MIKE: Guys, one slip-up on the next event, and we're goners. So for this to work, I'm gonna need you to take every instinct¹ you have, and bury it deep, deep down.

ART: Done.

MIKE: From now on, we are of one mind—My mind.

SULLEY: Oh, please.

MIKE: I will tell you exactly what to do and how to do it.

ART (OK): Ah, OK./All right./Seems about right./Sure.

MIKE: All right, give me scary² steps. 50 up and down. Right now, let's go.

SULLEY: You're wasting your time. We need a new team.

MIKE: Huh. We can't just get a new team. I checked this morning. It's against the rules.

SULLEY: What if we disguise³ /dɪsˈgaɪz/ a new team to look like the old team?

MIKE: Oh no, no, no, no. We are not cheating.

SULLEY: It's not cheating. I'm just, you know, leveling the playing field. Okay, so it's kind of cheating. But what do you want me to do? They're not exactly the scariest⁴ group in the world.

SQUISHY (OK): Oh, a Ladybug! Make a wish! Make a wish!

SULLEY: This is not gonna work.

MIKE: Where are you going? We're training.

SULLEY: I'm a Sullivan.

MIKE: That's not enough. You're all over the place. You're charging ahead. When you need to—

SULLEY: Bup, bup, bup. You tell them what to do, but not me. So long, coach.

MIKE: Okay, Oozmas. Ah! Boy, we need to get you a bell. Listen up! "If a kid hears you coming, they'll call mom or dad. Then you better run fast, or things will get bad."

ART: Huh?

MIKE: In the next event, if even one of us gets caught, we're all out! So remember, do exactly what I do.
