(CLEARS THROAT) I'm the very important
CEO of Fear Co., Johnny Worthington,
and I want you, Tylor Tuskmon, to join me.
Nice monocle, Mr. Worthington.
I demand an answer.
Oh, right. Uh... (CLEARS THROAT)
Mr. Worthington, I appreciate the opportunity,
but I have to turn your job offer down.
(GASPS) Turn me down?
- All right, I... - (BAWLING)
TYLOR: That's... That's a lot now.
And scene.
- That felt good, but I have some notes. - Okay.
You might want to explain why you're turning it down.
Friendship with Val, never leaving Val behind...
Sure. Sure.
Basically anything Val-related works.
Do I really need to do that?
Yes, Tylor. Some people get clingy.
I got this.
I'll just pop over to Fear Co. at lunch to return Johnny's Scare Card,
and then gently turn down his job offer.
You promise?
(CHUCKLES) I promise.
(LAUGHS)
Work buds forever! (EXCLAIMS)
- (YELPS) - Uh... Val?
(GULPS) I swallowed my monocle.
(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)
(HUMMING TUNE)
(CREATURE CROAKS)
Huh?
Where's Katherine?
(GASPS)
(YELPS)
(WHIMPERS)
Listen, we don't want any trouble.
Please take a Drooler Cooler and just mosey on out of here.
(SPUTTERS) Terribly sorry, frightening stranger.
There's no one named Katherine around here.
I don't go by that name anymore, and you know it,
Susie Sunshine.
It's just Sunny now.
Your Receiving Station kind ain't welcome around these MIFT parts.
(GROWLS)
Mmm.
Your new big canister is leaking.
It says it's full, but when I check it,
- it's only 80%. - (BEEPS)
My cans don't leak.
I suggest you recheck your work.
(BOTH GROWL)
Now, ladies, I'm sure this can be settled with words.
- (GRUNTS) - Company protocol states
you have to check your equipment to rule out malfunctions.
I'd think you'd be more familiar
with the safety protocols you helped me write.
You know what? Whosever mistake it was
has to apologize to the other.
Oh, if we're doling out apologies,
maybe I'll finally get one for the incident.
I'm starting to think this isn't just about the canister.
Much like our relationship,
you're going down in flames.
It's on.
- It's on. - It's on.
Oh, it's on!
I'll be back later for that apology, Katherine.
(SNICKERS)
Is it safe to come out?
Did Sunny, the frightening, yet ironically-named lady leave?
(GROANS) Good riddance.
I'll check this canister to make sure there's no leaks
so I finally get that apology Sunny owes me.
Okay. And while you do that,
the rest of us will head up to the Laugh Floor
to make sure that none of the equipment is causing the leak.
Oh, and I'll track it on this handy checklist.
These empty boxes are just hankering for a check.
(SINGING) So, we're off to find the leaks
Those cheeky, leaky leaks
We'll look under chairs and up the stairs
We'll even check our underwear
We're off to find the leaks
BOTH: Those pesky, cheeky leaks
(LAUGHING, GIGGLING)
Right.
(GROANS)
(CHUCKLES)
Bingo. I just did six solid minutes on a kid's pet goldfish.
All ad-lib. You know, I'm at the point where I'm surprising myself.
(GRUNTING, WHIMPERS)
(SIGHS)
Don't worry, you'll get more laughs.
It's not even lunch yet.
- (BUZZER SOUNDS) - CELIA: That's lunch.
- Oh... Hmm. - (SIGHS)
Hey, do you mind if I use your scooter to pop over to Fear Co.?
Of course. But do you want me to go with you for mor-Val support?
No, no, no, don't... Don't worry about it. I won't be long.
I'll be back at 1:00 on the dot.
- (GASPS) - Tylor, come join us
on our magical journey to check for leaks.
(LAUGHS) Oh, can you believe we get paid for this?
We're checking to make sure there are no leaky leaks anywhere.
Oh, okay, great. Well, I'm off.
Where you running to, college boy?
To lunch because it's lunch.
And where, exactly, might that be?
Sneezecake Factory? Lou Mal-snotty's?
