Sulley : [is fighting the invisible Randall when he is hit with a snowball] Mike?
Mike : Look, it's not that I don't care about the kid.
Sulley : Mike, you don't understand.
Mike : Yes, I do. I was just mad, that's all. I needed some time to think, but you shouldn't have left me out there.
Sulley : I'm being attacked!
Mike : No, I'm not attacking you. I'm trying to be honest, just hear me out. You and I are a team. Nothing is more important than our friendship.
[Boo approaches Mike, frightened]
Mike : I-I know, kid. He's too sensitive.
Mike : [Sulley is being strangled] Come on, pal. If you start crying, I'm gonna cry, and I'll never get through this. I'm sorry I wasn't there for you, but I am now. Hey, Sulley, I am baring my soul here. The least you can do is pay attention!
[Throws snowball; it hits Randall, making him visible enough for Sulley to knock him out]
Mike : Hey, look at that, it's Randall. It's... Oh.
-
[Boo, scared of the closet, shows Sully a picture]
Sulley : Hey, that looks like Randall. Randall's your monster. You think he's gonna come out of the closet and scare you?
[Opens closet and walks inside]
Sulley : Look, it's empty. No monster in here. Okay, NOW there is. I'm not gonna scare you. I'm off duty.
-
Sulley : How can I do this? How could I be so stupid? This could ruin the company.
Mike : The company? Who cares about the company? What about us? That thing is a KILLING MACHINE!
[points at Boo, who is babbling harmlessly]
Mike : I bet it's waiting for us to fall asleep, and then - bam! Oh, we're easy prey, my friend. Easy prey! We're sitting targets!
-
Henry J. Waternoose : This has gone far enough, James.
Sulley : She's home now. Just leave her alone!
Henry J. Waternoose : I can't do that, James. She's seen too much. You both have.
Sulley : It doesn't have to be this way.
Henry J. Waternoose : I have no choice! Times have changed. Scaring isn't enough anymore.
Sulley : But kidnapping children?
Henry J. Waternoose : I'll kidnap a thousand children before I let this company die, and I'll silence anyone who gets in my way!
[Waternoose knocks Sulley to the ground and lunges at Boo]
Sulley : No!
[Waternoose instead finds the simulated child]
Voice : Simulation terminated. Simulation terminated...
Henry J. Waternoose : [confused] Huh? But... What?
[the lights come on and it's revealed that Boo's room is really the simulation room; Mike and several CDA agents are standing behind the console]
Mike : I don't know about you guys, but I spotted several big mistakes. You know what? Let's watch my favorite part again, shall we?
[replays the tape of Waternoose over and over]
-
Sulley : Mike, that's not her door.
Mike : What are you talking about? Of course it's her door. It's her door.
Sulley : No. Her door was white and it had flowers on it.
Mike : No. It must've dark last night because this is its door.
[opens the door. A bright light and polka music emanate from the room]
Mike : [to Boo] You hear that? Sounds like fun in there. Well, see ya kid. Send me a postcard. That's Mike Wazowski, care of 22 Mike Wazowsi-You-Got-Your-Life-Back-Lane.
Boo : Mowki Kowski.
Mike : Very good. Now bon voyage. See ya.
[waves a stick in front of Boo as if she were a dog]
Mike : Look at the stick. See the stick?
[throws the stick through the door]
Mike : Go get the stick. Go fetch.
-
Yeti : You wanna go to the village? Okay, rule number one out here: Always... no, Never go out in a blizzard.
Sulley : We need to get to Boo.
[a snowcone gets thrown at Sulley from off-screen. The Yeti points at Mike]
Mike : Boo? What about us?
[Throws another snowcone]
Mike : Ever since that kid came in, you've ignored everything I've said, and now look where we are!
[Throws another snowcone]
Mike : Oh, we were about to break the record, Sulley. We would've had it made!
Sulley : None of that matters now.
Mike : None of it matters?
[Drops the snowcone he was about to throw onto the floor]
Mike : Wa-wait a second. None of it matters? Oh, okay, that's - no. Good. Great. So now the truth comes out, doesn't it?
Yeti : Oh, would you look at that? We're out of snowcones. Let me... just go outside and make some more.
[Leaves]
Mike : Sulley, what about everything we ever worked for? Does that matter? Huh? What about Celia? I am never... never gonna see her again. Doesn't that matter? What about me? I'm your pal, I'm-I'm your best friend. Don't I matter?
Sulley : I'm sorry, Mike. I'm sorry we're stuck out here. I didn't mean all this to happen. But Boo's in trouble. I think there might be a way to save her if we can just get down to that...
Mike : We? Whoa, whoa. We? No. There's no we this time, pal. If-if-if you wanna go out there and freeze to death, you be my guest, because you're on your own.
-
Sulley : Mike, this isn't Boo's door.
Mike : Boo? What's Boo?
Sulley : That's... what I decided to call her. Is there a problem?
Mike : Sulley, you're not supposed to name it. Once you name it, you start getting attached to it. Now put that thing back where it came from or so help me...
[pauses, realizing that they suddenly have the attention of the entire scare floor]
Mike : Oh, hey. We're rehearsing a - a scene for the upcoming company play called uh, Put That Thing Back Where It Came From Or So Help Me. It's a musical.
[singing]
Mike : Put that thing back where it came from or so help me... so help me, so help me and cut. We're still working on it, it's a work in progress but, hey, we need ushers.
-
Yeti : Abominable. Can you believe that? Do I look abominable to you? Why can't they call me the Adorable Snowman, or the Agreeable Snowman, for crying out loud? I'm a nice guy. Snow cone?
Mike : Yuck.
Yeti : No, no, no, don't worry. It's lemon. How about you Big Fella? Snow cone?
Sulley : [Feeling sad after accidentally Scaring Boo at the Scare Simulator] Did you see the way she looked at me?
-
Mike : Get out of here. You're ruining everything.
Sulley : I went back to get your paperwork and there was a door.
Mike : What? A door?
Sulley : Randall was in it.
Mike : Wait a minute, Randall? That cheater! He's trying to boost his numbers.
Sulley : There's something else.
Mike : What?
Sulley : Ook-lay in the ag-bay.
Mike : What?
Sulley : Look in the bag.
Mike : [the Bag Sulley carried over with Boo inside is missing] What bag?
-
Mike : Look at the big jerk. He ruined my life, and for what? A STUPID KID! Because of you, I am stuck in this frozen wasteland!
Yeti : Wasteland? I think you mean "Wonderland"! I mean, how about all this fabulous snow, huh? Oh, and wait until you see the local village, cutest thing in the world. I haven't mentioned all the free yak's milk.
Sulley : Wh... What did you say?
Yeti : Yak's milk. Milking a yak ain't exactly a picnic; but once you pick the hairs out, it's very nutritious.
Sulley : No, No. Something about a Village. Are there any Kids there?
Yeti : Oh, sure. Tough kids, sissy kids, kids who climb on rocks...
Sulley : Where is it?
Yeti : Bottom of the Mountain. A 3 Day hike from here.
Sulley : 3 Days? We need to get there NOW.
[Sulley bangs his fists against the wall in Frustration. A fallen icicle rolls over to a Toboggan and Lantern over in the corner, which could help him get down the mountain quickly]
-
Mike : Oh, you should have seen the look on Waternoose's face when that wall went up. Woo-hoo! I hope we get a copy of that tape. Hey, you all right? Come on, we did it. We got Boo home. Sure, we put the company in the toilet, and, gee, hundreds of people will be out of work now, not to mention the angry mob that'll come after us when there's no more power... but hey, at least we had a few laughs, right?
Sulley : [Having had an idea, from seeing what Boo's laughing could do] Laughs!
-
[Boo, in disguise, walks up to Mr. Waternoose]
Henry J. Waternoose : Well hello, little one. Where did you come from?
Sulley : Mr. Waternoose.
Henry J. Waternoose : Ah, James. Is this one yours?
Sulley : Ah, actually that's my uh, cousin's sister's daughter, sir.
Mike : Yeah, it's uh, "Bring an Obscure Relative to Work Day".
Henry J. Waternoose : Hmm, must have missed the memo.
-
[Boo's laugh made all the lights go out]
Sulley : What was that?
Mike Wazowski : I have no idea. But it would be a really good idea if it didn't do it again.
-
Sulley : [Sulley and Mike have just been banished to the Himalayas on Earth - Sulley opens the door to find nothing beyond it] BOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Sulley : [Opens and closes door, pushes frame, nothing happens] No, no! No, no, no, no, NO!
Mike : It's too late! We're banished, genius! We're in the human world! Oh, what a great idea; goin' to your old pal Waternoose! Too bad he was in on the whole thing! All you hadda do, was listen to me, just once! But you didn't, did you?
[Sulley continues to fret in the doorway]
Mike : YOU'RE STILL NOT LISTENING!
[Mike jumps at Sulley in Frustration sending them down a hill. Then they get Company]
Yeti : Welcome to the Himalayas.
-
Sulley : Oh. So *that's* puce.

