All: Esme and Roy!

Esme: "Top Dog."

Roy: Come on, you can do it!

Roy, What are you doing?

I'm trying to balance these pillows on my head

while standing on one foot.

‐ Ooh, that's tough. ‐ Whoa, whoa, whoa.

But if anyone can do it, you can.

Steady...

easy does it...

Wha‐‐!

‐ ( crash ) ‐ ( Roy groans )

‐ ( giggles ) ‐ I guess I didn't do it.

But you did make an amazing pillow fort!

Hey, you're right!

Oh, thanks, Esme.

( monster‐case playing )

( gasps ) We've got a monster to watch!

( stops playing )

‐ All right! We're watching Simon! ‐ Yay!

( dings )

( honks )

‐ Let's go! ‐ Whoo‐hoo!

Simon, here we come!

‐ ( honks ) ‐ Hello!

Here we are. Simon's house!

Roy: Race you to the doorbells!

‐ ( doorbells ring ) ‐ ( laughing )

Esme! Roy!

Come in!

Come in, come in!

‐ ( Roy laughing ) ‐ Esme: Whoa!

Esme! Roy!

‐ Hi, Simon! ‐ Hey, buddy!

( barking )

Sit, Willie, sit.

We're happy to see you, too.

( laughing ) Willie!

Come on! I have something I want to show you.

Grammy and I went

to the Monsterdale Dog Show yesterday

and saw dogs do all kinds of tricks!

There was a dog that jumped over a picnic table.

‐ Esme: Whoa. ‐ A dog that rode a skateboard.

‐ Roy: Wow! ‐ One dog even did a backflip!

I want to teach Willie a trick so he can be in

the next Monsterdale Dog Show.

( barks, snores )

‐ Think you could help me? ‐ Of course!

That's what monster‐sitters are for!

Swazoozle!

I can't wait to see what you come up with!

And now...

I'm off to my cooking class!

We're making swoozleberry pie.

‐ Esme: Bye! ‐ Bye, Grammy!

Love ya!

Come on! I know the first trick

I want to teach Willie.

I want to show Willie how to jump over a picnic table!

But I don't have a picnic table.

That's OK. Maybe there's something smaller

he can jump over‐‐ like that stool!

‐ ( barks ) ‐ Oh, good idea!

OK, Willie.

Jump over the stool.

Willie. You're supposed to go over the stool,

not under. Hee hee ha!

( snoring, muttering )

I don't think I've ever seen a dog fall asleep so fast.

But he didn't jump over the stool!

Maybe Willie will do the trick

if you hold a treat on the other side.

Great idea!

Willie loves treats!

Willie!

‐ ( rustling ) ‐ ( Willie grunts )

Here, boy!

Jump over the stool to get your treat!

( grunts )

Jump over.

( sniffing )

‐ ( grunts ) ‐ Willie.

Whoa, you weren't kiddin'.

He really loves those treats!

But he still didn't do the trick.

Maybe Willie would be better at a different trick.

Let's see...

( gasps ) We can teach Willie to shake hands!

‐ Perfect. ‐ Let's do it.

‐ ( snores, grunts ) ‐ OK, Willie.

When I say "shake," you shake hands like this.

Go ahead, boy. Shake!

Ruff!

‐ Whoa! ‐ Willie,

not that kind of shake!

I wish one of these dogs could show Willie what to do.

( whispering )

We may not have one of those dogs,

but we have something even better!

‐ Doggie Roy! ‐ Woof! Woofity‐woof!

Ta‐da!

‐ Hi, Doggie Roy. ‐ ( laughs )

Come on! Let's show Willie how it's done.

Here, Roy! Shake!

Woof!

Look at me. I'm shaking hands!

Woofity‐woof!

Good boy!

You get a meatball treat!

Mmm! Mmm!

Now it's your turn, Willie.

Shake just like Doggie Roy did.

Come on, boy, shake!

This is not good. Not good at all!

If we can't teach Willie a trick,

he'll never be in the Monsterdale Dog Show.

