(intense, dramatic music)

- She was being chased, there was no place she could hide.

She was face to face with a terrible monster,

but she didn't feel any fear

and then the monster attacked her!

I'll never give up, do you hear me, never!

Go away, ugly monster, go away or I'll kill you!

(monster roars) Do you hear me?

(intense, dramatic music)

It was a wild struggle.

The lady was completely covered in blood,

but despite being injured, she continued to fight.

(Nelly groaning) (gurgling)

(baby crying)

(ketchup gurgles) Finally, she beat the monster!

(dramatic music) (baby crying)

The end.

- Well done. - That was terrible.

(scattered applause) (mixed conversations)

- Boo!

- Bah bup bup bup. - Go away, you're terrible!

- Okay, thanks. - Okay uh,

can I ask you to be quiet, please?

But we thank her for that performance that was most unusual.

(door rattling) (distant audience chatter)

(props clatter)

(labored, emotional breathing)

(knocking at the door)

- [Dad] Nelly.

Let's talk about it.

Your friends probably really liked the play, deep down.

- Those kids are not my friends.

(dispenser thumping)

(Nelly sighs)

- [Dad] (knocking at the door) Hey, come out of there now.

(door rattles)

I know it doesn't feel like it now, Nelly,

but school's just a small part of life.

- Just 12 years.

- Yeah, maybe you can pretend to be

more like all the other kids?

So it'll be easier for you.

And remember, those who are popular now, Nelly,

are often the ones who--

- Who just end up as failures as adults.

- Have I said that?

- After the Christmas show

and when you were angry 'cause nobody came to my party.

- [Dad] Okay, but get changed now so we can get going.

- Oh, hello my baby.

Yeah.

(gentle, quiet music)

- [Dad] It'll be nice to get away for a while, right?

Get out to the country, see Uncle Hannibal,

enjoy the fresh air, recharge our batteries.

(gentle, cheery, orchestral music)

Impressive, right?

Yeah, not a bad place to spend your fall break.

(gentle, cheery music)

(doors thump shut)

(door lock rattles) (door squeaks)

- Oh well that's great.

So then I guess Hannibal did call for help.

- [Dad] Yeah, or rather, it was me who called.

- [Lena-Sleva] I see.

- [Dad] This is Nelly.

- Right, and you are her assistant?

- (laughs) You could call it that.

- Here you are.

- Or dad, as we say at home.

- [Lena-Sleva] So it's a family business.

Here, take this. - Thanks.

- Please, you can come on in.

We have all this space,

so you might as well get started with the cleaning.

You can work in shifts.

- (clears throat) No no,

I think there may have been a misunderstanding.

- Oh yeah.

- You see, this is Nelly.

Nelly Rapp, Hannibal's niece.

And I'm Nelly's father, I was married to Alice.

We've met before, many times,

but it was, of course, a long time ago.

- (gasps) Are you Nelly?

Are you that Nelly, Alice's daughter?

Yes, you are. (laughs)

You know, I'm so stupid, last time I saw you,

you were a tiny baby and you look just like anyone,

with that ordinary face.

- Thanks.

- I'm so sorry, I thought Hannibal had hired you

to do the washing up along with the cleaning and cooking.

- No. (laughing)

Surely Hannibal knows that Nelly is staying here for a week?

- Oh yeah, oh yes, Hannibal, yes, he knows.

At least I think so.

You are welcome to use all the rooms as you please,

except the cellar.

- What's in the cellar?

- Monsters, so don't go there.

- What?

- Yeah, of course there are no monsters in the cellar,

Nelly, I'm sure are aware that Lena is just joking with you.

- Lena-Sleva, hm.

(quiet, foreboding music) (thumping footsteps)

And this is your room.

- I thought I'd stay for the night, while she settles in.

That way I'll be more comfortable.

- Yes, you do that, and feel free to do some cleaning.

(dad laughs)

(bed squeaking) (equipment clatters)

(gentle, quiet music)

(dad sighs)

- Your mother also liked it here.

She always said she liked old, haunted houses. (chuckles)

- You're sure it's haunted?

- Oh, absolutely not. (chuckles)

(door squeaks) (dad startles)

Oh, I didn't hear you come in.

(Lena-Sleva chuckles) Ah.

Uh no, uh uh buh buh buh,

we normally only have candy on Saturdays.

- Enjoy them, dear.

- (sighs) Right.

Okay, thank you, Lena-Sleva.

She's very quiet.

- Are she and Hannibal married?

- No, they're old teacher colleagues and friends.

I don't actually know, Nelly.

Can't actually say I've ever understood these people.

Come here, London.

- Is that why we never visit them?

- So, I'll get your bag so you can settle in, mm.

(startles) Oh, oh. (grunts)

- I simply forgot the milk. (chuckles)

(Nelly chuckles)

(dad snoring)

(bed creaks) (dad snoring)

(slippers scuffling)

(quiet, eerie music) (car door thumps)

(man protesting) (quiet, eerie music)

(door creaks) (thumps)

(scuffling feet) - Keep quiet.

(gentle, eerie music)

(quiet, eerie music)

- [Hannibal] We'll let you out when you calm down.

(Nelly gasps)

(chains clinking) (vampire hissing)

(cage clatters)

- [Lena-Sleva] There.

