HOST 1: Okay, relax. We have a special guest, the founder¹ of the games, Dean Hardscrabble.

DEAN: Good afternoon. As a student, I created these games as a friendly competition. But be prepared, to take home the trophy², you must be the most fearsome /'fiəsəm/ monsters on campus. So good luck, and may the best monsters win.

HOST 2: All right everybody, we're closing down sign-ups so we'll see you all...

MIKE: Wait! I'm signing up!

[Monsters laughing]

HOST 1: Uh… You have to be in a fraternity /frəˈtɜːrnɪtɪ/ to compete.

MIKE: Behold³! The next winning fraternity of the Scare Games, the brothers, my brothers, of Oozma Kappa!

SQUISHY: Hi.

DEAN: Mr. Wazowski, what are you doing?

MIKE: You just said the winners are the most fearsome monsters on campus. If I win, it means you kicked out the best scarer in the whole school.

DEAN: That won't happen.

MIKE: How about a little wager⁴? If I win,you let me back in the Scaring Program.

DEAN: And what would that prove?

MIKE: That you were wrong.

DEAN: Very well. If you win I will let your entire team into the Scare Program. But if you lose, you will leave Monsters University.

MIKE: Deal.

DEAN: Now all you need to do is find enough members to compete.

MIKE: We need 6 guys, right?

HOST 2: Sorry, Chief. We count bodies, not heads. That dude counts as one.

MIKE: Any-Anybody else wanna join our team? Anyone at all?

RANDY: Excuse me, sorry, I'm late, can I just squeeze by...

MIKE: Randy! Randy, thank goodness! I needyou on my team!

RANDY: Oh, sorry. I'm already on a team!

RΩR: Boggs.

RANDY: I'm finally in with the cool kids, Mike,don't blow this for me.

RΩR: Do the thing. [Randy turns invisible] Oh, where did he go?

MIKE: Please anybody? I need one moremonster, just one more!

HOST 1: Yeah, sorry, doesn't look good. Wehave to move on. Your team doesn't qualify.

SULLEY: Yes, it does. The star player has just arrived.

MIKE: No way! Someone else! Please, anyone else!

HOST 1: We're shutting down sign-ups, okay?Is he on your team, or not?