It's OK, Simon.

There's still lots of other tricks we can teach Willie.

♪ There are hundreds of tricks that you can do ♪

♪ From jumping through hoops, to swimming in goo ♪

♪ And if you follow me ♪

♪ I'm sure that you'll agree ♪

Both: ♪ We'll find the perfect trick, just wait and see ♪

♪ You can ride on a skateboard ♪

♪ And zoom through the streets ♪

♪ What do you think, Willie? ♪

♪ Hey, don't eat all the treats! ♪

♪ You can sit, you can stay ♪

♪ You can stand on the ground ♪

♪ Cut it out, Willie, stop shakin' around ♪

‐ ♪ You can jump over a log ♪ ‐ ♪ Paint a green bullfrog ♪

Both: ♪ Play the tuba, dance a jig, or be a DJ dog ♪

( Willie ruffing )

♪ You could give a high‐five ♪

♪ Or catch a long stick ♪

♪ Run through a tunnel and give a ball a kick ♪

♪ Here it comes ♪

All: ♪ It doesn't really matter ♪

♪ What you choose or what you pick ♪

♪ 'Cause all we're really asking is please ♪

♪ Just learn a trick ♪

( snoring )

That's it!

I've tried to each Willie every trick in the book‐‐

even tricks that aren't in the book!

And it's no use!

( sniffling )

Willie will never learn a trick

for the Monsterdale Dog Show.

( crying )

Uh‐oh. Monster‐meltdown.

Hey, Simon, I know you're feeling sad,

but it'll be OK.

♪ Take a deep breath ♪

♪ Put your hands on your tummy ♪

‐ ( inhales, exhales ) ‐ ♪ Feel your belly rise and fall ♪

♪ In through your nose ♪

♪ Out through your mouth ♪

♪ It's not hard at all ♪

( blows nose )

Thanks, Esme.

It's just, I wanted Willie

to be in the Monsterdale Dog Show

so everyone could see how special he is.

But I guess it'll never happen.

Aw. Simon's still so sad.

I wish there was a trick we could teach Willie.

‐ ( snoring ) ‐ It's too bad napping's not a trick.

Willie's really good at that.

Wait a monster‐minute! That's it!

Simon, Willie may not be able to do tricks like those other dogs,

but there are lots of tricks Willie's already great at!

Really? Like what?

Like finding dog treats.

‐ And being fluffy! And‐‐ ‐ ( snoring )

And napping.

I guess he is good at all those things.

Yeah. That's what makes Willie so special.

How about we make our own dog show

for all the tricks Willie does best?

Yes, yes, yes!

Then get ready, guys‐‐

it's playtime.

( music playing )

( toys squeaking )

Here we are, folks,

the first annual Swoozle Backyard Dog Show!

And look! Here come our first contestants‐‐

Simon and his dog Willie!

‐ ( barks ) ‐ ( giggles )

And here comes their competition,

Doggie Roy!

Woofity‐woof!

The dogs will complete in three events,

and then our judges will decide the winner.

The first event will be...

napping!

When the whistle blows,

the dogs will race to get in their beds.

And the first dog to fall asleep... wins!

‐ ( Willie barking ) ‐ Woof. Woof.

On your mark, get set...

( panting )

( blows whistle )

‐ And they're off! ‐ Go, Willie, go!

OK, beddy‐bye time.

‐ ( Willie snoring ) ‐ Wha‐‐?

This is amazing, folks!

Willie's in his bed and fast asleep!

Yay, Willie!

The next event will be the Fluffy Fur Challenge!

Both dogs will shake,

and whoever has the fluffiest fur, wins!

OK, Roy. You're up first.

Come on, fur.

( blabbers )

Fluff! Fluff! Am I fluffy?

Not really, big guy. But it was a good try.

Now let's see how Willie does!

All: Yay!

Good boy, Willie!

And now, the final event...

treat‐finding!

The first dog to find three treats...

wins!

You can do this, buddy!

