Check it out, Roy.

Esme: That cloud kind of looks like a horse.

Oh, yeah, and that one looks like...

a meatball.

Hey! That one looks like a meatball, too.

( gasps and smacks lips )

And that one looks like a really big meatball!

Roy, are you hungry?

Hmm. Now that you mention it‐‐

( swallows ) Mmm. Meatball.

‐ ( music playing ) ‐ ( both gasp )

We've got a monster to watch.

Yay! Today we're watching Snuggs!

Yes.

( machine whirring )

( honking )

All right.

‐ Let's go. ‐ Whoo‐hoo.

( honking )

Roy: Hello.

Ooh, I can't wait to see Snuggs.

( doorbell rings )

That little puff of fluff.

He gives the best hugs.

‐ Hey. ‐ After you, of course.

Roy, Esme.

Good to see you again.

Snuggs was just asking when you were coming.

Right, Snuggs? Snuggs?

Esme: ( giggles ) Here he is.

I love you, Esme.

Aww. Don't you just love monsters?

( Snuggs and Roy giggling )

‐ Come on, Roy. ‐ Coming.

( Snuggs giggles )

OK, you two know the drill.

Just make yourselves at home.

( rain pattering against glass )

Oh, dear. It's raining.

I hope it doesn't thunder.

Snuggs is a little scared of thunder.

Don't worry, Miss Muzzywump.

We've got everything under control.

Yeah, we're the monster‐sitters.

Ha‐cha‐cha‐cha.

OK, bye now.

‐ Bye. See you soon. ‐ Bye‐bye now.

Up, Roy.

Aww, you want me to pick you up?

Come here, buddy.

Cuddle.

Whoa‐ee! Those are some strong cuddles.

Hmm. It's getting stormier.

I hope there's no thunder

to scare Snuggs.

Me, too.

You know what happens to Muzzywump monsters

when they get scared, right?

Hmm. Let me guess.

They glow in the dark?

No.

They make a face like this?

( giggles ) No.

Huh.

( gasps ) I don't like thunder.

I don't like thunder.

Roy: ( grunts ) Oh.

Oh, I know. They glow in the dark.

No, I guessed that already.

Hmm... Aah!

I don't like thunder. I don't like thunder.

What happened to Snuggs?

Monster fact 32‐‐ Muzzywump monsters

puff up when they're scared.

( gasps ) Poor little Snuggs.

Did the loud thunder scare you?

( sniffling ) Mm‐hmm.

Then let's hope there isn't any more thunder.

I don't like thunder.

‐ I don't like thunder. ‐ Uh‐oh.

Esme, what do we do?

What do we do?

( Roy grunts )

( Snuggs whimpering )

There's got to be something that'll distract Snuggs

from the thunder.

Hmm. This sounds like a job for the monster case.

( whistles )

( thunder )

♪ Don't listen to that thunder ♪

Hello.

♪ Now look over here ♪

♪ Do you like my singing? ♪

♪ Mi mi mi, mi mi mi ♪

Too much?

♪ Don't listen to that thunder ♪

♪ No, don't even look ♪

Wait a minute, Snuggs. Do you want to read a book?

I love reading books.

Will you read, Esme, and do all the voices?

Sure, I will.

Now, what should we read?

Hmm. A book about worms?

A book about space?

A book about worms in space?

This one is my favorite.

( chuckles )

Esme: "The Brave Knight."

Good choice.

OK, just squeeze over a little‐‐ there we go.

( all giggling )

Once upon a time, there was a brave knight.

Ooh.

"It is I, Sir Fuzzalot."

( giggles )

See his castle? It's so big.

All is well in Sir Fuzzalot's kingdom,

until one day‐‐

a dragon came to town.

A dragon?

Oh, no. What's gonna happen to the knight?

( giggles )

He'll be OK, Roy.

Knights are brave.

That's right.

Esme: The knight was brave.

He wasn't scared of the dragon,

not even a little.

"Nothing scares me except for pickles.

Why are they so green and slimy?"

( giggles )

Esme, did the knight really say that?

OK. I might have added that part.

( giggles )

Psst. It's working.

Reading the book is calming him down.

( thunder )

I don't like thunder. I don't like thunder.

Uh‐oh.

‐ Whoa! ‐ Roy: Oh‐ho! Oh.

Poor Snuggs.

What are we going to do, Roy?

Uh, Roy?

Down here.

‐ Oh, heh. ‐ ( strained grunting )

Much better.