- [Hannibal] I'll write the report for Vincent.

- [Lena-Sleva] Yes, you'd better do that.

- Papa, wake. (dad snoring)

Papa, wake up.

- What, what is it?

- Uncle Hannibal has a vampire in a cage in the cellar.

- No, no he doesn't.

What Lena-Sleva says about monsters and stuff

is just a story.

- No no no, it's true, I saw it!

Please dad, come on, it's a vampire.

It had fangs and Hannibal's hand had a bloody bandage on it.

What if he got bitten by the vampire?

- What were you doing coming down here

in the middle of the night?

Something could have happened.

Oh.

(dad sighs)

Oh, have you seen this?

It's your grandmother Yardis.

What a nice portrait.

- Come on!

- [Dad] Yeah yeah yeah.

(dramatic, orchestral music)

- But, it was here.

- It was probably a dream.

You may have been sleepwalking.

Come on, come here.

It's not unusual to have nightmares

when you sleep in an unfamiliar place.

And may I remind you, you're a very sensitive little girl.

- Skip the psychology, I know what I saw.

- Mm, okay, come on sweetie, let's go back to bed.

You need some sleep and daddy's got a very early start.

(gentle, eerie music)

(London snoring)

(Nelly sighs)

- Good morning, London.

(dog snoring) London, time to get up.

London.

Time for breakfast.

(Nelly giggles)

- If there's the slightest sign of homesickness,

you'll have to call.

Nelly's a bit, she's a bit unusual.

It's like she has her own fantasy world inside her head

and she gets stuck in it sometimes.

And one other thing I need to mention,

if there are other kids of her age around,

(laughs) that would be great.

I'm afraid she hasn't got many friends back at home.

At school, I believe she hasn't quite found her,

oh, Nelly. - Nelly.

Welcome.

Did you sleep okay?

Your father says you've been having nightmares.

No monsters in the cellar, hm?

- Ah. - Cigarillo?

- Uh buh buh buh buh.

Now just a minute, Nelly is only 11 years old.

(cigarillo case thumps closed) - I see.

And here's a dog.

- [Nelly] London.

- Hello London.

London.

(Hannibal muttering)

So.

- [Dad] Oh, I guess you're getting hungry, huh Nelly?

- Hm?

Right.

You want to have something to eat.

No problem, I'll see what we've got.

(phone rings) - Oh.

Hello, this is Lennart.

Yeah, okay, go ahead, make a start.

I'll join you later, quietly.

Yeah.

Uh huh.

Okay, I'll meet you there.

Okay.

Mmhmm.

All right. - We've got halloumi bowl,

beef croquets, pasta carbonara--

(bow rattles) (Hannibal shouts)

Oh, (laughs) I got it.

Ah. (grunts)

- Oh God!

(bow rattles)

- Well, you're not as fast as you once were.

- [Dad] You need to get to the hospital, you need a doctor!

- No no no no-- - No no no no, it's fine.

- It's not necessary.

Some blood and other minor injuries

is nothing for a retiree or pensioner.

- I took an early retirement.

- Yes, and in winter, when it's slippery,

we fall and break something every day, don't we? (chuckles)

- Nelly, you have to get ready to come back to town with me,

okay? - No no no no,

Nelly should stay here with us.

And of course surely

you want to stay here with Uncle Hannibal.

- Come on, we'll go and get some breakfast.

- Go on, I'll see you in a few minutes.

Doodle oo.

(distant chatter)

Brace yourself.

- No, don't-- - Yes.

- Stop, ah-- - Come on.

- Do not come near me, it's really painful.

- I'm only trying to help you.

- [Hannibal] Get something,

get some pruning shears or something.

- It'll be a lot of fun.

- When you get an arrow straight through your arm,

it is not a minor injury.

Of course you need a doctor.

Immediately, straight away, with no discussion whatsoever.

Do you remember last summer when I got stung by a wasp?

It hurt, a lot.

Imagine an arrow straight through your arm, oh my God!

(cart rattling)

(quiet, foreboding music) (cart rattling)

(cart creaking) (quiet, foreboding music)

(bags rustling)

- [Dad] I wish I could have done something about work, but--

- Don't worry at all.

Nelly is in good hands.

- (sighs) Come on, come here.

(dad grunts)

(quiet, cheery music) (London's claws clicking)

(metal clanks) (quiet, cheery music)

(door clatters) (London's claws clicking)

(quiet, cheery music)

(door squeaks) (quiet, foreboding music)

(distant clattering)

(book thumps)

(button clicks)

(wall rumbling) (quiet, foreboding music)

(distant, tinny music)

- Hannibal.

Mama.

(quiet, gentle music)

(loud shrieking)

- Oh, it's only you.

(labored breathing)

- What, what is this place?

- What is this place?

The fact that you found it,

that means that you are ready now.

You'll find out everything sooner or later anyway.

- Ready to do what?

- What I'm about to tell you is very, very secret,

and you must promise me

that you will never, ever tell anyone

whether they are a living creature or even a dead one.

Understand?

Good.

It's like this,

there are monsters and other creatures in the world

and they are not of human kind.

- (muffled response) What do you mean?

- What's that?

- (muffled response) What do you mean?

- Sorry?

- [Nelly] For real?

- Huh, what?

- For real? - Yes.

This is our library.

