Roy: Yes!

Kids:
Esme and Roy!

Esme:
"Noisy Naptime."

Roy:
Esme, look.
I made a new invention.

It's called...
"pillow ears"!

Now I can nap
wherever I want.

Watch.

[ snoring ]

[ giggles ] Pillow ears!

I like them.

- What was that?
- I said, "I like them"!

What?! It's hard to hear

with pillows over my ears!

I said,

"I... like... them"!
- [ flustered yelp ]

Um, Esme, you're
being kinda loud.

[ giggles ] Roy.

- [ music playing ]
- [ gasps ]

We've got
a monster to watch.

[ gasps ] Today we're
watching Hugo and Fig.

- Yay!
- Hooray!

[ honking ]

- Let's go!
- [ chuckles ]

Roy:
Morning!

Oh. We're here.

Esme, can I ring
the doorbell this time?

Sure, big guy.

[ horn blows ]

Oh, one of these days,

we got to get
our own chimney horn.

Esme. Roy.

Hi, Mr. Ooga.

- Hi, Baby Fig.
- Hi, hi.

[ yawns ]

Looks like somebody's
ready for their nap.

Really?
But I just took a nap.

Oh... [ chuckles ]

You mean Fig.

[ chuckles ]
Come on in, guys.

- [ Fig yawns ]
- OK, Figgles. It's naptime.

- Bye, bye.
- See you later.

Esme. Roy.
You're here!

Hi, Hugo.

I wanna play you
a song I made up.

I call it...

"Esme and Roy are

the best monster-sitters ever,"

and it goes a little something

like this. [ clears throat ]

[ inhales ]

[ plays kazoo-like music ]

Wow, Hugo,
that was spectac--

[ Hugo continues playing ]

I really like how it--

[ continues playing ]

Ahem. I'm done.

- Bravo! Hooray!
- Hooray!

Well, I'm off
to Ooga scuba class.

Hugo, try to stay quiet
so Fig can sleep,

OK, buddy?

OK.

Don't worry.
We'll make sure

everyone is nice and quiet.

You won't hear a peep--

[ duck squeaks ]

Uh... starting now.

[ chuckles ]
See you guys soon.

- See you later.
- Bye, Dad.

See you later. Have fun.

OK, Hugo. Let's do
something nice and quiet.

To the monster case.

Wanna play Tic-Splat-Toe?

Make slime sculptures?

[ gasps ] We could play
with monster dolls--

[ doll emits crying sound ]

Oops--

...with the sound off.

I have an idea.
Let's put on a big show.

Spotlight.

It'll have lights
and music and dancing.

Ooh. A big show!

[ chuckles ] Oh--

except that
sounds kind of loud.

Yeah. A show like that
may wake up Baby Fig,

but... what if it were
a quiet puppet show?

[ gasps ] A puppet show?

[ inhales ]

Hugo! No, no, no.

- Shh.
- Shh.

- Phew.
- [ sighs ]

I know exactly
what show I wanna do.

You're gonna love it.

Presenting [ whispering ]
the whispering mouse.

Oh. The whispering mouse.

Works for me.

Once upon a time,

there was the quietest mouse

in all the land.

Every day, the whispering mouse

tiptoed around,
gathering soft feathers

for his quiet little nest,

until one day he met a lion.

And it was a very special lion

because he was...

the loudest lion in the world!

The lion was always

- Too loud. Too loud.
- ...stomping and roaring--

Oh, no, no. Hugo, Hugo!

- Shh! Shh!
- ...and looking for food!

Stomp, stomp, roar!

- Hugo, shh!
- You're gonna wake up Baby Fig.

[ gasps ] Baby Fig.

I forgot. Did she wake up?

[ Fig crying ]

She woke up.

[ Fig crying ]

Aww, Fig. It's OK.

Go to sleep,
Figgle-wiggle.

[ chuckles ]
Wiggle-figgle.

[ Fig uttering baby sounds ]

[ Fig snoring ]

Good job, Hugo.

That Figgle-wiggle thing
was genius.

Thanks.

It's kind
of our thing.

Now back
to the puppet show.

Wait till you see
the next part.

They meet a screaming zebra!

- Um...
- Um...

That sounds, um,
exciting, Hugo.

But first, let's talk
about our "inside" voice

and our "outside" voice.

Do you know what
an inside voice sound like?

Sure, I do.

[ shouting ]
This is my inside voice, right?

