[The cameras pans away from the city to the city dump and then to the Gromble's auditorium, a belcher monster belches to signify the start of class.]
Gromble: [Carrying a chair where the top part is made of bones] Greetings, tiny terals. [Smeech gives the Gromble an eaten apple with worms in it.] Thank you, Smeech. This sort of thing goes a long way with me. [The Gromble then eats the apple] Now you're all in for a treat, please give a warm welcome to a monster who needs no introduction.
Ickis: [Whispers] Betcha two rats he gives him one.
Gromble: A monster who scared more humans than me. The Shroink.
[There is no reply from The Shroink]
Gromble: The Shroink. [Still no answer] THE SHROINK!
[The Shroink then appears]
Krumm: That's the Shroink?
Gromble: You're about to hear some great moments in history class, listen and learn. [The Gromble goes through a door]
Shroink: So what do you wanna hear? You wanna hear about scaring Have I told you the one about the crack?
Monster: How could we have we never even seen this guy before.
Shroink: Let me tell you about my best scare. It was nighttime .No, It was dusk. Maybe it was morning. [The chair then breaks as he sits on it and all the monsters laugh.]
Monster: Get to the scary part.
Shroink: I had just finished snacking on a nice leather steering wheel-
[He falls asleep. And after that little moment, they all laugh.]
Krumm: Come on. And now, It is my sencere privilege to present the Shroink. [The monsters impersonate The Shroink, Ickis acts old and holding Oblina like a walking stick.]
[everyone laughs, as The Gromble bursts through the door.]
Gromble: Ickis! Krumm! Oblina! Shroink and I have discuss your behavior. And we decided there's only one thing to do, you should escort Shroink back to his dump, have a good time.
[The monsters are escorting Shroink from an alley way]
Oblina: Come on, come on.
[The monsters then jump onto the back of a bus]
Shroink: Hold on just a minute. I'm coming. Wait a second. Don't worry. I know a little short cut.
Ickis: Could he possibly move any slower?
[???]
Shroink: Well looky here. If it isn't old George Washington.
Ickis: He looks familiar.
Shroink: Terrible picture. He looks more better than person.
Oblina: You knew this human.
Shroink: Knew him? I scared him. I was just a young slip of a monster when I first saw George. It was somewhere near the Delaware river.
Man: General Washington, Sir, shouldn't we go now?
George: It looks a little choppy. Maybe we shouldn't do this.
Man: But, sir, The element of surprise-
George: I say we wait.
George: Go go go!
Ickis: Either I've been here in a past life, or we've been down this street three times already.
Shroink: Trust me. There's a little short cut right over there.
[???]
Ickis: Shroink!
Oblina: Use me.
Krumm: Come here dog!
Shroink: Did someone mention shortcut?
Krumm: No.
[???]
Krumm: I love littererss.
Shroink: Reminds me of a guy I once scared. His name was Albert Einstein.
Einstein: E equals mc plus two. No, that's not right. E equals mc Times two. No, no, that is Not right, either.
Ickis: His hair stayed that way forever?
Shroink: Absolutely. Once you been shroinked. Come on, kids, let's take the shortcut.
[???]
Oblina: Not again.
Krumm: I guess we better save him.
Boy: Here I'm here!
Boy: Run away!
Shroink: This way is a shortcut.
Ickis: I think we all had enough with you're shortcuts. This time we are going our way, if you don't mind.
Shroink: I wouldn't go in there if I were you.
[???]
Monster: Litch is going to love this.
Ickis: I'm guessing that's Lech.
Lech: So, what do we have here? Three Academy wimps and a shriveled old geezer.
Shroink: I told you we shouldn't have some here. If you only....
Oblina: Allow me.
Oblina: I believe they're laughing.
Shroink : I've had jus About enough of you punks.
Lech: What are you gonna do? Wheexe on me?
[???]
Shroink: Don't worry, kids. I'll have us out of here before you can say Gophoo.
Krumm: I can't watch.
[???]
Krumm: Wow.
Oblnia: Stupendous really. I have never seen anything like this.
Ickis: You were great.
Shroink: That was nothing. Did I ever tell about the time-
[Back home.]
Shroink: What I'm saying is you have to believe In your own burps.
Ickis: I'll never be able to do that.
Shroink: Sure you will, Ickis. You know what the secret is To being a great monster?
Oblina: I know being the scariest.
Krumm: Being the smellest.
Ickis: Be related to the Gromble?
Shroink: Well now, speaking of the Gromble, I once had a student who thought he never make it.
Woman: Do you think these make my feet look big?
Man: Bring me those slingbacks in a seven. Step on it.
Ickis: Think how different The Gromble would be If he wore sneakers.
Shroink: Why do you think he's cranky all the time? His toes are pinched.
Ickis: I'm gonna miss you, Shroink.
Krumm: Me too.
Oblina: So am I.
Ickis: Tell us another story.
Shroink: Did I tell you about taking the Gromble to the shoe store?
Gromble: Alright. Time to go, story time is over.
Ickis: What are you doing here?
Gromble: Making sure The Shroink got home. The Shroink needs his rest and we should be heading back. I trust Shroink didn't give you too much trouble.
Krumm: He's one cool monster.
Oblina: He's one cool monster. And he told us the most marvelous stories.
Gromble: Those were the same stories he used to tell me.
Oblina: And are they all true?
Gromble: Of course they are. Great monsters Like Shroink never fib.
Ickis: Even the one about the shoe store?
Gromble: No no no! Absolutely not! Absolute, positive drivel! That ridiculous nonsense!
Ickis: But you just said- [The Gromble glares at him for a moment.] Alright.
Gromble: Maybe I should have grabbed the black ones.