Here is all our research

and everything that's ever been written about monsters.

And guess what,

people come from all over the world to see this

to read everything that we've documented.

(quiet, foreboding music)

And here, we have a collection of different organs.

We have monster paws--

- [Nelly] What, really?

- [Lena-Sleva] Undeveloped fetuses over there.

- [Nelly] Uh huh.

- And here, here,

(liquid burbles)

(giggles) these are delicious.

(crunches) Mm, pickled eggs.

Try one.

They keep forever, go on.

(liquid burbles) Don't be shy.

(lid clanks)

Most of the time there's a very good balance

between monsters and humans.

The monsters keep to themselves, usually,

and people don't really notice them.

For the most part, it works,

but then sometimes something goes haywire

and they don't like that they're monsters.

That's when they start breaking the rules

and that's where we come in.

We are the monster agents.

Our most important task

is to protect the world from monsters

and to protect monsters from the world.

- You and Hannibal, are you agents?

- Mmhmm.

Come.

(door clatters) (creaks)

This is where we bring difficult monsters.

Don't worry, he's asleep.

These are the ones who can't be helped

in their natural environment.

This one hasn't stuck to his diet

and last night he went out looking for blood.

Luckily we caught him before he could attack a human.

- Mmhmm.

(vampire sputters sleepily)

(vampire hisses) (Nelly startles)

(vampire sputtering)

- He's a little malnourished, see?

You take a little more nourishment and we'll let you out.

(door thumps)

(files rattle)

You know, we considered your mother a hero.

- [Nelly] Wasn't she a librarian?

- [Lena-Sleva] Yes, but she was also a monster agent.

- [Nelly] Wow.

- [Lena-Sleva] See that?

- [Nelly] Mom.

(gentle, quiet music)

- You're so much like her.

Not a single day goes by that I don't think of her.

I miss her so much, since that mission when she disappeared.

- What mission?

- [Lena-Sleva] Hm?

- A car accident?

- We wanted people to believe

that she met her demise in a car accident.

If only she hadn't been so stubborn.

- Then, what happened?

- There was a super-moon in March, almost nine years ago.

Your mother responded to a werewolf alarm,

in the dark forest, alone.

- [Man] Alice!

- [Lena-Sleva] One should never do that on their own.

- [Woman] Alice!

(werewolf growls)

- [Lena-Sleva] We followed her and we searched for her.

(werewolf growls) For a long time.

- [Man] Alice!

(werewolf growls)

- But we never found her,

your mama.

I'm sorry.

(paper rustling)

Look here.

It was your mother's monster agent badge.

(gentle, quiet music)

- What are you doing, saying what you shouldn't say?

- [Lena-Sleva] What?

- Surely you haven't told her.

- Uh, told her what exactly, what do you mean?

Well, I've mentioned just a few things.

- What has been decided?

- We did decide that we should wait.

- We should wait.

How long has she been here?

One day, and then you start blah blah blah blah blah blah.

You come with me. (Nelly mutters)

You've seen too much already.

- [Nelly] But I want to be a monster agent.

- Absolutely no way.

(curtains rattle) There,

get into the elevator.

(door rumbling)

(door squeaks)

Right now, (door clatter)

I want you to listen to me, concentrate.

Look at the pocket watch.

Follow it with your eyes.

Breath deeply, forget everything you have seen.

I'm erasing your memory.

You won't remember a thing and you--

- What are you doing?

- (disgruntled sigh) It never worked anyway.

Just forget everything you've seen, forget!

And no nagging.

- [Vincent] This can't go on.

More and more monsters are showing up among people.

Sorry to say, but no one's safe anymore.

- Tea?

- [Vincent] You know, I've been saying for a long time--

- You know, I thought maybe

you could let me become a monster agent after all?

- Please Nelly, I'm busy.

You can't just wander around the house.

- [Nelly] Do you want some candy?

- No more. (grunts)

That's not all, the world is full of media reports,

incidents that can only be explained by one thing,

(stack bangs) monsters.

- [Lena-Sleva] A large woman abducts a child

from a maternity ward.

Oh my God, these are obviously trolls.

The water spirit likes to entertain.

- Hey. - Huh?

Oh. - Uh,

you have to know, I really feel ready to do this.

(Lena-Sleva chuckles)

- You shouldn't be here-- - but I'm ready--

- I told you so.

Now do as I say, go upstairs and stay there

and don't come down again.

(doors thump)

Vincent says our old methods aren't working anymore.

- Vincent?

- The monsters are more active than ever.

He has called for a crisis meeting.

He has a new idea that he wants to present

and put into action.

- [Lena-Sleva] Ug, you don't think he's exaggerating?

- Absolutely not at all,

he's the one who's got the big picture.

- All right, okay, you call a crisis meeting.

Then we'll see where that gets us.

- Yeah.

- Nothing good, I'm sure.

You see, I have no faith in him.

I think that sometimes he's a,

bit of a drama queen, hm?

Let him come and, we'll see what Vincent has to say.

- What?

- [Lena-Sleva] If he actually shows up.

(door creaks) - What was that all about?

What was all that winking?

Did I see you wink?

(dramatic, orchestral music)

- Now Nelly, we're having a monster agent meeting.

- [Nelly] Bunch of strange cars.

- But it's just a cover.

