Roy: Yes!

Kids: Esme and Roy!

Esme: "Noisy Naptime."

Roy: Esme, look. I made a new invention.

It's called... "pillow ears"!

Now I can nap wherever I want.

Watch.

( snoring )

( giggles ) Pillow ears!

I like them.

‐ What was that? ‐ I said, "I like them"!

What?! It's hard to hear

with pillows over my ears!

I said,

"I... like... them"! ‐ ( flustered yelp )

Um, Esme, you're being kinda loud.

( giggles ) Roy.

‐ ( music playing ) ‐ ( gasps )

We've got a monster to watch.

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

‐ Yay! ‐ Hooray!

( honking )

‐ Let's go! ‐ ( chuckles )

Roy: Morning!

Oh. We're here.

Esme, can I ring the doorbell this time?

Sure, big guy.

( horn blows )

Oh, one of these days,

we got to get our own chimney horn.

Esme. Roy.

Hi, Mr. Ooga.

‐ Hi, Baby Fig. ‐ Hi, hi.

( yawns )

Looks like somebody's ready for their nap.

Really? But I just took a nap.

Oh... ( chuckles )

You mean Fig.

( chuckles ) Come on in, guys.

‐ ( Fig yawns ) ‐ OK, Figgles. It's naptime.

‐ Bye, bye. ‐ See you later.

Esme. Roy. You're here!

Hi, Hugo.

I wanna play you a song I made up.

I call it...

"Esme and Roy are

the best monster‐sitters ever,"

and it goes a little something

like this. ( clears throat )

( inhales )

( plays kazoo‐like music )

Wow, Hugo, that was spectac‐‐

( Hugo continues playing )

I really like how it‐‐

( continues playing )

Ahem. I'm done.

‐ Bravo! Hooray! ‐ Hooray!

Well, I'm off to Ooga scuba class.

Hugo, try to stay quiet so Fig can sleep,

OK, buddy?

OK.

Don't worry. We'll make sure

everyone is nice and quiet.

You won't hear a peep‐‐

( duck squeaks )

Uh... starting now.

( chuckles ) See you guys soon.

‐ See you later. ‐ Bye, Dad.

See you later. Have fun.

OK, Hugo. Let's do something nice and quiet.

To the monster case.

Wanna play Tic‐Splat‐Toe?

Make slime sculptures?

( gasps ) We could play with monster dolls‐‐

( doll emits crying sound )

Oops‐‐

...with the sound off.

I have an idea. Let's put on a big show.

Spotlight.

It'll have lights and music and dancing.

Ooh. A big show!

( chuckles ) Oh‐‐

except that sounds kind of loud.

Yeah. A show like that may wake up Baby Fig,

but... what if it were a quiet puppet show?

( gasps ) A puppet show?

( inhales )

Hugo! No, no, no.

‐ Shh. ‐ Shh.

‐ Phew. ‐ ( sighs )

I know exactly what show I wanna do.

You're gonna love it.

Presenting ( whispering ) the whispering mouse.

Oh. The whispering mouse.

Works for me.

Once upon a time,

there was the quietest mouse

in all the land.

Every day, the whispering mouse

tiptoed around, gathering soft feathers

for his quiet little nest,

until one day he met a lion.

And it was a very special lion

because he was...

the loudest lion in the world!

The lion was always

‐ Too loud. Too loud. ‐ ...stomping and roaring‐‐

Oh, no, no. Hugo, Hugo!

‐ Shh! Shh! ‐ ...and looking for food!

Stomp, stomp, roar!

‐ Hugo, shh! ‐ You're gonna wake up Baby Fig.

( gasps ) Baby Fig.

I forgot. Did she wake up?

( Fig crying )

She woke up.

( Fig crying )

Aww, Fig. It's OK.

Go to sleep, Figgle‐wiggle.

( chuckles ) Wiggle‐figgle.

( Fig uttering baby sounds )

( Fig snoring )

Good job, Hugo.

That Figgle‐wiggle thing was genius.

Thanks.

It's kind of our thing.

Now back to the puppet show.

Wait till you see the next part.

They meet a screaming zebra!

‐ Um... ‐ Um...

That sounds, um, exciting, Hugo.

But first, let's talk about our "inside" voice

and our "outside" voice.

Do you know what an inside voice sound like?

Sure, I do.

