[Edd is at a Ring Toss. He throws one of the rings at a bottle and misses by a mile.]

Eddy: "Hey useless!" [Eddy is in a standee.] "Put those rings down and take a load off your eyes!"

Edd: "Ha ha ha, very funny, Eddy. But in order to attract a crowd, one needs to demonstrate the use of these archaic arcade games."

Eddy: "Is that what you're trying to do?

Nat: "Let me try."

[Edd gives Nat the ring. She tosses it and it lands on the bottle.]

Nat: "How was that?"

Edd: "Most impressive."

Eddy: "Step aside, let the pro demonstrate." [He starts the Whak-a-Ed machine.]

Ed: "Whack me! Whack me whack me! Whack me!" [Ed dodges each attempt.]

Eddy: "Hold still, Lumpy, so I can hitcha!"

Edd: [sarcastic] "Bravo well done, Eddy. You've convinced me! Your skill and expertise at mundane, misleading and moth-ridden carnival games makes me want to throw caution to the wind and give you all my money."

Eddy: "You're making fun of me, aren't ya–"

Ed: "MONSTER! I want to be a monster!" [He breaks free of the game, slamming Eddy into the strength tester, and runs towards a mural with a monster drawn on it. He puts his head through the monster and growls.] "Look at me! I am a monster!" [He grunts again.] "I am just a monster in a boy's body."

Edd: "If only for a day I could enjoy the serenity of Ed's world."

Nat: "Wouldn't that be nice."

Eddy: "Hey!" [He goes over to Ed.] "Why do you always have to WRECK EVERYTHING!"

[Eddy leaps on Ed, and they begin to fight.]

Nat: "Guys please stop."

Ed: "But Eddy, I just wanna be a monster!"

Edd: "I was quite enamored by Ed's impersonation, Eddy."

Eddy: "What're ya flappin your gums about now?"

Edd: "Humor me. What if Ed really was a monster? Think about it. Ed's overactive imagination could attract customers, Eddy."

Nat: "I agree."

Eddy: "I SAID I–" [He understands.] "Customers are practically suckers! I like that."

Ed: "Monster for Ed, good I will be."

[Edd is working on Ed's monster costume.]

Eddy: [sourly] "You better not mess this up, Lumpy."

Ed: [excited] "I will be the best monster I can be, Eddy!"

Edd: "I am sure you will, Ed. Now try this on." [He puts the head on the costume.]

Ed: "Wow. I feel transformed, guys." [Edd, Nat and Eddy giggle.]

Eddy: "Hey, look! Ed's got a chin!"

Edd: "I'll just go get a mirror, Ed. You look very convincing!"

[Edd enters the house. Ed's gaze falls on Eddy and stays there.]

Eddy: "You're a natural, Ed. You shoulda been born a monster."

[In Ed's mind, several monstrous growls are heard as his vision begins to take on a red tint.]

Eddy: [impatient] "Man, what's he doing, making a mirror?" [to Ed] "What's with you?"