‐ ( Snuggs whimpering ) ‐ There, there, little guy‐‐

I mean big guy.

( whimpering )

The storm is getting worse.

We've got to find a way to distract Snuggs,

or he'll keep getting bigger.

Ooh. Maybe I can do that tap dancing routine

I've been working on.

Let's see. I'll need a spotlight,

sequined pants‐‐ oh, and tap shoes.

Do you have size 85?

‐ ( thunder ) ‐ ( whimpering )

That's not good.

I don't like thunder. I don't like thunder.

I don't like thunder!

Esme: Uh‐oh.

Monster meltdown.

Come on, Roy.

( whimpering )

I know you're scared of thunder, Snuggs,

but you're safe in here with us.

♪ Take a deep breath and count to three ♪

( all exhale )

One, two, three.

♪ Now listen carefully and repeat after me ♪

I am Snuggs, and I am brave.

I am Snuggs and I am brave.

I am Snuggs and I am brave.

I am Snuggs and I am brave!

♪ There we are ♪

♪ Nice and calm ♪

♪ Now we can move on ♪

( Snuggs exhales )

Great job, Snuggs.

Keep going. I'll be right back.

I am Snuggs‐‐

‐ Roy. Monster huddle. ‐ ...and I am brave.

Snuggs is still scared,

and the storm is getting worse.

Hmm. I wish we could make Snuggs

feel as brave as this knight.

He wasn't even afraid of a dragon.

Brave like a knight... ( gasps )

Wait a monster‐minute. That's it.

Maybe if Snuggs pretends to be a brave knight,

he won't feel so scared.

Oh. Do you want to pretend to be a brave knight?

Can we build a castle, too?

You know it.

Get ready, guys. It's playtime.

( whistles )

‐ This way, Roy. This way! ‐ This way?

Esme: No, that way!

‐ That way! ‐ ( Snuggs giggling )

More pillows!

( Snuggs giggling )

♪ Ta‐da! ♪

Aah! ( grunts )

( all laughing )

Whoa!

( laughing )

( giggling )

( laughing )

( laughing )

We can use this bowl for a helmet.

And we can use this banana for,

well, a banana.

Knights get hungry, too, you know.

( all laughing )

‐ This is my shield. ‐ A book for a shield?

‐ Great idea. ‐ ( both laughing )

Yeah.

( all cheering )

Now that's what I call a castle.

Right, Roy?

‐ Hmm. ‐ Roy?

‐ Roy? ‐ Roy?

Don't you mean... "Dragon Roy?"

Roar. Roar.

Come on, Knight Snuggs, we have to protect

our castle from the dragon.

( giggles ) Here I come.

( thunder )

( gasps ) I don't like thunder.

( whimpers )

Remember, Snuggs, you're a brave knight.

I am Knight Snuggs, and I am brave.

Besides, that's not thunder.

It's just a big, silly dragon roaring.

( thunder )

Roar. Roar!

No thunder here‐‐ just old Roy the dragon.

Roar. Roar.

I'm Knight Snuggs, and I am brave.

Stay away from our castle, dragon.

You don't scare us.

I know how we can keep the dragon away.

Tickle him.

‐ Get him! Charge! ‐ Yeah! ( laughs )

‐ Get him! ‐ ( laughing )

That tickles. That tickles.

Roar.

( all laughing )

Oh, the tummy tickles get me every time,

every time.

I give up. I give up.

You're too brave for me.

‐ Hooray. ‐ Whoo‐hoo.

Huzzah. We got the dragon!

Snuggs? Snuggs, honey?

I came back as soon as I could.

I know how scared you get when there's loud thunder.

Mom, there's no thunder.

That's just Dragon Roy.

And I'm not scared of a silly dragon.

I'm Knight Snuggs, and I am brave.

Oh, my!

‐ ( thunder ) ‐ ( Snuggs gasps )

The dragon is back.

Charge!

‐ ( all laughing ) ‐ Oh, that tickles.

‐ That tickles. ‐ Oh!

Esme: Oh, I miss that little Snuggs already.

Pretending to be a knight made him feel so brave.

I know. Pretending to be a dragon

made me feel brave, too.

Just try and scare me‐‐

‐ Boo. ‐ Not scary.

Boogedy‐woogedy‐woogedy.

( Roy yawns )

Huh. You are brave.

Oh, I meant to tell you. We're all out of meatballs.

( gasps ) What?

Gotcha.

( both laughing )

Esme: "Two Can Play at That Game."

