not easy keeping track of six arms.

I have enough trouble with these two!

Oops. See?

( laughing )

Hey, I have an idea.

If your arms start to get too wiggly,

we can stop the music.

We'll make it a game!

Really? I love games!

Yep, just leave it to me.

OK, little monsters!

Get ready to play Freeze Dance!

‐ Freeze Dance! ‐ Let's play!

‐ ( Hugo toots horn ) ‐ Here's how it works.

When I stop the music, you freeze!

You got this, Simon.

( takes deep breath )

OK.

Every monster... dance!

‐ ( music playing ) ‐ ( all laughing )

Yeah! Whoo‐hoo!

( squeaking )

( Tillie squeaks, laughs )

( laughs )

Whoa!

( gasps ) And freeze!

‐ ( music stops ) ‐ ( all laughing )

Whew! ( laughs )

Now... dance!

( music resumes )

Whoo‐hoo!

( laughing )

( music continues )

‐ Oh... ‐ Whoa!

Whoa...

Esme! Simon alert!

Whoa!

‐ And freeze! ‐ ( music stops )

Huh?

‐ Whew. ‐ ( laughing )

Now dance!

( music resumes )

Go Hugo, go Hugo, go Hugo!

( music continues )

Simon: Oh‐oh!

Whoa! Whoa! Oof!

( music stops )

I'm so sorry, Simon.

Are you OK?

I'm OK, but every time I try to dance,

my arms just get in the way!

( sighs )

I wish I could dance like you guys.

Simon can do it!

Yeah! We'll teach you how to dance like us.

Really?

Of course!

Come on!

‐ Whoa! ‐ Simon!

( groans )

‐ ( all gasp ) ‐ Oh!

( sniffling )

I‐‐ I don't want to dance anymore.

Ever!

No... thank you.

( crying )

Uh‐oh! Monster‐meltdown!

‐ ( Simon crying ) ‐ Simon?

Yes? ( sniffles )

‐ Can I come inside? ‐ Uh‐huh.

I know you're sad, Simon, but it'll be OK.

I'll clean up now.

( sighs ) Oh, Simon.

I hate to see him so sad.

( Simon sighs )

I know. It's too bad he doesn't want to dance anymore.

He had some great moves.

The wave, the point, and the slide.

Wave, point, and slide.

Hmm.

Wave, point, slide.

Wait a monster‐minute. That's it!

Maybe if we give Simon a dance pattern to follow,

he can switch moves before his arms get in the way!

It's working for these two!

‐ ( laughs ) Come on! ‐ Come on!

‐ Simon, wait! ‐ Simon, we realized

you don't need to dance like us,

you need to dance like you!

Like me? What do you mean?

Will you watch us do one more dance?

Please? Oh, please? Oh, please?

( laughing ) OK.

Esme, give me a beat!

‐ ( music playing ) ‐ ( laughing )

Presenting... The Simon!

The Simon?

Yep. First, you wave...

Then you point...

Then you slide.

Then the pattern starts all over.

Both: Wave, point, slide!

Wave, point, slide!

Wave, point,

slide.

Simon, you're dancing!

‐ I am? ‐ Yeah!

You're doing The Simon, Simon!

All: Wave, point, slide!

Esme and Roy: Wave, point...

Slide!

Wave! Point! Slide!

Now that I know what's coming next,

my arms don't get in the way!

Wave, point, slide.

( laughing )

( gasps ) Look at Simon!

Ooh! Tillie want to try!

All: Wave, point, slide!

Wave, point, slide!

‐ Yes! ‐ Let's do The Simon!

Wave, point, slide!

( laughing )

‐ Do The Simon! ‐ Whoo‐hoo!

‐ Go, Simon! ‐ ( all cheering )

Roy: Boogie down! Yes!

Roy: Another monster‐sitting success.

Who knew that following a pattern

could help Simon dance?

Wave, point, slide!

Wave, point, slide!

Oh! Do you think we can make up our own monster‐sitters dance?

Of course we can!

( whistles )

( music playing )

First you do The Monster Hop...

( laughing ) Then you do The Sitter Wiggle...

Wiggle‐iggle‐iggle‐‐ Oh!

Then you finish with The Monster Hug!

( both laughing )

Esme: "Block Party."

Oh, this is gonna be one tasty lunch!

PB&J... check.

Triple meatball with goo... check.

Whoo! Making that sandwich was hard work.

I think I'll reward myself... with the sandwich.

( laughing ) Roy!

‐ It's not lunchtime yet. ‐ Oh.

Besides, I think we might need to clean up.

Huh. I guess you're right.

You made a big mess!

Roy!

I'll see you at lunch.

( both laughing )

‐ ( music playing ) ‐ ( both gasp )

We better clean up fast!

We've got a monster to watch.

‐ Yes! We're watching Tillie! ‐ Yay!

‐ ( horn honks ) ‐ ( laughs )

( laughing )

‐ Let's go! ‐ Whoo whoo!

( both laughing )

Here we are. Tillie's house!

‐ Come on! ‐ Let's go!

