Oh, Mortimer, you're growing up so fast.

Where does the time go?

Oh, thanks, Grandfather clock.

Hey, Ava, why are you getting rid of this stuff, again?

I'm spring cleaning!

It's summer, Ava.

I procrastinated.

Hey, Ava. How's the yard sale going?

-Pretty peachy. -Oh, look -- a violin!

Neat! Ooh, there's something else in here.

Whoa, baby Ava.

[ Sobs ]

I didn't know she played the violin.

Aww, she looks so happy.

My violin!

Oh, sorry. Is this not for sale?

You can have that for free.

-Is it broken? -No. The violin sounds great.

I used to love playing it, but then I got stage fright,

and now, I can't play it without screaming.

Geez. What happened?

I was playing at my recital, and it was going well.

But then, I started thinking about the audience,

who was staring at me with those cold eyes.

Then, suddenly, those cold eyes were turning into cold notes.

Then, I couldn't play the notes because I was too cold.

Then, the audience started booing.

All the notes started booing,

so I couldn't do anything else but scream.

Ugh. Real nightmare.

Haven't played since.

Here, Let me show you.

[ Screaming ]

Anyway, it's cool.

I mean, I do miss playing the violin,

but what are you gonna do?

Well, I'll take good care of it, Ava.

We'll see you later.

-I feel bad for Ava. -Me, too.

We have to figure out a way

to get Ava to play the violin again.

Without screaming.

-I have a plan! -I have a plan!

Ooh, do you think it's the same plan?

My plan is, Ava got stage fright for the first time

during a recital. Right?

So, I got to get her to return to the scene of the crime,

get her back on the horse, and help her do a new recital.

We do not have the same plan.

I was gonna say we should get everyone in their underpants,

'cause it's hard to have stage fright

when the audience is all in their underpants.

You work on that, and I'll do my thing.

♪♪

Huh? Ava?

-Hi. -What are you doing up there?

Spring cleaning. I'm repainting the place.

Ugh. I hate painting!

Well, can you come here for a sec?

I think you should do a recital.

The solution isn't just selling your violin,

and squashing out something you love!

Yes, it is. The best way to get over your fear

is to sell your violin, and not let the buyer

come into your house and noodle around in your past.

Well, call me "spaghetti," because I'm noodling.

Look at this picture of you. You're so happy.

You should at least give it one last try.

Forget it! I'm cleaning.

Well, I already booked the hall.

If you're not into it, can you teach me how to play?

Did you already put down a non-refundable deposit?

Mm-hmm.

Oh, man.

I'll tell you what -- you paint my house,

and I'll teach you the violin.

Deal!

Aah! Aah! Aah!

Oh, Hedgehog, we do not have the same plan.

Hi, Oscar. What's up?

So, you were at the scene of the stage fright?

Oh, wow.

Where did you even get that picture?

That happened a long time ago.

-Tea? -Nah, I'm good.

So, about Ava's stage fright...

Ava and I had nice tea together before that rehearsal.

Ava played so beautifully, until she got stage fright that night.

She used to be so happy just from hearing

the violin being tuned.

[ Sobbing ] And now, all that's left are screams.

[ Blows nose ]

Do you think it's because of that tea we drank?

Hmm.

I heard tea makes you sort of relaxed.

Right? That's what I heard, too!

What if I told you we could fix Ava's stage fright?

I already tried everything.

I tried acupuncture, a psychic reading, couple's massage.

I even bought her a viola, trying to trick her mind.

She screamed twice as loud.

Did you try...

underpants?

I did not.

I read in a book that picturing the audience

in their underpants fixes stage fright.

So, I want put all the monsters in underpants.

But we don't wear underpants.

We don't even wear overpants.

Who says you need overpants to wear underpants?

Hmm?

Hmm.

Come on.

Okay.

I'd do anything to see Ava that happy again.

Great! Let's make some underpants!

Hedgehog: Aah!

Oh, Hedgehog, we do not have the same plan.