We can't let people know that we're monster agents,

so we have to have other jobs.

Then people think that's what we do.

- [Nelly] And so what's your cover?

- I'm a retired teacher,

just like Hannibal.

He took early retirement.

He thinks it's classy.

(engine humming)

(gentle, orchestral music)

(door thumps)

(gentle, orchestral music)

- [Nelly] Who's that?

- [Lena-Sleva] Vincent,

he's become the most important person

in the monster agent council, so important.

You could say he's our boss.

- What's his cover?

- He's a life coach.

- What's that?

- I don't know.

Come on.

Wait here, wait.

(people chattering)

- Lena-Sleva, it's been a long time.

Nice to see you.

- [Lena-Sleva] Welcome.

- Sorry, I thought I saw a ghost. (laughs)

Is that Alice's daughter?

- Yes, Nelly.

Aren't they alike?

- Definitely.

Hello.

Wow, great place.

(chuckles) I could happily live here.

- (laughs) Yeah, we do our best.

I couldn't help but notice outside your beautiful Porsche,

what year is it?

- '85.

- Of course. - Mmhmm.

- And the engine?

- 3.3 liters.

- Turbo charged?

- Of course.

- [Hannibal] Rims?

- Split.

- Of course.

(siren wailing)

- [Lena-Sleva] Oh, not now.

- Uh, monster alarm, we have activity in sector three.

- [Man] We'll take my car, I have several uniforms.

- [Hannibal] Let's go, mission military exercise.

(dramatic, orchestral music)

- Hey, I'll come with you, Hannibal.

- [Vincent] Watch out, next time. (laughs)

(dramatic, orchestral music) (engine rumbles)

(labored breathing) (quiet, playful music)

(bicycle clatters)

(helmet rattles) (Nelly sighs)

- No London, come back.

London, come back!

(quiet, orchestral music)

- It's hiding by the garbage.

A Frankenstein-er, wandering around in public.

- [Vincent] It's breaking all the rules.

- [Hannibal] But yes.

- What's going on?

- Today is our uh, Army training day.

- [Man] Bolas.

- [Woman] Here they are.

- [Man] You're going to use bolas?

- Yes.

Ah, (exhales) Yee haw!

(dramatic, orchestral music)

(garbage can clatters) (Vincent grunts)

- [Woman] Is this what our taxes are used for?

- [Man] Absolutely.

- London, stop!

(pattering footsteps)

(quiet, foreboding music)

No London, come, not that way!

London! (labored breathing)

London.

(quiet, foreboding music)

London, come.

(quiet music)

London.

(quiet music) (creaking floorboards)

(rumbling engine)

- Vincent, forget about it.

It's exactly like you said, our old methods no longer work.

Let's regroup and focus on the meeting.

We're all looking forward to hearing more about your idea.

Huh?

(pattering footsteps) (quiet music)

- London.

(sighs) There you are, London.

(quiet, orchestral music)

Professor Stein.

(quiet, orchestral music)

(item clatters)

(distant door rattles)

(approaching thumping footsteps)

London!

London! (foreboding music)

(pattering footsteps) (foreboding music)

London, come on.

London! (panicked breathing)

(quiet music) (thumping footsteps)

No no no, no.

(quiet, foreboding music)

(Nelly gasps)

(quiet, foreboding music)

(Nelly mutters fearfully)

London, run!

What, what was she?

- Well, what are we going to do?

We can't work any harder than we already do.

Two of my agents are now suffering from burnout.

- But do we really know that the monsters

have become harder to catch?

- Well, you can ask Hannibal and Lena-Sleva, I don't know.

You've been chasing a werewolf for six months now,

am I right?

- Yes, we have because it's very fast.

I'll take this one.

(wolf howling)

Oh dear.

Where did it go?

- [Vincent] But is it right that poor you

should have to run and get sweaty

just because they cause a problem?

No, it's time for new ideas.

- [Group] Yes.

- And that's what this presentation

is going to be all about.

It's a story about a little boy.

Not a day goes by without him being bullied

or teased or mocked.

No one liked him, not even his own mother like him.

"You're so ugly," she said.

But he's strong, the boy is strong.

He no longer wants to live in the shadows.

He decided to change his life for the better

and he chose happiness.

And this boy, that was me.

(group applauding) (Hannibal chuckling)

- He's such a drama queen.

- Right.

- No matter how brutal, maladjusted or disgusting they are,

surely everyone can change.

Monsters, a huge problem in society.

Monster agents have been fighting them for generations,

but the question is, are the old methods,

in fact, still working?

The answer is, no.

The new, state-of-the-art, Total Care Center

combats monsters with high-tech, cost-effective methods.

Here, patients are treated

with the very latest normalization techniques.

- [Woman] Please try some broccoli.

You won't get anymore human brains.

(zombie grumbles)

- Our cosmetic expertise is world-class.

A werewolf's horrifying hands can be fixed.

A vampire's scary smile can, of course, be treated.

Our producers will make them as human as possible.

Total Care Center, for a world free of grotesque monsters.

(group applauding)

What do you think?

Was it bad?

- No no no.

- I should've lowered my voice a little,

Total Care Center, huh?

- No, no it was, (clears throat) it was fine.

- Tell me.

- Well, I don't know.

Uh, this thing you expressed, about making everyone fit in,

or those who don't.