(DEVICE BEEPING)
(FRITZ VOCALIZING)
Okay.
All the equipment is good here.
No leaky leaks.
(SINGING) Leaks, leaks, leaks
Still looking for those leaks
Singing.
Those cheeky, sneaky, creaky, peaky
Nasty little leaks
- We'll look on every floor - And open every door
And top to bottom Inside out
Until there's Not a single doubt
We're gonna find the leaks
ALL: Those cheeky, leaky leaks
(CHUCKLING)
Fear Co. How can I help you?
Please hold.
Hi. Welcome to Fear Co.
Hi. Uh, how are you?
So, I know he's super busy,
but, um, I have a very a personal item to return to Mr. Johnny...
CHET: Okay, you have the commercial shoot at 2:00.
But I told them that you will arrive camera-ready.
- Yeah. Uh-huh. - (CHUCKLES) You always look great.
TYLOR: Mr. Worthington.
Oh. Tylor?
TYLOR: Uh, hi. Hello. (CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)
Uh, about last night...
Thank you for dinner, by the way.
But I... I came here because you
forgot your dad's Scare Card at the restaurant.
Oh. (CHUCKLES) Wow. Thanks.
I cannot believe I did that.
You know, uh, you came all this way.
Let me show you around.
Oh, uh, well, I... you know, actually, I...
Yeah, you got a full schedule.
Photo shoot. Sales presentat...
Don't worry. I'll make it quick.
Chet, hold all my calls.
Okay. Well, been here 10 years, never got a tour.
But you two guys have fun.
ROGER: (SINGING) Still looking for the leaks
Those cheeky, cheeky leaks
Found nothing in the holding pen
BOTH: But just to be sure I checked again
So color in my checklist once again
We're just meant to think there's no leaky leaks
By some diabolical saboteur
(GROANS) God,
you've got me singing.
And it doesn't even rhyme.
Yeah, but a saboteur would still need a key to get in here.
- Oh, yeah, you need the key. - (GASPS)
Anyone else have a copy of this key?
Oh. Oh. I have one. It's right here.
Uh, it was here.
Look, I had them all while you were at the CREEP show,
but I returned them promptly, like this.
Clink.
Someone must have borrowed it, then.
Or stole it.
It could be any of us, really.
Yeah, it could be.
Ah. So, you're saying it could be you behind this leak, huh?
No. He's just saying he's a possible option.
Anything else you want to confess?
(WHIMPERS) I'm not a real orthodontist.
What?
- (RASPING NEARBY) - Huh?
(ALL WHIMPERING)
(CREATURE GROWLING)
- (SCREAMS) - (YELPING)
What a surprising and frightening entrance.
My second heart is beating so fast.
Did Katherine send you guys to spy on me?
- (OTHERS GASP) - Oh, no. Relax.
We're just checking the equipment for leaky leaks.
Please don't kill me.
Oh, well, in that case, follow me. (CHUCKLES)
I'll show you my little part of the world.
There's a lot of live wires around here, so don't lick 'em. (LAUGHS)
Edward learned that lesson.
I miss him.
Come on. (SCATTING)
TYLOR: Wow, you have so much space.
JOHNNY: Notice how the offices are all glass.
We value transparency here at Fear Co. And also glass.
(BOTH CHUCKLE)
Hey, welcome back, Ethan.
ETHAN: Hey, how you doing, Mr. W?
- Hey there, Brian. - BRIAN: Hey, boss.
There's our nap pods. Good morning, Jane.
- (YAWNS) - JOHNNY: And our daycare.
I really want work to feel like home, you know?
- WOMAN: What do we do? - (KIDS GROWL)
JOHNNY: And here in the R&D lab,
our scientists are hard at work on Fear Co.'s
game-changing scream amplifier.
Oh, yeah, I heard you mention that at the CREEP show.
Relax, Colleen.
(CHUCKLES) Don't mind her.
She's overly protective of all her stuff.
(GASPS)
And this is the Receiving Station,
where the laughs are pulled before going to the refinery.
The Monsters Inc. automated canister draining system?