( shouting ) This is my inside voice, right?

Not exactly, not exactly.

Here, I'll show you.

An inside voice is quiet ( whispering ) like this.

An outside voice is loud like this!

Inside voice.

Outside voice!

Inside voice.

Outside voice!

Inside voice‐‐ Outside voice!

Inside voi‐‐ Outside voice!

Inside voi‐‐ Outside voice‐‐

‐ Roy. ‐ Too much?

So, Hugo, do you think the screaming zebra

in your show can use his inside voice?

No, it's more

of an outside voice zebra.

Is there anything else you wanna play?

Oh!

How about a board game?

That sounds nice and quiet.

What's it called?

"Scream‐o‐rama."

Whoa. Looks fun. ( waning giggles )

Uh, but, it's probably not

an inside voice kind of game.

Luckily, we just happen

to have the most spectacular‐‐

but also very quiet‐‐

board game ever.

( whistles )

Esme and Roy: Snorts and Ladders!

But where are all the pieces?

We're the pieces.

Wow!

Here, Hugo. Why don't you go first?

Hugo: It says, "Go to the Scaly Sea."

Yes!

I get fifty slime points! ( kazoo sounds )

‐ Hugo! Inside voice! ‐ ( kazoo sounds ) Yeah!

‐ ( kazoo sounds ) Hooray! ‐ Shh! Baby Fig is sleeping!

‐ ( gasps ) ‐ ( Baby Fig crying )

( crying )

There, there, Baby Fig.

Go to sleep.

( crying )

Go to sleep, Figgle‐wiggle.

‐ Wiggle‐figgle. ‐ ( crying )

Uh‐oh. Baby Fig isn't going back to sleep.

( groans ) Those pillow ears

would really come in handy right now.

Maybe we should sing her a lullaby.

Oh, yeah.

Baby Fig loves lullabies.

♪ Go to sleep, little Fig ♪

♪ And dream sweet dreams ♪

♪ Of rainbows and kittens ♪

♪ And green slimy things ♪

♪ Go to sleep, little Figgle ♪

♪ And snuggle up tight ♪

♪ Hugo's gonna sing you ♪

♪ A sweet song tonight ♪

♪ A‐five, six, seven, eight ♪

♪ Rest, little Figgle, yeah ♪

‐ ♪ Curl up and go to sleep ♪ ‐ Roy: Shh.

Shh! Hugo!

♪ If you're not feeling tired ♪

♪ You can count some monster sheep ♪

♪ Ba dum, dum, ba, bum da dum da ♪

( crying )

Oh, no!

I woke her up again!

No matter what I do, I'm always too loud!

Uh‐oh. Monster meltdown.

( Fig crying )

You take care of Baby Fig.

I'll talk to Hugo.

You got it.

( crying )

( humming )

( downbeat kazoo )

We've gotta find a way a way

to play quietly so Baby Fig can nap.

I'm trying to be quiet.

I really am, but it's so hard.

I know you're trying, Hugo.

Let's see if we can figure this out, OK?

♪ Take a deep breath and count to three ♪

( both inhale and exhale )

One, two, three.

♪ Now listen carefully and repeat after me ♪

Say, "Whisper, whisper. Don't wake my sister."

Whisper, whisper. Don't wake my sister.

Again!

Whisper, whisper.

Don't wake my sister.

♪ There we are ♪

♪ Nice and calm ♪

♪ Now we can move on ♪

Now, anytime you feel yourself getting loud,

you can say‐‐

"Whisper, whisper.

Don't wake my sister"

Monster hug?

Oh, I love monster hugs...

and Figgles is sleeping like a baby.

( sighs )

Esme and Roy, from now on,

you don't have to worry about me being too loud.

I won't play anything.

I won't even move a monster‐muscle.

Wow. Hugo, that's a great pose.

You look like a statue.

A statue?

A statue?

( gasps ) Wait a monster‐minute.

That's it.

What's it?

You just gave me a great idea

for a quiet game.

( whistles )

I call it... "Silly Statues."

I'll dress up and freeze like a statue,

and you guys guess what I'm pretending to be.

All right.

I like it.

OK. Guess.

Um, a ballerina with a yellow ear.

Nope. Keep guessing.

A dragon at the grocery store?

No.

I'm a big pink bird

talking to someone.