Well, a deal's a deal.

Let's start with a simple classic.

[ Screaming ]

Hmm.

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

It seems you can't be too close

to the violin without screaming.

I think you just need a bit of distance

from the violin in order to teach me.

[ Playing "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" ]

Hmm.

[ Whispering ]

Ava says you need to play a little faster.

How did she seem? Like, a little calmer?

Ugh! I'm not getting paid for this.

Fine. Tell her "okay."

You're next, Howard. Hold out your leg, please!

10 inches. Arms, please.

100 inches.

80 inches.

Listen up, monsters!

We didn't just measure for fun.

This is a pair of underpants.

Study them closely.

[ Indistinct talking ]

And this is yeti yarn!

Let's knit some underpants!

-Underpants! -Yay!

Oscar, I think I'm done!

Those are great underpants, Blanche.

Put them on. -Okay.

Oh, no.

See those holes, there?

Oh, right.

No.

Eh. I don't know about this, Oscar.

Monsters, I realized I've neglected to give you all

some crucial information.

Allow me to demonstrate how to step into underpants!

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Aah!

Aah! Aah!

Aah! Aah!

Yay! Whee! Yay! Whee!

Yay! Whee! Yay! Whee!

All: Underpants! Underpants!

[ Violin playing ]

♪♪

[ Clapping ]

Wow, so you really don't have stage fright?

You're not thinking about the audience?

Nope. I don't get stage fright.

I'm not thinking about anything.

See, Ava, getting over stage fright

is just about turning your thoughts off.

I think, if you just tried to play --

Man, not me.

I just think about everyone watching me,

and absolutely messing up, and everyone booing me,

and then feeling dumb for the rest of my life.

But it's cool you don't have stage fright.

See you tomorrow.

Huh.

[ Violin playing "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" ]

Morning, Hedgehog! How's your day going?

Great! I'm pretty much ready for the recital.

-We are, too. -I'm gonna keep practicing.

Wait, why are you practicing?

Oh, my plan changed. I'm doing the recital.

What?

Hedgehog, I have so many underpants in motion right now!

-Well... -Okay, look. It's fine.

Can you just bring Ava on stage when you're done?

Great!

[ Plays sour note ]

Uh... sounds good!

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Oh, yeah. This plan is gonna work.

Welcome, monsters!

Allow me to introduce you all to our friend, Hedgehog!

-Yeah! Hedgehog! -Hedgehog!

[ Playing "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" ]

Doing great, sweetie.

[ Plays sour note ]

Uh...uh...

Oh, no. She's panicking.

Monsters, put on your underpants!

[ Playing off-key notes ]

[ Chuckles nervously ]

She knows this part. This is the easy part.

Why is she getting stuck here?

She's getting in her head about it.

[ Playing off-key notes ]

Boo! Boo! This is an assault on my little ears!

[ All booing ] Terrible!

Boo this!

[ Playing tune ]

-Ooh! -Ooh!

Huh?

Ava, you played something without screaming.

I did? I did!

I was so worried about you

I didn't even think about my stage fright.

[ Playing tune ]

♪♪

-You're amazing! -You're amazing!

It worked! She saw the underpants.

[ Crowd clamoring ]

Ava! Brava, Ava! Magnificent!

Oh, you did great! One of your best.

Thanks, Blanche.

Why are you all wearing shorts?

They're not shorts. They're underpants.

What are underpants?

Wait. You don't know.

So, why did I...

Oh. This was a waste of everyone's time.

Rose water soda, my treat!

It's been fun, Oscar. I'll see you later.

-Yeah, later. -Bye.

But if all these underpants didn't work...

You wanted them to boo?

You planned the stage fright all along.

I did plan for Ava to come on stage,

and rescue me from being booed.

But to be honest, the stage fright was real.

It's scary out there, Oscar.

But you can't let that stop you.

Ava just needed to get out of her head.

And I need to get out of this huge pile of underpants!

[ Both laugh ]

Seriously, please help me.