( doorbell rings )

Hi, Esme! Oh, hi, Roy!

‐ Hi, Mr. Plink! ‐ Good morning.

( watch beeping )

Don't mind me!

I'm just training for my monster‐marathon.

‐ But Tillie can't wait to‐‐ ‐ Yay!

‐ ‐‐see you. ‐ ( laughs )

‐ Esme! ‐ Aww!

We're excited to see you too, Tillie!

‐ Beep beep! ‐ ( laughs )

Come on! Tillie want to show you something!

Look! Tillie have a new bulldozer!

‐ Whoo! ‐ A bulldozer!

Vroom! Vroom!

Beep beep! Vroom!

Play with Tillie?

Not so fast, my little Tillie‐racer.

Before you play with your new truck,

you promised to help clean up your blocks.

This way, guys!

One, and‐two, and‐three, and‐four!

( laughing )

‐ Wow. Tillie's been busy! ‐ Ha! Yep!

She needs to put all her blocks in this crate

before she can play with her new truck.

You need to be a big monster‐helper, right, Tillie?

Right!

OK, Mr. Plink, we'll make sure

Tillie cleans up all her blocks.

‐ Thanks, guys. Oh! ‐ ( watch beeping )

Time to start my monster‐thon training run.

Be back in a jiff! Meep meep!

One, and‐two, and‐three, and‐four,

and‐one, and‐two...

‐ Bye, Mr. Plink! ‐ See ya later!

Bye, Daddy!

All right, Tillie,

ready to clean up some blocks?

Tillie ready!

( laughing )

Wow, look at her go!

Yup. Those blocks will be cleaned up in no time!

Tillie: Beep beep!

Vroom vroom!

Vroom! Vroom!

Beep beep!

Vroom!

Tillie, you need to help clean up the blocks

before you can play with your truck.

‐ Remember? ‐ Ohh.

Tillie remember.

But picking up blocks takes so long!

And there's so many!

Aww.

Hmm. I have an idea!

Cleaning up the blocks won't take so long

if we make it...

( whistles )

...a race!

A race?

Yay! Tillie love racing!

OK, then let's see how fast you can clean up the blocks.

‐ Psst! Roy! ‐ Got it.

Welcome, spectators, to the race of the century!

The five‐block dash!

Whoo‐hoo!

Five‐block dash!

The first racer to pick up five blocks

and put them in the crate, wins!

Racers, on your marks,

get set...

...roar!

‐ ( laughing ) ‐ Here comes Tillie!

( all laughing )

Wait for me!

‐ Mm! Tillie win! Tillie win! ‐ Not yet, Tillie.

You have to pick up five blocks before you win.

( panting ) Whoo! That's right, racing fans,

Tillie has four more blocks to go.

I'm going to get another block.

Bet you can't beat me, Tillie!

Now I have two blocks!

Just three more to go.

Tillie so fast!

‐ ( laughs ) ‐ Ohh.

( panting )

( gasps )

OK, Esme win.

Tillie play with truck now.

( panting ) Guess the race... didn't work.

Huh. Looks like we'll have to try something else.

Can something else be a nap?

( laughs )

Beep beep!

Vroom! ( laughs )

Sorry, Tillie, but you've got to help clean up your blocks

before you can play with your bulldozer.

You're a big monster‐helper, right?

Yes, but picking up blocks not fun.

You know what always makes cleaning up more fun?

Now that you're feeling calm,

think you can start picking up your blocks?

( sighs ) OK.

Roy! Monster‐huddle.

What are we gonna do?

Tillie's still not cleaning up.

( sighs )

I wish we could make cleaning up blocks

as much fun as playing with that bulldozer.

Wait a monster‐minute.

That's it!

We can make our own bulldozer

and pretend to be construction workers!

Then Tillie can play while she cleans up her blocks.

Wow! I knew you were good, but that's good.

If we're gonna be construction workers, we'll need these.

( laughs )

Ahem. Excuse me, ma'am,

we have to clean up our construction site,

and we need someone to drive a bulldozer.

Do you know any little monsters who could help us?

( gasps ) Tillie can drive bulldozer!

Tillie help!

Then get ready, construction workers.

It's playtime.

( music playing )

( music continues )

( gasps ) Whoo‐hoo!

( whistle blows )

( laughing )

Yay, Tillie!

You cleaned up all the blocks!

You're great monster‐helper!

Thanks.

I told you, I can't resist a group hug.

Don't you just love monsters?

( laughs )

So, Tillie,

now that you've cleaned up all your blocks,

want to play with your new truck?

Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Come on, Esme! Come on, Roy!

Let's play!

Vroom! Vroom!

Over here, Tillie!

Vroom! Vroom!

Vroom! Vroom! Here I come!

Another monster‐sitting job well done, huh, Esme?

You said it, Roy!

Tillie did a great job cleaning up.

Playing construction worker really got those blocks picked up in a hurry.

Yeah, and it made me hungry.

Finally, lunch!

Mmm! So good! Want half?

Mm‐hmm. Oh, yeah.
