Esme: "Grandmonster's Day."

Um, "You're oh so sweet."

And, um‐‐

Hey, Roy. Watcha doin'?

Oh! I'm writing a card for Grandmonster's Day.

Grandmonster's Day? What's that?

It's the day when monsters celebrate their grandparents.

This card is for my grandma,

but I don't know how to end my poem.

Maybe I can help.

OK. Here's what I've got so far.

( clears throat ) Roses are red, violets are blue,

you are oh so sweet, and...

Hmm, you just need

something that rhymes with blue.

Perfect! You're oh so sweet,

and "something that rhymes with blue."

‐ ( giggles ) ‐ ( monster‐case playing music )

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

( music continues )

‐ Today we're watching Simon! ‐ OK!

( monster‐case whirring )

( honking )

( both giggling )

‐ Here we go! ‐ Let's roll!

Esme: Whoo‐hoo! ( giggles )

‐ We're here. ‐ Simon's house!

Esme, Roy! Whee!

‐ Hi, Simon! ‐ Hey, buddy.

Hello, monster‐sitters.

Hi, Grammy Swoozle.

Happy Grandmonster's Day.

Oh, why thank you.

Simey and I are celebrating

as soon as I get back from teaching my acting class.

Did you know that Grammy used to be a star?

Oh, well, not a star exactly‐‐

I was just in a few movies, TV shows, plays...

operas, and a‐‐ ooh!

And a toothpaste commercial.

♪ Rain or shine, day or night ♪

♪ We'll keep your fangs looking pearly white ♪

( all giggle )

Don't you just love monsters?

OK, my Simey, I'll be back soon.

‐ Bye Grammy. ‐ See you later.

Love you.

I can't wait till Grammy comes back

and sees her Grandmonster's Day present.

Ooh! What is it?

I don't know.

I was hoping you could help me figure that out.

Of course we can.

That's what monster‐sitters are for.

I need to give Grammy something really special

to show how much I love her.

Well, I'm no grandmonster,

but my favorite gifts are the ones you can eat.

( all giggle )

( gasps ) I know!

( inquisitive growl )

We can make a Swoozle‐streusel. It's Grammy's favorite dessert.

Oh. Good idea, Simon.

One for you, one for you,

one for me, and one for Willy.

( panting )

I'll get the ingredients.

OK, we need monster eggs...

You got it! Yup!

‐ Simon: Flour... ‐ Yep.

Simon: And Swoozle‐berries.

Got 'em. Now what?

Now we mix them all together.

‐ I'll put in the berries. ‐ I've got the flour.

Don't forget the eggs!

Wait. I think we need some more Swoozle‐berries

to make it extra special.

‐ Yep! ‐ Ooh!

And there's some bubbly baking soda!

Let's add that, too.

( gasps ) And some springy sprinkles

will make it really pretty!

Simon, are you sure you wanna add all that stuff?

It's not in the recipe.

Of course I'm sure!

How else am I going to make this Swoozle‐streusel

as special as Grammy?

The little monster's got a point.

OK, it's time to bake this streusel.

( humming )

And now, we wait.

( gurgling )

Uh, Simon, do Swoozle‐streusels usually sound like that?

Um, I'm not sure.

Maybe we should check on it.

‐ ( timer dings ) ‐ ( Roy humming )

Hmm.

Simon, do Swoozle‐streusels usually look like that?

I don't think so.

Well, let's see if it's done.

( all gasp )

Quick, catch that streusel!

( all shouting )

‐ Get it! ‐ Simon!

Do Swoozle‐streusels usually fly away like that?

‐ ( Willy barking ) ‐ Definitely not.

I did not see that one coming.

This is not good. Not good at all.

It's OK, Simon.

We'll figure out something else

you can make for Grandmonster's Day.

Hey, you're a great artist.

Maybe you can make art for Grammy.

Oh, yeah. I can make a big sculpture.

Come on!

OK. I'm gonna need a lot of play goo.

Then you're in luck.

( whistles )

‐ Ta‐da! ‐ Hmm. Is that all you have?

All we have?

You mean... you need more?

Uh‐huh. If this statue's

gonna be special enough for Grammy,

it needs to be really big.

Some more here, ooh‐‐ uh,

a little more there...

( sighs )

Simon, your sculpture looks great,

but don't you think it's big enough?