Not exactly, not exactly.

Here, I'll show you.

An inside voice is quiet
[ whispering ] like this.

An outside voice
is loud like this!

Inside voice.

Outside voice!

Inside voice.

Outside voice!

Inside voice--
Outside voice!

Inside voi-- Outside voice!

Inside voi--
Outside voice--

- Roy.
- Too much?

So, Hugo, do you
think the screaming zebra

in your show can use
his inside voice?

No, it's more

of an outside voice zebra.

Is there anything else
you wanna play?

Oh!

How about a board game?

That sounds nice and quiet.

What's it called?

"Scream-o-rama."

Whoa. Looks fun.
[ waning giggles ]

Uh, but,
it's probably not

an inside voice
kind of game.

Luckily, we just happen

to have the most spectacular--

but also very quiet--

board game ever.

[ whistles ]

Esme and Roy:
Snorts and Ladders!

But where are all the pieces?

We're the pieces.

Wow!

Here, Hugo.
Why don't you go first?

Hugo:
It says, "Go to the Scaly Sea."

Yes!

I get fifty slime points!
[ kazoo sounds ]

- Hugo! Inside voice!
- [ kazoo sounds ] Yeah!

- [ kazoo sounds ] Hooray!
- Shh! Baby Fig is sleeping!

- [ gasps ]
- [ Baby Fig crying ]

[ crying ]

There, there, Baby Fig.

Go to sleep.

[ crying ]

Go to sleep, Figgle-wiggle.

- Wiggle-figgle.
- [ crying ]

Uh-oh. Baby Fig isn't
going back to sleep.

[ groans ]
Those pillow ears

would really
come in handy right now.

Maybe we should
sing her a lullaby.

Oh, yeah.

Baby Fig loves lullabies.

♪ Go to sleep,
little Fig ♪

♪ And dream sweet dreams ♪

♪ Of rainbows and kittens ♪

♪ And green slimy things ♪

♪ Go to sleep,
little Figgle ♪

♪ And snuggle up tight ♪

♪ Hugo's gonna sing you ♪

♪ A sweet song tonight ♪

♪ A-five, six, seven, eight ♪

♪ Rest, little Figgle, yeah ♪

- ♪ Curl up and go to sleep ♪
- Roy: Shh.

Shh! Hugo!

♪ If you're not feeling tired ♪

♪ You can count
some monster sheep ♪

♪ Ba dum, dum, ba,
bum da dum da ♪

[ crying ]

Oh, no!

I woke her up again!

No matter what I do,
I'm always too loud!

Uh-oh. Monster meltdown.

[ Fig crying ]

You take care of Baby Fig.

I'll talk to Hugo.

You got it.

[ crying ]

[ humming ]

[ downbeat kazoo ]

We've gotta
find a way a way

to play quietly
so Baby Fig can nap.

I'm trying to be quiet.

I really am,
but it's so hard.

I know you're trying, Hugo.

Let's see if we can
figure this out, OK?

♪ Take a deep breath
and count to three ♪

[ both inhale and exhale ]

One, two, three.

♪ Now listen carefully
and repeat after me ♪

Say, "Whisper, whisper.
Don't wake my sister."

Whisper, whisper.
Don't wake my sister.

Again!

Whisper, whisper.

Don't wake my sister.

♪ There we are ♪

♪ Nice and calm ♪

♪ Now we can move on ♪

Now, anytime you
feel yourself getting loud,

you can say--

"Whisper, whisper.

Don't wake my sister"

Monster hug?

Oh, I love monster hugs...

and Figgles is sleeping
like a baby.

[ sighs ]

Esme and Roy,
from now on,

you don't have to worry
about me being too loud.

I won't play anything.

I won't even
move a monster-muscle.

Wow. Hugo,
that's a great pose.

You look like a statue.

A statue?

A statue?

[ gasps ]
Wait a monster-minute.

That's it.

What's it?

You just gave me
a great idea

for a quiet game.

[ whistles ]

I call it...
"Silly Statues."

I'll dress up
and freeze like a statue,

and you guys guess
what I'm pretending to be.

All right.

I like it.

OK. Guess.

Um, a ballerina
with a yellow ear.

Nope. Keep guessing.

A dragon
at the grocery store?

No.

I'm a big pink bird

talking to someone.

A flamingo on the phone.

You got it.

My turn, my turn.