You're the best treat‐finder I know!

Doggies, on your mark, get set... ( blows whistle )

‐ Ruff! Ruff! ‐ Yay!

Treats! Where are you, treats?

Esme: Roy is looking behind a tree...

under a rock,

and around Grammy's rose bushes.

But he hasn't found a treat yet.

Let's check in and see how Willie's doing.

( sniffing )

Esme: Willie found one...

( munching, gulping )

( sniffing )

...two...

...three treats!

And wow,

he just found the entire bag of treats behind me!

Good boy, Willie.

And now,

the moment we've all been waiting for.

Which dog will win the trophy?

Let's find out.

Thank you.

And the winner is...

‐ Who will it be? Who will it be? ‐ ( barking )

( gasps ) Willie wins!

‐ Yay! ‐ All right! You did it, Willie!

Good boy! Hee hee!

Well, Esme, you've done it again.

Playing dog show really showed off what Willie's great at.

Yeah, he sure is a special dog.

( laughs )

I knew you could do it, boy.

( munching )

( all laughing )

Esme: "Picture Day Predicament."

( humming )

Hey, Roy. Check it out.

I got a surprise for you!

( gasps ) What is it? What is it?

( gasps ) A shoe? A banana?

( gasps ) A banana shoe?

Wait! I want to take a picture of you

when you open it.

Ooh! Come on, come on!

You can wait. Don't open the box. Don't open the box.

‐ OK, Roy, you can‐‐ ‐ Open the box!

( camera clicking )

A meatball? Just what I always wanted!

( munches, gulps )

Seriously. I always want a meatball.

‐ Thanks, Esme! ‐ Anytime.

( monster‐case playing )

( gasps ) We've got a monster to watch!

( stops playing )

It's Tillie! And we're taking her to school!

Yes!

( dings )

( honks )

( both giggling )

‐ Whoo‐hoo! ‐ Whoo‐hoo!

Here we are.

‐ Oh, boy. ‐ ( giggling )

I can't wait to see little Tillie.

Oops. Sorry, Mr. Plink.

Come on in!

Tillie's almost ready.

Oh, Tillie?

Look who's taking you to school today.

Esme! Roy!

Roy! Esme!

‐ Yay! ‐ ( all laughing )

‐ Aw. ‐ Hi, Tillie.

( giggles )

Whew! All done brushing your pigtails.

Wow, Tillie seems extra‐fluffy today.

That's because it's School Picture Day,

so it's important that Tillie stays nice and clean.

We don't want a repeat of last year.

Or the year before that, or... ( laughs )

the year before that.

( laughing ) What is that?

That Tillie! ( giggles )

Monster‐fact number 573:

Little Plink‐monsters love to get messy.

Uh‐huh!

Well, don't worry, Mr. Plink.

We'll make sure Tillie stays nice and clean for Picture Day.

Thanks, guys. I knew I could count on you.

Bye, Tillie.

Daddy's off to an important monster‐meeting.

‐ Beep, beep! ‐ Bye, Daddy!

Beep, beep!

OK, Tillie. Let's get you to school.

Whoo‐hoo! Yay!

Hoo hoo hoo hoo!

Tillie gonna take a picture,

and Tillie's pigtails gonna be so pigtail‐y.

And Tillie gonna smile like this.

Cheese!

( gasps )

‐ Uh‐oh. ‐ Slime sprinklers!

Tillie love slime sprinklers.

‐ Yay! ‐ Both: Aaah!

( giggling )

Slime, slime, slime!

No!

‐ Phew! ‐ Ohh.

Tillie want to play in slime.

Well, at least it's not my Picture Day.

Brrr!

( sighs )

I know you like the slime, Tillie,

but you need to stay clean for Picture Day.

( sighs )

Psst! Esme.

How are we gonna get Tillie past those sprinklers

without getting messy?

Hmm.

Maybe we can turn it into a game!

Hey, Tillie.

Wanna play Red Light, Green Light?

( gasps ) Tillie play!

