[The episode starts with all the people and the opera singers are screaming and running.]
Krumm: Well, that turned out okay.
Oblina: A rather good scare.. Actually.
Ickis: Good?! It was great.
[A monster belches while the trio get in the viewfinder, but they struggled.]
Gromble: Can I assume that someone has something they would like to share?!
[A viewfinder coughs.]
Oblina: Yes, I do. And if you would tell Ickis and Krumm to return to their seats, I would be happy to show it.
Ickis: Why you?
Oblina: Because!
[The viewfinder sputters]
Mechanic Monster: Your viewfinder's broken.
Ickis: Your Grombleness, I was thinking. Since we've got such a great scare and seeing as the viewfinder isn't quite itself lately…
Gromble: Spit it out, Ickis!
Ickis: Well… I thought maybe we could just explain the scare.
Gromble: What?
Oblina: Yes, yes, we could tell you what happened.
Ickis: How we entered the objective stalked our prey, and struck.
Gromble: Hmm. For once it might actually be illuminating to listen to you talk. Please tell us all about your scare.
Ickis: If you insist.
[Ickis clears his throat]
Ickis: Well, first of all, I guess I should say I'm no hero. See, there are a million monsters and everyone of them has a story, and… Somehow they always end up at my door.
[memory plays]
Krumm: Hey, boss, you got company.
Oblina: (Gasps) Why, um… Hello, Ickis. Still drinking too much sour milk, I see.
Ickis: Everybody's got some kind of problem, kid. What's yours?
Oblina: Me? Well… I… I don't have a problem. I'm just on my way to a scare. Thought you might want to come along.
Ickis: [narrating] Just like that, she was gone. It was something mysterious about that dame. And if there's one thing this monster liked... (Giggling) It was mystery. The building was old and you could tell by the smell it was crawling with humans. Ah, Oblina was classy. She had class like Krumm had stench. From the top of her head to the tip of her tail. But you could tell one other thing: Trouble followed her like flies. I like that. Flies, I mean. Trouble, I didn't like-- trouble, I hate. I had to ask.
Ickis: So, what's the trouble?
Oblina: Oh, there is no trouble, darling. I require a little elementary assistance.
[The music starts, the opera singer singing, the monsters scream]
Ickis: Oh, fine, now it all makes sense. This whole money business is a setup. You are in over your head, sister And you want me to pull you out of it? Come on, say it, baby, say it. You want me to do your scare for you.
Oblina: I didn't know there would be singing. I cannot do it without you! Please, please?
Ickis: Pretty please?
[The knight sings and the singers are singing.]
Ickis: After I drop you on stage Just keep that pretty head down and those baby blacks wide open. (Laughing) I'll do the scaring, sister. You just take it all in So you can play it on the viewfinder.
Oblina: How can I ever repay you?
Ickis: You can, sister. Don't try.
[???]
Ickis: Sometimes it's so easy I wonder if it's worth it.
Oblina: Oh… You are amazing, Ickis.
[Memory ends and back to reality.]
Oblina: An amazing liar!
Gromble: Oblina?
Oblina: What?! Oh, uh… Yes, your Grombleness?
Gromble: Is there something you want to say?
[Oblina clears her throat]
Oblina: First, you all know Ickis. And while he is a wonderful little monster, he can be rather careless, mm-hmm.
[memory played]
Oblina: [narrating] I had not planned on scaring everyone in the building I had planned something safe and reasonable. But as usual Ickis had not listened to me.
Oblina: Ickis, this is not a puddle full of sludge, it is a building full of humans. You must approach it with a plan. Those are the rules.
Ickis: Rules are for monsters like you who go do their homework and listen in class. Me, I'm bigger than the rules. Come on, Krumm.
Oblina: [narrating] There was no question Ickis was going to get himself into trouble. But would I be able to get him out of it?
[The music starts, the opera singer sings. Ickis and Krumm is running around.]
Krumm: What now?
Ickis: Why are you asking me? Oh no. I have done something thoughtless that is going to get us into trouble yet again. Now only Oblina can save us.
[???]
Both: Oblina!
Oblina: This is gonna to take more than the ordinary scaring powers of an ordinary monster. This looks like a job for… Supermonster.
[Oblina fly with her lips to scare the audience. She scares the entire music people.]
Oblina: BOO!
[The opera singers screaming, memory ends]
Oblina: There now, that is what happened.
Gromble: Hmm. Krumm.
Krumm: Yes.
Gromble: Would you please tell us what really happened on your scare?
Krumm: Sure, it went fine.
Gromble: Krumm, be a dear, sweet, reasonable monster and tell us something we can believe!
Krumm: Um, let me see. I'm a little sketchy on the details.
[Memory plays]
Krumm: [narrating] We popped out in a big tile room. Oblina and Ickis were arguing about something, I don't remember what. But I do remember when one of them bumped into a trash can and knocked it over. And the trash can was filled with all sorts of stuff. Some of it looked pretty tasty. There was this big pile of...
Gromble: MR. KRUMM!
Krumm: Sorry.
Gromble: Just tell us what happened.
Krumm: Okay, okay, let me see. We left the tile room and went up a long pipe and came out way above all the humans. We decided to go down to where all the humans were... And then we scared everybody.
[Memory ended]
Krumm: And then we came back here. And that's it. Does that help any?
Mechanic Monster: Your viewfinder's fixed.
Gromble: Thank you.
[The Gromble points at Ickis, Krumm and Oblina, cutting to them sitting on the viewfinder.]
Ickis: I already told you what happened.
Oblina: No! I did!
[Now that the viewfinder is fixed, we reveal the true memory.]
Ickis: Where are we?
Oblina: It does not matter. Let us just scare someone and get back to the dump!
Krumm: But I don't see anyone.
Ickis: I do.
Krumm: Wow, We're really high up.
Ickis: And there are an awful lot of humans down there. Let's try somewhere else.
Krumm: Yeah, somewhere lower.
Ickis: And less crowded.
Oblina: No. I refuse to give up so easily.
Ickis: [whimpers] Let's give up!
Oblina: Now, Ickis, it is just human music. I know it hurts your ears But that is no reason to let it upset you.
[The opera singer singing begins. The monsters moan squeal. Krumm starts to fall over.]
Krumm: Oblina, help!
Oblina: Ickis!
[???]
Krumm: Well, that turned out okay.
Oblina: A rather good scare. Actually.
Ickis: Good? It was great.
[The monsters smile, but the Gromble is not amused, which the monsters are sad.]
Ickis: [narrating] I thought I had told a pretty good story. But the Gromble didn't buy it, and he made the rules. As for the dame, she was no better off. 451 Shoes in that room and every one of them needed polishing.
