Esme: "The Greatest Show in Monsterdale."

All right, Roy, I'm gonna draw a picture,

and then you can add on to it.

Oh, boy! I can't wait.

Is it my turn? Is it my turn?

Is it my turn?!

Sorry. Told you I can't wait.

( giggles ) Almost done. There. I drew a pear.

Now you can add whatever you want.

( humming ) Is it just me,

or is this a good‐looking pear?

( giggles ) Nice work.

I'm more than just a pretty face, Esme.

More than just a pretty face.

‐ ( monster‐case playing music ) ‐ ( both gasp )

We've got a monster to watch!

Make that two monsters. Hugo and Fig!

Yay!

( monster‐case whirring )

( honking )

( both giggle )

‐ Come on! ‐ Let's go!

‐ ( honking ) ‐ Hello.

Here we are‐‐ the Ooga house.

Ooh! I wanna ring the doorbell!

( air horn honking )

( Hugo imitating kazoo )

Do you hear that? Sounds like‐‐

‐ Esme: ( giggles ) Hugo! ‐ Roy: Hugo!

Esme! Roy! Group hug!

All: Huh?

Group hug!

Don't you just love monsters?

‐ Come on in, guys. ‐ ( Fig giggles )

Esme, Roy, thanks for coming.

I'm off to my monster‐cise class.

Ooh. Monster‐cise class?

That sounds like fun.

It may sound fun, Roy, but I assure you,

it's a serious workout.

And one and two‐‐ ( grunts ) three and four!

Well, I'm off!

Have fun, kiddos.

All right, guys. What do you wanna do today?

I know! I know!

I just learned a new magic trick.

Spotlight!

How does he do that?

Sorry, Roy. A magician never reveals his secrets.

OK, Esme. Pick a card.

Hugo: Any card.

Now look at the card.

Show Roy. Show Fig.

Show Hugo‐‐ no, wait, that's me.

OK. Now put the card back in the deck.

And... voila!

Is this your card?

‐ Nope. ‐ Amazing, right?

Wait‐‐ what?!

Sorry.

OK... how about this one?

Esme: Nope.

Maybe this one?

‐ Esme: Sorry. ‐ ( chuckles )

All part of the trick, folks.

Peekaboo!

Aww. Fig's playing peekaboo with us.

‐ Peekaboo! ( giggles ) ‐ Peekaboo to you, too.

Peekaboo!

Peekaboo!

‐ Esme, Roy! ‐ Peekaboo!

( Esme and Roy giggle )

Uh, guys?

( singsong ) I think I found your card.

Peekaboo!

Figgles, put me down.

Esme and Roy are watching my magic trick.

But Fig wanna play peekaboo.

No‐‐ magic!

No‐‐ peekaboo!

( giggles ) Don't worry, guys.

We can watch both of you.

Yeah. You just have to take turns.

And I know what can help.

( whistles )

A monster timer.

We'll set the timer for Hugo's turn,

and when it dings,

that means it's Fig's turn.

Sound good?

‐ Yep. ‐ Uh‐huh.

OK, Hugo. It's your turn.

‐ ( timer clicking ) ‐ Let's see. Where was I?

Ah, yes. Esme, is this your card?

( timer dings )

‐ Fig ding! ‐ Figgles, that's not‐‐

Fig, you can't make the timer ding.

You have to let it finish.

‐ Oh. ‐ Let's try that again.

OK. I think I got it.

Esme, I present to you your card!

Um, not exactly...

Really? How about this one?

This one? This one?

Please tell me it's this one. No?

This one? This one?

( timer dings )

Timer ding! Peekaboo!

But, but‐‐ my trick's not over.

It's still my turn!

No! Fig turn!

Timer ding! Timer ding!

( both imitating kazoo )

Fig: Timer ding! Timer ding!

Uh, Esme, I don't think the timer's helping.

Hmm. Let's try something else.

Ah‐ha. Hugo, Fig, I have a new idea.

This is a turn‐taking toy.

Actually, his name is Carl.

Yeah, that Carl.

Well, today, if you're holding Carl,

it means it's your turn.

Then, when you're done,

you pass Carl to the next person.

Huh? Oh, right. It's my turn.

Guess I'll do this! ( grunts )

( Roy screaming )

( laughing ) Is it me,

or are my cartwheels getting a lot better?

( giggles )

OK, Fig. Your turn.

Ready? Peekaboo!

Peekaboo!

Peekaboo!

Bravo, Fig. Bravo.

But I think your game is missing one thing:

Some magic!

I'm going to make Carl... disappear!

Hugo!

‐ Esme and Roy: Uh‐oh. ‐ Amazing, right?

Look at that! I'm holding Carl.

I guess it's my turn.

No! Not Hugo turn!

‐ Uh‐oh. ‐ Whoa. Uh‐oh.

Hey! That's my audience.

‐ Fig turn! ‐ Whoa!

Stop that! They're watching me.