[Sulley's alarm clock clicks, and Mike impersonates the radio announcer]
Mike : Hey, good morning, Monstropolis. It's now five after the hour of 6:00 A.M. in the big monster city. Temperature's a balmy 65 degrees, which is good news for you reptiles, and it looks like it's gonna be a perfect day to maybe, hey, just lie in bed, sleep in, or simply... Work out that flab that's hanging over the bed! Get up, Sulley!
[honks a horn right in Sulley's face; Sulley wakes up and screams, then starts working out]
Sulley : I don't believe I ordered a wake-up call, Mikey.
Mike : Hey, less talk, more pain, marshmellow boy!
-
Mike : Hey, genius. Wanna know why I bought the car?
Sulley : Not really.
Mike : To drive it! You know, like on the street? With the honk-honk and the vroom-vroom, and the no walking involved?
Sulley : Wah, wah, wah. Will you give it a rest, butterball? C'mon, you could use the exercise.
Mike : I could use the exercise? Look at you. You have your own climate.
-
Needleman : Hey, Mr. Sullivan!
Sulley : Guys, I told you, call me Sulley.
Smitty : [Giggling] I don't think so.
Needleman : We just wanted to wish you good luck today.
Mike : Hey, hey, hey, hey. Come on, get lost, you two. You're making him lose his focus.
Needleman : Oh, sorry.
Sulley : See you later, fellas.
Smitty : Go get 'em, Mr. Sullivan!
Needleman : Quiet! You're making him lose his focus.
Smitty : Oh, no. Sorry!
Needleman : Shut up!

