It is almost twilight, and Jess and Paula, the Monster Hunters, are walking through a dense part of the woods. They are trying to get Manny the Monster to become a part of their Monster Preserve.
Paula: We'll be there in any minute. His cabin is just around the corner.
Jess: And remind me, what is the best way to lure this creature?
Paula: Let me do the talking. I can understand Monsterese a bit.
Jess: If you say so. But, this isn't any ordinary monster. Eight people have vanished without a trace in this area. People are pretty sure Manny is responsible. It's hard to ignore the chronic violence the community has been facing.
Paula: We have to take a chance dialoguing with him. People typically panic around monsters as I am sure you know by now. They get totally stressed out! We've both agreed that dialogue is the best way to transform a savage monster into a more docile one.
Suddenly, Manny the Monster appears on the right side. He stares at Jess and Paula. The two girls freeze.