( Esme humming "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" )

Roy: Esme!

It's snack time.

Oh. What'd you make?

I couldn't decide if I felt like spaghetti

or a sandwich,

so I made a spaghetti sandwich.

( chewing )

Mmm. Delicious.

( giggles )

( music playing )

( gasps ) Better eat fast, Roy.

We've got a monster to watch.

Yes.

We're watching Frank and Franny.

( machine whirring )

( honking )

‐ Ha ha. ‐ Yay.

Let's go.

‐ Here we come. ‐ ( honking )

Roy: Here we are.

Frank and Franny's house.

Ready to see those Bleeterblops?

Oh, yeah.

Esme! Roy!

Up here!

Oh, hi, Mr. Bleeterblop.

Kids, your monster‐sitters are here.

Esme: Hi, guys.

OK, kids. Have fun, and I'll be back soon.

‐ Bye. ‐ Bye, Dad.

See you later.

‐ Come on. ‐ ( Esme giggles )

Don't you just love monsters?

( grunting )

( all laughing )

So, what do you guys want to play today?

We want to play...

Both: Dress‐up!

Dress‐up? We're great at dress‐up.

Show 'em, Esme.

( whistles )

Frank and Franny: Wow.

‐ Yeah. ‐ Cool.

Franny: Yeah.

Look at these bunny ears. ( giggles )

Oh! A fireman hat.

‐ Look at this. ‐ And look at this.

And look at that.

Bleeterblops have a lot of energy.

Yes!

I wanna play pirate over here.

Pfft. We can handle playing two games.

( laughs ) Right?

Of course. We're the monster‐sitters.

Esme! Roy! Come pretend to be ballet dancers with me.

You got it, Frank.

Roy: Here we come.

This calls for some music.

Look, Esme. This jump is called

the "grand jeté."

Well, I call this move the "Esme jeté."

Roy: ( grunting ) Be right there.

A little tight, but I think it'll work.

Roy! Lift me up like a ballet dancer.

Oh, OK.

Up you go.

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.

"Arrr" you coming?

Aye, Esme. I be right behind ya.

( sighs )

Ahoy, mateys.

Ahoy, Franny.

Oh, boy.

Pirate Roy needs a second.

Roy, you're not a pirate.

I'm not?

No, you're an evil sea captain.

‐ So I am. Arrr! ‐ ( Franny giggles )

Avast, ye, Pirate Franny!

There's a ship dead ahead.

Well, blow me down. You're right.

Esme: Arrr, it's Captain Roy.

The meanest monster to ever sail the seven seas.

I'm so‐‐ I'm just so mean,

and I'm taking over your ship.

Arrr! Too much?

Just a little.

Quick. Use the cannons.

Ah, not the cannons!

( gasping and laughing )

Esme! Roy! Let's keep playing ballet.

Psst. Esme...

We've got a problem.

Roy: Playing two games at the same time

‐ is a lot of work. ‐ Franny: Arrr.

Maybe we should try splitting up.

‐ ( Esme giggles ) ‐ Good idea.

Captain Roy will be right back.

‐ Arrr! ‐ ( Esme giggles )

OK. You got this. Come on, buddy.

You can do this.

OK... ( pants )

‐ Perfect. ‐ Huh?

OK, Roy. You'll be the swan,

and I'll be the prince.

( panting ) A swan? Got it.

( imitating Swan call )

( giggles ) Roy.

In ballet, the swan doesn't walk,

he dances like this.

Arabesque. Arabesque.

Ara‐‐ whoa!

Well, I can do that.

Ara‐‐ Whoa!

Like that?

( both giggling )

Captain Roy, where are ye,

ye crusty barnacle?

I'm coming for ya, Pirate Franny.

Be back in a flash, Prince Frank.

Is it just me,

or is playing two games really hard?

( giggles ) You got this, Captain Roy.

Thanks, Esme. Right you "Arrr."

Huh?

( panting heavily )

‐ Ahoy, Captain Roy. ‐ Aah!

So we meet again.

Captain Roy needs a nap.

It's not time to rest.

It's time to‐‐

take that‐‐ walk the plank!

Frank: Roy!

Hold that thought. Your brother's calling.

OK. You got this, big guy.

Your a dress‐up champion. You can do it.

Just a little further.

‐ ( gasping for breath ) ‐ OK, Swan Roy.

Do exactly what I do.

Relevé, sauté, jeté.

Relevé, sauté, hit‐the‐hay.