Fig turn!

Hang on, Roy.

At least it's a comfy ride.

There. Fig turn.

No. My turn.

( both imitating kazoo )

Uh‐oh. Monster‐meltdown.

Make that a double monster‐meltdown!

Guys, I know you're upset,

but I've got something that can help.

It's a glitter jar.

Here. Shake it.

♪ When the glitter starts to fall like snow ♪

♪ Take a deep breath, nice and slow ♪

( breathes deeply )

♪ Watch as it settles all around ♪

( breathes deeply )

♪ And feel your body calming down ♪

There. Now that you're both feeling more calm,

we can work on taking turns.

Phew! This place was becoming a real circus.

Did you say circus?

Fig love circus!

I mean, who doesn't? They're great.

They've got clowns and acrobats

and strongmen and‐‐

Wait a monster‐minute. That's it!

The circus has lots of performers,

and they all take turns!

Maybe, if we make our own circus,

Hugo and Fig will take turns, too.

Hugo and Fig: Yay!

I can't wait! When do we start?

When do we start? When do we start?!

I told you I can't wait.

( giggles )

Then get ready, guys.

It's playtime.

♪ Let's build a circus ♪

♪ It will be a big event ♪

♪ We'll perform our show ♪

♪ Under a red and yellow tent ♪

♪ We'll make costumes galore ♪

♪ For acts that astound ♪

♪ Fig will draw the posters ♪

♪ And I'll hang them around ♪

♪ We'll gather such a crowd ♪

♪ And they'll all cheer from below ♪

♪ We just built a circus ♪

♪ So now on with the show ♪

OK, performers.

The show's about to start.

Fig ready.

Roy: And look. It's a full house.

Time to shine.

Just remember, guys, the rule of playing circus

is that each performer takes a turn and waits

for the other one to finish.

Got it?

Hugo and Fig: Got it.

Whoo‐hoo!

Esme: Ladies and gentle‐monsters...

googly‐eyed stuffies of all ages,

welcome to the greatest show in Monsterdale!

( Hugo, Fig, and Roy cheering )

Up first, it's everyone's favorite magician‐‐

the one, the only, the great Hougini!

Spotlight.

Seriously, how does he do that?

OK, madam, pick a card.

Hugo: Any card.

Now put it back in the deck.

Let's see... is this your card?

That's it!

Really? I did it?!

Phew. I mean‐‐ ta‐da!

( Esme, Roy, and Fig cheering )

And now, for her turn, we present Fig,

the peekaboo tightrope walker!

Peekaboo!

Peekaboo!

Peeka‐‐ whoa!

That drop's at least three inches!

Whoa! Phew. ( giggles )

Esme, Roy, and Hugo: Hooray!

Thank you, thank you.

And now prepare to be amazed!

It's time for the Ooga cannonball.

( imitates drumroll )

Kaboom!

Wahoo!

Yay!

And now it's time for the breathtaking,

hair‐raising,

nose‐tooting... Fig the Strong Monster!

( grunts ) Ta‐da!

‐ ( grunts ) ‐ Oops.

Ta‐da. ( grunts )

Ta‐da‐da‐da!

( imitates kazoo ) Figgles, that was incredible!

Bravo, bravo!

Thanks! Hugo good, too.

That was so much fun.

Fig was like ( imitates Fig grunting )

and Hugo was all, "Is this your card?

And the audience was all like‐‐

( chuckles ) I know.

Playing circus really helped

Fig and Hugo take turns.

And now, it's my pleasure

to introduce our final act.

( imitates kazoo )

The greatest sitters in Monsterdale!

Spotlight.

Hugo: Bravo!

‐ Whoo‐hoo! ‐ Whee!

‐ Whoo‐hoo! ‐ Oops!

Roy: Oh! ( weakly ) Ta‐da.

Esme: Roy! ( giggles )

Esme: "The Amazing Outdoors."

Hey, Roy, wanna play a game?

Of course I do.

What are we playing?

We're playing...

"What's different about Dumpling?"

( giggles ) Sounds like fun.

OK. What's different about Dumpling?

( squeaks )

Hmm. ( gasps )

She's wearing sunglasses.

‐ ( squeaking ) ‐ You got it!

Now what's different?

Um, oh, um, let's see.

( gasps ) I know what's different!

Dumpling's eating a munchie‐munchie,

which reminds me‐‐ it's snack time.

‐ Mmm! ‐ ( monster‐case playing music )

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

Today we're watching Simon!

Hooray!

( monster‐case whirring )

( honking )

( giggles )

‐ Yay! Let's go! ‐ Let's go!

Esme and Roy: Whoo‐hoo!

( honking )

Here we are. The Swoozle house.

I can't wait to see Simon.

Then you know what to do.

Both: Ring all the doorbells!

( doorbells ringing )

Oh, ( singsong ) hello, monster‐sitters.

Come in, come in, come in!

