[Mike Wazowski]
Thanks, Joe. Good luck finishing your crossword puzzle.
[Teacher]
Sorry, Michael. I didn't see you.
[Mike Wazowski]
That's okay. When I was on the bus, I found a nickel! I wish I had pockets.
[Teacher]
Okay, everyone, partner up. Get your field trip, buddy.
[Mike Wazowski]
Jeremy, you and me? Okay, no biggie. Haley? No. Pairing up with Claire. Great choice. She's a good egg. Russell... Mike? Wazowski? We carpool. We're cousins! Hey. Okay. Good catching up.
[Teacher]
Well, Michael, it looks like it's you and me again.
[Mike Wazowski]
Come on, Karen. We're falling behind.
[Teacher]
Please don't call me Karen.

Now stay close together. We're entering a very dangerous area. Welcome to the scare floor. This is where we collect the scream energy to power our whole world. And can anyone tell me whose job it is to go get that scream?

[Teacher]
Yes. We're here to learn about Scream Energy and what it takes to be a scarer.
[Blue scarer]
Well, hey, you're in luck because I just happen to be a scarer. I learned everything I know from my school, Monsters University. It's the best scaring school there is.
[Green scarer]
You wish. Fear Tech's the best.
[Blue scarer]
Okay, you guys watch us and tell me which school's the best. All right? MU is. Let's go everybody.
[Tour Guide]
Oops. Stop right there. Don't cross over that safety line. Human children are extremely toxic.

[Mike Wazowski]
Hey guys, watch the eye.
[Classmates]

[Mike Wazowski]
Excuse me. Fellas. How about we do tallest in the back?

[Classmate]
Cool. I want to be a scarer.
[Classmate]
Yeah, me too.
[Mike Wazowski]
Come on, guys. I want to see.
[Classmate]
Out of the way, Wazowski. You don't belong on a scare floor.
[Teacher]
Brian, do not step over the line.
[Classmate]
Mrs. Graves, Michael went over the line.
[Teacher]
Michael!
[Mom]
See, I told you he's fine.
[Dad]
I thought I heard something.
[Blue scarer]
What? That was real dangerous, kid. I didn't even know you were in there. Wow... I didn't even know you were in there. Not bad, kid.

[Mike Wazowski]
How do I become a [scarer?]