Ta-da! [ kazoo sound ]

Hmm. A tap-dancing giraffe!

- No...
- Oh!

An elephant putting
on a magic show.

Yes! Wahoo!
[ upbeat kazoo ]

[ gasps ]
Whisper, whisper.

Don't wake my sister.

A bunny rabbit
singing a song.

You got it!

A surfing dragon.

Yes!

- [ giggling ] A meatball.
- [ giggling ] A meatball.

[ all giggling ]

[ Fig uttering baby sounds ]

Sounds like someone's awake.

[ Fig uttering baby sounds ]

Hi, Fig.

You took such a long nap
because I was so quiet

playing Silly Statutes.

I was using
my inside voice.

Figgle-wiggle
wiggle-figgle.

[ Fig laughing ] Hugo.

[ chuckles ]
Monster hug.

Aww. [ chuckles ]

Don't you just love monsters?

Esme:
"The Hugo Express."

Esme:
Let's see.

The unicycle
goes in here.

There's a spot
for the pillows.

The colossal crayons...

and--

[ plays tuba ]

...the tuba!

- [ grunting ]
- [ chuckling ]

Well, that ought to do it.

Oh-- Wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait.

I've got one more thing...

A teeny-tiny meatball.

I don't know, Roy.

The monster-case
is pretty full.

It'll fit. It'll fit.

[ strained grunting ]

Ahh. Ta-da!

[ low rumble ]

Uh-oh. Whoa! Ha ha.

[ chuckles ]
Guess it didn't fit.

Mmm.

[ playing music ]

We've got a monster to watch.

Ha! [ grunts ]

[ gasps ] Today we're
watching Hugo!

Yes!

[ honking ]

- Come on!
- Let's go!

[ chewing and swallowing ] Mmm.

Esme:
Here we are.

Hugo:
Chugga-chugga, chugga-chugga,

chugga-chugga, chugga-chugga--

Esme:
Hey. I think I hear...

[ gasps and giggles ]

Esme and Roy: Hugo!

Esme! Roy!

All aboard
the "Hugo Express."

Chugga-chugga,
chugga-chugga,

All:
Chugga-chugga,
chugga-chugga, chugga-chugga--

[ kazoo sound ]

[ giggles ] Don't you
just love monsters?

All: Chugga-chugga,
chugga-chugga,

chugga-chugga, chugga-chugga.

- [ kazoo ]
- Bravo! Nice train, you three.

Spotlight.

Thank you.

Thank you.

- Wow.
- Cool.

[ chuckles ]

How did he do that?

Whoa!

h* h*! Oh, hi, Baby Fig.

[ giggles ]
Hi, Esme. Hi, Roy.

[ Roy giggles ]

Wow. It sure is
clean in here.

Yep. Simon and Grammy
are coming over for dinner,

so the house needs
to be neat, clean,

- ...and tidy!
- [ Roy chuckles ]

Fig:
Huh. Tidy.

Well, we're heading off
to music class.

You guys, have fun.

Just remember to put everything
back when you're done.

Not a problem.

The monster-sitters
always clean up

after themselves.

Oh-- [ chuckles ]

See?

All right, kiddo.
I'll see you later.

Have fun!

Fig:
Bye! [ kazoo ]

So, Hugo, what do you
wanna play?

Yeah. We can do
anything you want--

I mean, as long as it's not

something super messy
like mud ball

or gravy diving--
Oh, boy.

That one can stain.

I wanna play...

[ triumphant kazoo ]
trains!

Good idea, Hugo.

I just happen to know
the best train-builders

this side of the Monster-sippi.

- You do?
- [ gasps ] Who? Who? Who?

Us.

- Oh, yeah.
- [ whistles ]

Attention, passengers.

Now arriving
in living room station...

It's the monster-case!

Hugo:
Cool!

[ giggles ]

Perfect!

Some cotton ba*ls...

[ grunting ]

...a little tape--

[ giggles ]

[ giggles ]

[ grunts ]

[ kazoo playing ]

All aboard the Hugo Express.

We're making stops

across the entire living room.

Tickets, please.
Tickets, please.

"Here's my ticket."

"And here's mine."

- [ Esme giggles ]
- Chugga-chugga, chugga-chugga,

- Chugga-chugga, chugga-chugga,
- Have a good trip!

Chugga-chugga, chugga-chugga,

chugga-chugga,
chugga-chugga.

Welcome to Hibernation Station.