Almost. Just need to add this racket. Aah!

( Esme and Roy gasp )

‐ Look out! ‐ I can catch it!

I can catch it!

Did I catch it?

Sort of? ( grunts )

Oh, no! My sculpture!

It's OK, Simon. We can fix it.

‐ ( whizzing ) ‐ ( barks )

Uh‐oh.

Uh... we can still fix it.

Or not...

( crying ) Every present I make gets ruined!

( sniffles ) Grammy will be home soon,

and I have nothing to give her.

( sniffling ) This is going to be

the worst Grandmonster's Day ever!

( crying )

Uh‐oh. Monster‐meltdown!

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

♪ Take a deep breath, put your hands on your tummy ♪

♪ Feel your belly rise and fall ♪

( breathes deeply )

♪ In through your nose, out through your mouth ♪

♪ It's not hard at all ♪

Don't worry, Simon. We'll think of something special

to make for Grandmonster's Day.

I hope so. ( sniffles ) I just love my Grammy so much.

If they gave an award for best Grammy ever,

she'd win hands down.

( gasps ) Wait a monster‐minute. That's it!

Maybe you can give Grammy an award

for being the best Grammy ever.

( gasps ) Yeah.

We can make an awards show

for Grammy Swoozle!

Ooh! How about we call it,

"The Grammy Swoozle Awards Show"?

‐ Catchy title. ‐ Then get ready, guys.

It's playtime.

( monster‐case whirring )

Thanks, Esme.

Here she comes.

Places, everyone.

Ooh! Well, well, well. What's going on here?

Right this way to the first annual Grammy Swoozle Awards.

Grammy Swoozle Awards?

What a‐‐ ( stuttering ) Oh, but what will I wear?

I know just the thing.

Oh, thank you, Roy.

Shall we?

Happy Grandmonster's Day,

Grammy!

( gasps ) Simon,

you made all of this for me?

Mm‐hmm. Because, Grammy...

Grammy, would you like to say a few words?

Why, yes I would!

This is truly an honor.

I'd like to thank the monster‐sitters,

but most of all, I'd like to thank my Simey.

I am very lucky to be your Grammy.

( chuckles )

This is the best Grandmonster's Day ever.

( Willy barking )

Gotcha!

All: Whoa.

And the award for best streusel catcher

goes to... Grammy!

Now come here, you three.

( all laugh )

Esme: Making the Grammy Swoozle Awards

was the perfect way to celebrate Grandmonster's Day.

It sure was, but there's still one more award to give out.

( drumroll playing )

The award for best monster‐sitter goes to...

Esme!

( giggles )

Thank you. Thank you.

I'd like to share this award with my best buddy

and monster‐sitting partner, Roy!

You like me. You really like me!

( giggles )

Esme: "Monster Bash Surprise."

Arr. Dumpling, what do you think of me costume?

( squeaking )

Aw, glad you like it.

Roy, are you almost done with your costume?

Yup! Introducing Chef Roy!

Meatballs are my specialty.

Ahh. Meatballs.

( giggles ) I love it!

Just try not to eat your costume

before we get to the Monster Bash, OK?

Oh, OK. I can't wait to go to the Monster Bash.

It's my favorite party of the year.

I love dressing up and surprising people.

Surprise!

‐ Did I surprise you? ‐ Um...

‐ ( squeaks ) ‐ Aah!

Good one, Dumpling.

‐ ( squeaking ) ‐ You got me!

( monster‐case playing music )

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

( music continues )

Fig and Hugo are coming over!

And we're taking them to the Monster Bash!

‐ ( munching ) ‐ Roy...

You ate your costume, didn't you?

Just the meatballs.

‐ ( doorbell rings ) ‐ Both: They're here!

Hello?

‐ Aah! ‐ Da da da da!

Did I surprise you, Roy?

You sure did!

Hi, monster‐sitters.

Hi, Miss Azooga. Hey, Fig.

Hi, hi!

Figgles, are you excited for the big Monster Bash?

Uh‐huh. Surprise!

Whoa!

Good surprise!

But where's your costume?

Ooh, I've got it right here.

‐ Esme: Nice! ‐ Roy: Ooh.

Fig be star!

Aw, you'll make a great star.

Well, I'm on my way to the park to set up for the party.

Think you could bring the kids over

once Fig's in her costume?

Of course. We'll see you at the Monster Bash.