- I think you're right, I think it's possible.

We're gonna face a lot of obstacles,

but I need all your monster agents to do their part.

And I need you,

and all of your monster agents to come through.

- I'm in. (laughs)

- Yes.

Today's monsters are more brutal than ever before.

(books thumping) (gentle, dramatic music)

- [Nelly Voiceover] Werewolf, half wolf, half human.

Transformation happens during a full moon, once me.

Ghosts, can't, want to depart from this world.

Vampires, can't stand sunlight, drink blood.

(gentle, dramatic music)

A Frankenstein-er is a monster put together

from different body parts.

Their head, legs and arms are stitched together,

making a completely new creature.

That's why they're called poly-corpus,

poly means many and corpus means body.

In order to bring the creature to life,

a laboratory is required and also very strong electricity

as one would find in lightening, for example.

One of the many problems with Frankenstein-ers

is that they lack a natural link

between their heart and their brain.

In addition, they are incredibly strong.

For that reason, they can be ruthless and very dangerous.

(gentle, dramatic music)

- If I say to you that Total Care Center is the solution,

what say you?

- [Group] Yes.

- Do you want it?

- [Group] Yes.

- I said, do you want it?

- [Group] Yes!

- I can't hear you!

(group applauding) (cheering)

Can't hear you!

(group applauding) (shouting)

All right!

(group chanting, "Vincent") (clapping hands)

(quiet, dramatic music)

- I'll show Hannibal

that I am ready to become a monster agent, just like you.

(dramatic, orchestral music)

Come on, London, let's go catch a Frankenstein-er.

(dramatic, orchestral music)

(metal clanking)

(dramatic, orchestral music)

(thunder crashes) (rumbling)

(quiet, dramatic music) (rumbling thunder)

(door squeaks)

It's very dark.

(shuffling footsteps) (quiet, dramatic music)

(thunder booms) (Nelly gasps)

(quiet, dramatic music)

(London barking)

(dramatic, orchestral music)

(Nelly mutters)

Come on, London.

(quiet, dramatic music)

(leaves rustling) (labored breathing)

(thunder cracks)

(dramatic, foreboding music)

(creature growls)

(dramatic, foreboding music) (Nellie grunts)

(werewolf growling) (dramatic, foreboding music)

(quiet, dramatic music) (werewolf snarling)

- Go away, ha! (werewolf growls)

Go, be gone!

(dramatic, orchestral music) (werewolf growling)

(werewolf howling) (dramatic, orchestral music)

(London whimpering)

- Just lie still.

- Where's London?

London, I thought you were--

- Lie still.

(London whimpers)

(gentle, soft music)

Try to rest.

(gentle, soft music)

(Nelly grunts softly)

(quiet, orchestral music)

(Nelly slurps)

(quiet, orchestral music)

(toy piano twinkles)

(quiet, orchestral music)

(creaking floorboards) (pattering footsteps)

Yes, here you go.

Yes.

Good doggy.

- Come, come here, London.

(dough thumps)

What are you baking?

(dough thumps)

Okay, but thanks for saving me from the werewolf.

And I'm sorry I tried to catch you yesterday.

So, can you tell me what you're going to be baking?

- Cookies.

Uh, cookies and jam.

I have the heart of a pastry chef.

- Tell me, are you really a Frankenstein-er girl?

- Hm.

(pastry roller rattling)

- [Nelly] So, I guess you live here.

I mean, how long have you live here?

Did they put you together here?

- I was born in the laboratory.

- [Nelly] In the laboratory?

- In the cellar.

- Can I see it?

- Okay.

(Vincent mimicking shooting)

(knocking at the door) (door squeaks open)

- Vincent.

- Hannibal.

(Vincent mimics shooting)

(Hannibal grunts) (Vincent laughs)

(Hannibal laughing)

It's gonna be a success, Total Care Center.

No more monsters in the house.

Are you with me? - Oh, absolutely.

(Hannibal chuckles) - Mm.

- I must say, it's great having gotten to know you.

May I invite you to have dinner with me

when all of this is over?

I'll take you to a little place

that specializes in serving a kind of pizza.

They have four Chinese dishes rolled into it, most unusual.

Sweet and sour sauce, nuts, deep fried prawns,

stir fried chicken, folded inside it like a surprise.

It's a sort of crossover kitchen.

- Know what, I'll book it now, right now.

- You really will?

- Yes.

Let's do it.

Let's do it tonight.

- [Lena-Sleva] Am I interrupting?

- Yes, a little.

- No, not at all, come in.

I'm booking a car to Total Care Center.

Let's do it.

- Okay.

- Have the car here at 7:00 p.m.

(Vincent claps hands)

- [Lena-Sleva] Have you seen Nelly?

(Hannibal mutters)

(paper rustling)

- [Roberta] My mom built me here

in the laboratory a long time ago.

- [Nelly] Is your name Roberta?

- [Roberta] Yes.

- My name's Nelly.

But the drawing is more than 100 years old.

Tell me, how old are you supposed to be?

- Old.

(gentle, dramatic music)

(buttons clicking)

(dramatic, orchestral music) (buzzing device)

(thunder rumbles)

- Come to mama.

Come.

Yes, go, careful, careful, you can do it.

(shrieks) Well done!