A flamingo on the phone.

You got it.

My turn, my turn.

Ta‐da! ( kazoo sound )

Hmm. A tap‐dancing giraffe!

‐ No... ‐ Oh!

An elephant putting on a magic show.

Yes! Wahoo! ( upbeat kazoo )

( gasps ) Whisper, whisper.

Don't wake my sister.

A bunny rabbit singing a song.

You got it!

A surfing dragon.

Yes!

‐ ( giggling ) A meatball. ‐ ( giggling ) A meatball.

( all giggling )

( Fig uttering baby sounds )

Sounds like someone's awake.

( Fig uttering baby sounds )

Hi, Fig.

You took such a long nap because I was so quiet

playing Silly Statutes.

I was using my inside voice.

Figgle‐wiggle wiggle‐figgle.

( Fig laughing ) Hugo.

( chuckles ) Monster hug.

Aww. ( chuckles )

Don't you just love monsters?

Esme: "The Hugo Express."

Esme: Let's see.

The unicycle goes in here.

There's a spot for the pillows.

The colossal crayons...

and‐‐

( plays tuba )

...the tuba!

‐ ( grunting ) ‐ ( chuckling )

Well, that ought to do it.

Oh‐‐ Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

I've got one more thing...

A teeny‐tiny meatball.

I don't know, Roy.

The monster‐case is pretty full.

It'll fit. It'll fit.

( strained grunting )

Ahh. Ta‐da!

( low rumble )

Uh‐oh. Whoa! Ha ha.

( chuckles ) Guess it didn't fit.

Mmm.

( playing music )

We've got a monster to watch.

Ha! ( grunts )

( gasps ) Today we're watching Hugo!

Yes!

( honking )

‐ Come on! ‐ Let's go!

( chewing and swallowing ) Mmm.

Esme: Here we are.

Hugo: Chugga‐chugga, chugga‐chugga,

chugga‐chugga, chugga‐chugga‐‐

Esme: Hey. I think I hear...

( gasps and giggles )

Esme and Roy: Hugo!

Esme! Roy!

All aboard the "Hugo Express."

Chugga‐chugga, chugga‐chugga,

All: Chugga‐chugga, chugga‐chugga,

chugga‐chugga, chugga‐chugga.

‐ ( kazoo ) ‐ Bravo! Nice train, you three.

Spotlight.

Thank you.

Thank you.

‐ Wow. ‐ Cool.

( chuckles )

How did he do that?

Whoa!

Ho ho! Oh, hi, Baby Fig.

( giggles ) Hi, Esme. Hi, Roy.

( Roy giggles )

Wow. It sure is clean in here.

Yep. Simon and Grammy are coming over for dinner,

so the house needs to be neat, clean,

‐ ...and tidy! ‐ ( Roy chuckles )

Fig: Huh. Tidy.

Well, we're heading off to music class.

You guys, have fun.

Just remember to put everything back when you're done.

Not a problem.

The monster‐sitters always clean up

after themselves.

Oh‐‐ ( chuckles )

See?

All right, kiddo. I'll see you later.

Have fun!

Fig: Bye! ( kazoo )

So, Hugo, what do you wanna play?

Yeah. We can do anything you want‐‐

I mean, as long as it's not

something super messy like mud ball

or gravy diving‐‐ Oh, boy.

That one can stain.

I wanna play...

( triumphant kazoo ) trains!

Good idea, Hugo.

I just happen to know the best train‐builders

this side of the Monster‐sippi.

‐ You do? ‐ ( gasps ) Who? Who? Who?

Us.

‐ Oh, yeah. ‐ ( whistles )

Attention, passengers.

Now arriving in living room station...

It's the monster‐case!

Hugo: Cool!

( giggles )

Perfect!

Some cotton balls...

( grunting )

...a little tape‐‐

( giggles )

( giggles )

( grunts )

( kazoo playing )

All aboard the Hugo Express.

We're making stops

across the entire living room.

Tickets, please. Tickets, please.

"Here's my ticket."

"And here's mine."

Thanks, Mr. Conductor.

Roy: ...chugga‐chugga, chugga‐chugga, chugga‐chugga‐‐

Now arriving at Sock‐ingham Palace.

Well, I say. What a splendid train!

All aboard, Your Highness.

( giggles )

Chugga‐chugga, chugga‐chugga, chugga‐chugga.