We might even surprise you.

Surprise!

( giggles ) Nice try, Roy.

See ya there.

‐ See ya later. ‐ Hugo: See you later.

‐ Bye, Miss Azooga. ‐ Bye, Mommy.

OK, Figgles, Let's get you in this costume.

OK.

Fig star!

Fig star! ( giggles )

And now you're a shooting star!

‐ ( making whooshing sounds ) ‐ Whee!

( giggles ) Don't you just love monsters?

OK, Fig put her costume on.

Can we go now?

Ready spaghetti!

Let's do it!

Hey, look, it's Tilly.

Esme: Aw, Tilly makes such a cute cowgirl,

doesn't she, Fig?

‐ ( Fig giggles ) ‐ Fig?

‐ There. ‐ Figgles!

Why'd you take your costume off?

Fig be cowgirl!

A cowgirl? But you were such a great star.

Yeah, you were so... twinkly.

Fig no be star. Fig be cowgirl.

OK, Fig, if you really wanna be a cowgirl,

we can change your costume.

But let's do it fast.

Yeah, we don't wanna be late for the Monster Bash.

( whistles )

( monster‐case whirring )

Here you go.

A cowgirl costume just for you.

Oooh.

Thanks!

Fig cowgirl!

‐ Whoo‐hoo, Figgles! ‐ Yee‐haw!

Look at you go!

And now it's time for us to go.

No.

( giggles ) Ooh! Fig be robot.

( gasps ) Fig be fairy!

( gasps ) Firefighter!

Fig be superhero.

Fig be ballerina.

Hold on a second, Figgles.

Don't you wanna be a cowgirl?

You get to ride a pony and say, "Yee‐haw!"

Fig no yee‐haw. Fig dance!

( gasps ) Fig be witch!

There are lots of great costumes, Fig,

but you need to pick one so we can go to the party.

Fig pick... this one!

Or this one.

Maybe this one?

Hmm. Fig not sure.

Maybe if Fig tries the costumes on,

it'll help her decide which one she wants to be.

( gasps ) And you know the best way to try on lots of outfits.

Both: Fashion show!

( giggles )

Esme: Fig is looking fab in her firefighter getup

complete with soda bottle fire extinguisher.

( giggles )

A classy costume for a classy monster.

( camera shutter clicks )

And talk about super...

Fig makes a stunning superhero

dressed in a paper headband and cape.

We're seeing a big comeback for capes

at this year's Monster Bash.

Fantastic Figgles to the rescue!

( camera shutter clicks )

Esme: Extraordinary toe‐work from our young ballerina

as she pliés down the runway in a picture perfect tutu.

( camera shutter clicks )

( camera shutter clicks )

You know, Esme, there's something

bewitching about this look.

Personally, I find it spellbinding.

( giggles )

( camera shutter clicks )

Esme: Fairies are a crowd favorite at the Monster Bash,

and this one sure knows how to make

a fluttering entrance.

( camera shutter clicks )

OK, Fig, fashion show's over.

So, which costume do you wanna wear?

Do you wanna be the fairy or the ballerina?

If it were me, I'd go with the firefighter.

But that's just one monster's opinion.

Fig be... Fig be...

Fig: Firefighter!

Whoo‐hoo! Did I ever tell you you have great taste?

Or ballerina or superhero or taco! Fig be taco.

Do we even have a taco costume?

Fig, you can be any of these costumes.

You just have to choose one.

Hmm... ballerina!

Or star! Or cowgirl! Or witch!

Fig can't choose! Fig can't choose!

Uh‐oh. Monster‐meltdown!

‐ ( whimpers ) ‐ I know it's hard, Fig,

but I've got something that'll help.

Here. Give this glitter jar a shake.

Look, Figgles, you can be any of these costumes.

Hugo: Think you can pick one?

( sighs ) OK. Fig try.

This one? No.

Maybe this one.

( whispering ) Esme, we have to get Fig

to pick a costume, or we're gonna miss

the Monster Bash!

Fig loves all the costumes.

She'll never be able to choose.

( gasps ) Wait a monster minute!

That's it!

What if Fig doesn't have to choose a costume?

Maybe she can be everything all at once.

Hey, Fig, how would you like to be a costume designer

and make your own costume?

Hmm...

You can use your imagination

and combine whatever pieces you want.