‐ ( music playing on TV ) ‐ Wow.

Hey, Simon. Whatcha watching?

It's my favorite show, "Amazing Monsters."

Ooh. What's it about?

It's about monsters that are amazing!

‐ Wow. ‐ Good title.

Hello, hello, hello, and welcome back, Monsterdale.

I'm your host, Robin Screech.

Are ya ready for our next amazing monster?

‐ Ready! ‐ Ready.

Then let's go.

Whoo‐hoo!

Oh, Simon sure does love his show.

But he's watched enough TV today.

After this episode,

I'd like for him to go outside.

Don't worry, Grammy, after this,

we'll get Simon up and moving.

Right, Roy?

Hmm? Oh‐‐ up and moving. Right.

Fantastical!

Well, I'd better get to my monster‐mime class.

( giggles )

Swoozle‐oo!

‐ Bye. ‐ Bye, Grammy.

And now, it's time to meet our final amazing monster!

Thanks, Robin. I'm excited to be here.

Mrs. Deliwag has the longest tail in Monsterdale.

How long you ask?

Ask how long.

Esme, Roy, and Simon: How long?!

I'm so glad you asked.

Mrs. Deliwag, please show us

how long your tail is.

OK. ( giggles )

Esme, Roy, and Simon: Wow!

That's right, folks.

Mrs. Deliwag's tail is very long.

And that's the end of our amazing show.

Roy and Simon: Aww.

Robin: But another episode

is coming up next.

Roy and Simon: Yay!

Roy, remember what Grammy said?

It's time to turn off the TV

and take Simon outside.

Oh, right.

Just one more episode? Please?

Come on, Simon.

We don't need TV when we can explore

the great outdoors!

It really is great!

You might even say "amazing!"

Really? Are you sure?

Of course we're sure.

There's so much to do out here.

We can make grass angels!

Or pretend to go swimming!

Or make a hat out of leaves!

Too much?

( chuckles ) Maybe a little.

( gasps ) I've got an idea for an amazing game!

Let's play hide‐and‐seek.

I love that game.

Swoozle‐monsters are great at hiding.

Perfect. You hide, and we'll seek.

One meatball, two meatballs, three meatballs...

Anybody else getting hungry?

( giggles )

Ready or not, Simon, here we come.

Simon, are you back here?

Or over here?

Under here?

‐ Simon? ‐ Hello?

Are you there? Where could he be?

Guys, I'm over here.

Hang on, talking grass.

We're trying to find Simon.

Roy, I think that talking grass is Simon.

( chuckles ) Found you!

I don't know if I would

call this game "amazing."

I was just standing here.

( sighs )

Simon: Can I go inside and watch my show now?

There's nothing amazing out here.

We'll find something. Just leave it to us.

Psst. What are we gonna do?

We've gotta show Simon that being outside

I know, but how?

How? How?! D'oh!

Roy, are you OK?

I'm OK. I'm just glad I didn't land

on these monster snails.

Monster snails?

Whoa! I've never seen those before.

They're amazing!

Wait a monster‐minute.

That's it!

Simon, how would you like to make your own TV show

about all the amazing things in your backyard?

My own TV show?

Yeah. You already found one amazing thing.

I bet, if you look closely,

there are lots of things you can find.

What do you say, Simon?

Wanna make your own TV show?

That would be... amazing!

Then get ready. It's playtime.

‐ Ready? ‐ Ready.

Come on, Esme.

Let's see what's on TV today.

I sure hope it's something... amazing!

Hello, hello, hello, Monsterdale.

Welcome to Simon's Amazing Backyard.

I'm your host, Simon!

Are you ready to find some amazing things?

Then let's go!

You'll never believe what I found over here.

Do you want to know what it is?

‐ Yes! ‐ I do! I do!

It's... a frog!

Did you know that frogs' tongues

are long and sticky?

Ask me how sticky?

Esme and Roy: How sticky?

I'm so glad you asked.

Watch this.

( fly buzzing )

( ribbits )

‐ Wow. ‐ Cool.

That's right, folks.

A frog's tongue is very sticky.

I'd say that's amazing!

And now, if you'll follow me,

I have something else to show you.

‐ Esme: Ooh. ‐ Roy: What is it?

What is it? What is it?!

It's... a nest.

And look! There's an egg inside.

I know what you're thinking.

A nest with an egg in my own backyard?

That's‐‐

Esme and Roy: Amazing.

It sure is. And now, come with me

as I try to find out who lives inside this tree.

( squirrel squeaking )

Roy: The squirrel.

The squirrel lives in there.

That's right.

The squirrel lives inside the tree.

But there's more.

Did you know that squirrels can jump very far?

‐ Esme and Roy: Whoa! ‐ Isn't that just so amazing?

‐ Well, folks, that's our‐‐ ‐ Psst.

Simon, look.

The baby bird is hatching.

Until next time, this is Simon saying goodbye

from my very fun and very amazing backyard.