Mike : You know, I am so romantic, sometimes I think I should just marry myself.
Sulley : Give me a break, Mike.
Mike : What a night of romance I got ahead of me. Tonight it's about me and Celia. Ooh, the Love Boat is about to set sail. Toot-toot! Cause I gotta tell you, buddy, that face of hers , it just makes my heart go...

Mike : Yikes!

Sulley : [Boo is sleeping in Sulley's Bed] Hey that's my bed, you're gonna get your germs all over it.
-
Mike : Come on, the coast is clear. Ok, all we have to do is get rid of that thing, so wait here while I get its cardkey.
Sulley : But she can't stay here this is the men's room.
[pause]
Mike : That is the weirdest thing you have ever said. Its fine, it's ok! Look, it loves it here, its dancing with joy!
[Boo needs to 'go' badly and is struggling to hold it in]
Mike : I'll be right back with its door key.
Sulley : [laughs] That's a cute little dance you got. Almost looks like you gotta - Oh.
-
Sulley : [singing to Boo to get her to stop crying] Oh, he's a happy bear, and he's not crying, and neither should you, or we'll be in trouble, 'cause they're gonna find us...

Charlie : [Trying to reassure George, who is in crutches after too many encounters with the CDA] Now, George, I know you can do this. I picked out an easy door for you, in Nepal. Nice, quiet Nepal.
George Sanderson : You know, you're right. Here, Take this.
[Give Charlie his crutches]
Charlie : Go get 'em, Georgie.
[as George walks to the door, Sulley bursts through, knocks George over]
Sulley : Gangway! Look out! Coming through! Sorry, George.
Charlie : Hey, you can't just...
[Sees a sock on George]
Charlie : Twenty-three nine...!
[George grabs Charlie, stuffs the sock in his mouth and tosses him into the door, then walks away humming happily]

[Sulley enters the Scare Simulator room with Mike and Boo in her costume, willing to ask for help which can send Boo home, forgetting Waternoose had been expecting him]
Sulley : Mr. Waternoose?
Henry J. Waternoose : James! You're just in time. OK Gentleman. It's time for you to see how scaring really works.
[Mike picks up Boo and walks away]
Sulley : But sir, I just wanted to ask...
[the lights go out, as if it's nighttime, and the Simulator Child goes to sleep]
Boo : [Excited to watch Sulley] Kitty!
Mike : No Boo. I wouldn't...
Henry J. Waternoose : Now, give us a a Great Big Roar.
Sulley : Sir, can I just...
Henry J. Waternoose : Roar!
Sulley : But sir...
Henry J. Waternoose : ROAR!
[Sulley without choice, lunges out at the Simulator Child and lets out a load roar, causing it to scream. Little did he know that Boo was standing close by, watching in horror]
Henry J. Waternoose : [Applauds] Well done James. Well done. Well Gentleman, I hope you've all learnt a valuable lesson...
[Sulley notices Boo run off crying, terrified from his roar]