- [Roberta] My mother, the professor,

thought I was a beautiful child,

the most beautiful she had ever seen.

(cheerful, nostalgic music)

She wanted me to be normal and have a profession.

- This heart belonged to a very talented pastry chef.

Now you're going to learn to bake.

Won't that be nice?

- [Roberta] Mother had a lot of patience with me.

- Oh Roberta.

- Uh, mm.

It took me many years to learn to bake.

Mm.

- Oh my, (laughs) they're beautiful.

(Roberta mutters)

- [Roberta] We decided to open a cafe together.

(pattering footsteps)

But my mom had grown very old.

(labored breathing)

But I didn't.

(gentle, quiet music)

(Roberta crying quietly)

When she was no longer here,

everything became very quiet.

The cafe never opened.

- [Nelly] I don't have a mom either.

She died when I was little.

We never got to know each other at all.

- [Roberta] What is that?

- It's a, um um,

well, my mom was a,

hero to some people,

and they gave her this medal.

- You know, you look like her.

- I would like to be just like her.

But my dad wants me to be completely ordinary.

He always says, "Try to tone it down a bit, Nelly."

He's probably just worried I'll be all by my lonesome.

(gentle, quiet music)

Are you a sad girl?

Don't take this the wrong way, Roberta,

but I thought that you didn't have a link

between your heart and your brain.

That was in a book that I read, so,

of course I thought that you were

a really dangerous Frankenstein-er.

But I see I was wrong.

(Roberta sniffs)

Do you have any monster friends?

- [Roberta] Back in the 1980's, we used to have parties.

We loved to dance.

- [Nelly] But not anymore?

- [Roberta] No,

all monsters are quite different from each other,

but most of them want to be with their own kind.

- This is really so sad.

What if you end up having to be alone here

for another 100 years?

I think you should open your cafe.

'Cause it's your dream.

Your mom would be really happy about it.

You gotta dare to try.

People can change, and monsters too.

And Roberta, I'll be here to help you.

Let's see it.

(gentle, quiet music)

Welcome

to

Tea and Cakes

at Roberta's.

(gentle, quiet music)

(coffin clatters) (phone buzzing)

Is he a vampire?

- Mmhmm, mmhmm.

- [Lucas] Hi, it's Lucas.

Hi mom.

- [Roberta] Give me an invitation.

(invitation rustles) (girls giggle)

(upbeat, party music)

- That's Vanja, the werewolf you met in the forest.

- What?

The werewolf works at the hotdog stand?

- Yes, but the only time she's dangerous

is when the moon's full.

- [Nelly] Okay, let's invite her.

- [Woman Ghost] It's just a normal little pimple,

no one's going to notice it.

- Are you joking?

It looks like I have a flashing red light

in the middle of my face.

- Well excuse me,

but I don't think anyone's going to notice the pimple

when they see the knife in your stomach.

- Dearest God in Heaven, please, please,

remove this horrible blemish--

- Amen.

- What? - Quick, say amen.

- Amen. (gasps)

(ghost girl grunts) (ghosts poof)

(girls giggle)

(pattering footsteps) (girls giggling)

(clapping hands) (girls giggling)

- Come on, one more time.

(clapping hands) (cheerful, orchestral music)

(girls giggling) (clapping hands)

(candy clinking glass) (cheerful, orchestral music)

(Nelly yells playfully) (Roberta laughs)

(girls giggling) (cheerful, orchestral music)

(chandelier tinkling)

(crow cawing)

(Vincent sniffs) (hums)

(phone buzzing) (Vincent humming)

- [Vincent] Vincent speaking.

- Hi, it's Eva from Total Care Center.

They're not adjusting as planned.

They don't seem to feel quite well.

I can't put my finger on it.

- [Vincent] Okay, what's the problem?

- What if we took away too much of their brains?

- [Vincent] Nah, it's fine,

we're bringing the other bunch tonight.

- I'm worried that

we won't be able to release them into society.

- [Vincent] We have to eliminate the difficult ones.

(zombie mutters)

- [Eva] Eliminate?

- [Vincent] Yes, you know, chop chop.

- Are we going to kill them?

- [Hannibal] Vincent.

- Yeah? (clears throat)

- [Hannibal] We are ready downstairs.

- Very good.

Ready.

(dramatic, orchestral music)

- [Hannibal] Friends, we have monsters to catch.

Look for them everywhere.

- [Vincent] We're going to catch them all

and we're going to make them fit in.

Let's do it.

(Vincent laughing)

(Nelly sighs)

- [Roberta] That figures.

- I can get some more.

They've probably got some at the house.

- Hey wait.

- What's up?

Roberta, there's something I have to say.

- Hm?

- You see, I am,

well the truth is, I'm not,

not yet, but I'm hoping to become

maybe you'll call me a, something like,

if I'm chosen.

Just like my mom was.

Or-- - Tell me later.

The guests will be here soon.

Go get some more paint.

(quiet music) (beeping machine)

(door clatters)

(quiet, dramatic music)

- The hotdog stand is closed,

there's no sign of the werewolf, copy.

(knocking) Hm?

- Hotdog wrap with extra everything.

- It's closed, no one's here right now.

- Yeah, but you're here.

- I'm not.

- Come on.

- Okay, so what did you want again?

- Hotdog wrap with extra everything.