It's beautiful, isn't it?
How does it work, exactly? That's what you're wondering?
I'll tell you right now.
Well, first, we have to attach a full laugh canister cart.
Then we input the correct grid code.
(KEYPAD BEEPING)
- (CHUCKLES) - (GRUNTS)
SUNNY: Now, it's alive!
It's alive! (LAUGHS)
Whoa!
SUNNY: I could listen to the sweet sounds
of those canisters draining all day.
The energy is drained from the canister into...
...the Receiving Station's containment tanks.
Yep. And then, that pooled energy is released through the pipeline
- over to... - The refinery, for speedy processing.
(HISSES) Where the refined gigglewatts...
The gigglewatts...
BOTH: Are safely sent...
- ...to... - ...to...
- Oh, just finish it. - (GASPS)
The gigglewatts are safely sent to Monsters Inc. customers
to power their homes. (GIGGLES)
And you know all of this because...
Oh. Well, what can I say?
I'm just a huge fan of Receiving Stations.
- Smiles. - (GROANS)
And this is where the magic happens. And by magic,
I mean screams. Lots of them.
- You hear that? - (FAINT SCREAMING)
- (LOUD SCREAMING) - (GASPS) The Scare Floor.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Sorry. Official Scarers only.
Hopefully, that'll be you soon, huh?
- The leaderboard. - (CHUCKLES)
I kind of miss that.
Well, of course you do. It's good to be acknowledged for your talent.
(CHUCKLES) You really scared 'em good this time, Joy.
(CHUCKLES) Thanks, Kenny. All in a day's work.
Way to go, Joy.
She's been at the top of our leaderboard for, what is it, five weeks?
Six. I think it might be a record.
If Tylor here joins us, you may not be number one for very long.
Me? No, no, no. Come on.
A Monsters' U legend? (CHUCKLES)
I would be honored to scare beside you.
(CHUCKLES)
Maybe later. Come on, let's go.
ROGER: (SINGING) We never found those leaks, you see
A failed mission, unfortunately
And all my boxes have been checked
Something else I do suspect
But we never found the leaks
ALL: The cheeky, leaky leaks
I knew I was right.
There wasn't a problem with my equipment.
Someone is still gonna have to tell Cutter.
That the leak is her fault? I'll do it.
(BUZZER SOUNDS)
VAL: See you later, Kay.
(MUNCHING) Hey, Tylor.
I have some leftover Barf-allo wings, if you want them.
(GULPS) Uh...
Come on, Tylor. You should be here by now.
HAZEL: All right, all right. Dashiell, your macchiato.
Addie, your hisspresso.
(GASPS) Changed your hair. Ooh, love it.
WOMAN: Oh, thank you.
And for our honored guests here,
your extra large pepperstink mocha.
Ah, thank you.
Oh, look at that. You actually spelled my name right.
That never happens.
Mmm.
This place is amazing.
I mean, it's all just so different here.
I mean, there's so much space.
I haven't even hit my horns on anything.
Hey, Claire Worthington! Senior vice president of marketing,
and my heart.
(SIGHS) Done with work for the day.
My evening as kid-chauffeur begins.
Off to get Lorelei to roller derby and J.J. to singing lessons.
And apparently, he's a baritone.
(SCATTING)
I don't see it.
Kids, say hello to one of the best roarers
your dad's ever heard and won't stop talking about.
Even when I'm trying to meditate.
Oh, hey, it's Mr. Fish and Ships.
- (GULPS) - Is your roar better than your jokes?
Ha. Good one.
Uh, well, you know, I mean,
(SPUTTERS) I guess I could... I could give it a shot.
This will be good.
(INHALES)
(ROARING LOUDLY)
(MONSTERS GASPING)
- Whoa, I goo'd myself. (CHUCKLES) - (APPLAUSE IN BACKGROUND)
(EXCLAIMS) That almost made me feel something.
- Hah! - Not too shabby.
ROSIE: (GASPS) Tylor?
Tylor Tuskmon?
Rosie?
All right, everyone.
We need a good work shift to get those gigglewatts up.
Val, get those donuts ready for Tylor.