Great! Here are the rules.

When I say "Green Light," you run as fast as you can.

But when I say "Red Light,"

you freeze. Are you ready?

Both: Ready!

‐ OK. Green Light! ‐ Run!

( all laughing )

‐ Red Light! ‐ Freeze!

Whew.

Green Light!

( all laughing )

Red Light!

( whispers ) It's working!

We're almost there,

and Tillie's still clean!

Green Light!

All right! We made it.

Tillie went zoom past sprinklers!

You sure did.

Now come on. We've gotta get you to school.

I just hope we don't pass anything else messy.

Aah!

Yay!

Tillie's school is just on the other side of this‐‐

( gasps ) No!

Don't worry, Roy. It's just mud.

Just drippy, gloopy,

muddy... mud.

I think it might be easier to bring the school to Tillie.

Tillie want to play

in mud!

Mud, mud, mud!

Tillie! Red Light!

Roy, she's not Red‐Lighting!

Not again!

( Tillie laughing )

( squeals ) Aw.

Tillie want to play in mud.

I know you do, Tillie,

but we have to keep you clean for Picture Day.

Remember?

( Tillie sighs )

Tillie remember.

Psst. Roy.

How are we gonna get Tillie across this muddy field?

Um...

How about a monster‐back ride?

Monster‐back ride!

Good idea, Roy!

Tillie won't be able to play in the mud from up there.

‐ OK, Tillie. Here we go! ‐ ( Tillie laughs )

( squishing )

Tillie love mud.

Tillie want to play in mud!

Whoa! Whoa! Tillie, I can't see!

Whoa! Uh‐oh.

Whoa‐oa!

Well, that could have gone better.

Tillie, I know you really want to play in the mud,

but you need to wait until after Picture Day.

But waiting so hard!

Tillie love mud!

Tillie want to jump in that mud,

and that mud, and that mud!

Tillie want to jump in all the mud right now!

Uh‐oh. Monster‐meltdown.

‐ You feel any better? ‐ Uh‐huh.

Tillie will try to stay clean.

But Tillie still want to play in mud.

Tillie love mud.

There's no way Tillie will be able

to stay away from this much mud!

Hold that thought.

What'll we do? What'll we do?!

Hold that thought again.

I wish we could make staying clean fun for Tillie.

Wait a monster‐minute! That's it!

Maybe we can make going around the puddles

as much fun as jumping in them!

‐ We can do that? ‐ Yeah.

We can build an obstacle course to get around the mud!

( gasps ) Tillie love obstacle course!

Then get ready, guys. It's playtime.

( laughing )

Got the pool noodles.

These hoops will come in handy!

Esme: Just need to put them here and...

‐ Is it ready yet? ‐ It's ready!

Tillie Plink, take a look at your very own...

Both: ...obstacle course!

‐ Wow! ‐ Yeah. It's good.

OK, Tillie, here's how you do it.

First, you walk across the balance beam,

then you jump over the hurdles,

and last, you hop through the hoops!

And then, you win!

Tillie ready! Tillie ready!

Me too! Me too!

Then on your mark, get set...

Go!

Hey! Wait for me!

Keep mud away on Picture Day.

Keep mud away on Picture Day.

Go, Tillie!

Keep mud away on Picture Day!

You're doing great, Tillie!

Keep mud away on Picture Day!

Keep mud away on Picture Day!

‐ You did it! ‐ Yay!

( both laughing )

The obstacle course kept you so clean!

Look! No mud anywhere.

Tillie clean for Picture Day!

Whoo! That was totally...

awesome!

‐ Can we do this every year? ‐ Sure!

Now, who's ready for their school picture?

Tillie!

‐ Come on! ‐ Yay!

Let's go!

( school bell ringing )

Tillie, your picture looks great!

Thank you!

Tillie very clean.

And guess what?

Now that your picture's done,

your dad said you can... get muddy!

Can Tillie get muddy now?

Both: Now!

Whoo‐hoo!

Now, that would make a great picture.
