[The episode starts.]
Gromble: Now if you ganglers stankers will all take out your sacs, we can start today's breathing lessons.
[They take out their Sacs.]
Gromble: Excellent. Now fill them.
[The monsters blow their sacs into a balloon.}
Gromble: And swallow.
[They gulp the sac into their bodies.]
Gromble: Superb! Now someone refresh me why do we do this. Yes?
Snill: We do this because with a full sack of the life giving garbage air, we can survive in the harsh oxygen rich human environment up to 48 hours.
Gromble: Oh, good answer, Snill.
Snill: Thank you, sir. And may I say-
Gromble: But what do you do if you going above ground for 4 days or 5? Ickis!
Ickis: Come home early?

Ickis: Grow?
Gromble: Grow! Some of you may better at growing but fear not You'll learn or I'll teach you.
[Ickis was completely grown in size as his sac was filled in.}
Ickis: Nhggg... Now what?
Gromble: Now swallow.
[Ickis slowly grabs his bag until his body was swollen like a balloon.]
Gromble: Excellent, excellent. Now shrink back down your body will compress your sac to hold the extra air.
Ickis: I don't think I can.
Gromble: Nonsense. You're body will close around the sack. It just takes A little getting used to.
[Ickis tries but he deflates like a balloon. All monsters laugh at this.]
Gromble: Work on it.
Ickis: Work on it, Work on it? Sure. I will work on it. Oof! I'm having a bad day.

[They enter a kitchen]
Pugh: I can do it myself.

Ickis: Well you can't!
Pugh: What do you mean I can't?
Ickis: You're only supposed to scare him once. Then they're never sure what they saw.
Pugh: Hold on there. I think I get it. If I scare 'em once, they'll Be scared for life 'Cause they don' know what hit 'em. But scare 'em twice, they start figuring out what we are, we're in big trouble!
Ickis: Yes! Yes exactly!
Pugh: Who cares?
Ickis: No.

Jacques: They're inside ze kitchen.
Woman: We'll see about that.
Pugh: Go on without me. I won't talk. Unless they threaten to hurt me. Then I'll probably Tell them everything.
Ickis: I can't just leave you here.

Jacques: I'm telling you, There was a thing.
Ickis: Hang on.
[Ickis jumps into the trash can. ]
Man: Did you check the supply room?
Jacques: No.
[Ickis breathes in one of the trash as his sac inflates. He swallows it up and squeezes his body back to his normal body. He returns inside the pot where he gave his sac to Pugh.]
Woman: I don't mean to interrupt you monster hunt, but weddings are so much nicer with a cake!
[???]
Pugh: What's with the tone?
Ickis: From the snorching. I can't get it out of my head. I guess I had it coming, but I still can't figure out How the Gromble knew everything.