I'm on it. And here comes Tylor now.
Tylor, I got everything ready for you
while you were definitely in the bathroom and not somewhere else.
So, you're here at Fear Co. now?
Am I here now? No. No, no.
Well, you know, I am here now, yes. (CHUCKLES)
But I'm not here now.
Please don't tell anyone back at Monsters, Inc. I was here.
- Don't worry about it. - (SIGHS IN RELIEF) Thanks.
Since I left Monsters, Inc., I haven't really
- kept in touch with anyone. - Oh. Yeah.
You know, I gave the jokester thing a try,
but at the end of the day, I had to look in the mirror.
And ask yourself the hard questions?
No, I literally looked in the mirror and saw a big, scary monster.
Scaring is what I was made to do.
You can't escape who you are, so just embrace it.
(SIGHS)
So, do you like it here?
Yeah. I've only been here a couple of weeks.
But I'm happy. Can't you tell?
(CLEARS THROAT) Yes. Well, um, yeah, you're glowing. (CHUCKLES)
(GASPS) What's Duncan doing here?
Yeah, no, that's not Duncan.
- That's Declan. - Declan?
Declan, come here!
Rosie, my love.
I want you to meet Tylor.
He's a Monster University alum and former Scream King. So...
College boy, eh? I greatly appreciate your post-secondary education.
A big proponent of that.
Declan here just got promoted to Scare Floor deputy supervisor.
We're all jealous of him.
Oh, I'm not one for titles.
I just live every day asking, "How can I be of service to others?"
I just wanted to make my father proud.
Definitely not Duncan.
CELIA: Let's go, monsters.
Put some more pep in your comedy steps.
We need to fill those canisters now!
(SIGHS) All right, all right, all right.
Val, Tylor will be here any minute and it'll all be fine.
Excuse me, Val. You best tell Tylor to hurry up
or find somebody else to get some laughs. (CHUCKLES)
I guess "somebody" is me.
Okay. I'll just glance at who we've got here.
Name, unknown.
Likes... stuff?
Sense of humor... "It's all subjective"?
Who wrote this?
(EXHALES)
You're right, sticker. I can do it.
They wouldn't put it on a sticker if it weren't true.
(HUMMING)
(GASPS)
(WHIMPERS)
(GROANS SOFTLY)
Uh, hi.
Donuts?
Yes. Yes, they are.
Would you like one?
Yeah. (CHUCKLES)
You seem like the chocolate-glazed type.
(LAUGHS)
May I sit next to you?
Mmm-hmm.
What's your name?
I'm Avani.
I love your name, Avani. I'm Val.
Nice to meet you.
Hi, Val.
(VAL GASPS)
VAL: You like toads, too?
Yeah, I love them.
This is Wartso.
Oh, hello, Wartso.
(GASPS) I'm Thaddeus Rexford, with my short little arms.
Short arms are just as good as long arms.
Trust me, I know.
(LAUGHS)
(GASPS) Would Wartso like to accompany
Thaddeus Rexford to a rainbow dance party?
Yes, please.
(SCATTING)
Oh, here comes Wartso, hopping over the rainbow.
(GASPS) Oh, look. Here comes Thaddeus Rex.
(SCATTING)
(ROARS)
Oh, no, wait, they just want to hug it out!
(GROWLS)
- I love you. I love you. - (LAUGHING)
(BOTH GROWL)
Check out these insane dance moves.
(VOCALIZING)
TYLOR: Your office is (CHUCKLES) incredible.
I mean, this couch? Wow.
You know, our couch at home reclines, too.
But that's just because the springs are broken.
So, let's cut right to it.
What are you thinking about the job offer?
Uh... (CLEARS THROAT) Yes. Well, okay.
- Yes. Mr. Worthington. - Call me Johnny.
Yes, J... Sorry. Johnny. Johnny. (CHUCKLES)
Um, I... Look, I appreciate the opportunity.
Um, I am sorry, (SPUTTERS) but I have to say...
no.
Well, that was convincing.
I mean, this is obviously a great opportunity,
but I just don't think that I can...