(window rattles)

(gentle, dramatic music) (beeping machine)

(baby gurgles)

(peaceful, organ music)

- What are you doing there?

- Uh, we're doing some work on the electricity.

We have a,

a, uh huh, there it is. (grunting)

- We are all gathered here today,

people,

the little one is being surprised,

I mean baptized and it will be named,

what name again?

- Extra everything. (spoon clatters)

(ingredients slopping)

And ice cream.

Pickled cucumber.

Hm. (shaker swishing)

(window rattles)

It's for you.

(window rattles)

- Empty. (gasps)

There's no one here,

so I'll just put the mail through this slot.

- That's usually where the mail is supposed to go.

- How are you doing?

- Soon finished.

The source of the problem is right here.

Uh, I just cut it off.

That does it, yeah.

- I say the name, with water on the head,

I baptize you-- - Who are you?

- [Corina] Corina.

- Uh-- - Corina Bergstrom.

Oh, that's my name.

(radio hisses) Woop, hold on.

(laughs) Yeah, I'm connected, I knew it.

With the Lord, the Lord.

Sometimes he contacts me,

but he's always so pushy.

Mm, hallelujah.

(gentle, quiet music) (machine beeping)

- [Lena-Sleva] Look here.

- Frankenstein-er.

- And here.

Human footprints, small feet.

- Ah, come.

(taps piano keys)

(distant wind quietly hissing)

(monster yawns)

- So you haven't heard of the Sisters of Mercy?

- [Mummy] Mm mm.

- Ah, mm, well, the first album

was First and Last and Always in 1985.

Flood land was released in 1987

and then Vision Thing in 1990.

(monster muttering)

- [Monster] This is dead boring, let's go.

- [Ghost Girl] Come on, maybe there's gonna be a party.

- Party, it sounds more like a funeral.

Our funeral was a lot more fun than this is.

- [Ghost Girl] But we haven't had a funeral.

- Oh, she doesn't know she's dead.

- Oops, yeah.

- Can you see my blemish?

- Yes, definitely.

(tapping glass)

- Uh, everyone, please help yourself to cookies.

- Finally. - Uh, excuse me,

but I don't understand what we're doing here.

- We're eating.

- [Ghost Woman] Okay.

- I've asked you all to come here tonight

because I'm thinking of opening

a small, but very friendly cafe.

- I see.

What's that got to do with us?

- Well, we thought that maybe

you would be interested in helping us out.

- Help out, I can cook hotdogs.

I'm good at eating, but I don't bake.

- Exactly who did you think would come to this cafe?

Other monsters, or what?

(laugh) Or did you think maybe some humans?

(group laughing)

- (sniffs) Hang on, I can smell something in the air.

- Werewolf.

- And ghosts too.

Everyone was heading in the same direction, here.

- I'll call Vincent.

Hannibal to Vincent.

- Nelly, wanna come, it's gonna be exciting.

- Why is that?

- We know there are monsters in the forest.

They're all gathered together and we're gonna catch them.

You've got agent blood in your veins.

Wanna come?

We're getting rid of them once and for all.

(gentle, dramatic music)

- Roberta. (grunts)

(items clatter)

(quiet, dramatic music)

- (clears throat) Here.

(monsters chattering quietly)

It's not blood.

I'm a vegan.

It's okay, I take these iron supplements, mmhmm.

My family doesn't understand why I don't drink blood.

They're like, "What's wrong, wanna be malnourished?"

Mm, I'm glad they moved to Transylvania.

- [Roberta] But not you?

- No, not my thing, never was.

The whole Dracula life, oh, living in an old castle,

wearing a cape, it's so not me.

But I would like to help out

with the cafe you were talking about.

- Hm.

- If you want. (Roberta chuckles)

- Me too.

I'm what you call a spoon licker.

(vampire chuckles)

- Thanks. (laughs)

- Should I put some music on?

- Sure. - Yeah, yeah?

- What's on your mind?

- My Nellie.

- [Werewolf] Who's that?

- My new friend. (giggles)

(dramatic, orchestral music) (labored breathing)

(humming engines) (dramatic music)

(quiet music)

- [Ghost Girl] Really bad song.

- [Ghost Woman] This is not helping.

- [Ghost Girl] It sounds sad.

- [Ghost Woman] This is going to make everybody leave.

(quiet music)

- [Ghost Girl] He should play something we can dance to.

Right.

- Nelly's in there.

Has she gathered them all together?

- Let me see.

Incredible.

- You need to get away, now!

I haven't got time to explain,

but some monster agents are coming to catch you.

Run, hurry up!

(groups panicking) (dramatic, foreboding music)

(quiet, dramatic music)

- (labored breathing) After her!

(dramatic, melancholy music)

(chains clinking) (dramatic, melancholy music)

- You have to let her go, she hasn't done anything.

- [Vincent] What, what do you mean?

Disgusting freak. (slams door)

- [Roberta] (grunting) Let me go!

- Nelly! (London barks)

Nelly!

Nelly!

Nelly-- (lock clicks)

Nelly (thumps door) Nelly,

what are you doing? (engine rumbles)

Nelly!

Nelly, Nelly! (thumps door)

(Roberta grunting)

- [Nelly] No, Roberta, don't!

(Roberta grunting) - Okay.

