Ginormica: Honey, could you hit the snooze? Baby, why did you set the alarm? We're on our honeymoon. Hello? What's going on?
[whirring]
Ginormica: Hello? [gasping then picks up a tiny chair]
B.O.B.: Is it just legs? Did they capture a giant pair of legs?
[Susan walks towards the voice she hears]
Dr. Cockroach: Silence, B.O.B.! She'll hear us!
B.O.B.: How? Legs don't have ears.
Dr. Cockroach: Just shush!
Ginormica: Hello? Is there someone there? Could you please tell me where I am? Hello? What was that?
Dr. Cockroach: Hello.
Ginormica: Ew!
[Susan tries to hit Dr cockroach with spoon🤣]
Dr. Cockroach: Will you stop...?! Careful! Please, madam! Stop! Doing! That! Whatever mad scientist made you, he really went all out.
Ginormica: You can talk.
[Susan slips and falls to the floor caused by a sticky blue material on her shoe the suddenly began to talk]
B.O.B.: Hi, there!
Ginormica:Eww!!
B.O.B.:My back! Just kidding! I don't have a back!
Dr. Cockroach: Forgive him, but as you can see, he has no brain.
B.O.B.: Turns out you don't need one. Totally overrated! As a matter of fact, I don't even... I forgot how to breathe! Don't know how to breathe! Help me, Dr. Cockroach! Help!
Dr. Cockroach: Suck in, B.O.B.
B.O.B.: Thanks, Doc. You're a lifesaver.
Missing Link: Wow, look at you. I know what you're thinking. First day in prison, you want to take down the toughest guy in the yard. Well, I'd like to see you try. [Link does random ninja moves] Ninja! Gosh. Look, she's speechless.
B.O.B.: She?
Dr. Cockroach: Yes, B.O.B.! We are in the presence of the rare female monster.
B.O.B.: No way! It's a boy. Look at his boobies.
Missing Link: We need to have a talk.
Dr. Cockroach: Gentlemen, I'm afraid we are not making a very good first impression.
Missing Link: At least I'm talking. First new monster in years, we couldn't get a wolf man or a mummy. Just, you know, somebody to play cards with.
Dr. Cockroach: Might we ask your name, madam?
Ginormica: Susan.
B.O.B.: No, no, no. We mean like your monster name. Like, what do people scream when they see you coming? You know, like, "Look out! Here comes...!"
Ginormica: Susan.
Dr. Cockroach: Really?
B.O.B.: Susan! Ooh. I just scared myself. That is scary.
[beeping]
Missing Link: Yes! Eat times.
Dr. Cockroach: That is repulsive! An old slipper!
Ginormica: Oh, please, God, tell me this isn't real. Please tell me I had a nervous breakdown at the wedding, and now I'm in a mental hospital on medication that's giving me hallucinations.
[Susan suddenly feels something behind her and looks up as Insectosaurus roared]
[screaming]
Missing Link: Don't scare Insectosaurus! He's gonna pee himself, then we'll all be in trouble.
Ginormica: Every room has a door! There's gotta be a door here! Where's the door?
Missing Link: It's OK, buddy. Don't worry about it. Who's a handsome bug, huh? You like it when I rub your tummy?
Ginormica: Please! Somebody! I don't belong here! Let me out!!
Missing Link: Hey, hey, that is not a good idea.
Ginormica: Let me out!!!
General W.R. Monger: Monsters, get back in your cells.
Ginormica: Oh, thank goodness. A real person. You are a real person, right? Not one of those half-person, half-machine, you know, whatever you call those things.
General W.R. Monger: A cyborg?
Ginormica: Oh, no! You're a cyborg?!
General W.R. Monger: Madam, I assure you, I am not a cyborg. The name is General W.R. Monger. I'm in charge of this facility. Now, follow me. It's time for your orientation. In 1950, it was decided that Jane and Joe Public could not handle the truth about monsters, and should focus on more important things, like paying taxes. So the government convinced the world monsters were stuff of myth and legend and then locked them away in this year facility.
Ginormica: But I'm not a monster! I'm just a regular person. I'm not a danger to anyone or anything.
[explosion]
Greg: Don't let her get me!
Ginormica: Sorry.
[mooing]
Ginormica: How long will I be here?
General W.R. Monger: Indefinitely.
Ginormica: Can I contact my parents?
General W.R. Monger: No.
Ginormica: Derek?
General W.R. Monger: Negative.
Ginormica: Do you know where I am?
General W.R. Monger: No, and they never will! This place is an X file, wrapped in a cover-up and deep-fried in a paranoid conspiracy. There will be zero with the outside world.
Missing Link: ...seven, eight. 999, 1,000. I can't believe I did ten sets.
[B.O.B. laughing]
Dr. Cockroach: Susan! You wouldn't happen to have any uranium on you? I just need a smidge.
General W.R. Monger: Rescind Dr. Cockroach's toy box privileges immediately. We had the prison psychologist redecorate your cell. Try to keep you all calm-like.
Ginormica: But I don't want a poster. I want a real kitten hanging from a real tree. I want to go home.
General W.R. Monger: Oh. Come on, little Debbie, please don't cry. It makes my knees hurt. Don't think of this as a prison. Think of it as hotel you never leave because it's locked from the outside! Oh, and one other thing. The government has changed your name to Ginormica.
[Susan gasp and began to cry in the corner, in the dark,all alone.She couldn't believe this was really happening to her.Everyone and everything she ever knew and loved was gone.]