- (GRUNTS) Okay. - ...leave Monsters, Inc.
All right, I respect your decision.
You're a good kid. I'm sorry if I put you in an awkward position.
No, not at all.
- Chet. - (YELPS) I wasn't listening at the door.
I came in because you buzzed for me and I'm attentive.
I'll send in your 1:00.
Wait, it's past 1:00?
Uh, I gotta go.
Um, thanks for the tour.
Um... Oh, and thanks for the job offer, too, obviously.
Uh, bye.
Geez, somebody's really desperate for attention, huh?
- VAL: Goodbye, Avani. - (AVANI LAUGHS)
Bye, Thaddeus Rex. Bye, Wartso.
Good night.
(CANISTER TRILLS)
(GASPS, LAUGHING)
Wow. Good job, Tylor.
You sure earned yourself another bathroom break.
I guess I'll see you when you get back.
Hmm.
Ooh.
I'm so, so sorry. But I'm back.
From the bathroom where you went for an extra-long period of time.
Yes. Yes. The bathroom was where I was.
Yes, we all understand you have a tiny bladder.
Thank you.
How'd it go at you-know-where?
Well, I looked Johnny right in the eye,
and I firmly said, "Johnny..."
You called him Johnny?
Oh, yeah, we have a whole dynamic.
I said, "Johnny, I appreciate the opportunity,
"but I have to turn your job offer down."
"Because of my friendship with Val."
- Implied, but yes. - Ah, I knew rehearsing was a good idea.
Wow. What? The canister's full.
Yeah. So, please don't be mad,
but you were so late and I couldn't stall anymore,
- and I had to fill in... - You filled it yourself?
...and I totally struggled. I don't know how you do it.
Wait, wait, wait... You filled that yourself?
I got a couple chuckles. I wouldn't call them chuckles.
They were more like chucks. Tiny little chucks.
And it was a total fluke. So exhausting.
Definitely never doing that again, I promise.
- CELIA: Well, look at that. - TYLOR: Oh.
Tylor, you filled a whole canister today?
- Way to step it up. - Oh.
- (SPUTTERS) - Well, we had some great teamwork today.
Yeah, great teamwork.
Well, keep it up, you two.
As for the rest of you, get it together!
(LAUGHS)
Huh?
Hey, Roze, where's the sugar?
Did you use it all?
You think I'd have a body like this if I ate sugar?
I am not answering that.
Hey, Val, was that you I saw coming out of a kid's door earlier?
Huh? Oh. Oh, no. No, no, no. That was not me.
- I'm really impressed. - But...
You filled that giant canister with just one little kid.
You're a natural. You ever consider being a jokester?
- No. - Well, you should.
(SLURPS, SPITS)
(GRUNTS) Roze, I can't drink this without sugar.
Can you please call someone?
The sugar police?
Yes, Roze. The sugar police.
I'd like you to call the sugar police.
That would be so sweet of you.
(CHUCKLES)
SUNNY: Well, no leaks on my end.
Read it and weep from all three of your unloving eyes.
Apology, please.
No leaks on my end, either.
(BOTH GROWLING)
FRITZ: (SINGING) It really is a mystery
ROGER: Our cheeky, leaky history
DUNCAN: A mystery indeed
(GASPS, LAUGHS)
Looks like we found our leaky leak.
(GROWLS)
(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)
(DIAL TONE)

(PHONE RINGING)
CHET: (IN ROBOTIC VOICE) Sorry, I am not available right now.
(IN NORMAL VOICE) Just kidding. I'm not a robot. It's me, Chet.
I'm probably helping my buddy, Johnny, right now,
so please leave a message and I'll get right back to you.
(ANSWERING MACHINE BEEPS)
CHET: Hey, Chet. This is your best buddy, Chet.
You had a tough day again, pal, but hold your head up high.
Your time will come.
The day Johnny recognizes you and says something nice, like, "Good work, C."
And he'll call you "C" because, you know,
that's how close you guys will be by then.
All right, well, talk to you tomorrow. Remember to buy some rot dogs.
- We're out. - (PHONE CLICKS)