- [ kazoo ]
- Chugga-chugga, chugga-chugga--

Thanks, Mr. Conductor.

Roy:
...chugga-chugga,
chugga-chugga, chugga-chugga--

Now arriving
at Sock-ingham Palace.

Well, I say.
What a splendid train!

All aboard, Your Highness.

[ giggles ]

Chugga-chugga,
chugga-chugga, chugga-chugga.

This is Pen Station.

[ giggles ]

Oh, please, Mr. Conductor.

I simply must get
to my stop on-time.

I'll see what I can do, ma'am.

Psst. Engineer Roy,
think you can go any faster?

You got it.

Chugga-chugga, chugga-chugga,

chugga-chugga,
chugga-chugga,

chugga-chugga, chugga-chugga--

Whoa!

Ha! [ chuckles ]

Well, what do you know?
Here's my stop.

Bye-bye now!

[ all laughing ]

All aboard!

[ kazoo whistle ]

Chugga-chugga,
chugga-chugga, chugga--

Last stop. Everybody off.

Watch your step.

Phew.

[ sighs ]

Thank goodness
for Couch Station.

Woo-hoo!

Playing Trains
was so much fun!

Hugo was like,
"All aboard!"

And I was all,
"Here's my ticket."

And Roy was like,
"Chugga-chugga,

chugga-chugga,
chugga-chugga."

- [ all giggling ]
- [ phone ringing ]

Monster-sitters.
This is Roy.

Dad over phone: Hi, Roy.

It's your dad.

Just calling to say

I'm headed home.

Try to have everything
cleaned up

before I get there, OK?

OK.

Great. See you real soon.

[ Esme and Roy gasping ]

Aah! Did you hear that?

He's coming back soon--

real soon,

and there's a huge mess.

What do we do? What do we do?

Don't worry, Roy.

We can clean this mess up.

We just have to start now.

- [ kazoo ]
- Huh?

[ Hugo grunting ]

Hugo?

Guess what?

The Hugo Express is expanding.

We're making even more stops.

- More stops?
- More stops?

That's right.

Now, the train goes
through the whole house!

[ kazoo ]

- Uh-oh.
- Uh-oh.

Ooh. More passengers.

Thanks, Roy.

- Oh, no. Wait.
- [ Hugo humming ]

But Hugo-- aah!
We need to-- ugh!

...start cleaning up!

[ cheerful kazoo ]

Yeah. Your dad's
coming home soon.

Aah!

Guys, the Hugo Express

can't stop now.

These monsters
have places to go

and people to see!

Wait, wait, wait. Hugo!

I've got an idea!

How about we
turn cleaning up

into a game?

- A game?
- Yeah.

A sorting game.

We can sort
all the toys by color.

I'll pick up the orange toys,

Roy'll get the green ones,

and you can pick up
the blue toys.

- Got it?
- Got it.

On you marks,
get set, roar!

[ all laughing ]

There's a blue one...

[ gasps ] and another one!

- [ giggles ]
- It's working!

All right, Hugo!

Now, put all your toys in here.

Uh, Hugo?

Hugo:
All aboard!

- [ both gasp ]
- [ kazoo ]

Look. All these toys

wanna ride the Hugo Express.

Sorry, Hugo.

We can't keep
playing trains.

It's time to clean up.

Clean up? Now?

But these socks wanna ride,
and so do these puppets,

and so do these sock puppets!

We can't clean up now!

All aboard. All aboard.
All aboard!

[ kazoo whistle ]

Uh-oh. Monster-meltdown.

[ whimpers ]

It'll be all right, Hugo.

I've got something
that'll help you feel better.

It's a glitter jar.

- Here. Shake it.

Wait a monster-minute.

That's it.

Maybe we can

keep playing trains.

Hugo, I just remembered

the Hugo Express needs
to make one more stop.

It does?

Yeah. It has to help

these lost toys get back home.

See? This rubber ducky
can't find her way back

to the bathtub,

and this book can't find
his way to the bookcase.

And this fuzzy

can't find its way to the...

Guess what, Esme.

I had so much fun
playing Trains to clean up,

I made my own train!

Wow. Nice work.

See? I've got everything sorted.

There are pillows for napping,
books for reading,

and meatballs for snacking.

[ gulps ]

What goes in here?

Oh! I save this car

for the most important
thing of all...

Esme's!

Aww, thanks, big guy.