This is Pen Station.

( giggles )

Oh, please, Mr. Conductor.

I simply must get to my stop on‐time.

I'll see what I can do, ma'am.

Psst. Engineer Roy, think you can go any faster?

You got it.

Chugga‐chugga, chugga‐chugga,

chugga‐chugga, chugga‐chugga,

chugga‐chugga, chugga‐chugga‐‐

Whoa!

Well, what do you know? Here's my stop.

Bye‐bye now!

Chugga‐chugga, chugga‐chugga, chugga‐‐

Last stop. Everybody off.

Watch your step.

Phew.

( sighs )

Thank goodness for Couch Station.

Woo‐hoo!

Playing Trains was so much fun!

Hugo was like, "All aboard!"

And I was all, "Here's my ticket."

And Roy was like, "Chugga‐chugga,

chugga‐chugga, chugga‐chugga."

‐ ( all giggling ) ‐ ( phone ringing )

Monster‐sitters. This is Roy.

Dad over phone: Hi, Roy.

It's your dad.

Just calling to say

I'm headed home.

Try to have everything cleaned up

before I get there, OK?

OK.

Great. See you real soon.

( Esme and Roy gasping )

Aah! Did you hear that?

He's coming back soon‐‐

real soon,

and there's a huge mess.

What do we do? What do we do?

Don't worry, Roy.

We can clean this mess up.

We just have to start now.

‐ ( kazoo ) ‐ Huh?

( Hugo grunting )

Hugo?

Guess what?

The Hugo Express is expanding.

We're making even more stops.

‐ More stops? ‐ More stops?

That's right.

Now, the train goes through the whole house!

( kazoo )

‐ Uh‐oh. ‐ Uh‐oh.

Ooh. More passengers.

Thanks, Roy.

‐ Oh, no. Wait. ‐ ( Hugo humming )

But Hugo‐‐ aah! We need to‐‐ ugh!

...start cleaning up!

( cheerful kazoo )

Yeah. Your dad's coming home soon.

Aah!

Guys, the Hugo Express

can't stop now.

These monsters have places to go

and people to see!

Wait, wait, wait. Hugo!

I've got an idea!

How about we turn cleaning up

into a game?

‐ A game? ‐ Yeah.

A sorting game.

We can sort all the toys by color.

I'll pick up the orange toys,

Roy'll get the green ones,

and you can pick up the blue toys.

‐ Got it? ‐ Got it.

On you marks, get set, roar!

( all laughing )

There's a blue one...

( gasps ) and another one!

‐ ( giggles ) ‐ It's working!

All right, Hugo!

Now, put all your toys in here.

Uh, Hugo?

Hugo: All aboard!

‐ ( both gasp ) ‐ ( kazoo )

Look. All these toys

wanna ride the Hugo Express.

Sorry, Hugo.

We can't keep playing trains.

It's time to clean up.

Clean up? Now?

But these socks wanna ride, and so do these puppets,

and so do these sock puppets!

We can't clean up now!

All aboard. All aboard. All aboard!

( kazoo whistle )

Uh‐oh. Monster‐meltdown.

( whimpers )

It'll be all right, Hugo.

I've got something that'll help you feel better.

It's a glitter jar.

Thanks, Esme.

I hate to interrupt, but, um,

we've still got a lot of cleaning to do

before your dad gets home.

Esme: What do you say, Hugo?

Wait a monster‐minute.

That's it.

Maybe we can

keep playing trains.

Hugo, I just remembered

the Hugo Express needs to make one more stop.

It does?

Yeah. It has to help

these lost toys get back home.

See? This rubber ducky can't find her way back

to the bathtub,

and this book can't find his way to the bookcase.

And this fuzzy whose‐a‐ma‐whatzit

can't find its way to the...

uh, fuzzy whose‐a‐ma‐whatzit shelf.

All these things are counting on us

to sort them and give them a ride home.

What do you think, Hugo?

Can you do it?

Of course I can!

Guess what, Esme.

I had so much fun playing Trains to clean up,

I made my own train!

Wow. Nice work.

See? I've got everything sorted.

There are pillows for napping, books for reading,

and meatballs for snacking.

( gulps )

What goes in here?

Oh! I save this car

for the most important thing of all...

Esme's!

Aww, thanks, big guy.