Randall : So, how about this kid getting loose? Crazy, huh?
Sulley : Uh, yeah, crazy.
Randall : Word on the street is the kid has been traced to the factory. Know anything about that?
Sulley : Uh, no, uh...
Mike : No, no way. But if it was an inside job, I'd put my money on Waxford.
Randall : Waxford?
Mike : Yeah, works over in sector 6, he's got those shifty eyes.
Randall : Hey, Waxford!
-
Sulley : The power's out. Make her laugh again.
Mike : All right, I got a move here, it'll bring down the house. Up!
[Does a backflip, lands on his crotch]
Sulley : Oh, sorry, she didn't see that.
Mike : What? What'd you do, forget to check if her stupid hood was up, you big dope?
Sulley : Uncle Mike, try not to yell in front of her. You know we still need her to laugh.

Mike : Funny, right? Huh? With the... These are the jokes, kid.

Randall : What?
Fungus : [Points at the Leaderboard] Look!
[Randall has scored enough points to overtake Sulley and take the lead on the Leaderboard]
Celia : [Over PA] Attention everyone! We have a New Scare Leader. Randall Boggs.
[a Huge Crowd forms around an overjoyed Randall to Congratulate him, only the Sulley to overtake him and once again be at the top not long later]

Rex : Rrroooaaarrr!
Unknown Offscreen Character : Cut!

Rex : How was that? Was I scary? Do I get the part? Can I do it again? I can be taller.

Henry J. Waternoose : James, this company has been in my family for three generations. I would do anything to keep it from going under.
Sulley : So would I, sir.
Henry J. Waternoose : Say, I could use your help with something.
Sulley : Anything, sir.
Henry J. Waternoose : You see, we've recently hired some new recruits, and frankly, they're... um...
Sulley : Inexperienced?
Henry J. Waternoose : Oh, they stink!
Sulley : Uh-huh.
Henry J. Waternoose : I thought you could drop by the simulator tomorrow and give them a little scare demonstration, show them what it takes to be our top scarer.
Sulley : I'll start with the old Waternoose Jump-and-Growl.
[Jumps and growls]
Henry J. Waternoose : [Startled] Oh! Ha ha! That's my boy.

Sulley : Hey, did you lose weight, or a limb?
-
Randall : [to Sulley, hanging on from a door] Look at everybody's favorite scarer now, you stupid, pathetic waste!
[starts stomping on Sulley's fingers]
Randall : You've been number one for too long, Sullivan. Now your time is up. And don't worry, I'll take good care of the kid.
[Just then Boo jumps on Randall and attacks him with a baseball bat; Sulley climbs back on and restrains Randall]
Boo : Roar! Roar!
Sulley : She's not scared of you any more.
Boo : Roar!
Sulley : Looks like you're out of a job.

Henry J. Waternoose : What a day.
Sulley : It's just a rough patch, sir. Everyone knows you'll get us through it.
Henry J. Waternoose : Tell that to the board of directors.

Sulley : [Hugging Boo, who wandered off with a Group of Little Monsters] Boo, I was so worried. Don't you ever run off like that again Young Lady.
Babysitter : Aww, what a nice father.
Sulley : Actually she's my Cousin's Sisters Daughter.
Baby Smitty : Mike Wazowski!
Mike : Hi there, shoo shoo.
[Smitty bites Mike's hand]
Mike : YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Sulley : Stop making Boo laugh!
Mike : I didn't!

[From the Teaser Trailer]
Mike : [Holding a Hula Hoop around him] Hey, guess which planet I am.
[Spins in Circles]
Sulley : [Walks to the door] I'm gonna go check on the Donuts.
Mike : [as Sulley closes the door] Don't you even get it, you big Fur Rug?
[Growling is heard]
Mike : Oh, nice doggy. Nice *Big* Doggie.
Mike : [Struggling to open the Closet Door] Sulley, open the door. Open the door.