- Roberta, please stop.

- [Nelly] You've gotta stop.

(Roberta grunting) Roberta, please stop.

- Hey hey, Roberta, you've gotta stop.

Don't do anything stupid.

(train whistle shrieks) Hey hey,

I'll make you beautiful.

You're a monster, but I can fix that.

- Please Roberta, don't do it.

(Vincent whimpers) You're my friend, Roberta,

my only true friend.

(Roberta grunting) (Vincent panicking)

I really like you.

Don't do it, please please don't do it.

Please Roberta, do it for me, you're my friend.

(gentle, somber music)

(train whistle wails) (Vincent shrieks)

(Roberta grunts) (whistle wailing)

(train clattering)

(gentle, somber music)

I'm sorry, I should have told you everything.

I'm sorry.

Come on.

(gentle, somber music)

I thought I wanted to be a monster agent, just like you,

just like my mom,

but if that means that anyone who's different

isn't allowed to exist,

that you're not allowed to exist,

that changed my mind.

(medal clinks)

(gentle, somber music)

(Lena-Sleva sighs)

- (sighs) Why--

(car door thumps)

- Look out!

(weapon clicks) (people gasp)

(Hannibal grunting)

- Hannibal,

you're just a fricken coward!

(Hannibal grunts)

(fist thumps) (Vincent grunts)

(Vincent muttering)

What are you staring at?

Stop staring at me! (crying)

I'm not afraid of you.

I don't need you, I don't need any of you, get it?

Freaking monster huggers.

No, you don't even get it,

you don't understand what we're doing!

You have no idea how fantastic it could be.

You blithering idiots!

I'm surrounded by blithering idiots!

How am I supposed to build something great

when everyone around me is a total idiot, huh?

Huh?

You're all crazy, just plain nuts!

I thank you.

(pattering footsteps) (Vincent spits)

(Vincent mutters)

- [Hannibal] He's actually a bit of uh,

what did you call him?

- [Lena-Sleva] Drama queen.

- [Hannibal] (chuckles) Exactly, a drama queen.

- [Lena-Sleva] Well my dear fellow agents,

what does it in fact mean to be different?

What does it mean to be normal?

Am I normal?

- No. - Yes, I would say that I am.

Hannibal is normal.

No way, I'm not talking about just his appearance,

his whole personality is just strange, be that as it may.

Perhaps that also explains why I like him so much.

- Thank you, Lena-Sleva.

(quiet, gentle music)

Our mission is to protect the world from monsters

and monsters from the world,

but not to decide who is allowed to exist in the world.

Nelly Rapp, come here.

(sighs) You're small,

but your heart is big

and all of your actions have reminded each of us

of who we really want to be.

There ought to be more monster agents

and more people like you.

And therefore, I hope, with all my heart,

that you will want to wear your very own agent badge.

(sighs) And you'll wear it with pride.

- Yeah.

- You're a monster agent.

(group applauding) (inspiring, orchestral music)

- Hey. (grunts)

Oh, oh I've missed you so much. (grunts) (sighs)

Is everything okay?

- Yeah, yes you should know one thing, Lennart,

Nelly is, she is an incredible person.

- Oh.

Hey, what's this?

- I thought she should have one of those like Alice had.

It's a family tradition.

Huh, thanks for the week.

Oh. (laughs)

We'll keep in touch, huh?

(Lena-Sleva laughs)

- Sweetie, if you ever need me,

you'll know where to find me.

Hide it.

(paper rustles)

Oh. (giggles)

Take care, sweetie.

(door clatters)

- [Dad] Hop in.

Oh, watch your tail.

(door thumps)

- [Lena-Sleva] Bye bye.

- Well,

so it's just the two of us here again. (laughs)

Yeah. (grunting)

(gentle, slow music) (singing foreign lyrics)

- [Nelly] Turn off here.

- [Dad] Here, why?

- [Nelly] I'm gonna show you something.

- [Dad] What is this place?

- [Nelly] I have a friend here, I wanna say goodbye.

Come on.

- [Dad] Really, a friend?

- Welcome, come in. (rattling chains)

- Ooo, come in if you dare.

(group laughs)

- Such realistic costumes, fantastic.

Boing boing. (chuckles)

- Oh. (haunted moaning)

(knocks on coffin)

(door creaks) (creepy laughing)

- (laughs) Vampires can't stand the sunlight. (laughs)

- Oh yeah, says you.

(cheerful music) (London barks)

- Nelly!

- This is my friend, Roberta, and this is papa.

- Ah, Lennart.

Really fantastic concept.

So you're stitched together from different body parts?

I must say, it looks great.

- It's lucky that it's just a fake one, right? (growls)

Hotdog?

- Eh, no thanks, I'm fine.

- Come on.

- Scary teeth, really scary, very realistic.

Well I think I'm gonna have to try something.

Now, what's this, oh fingers with blood.

Yeah, I'll have to have one of those.

- His hearing is bad, help yourself.

(clanking dishes)

You can have a whole hand, Lennart.

- [Dad] And I think I'll also take a meringue.

- [Werewolf] Why not take two?

(distant cheery music)

(door clatters)

- Here, I thought that you might wanna have this.

You are my friend, Nelly,

even though you're trying to be a monster agent.

I know your mom would have been proud of you.

- And your mom too.
