Whoa!
Yeah, that princess merch
is, like, so cute,
but for that price, I'm, like,
it better do real magic.
That is funny and a good point.
Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
This one's spicy!
Oh, my gosh, that is the cutest price tag!
Hey, monster! You know the rules.
Monsters ain't welcome, so put the merch back and get out!
-Whoa. -Shoo, shoo, shoo!
Do you think I'd look cute in this shirt?
-Or...
Hey, over there! That goes for you, too!
-Monster! -Hmph!
Oh! Prince Lucitor. Sorry. Sorry, sir.
Please don't incinerate my shop.
-Hmm.
Circumstantial evidence... Hmm, okay. Hmm.
-No. -Hey, Mom!
You know how Mewmans kind of keep monsters separated
from the rest of the kingdom?
Yes?
Well, I was just wondering why!
We keep monsters out because monsters are dangerous.
You know that.
Well, yeah! But no! No, no, no, no!
Not all of them,
and what about people who aren't Mewmans,
but also aren't monsters?
Like Romulus!
He has snakes for hands!
Are his hands monsters?
Heavens, no!
He's on the Magical High Commission!
And what about the Ponyheads?
They're a bunch of floating horse heads!
No, dear, we've had ties with the Ponyheads for generations.
And Rich Pigeon? His kingdom is brand new!
And he's a pigeon with legs, Mother!
How is he not a monster?
Well, dear, he's rich.
I don't really see what that has to do with anything.
And what about the Lucitors?
I've seen Tom do some pretty scary stuff.
Somehow he's not a monster?
Okay, and it makes absolutely no sense
that lizard people are monsters
but Lekmet, the giant magical goat
Too soon, Star!
But what's the difference?
What the heck is the difference?
Enough! Look, I don't make the rules.
The Royal Monster Expert does!
I'm sorry, what? We have a monster on staff?
Not a monster, a monster expert.
Dr. Jelly Goodwell.
Okay, then I'm gonna go have a little chat
with this "Jelly Goodwell,"
if that even is her real name!
-Fine! -Fine! Bye.
What am I supposed to do with this cart?
Jelly Goodwell!
We need to talk now!
Oh, you must be here for the cheese!
What? No! Don't play dumb with me, Royal Monster Expert!
Oh! No, I'm the Royal Muenster Expert.
The Royal Monster Expert is down the hall to the right.
Okay! Thank you!
Jelly Goodwell!
Hmm?
Wrong office. Sorry.
Jelly Goodwell!
And step... step...
Excuse me.
Pardon me, is this Dr. Goodwell's office?
Yes, I'm Dr. Goodwell.
Ah, thank goodness! Now, you listen up, Goodwell!
The way we treat monsters around here is outrageous!
We have got all these dumb rules
saying monsters can't mingle with humans,
and monsters can't go here,
and monsters can't go there!
Oof! It's gotten to the point where a monster
can't even go shopping for a pre-ripped T-shirt!
Well, sister, I am not leaving here
until you agree to make some changes.
I've spent my entire life studying monsters.
Nobody knows more about them than I do.
I've even lived among them
and observed their behavior first-hand,
and you are exactly the princess I've been waiting for!
-For years I've hoped to find a royal
who actually gets it. The way we treat monsters
in Mewni is, well, monstrous!
-Exactly! -Monsters need to be respected.
-Yes! -And loved!
-Yes! -And their habitat preserved!
Oh, yes! Yes! Yes!
Excellent. Let me take you out into the field
and show you what I've been working on.
Let's go!
Being a researcher is awesome!
These monster costumes are great!
Oh! They're monster camouflage.
Speaking of which, we should probably go ahead and apply our monster musk.
Monster musk? What's that?
-Oh, that is nasty!
What's in there?
My own special blend of various monster secretions.
Bleh, ugh!
Let's get going!
First we need to go through the Forest of Certain Death,
then across the Lake of Endless Suffering,
over the Dam of Constant Sorrow,
across the Bridge of the Inevitable Hereafter,
and here we are!
Wow, sick treehouse, doc!
Oh, no...
It's not a treehouse.
It is my field research lab.
It looks like a treehouse to me.
It's not!
Whatever you say, doc.
Oh!
Dr. Goodwill? Whatcha doing?
Shh! There's a herd nearby!
A herd? A herd of what?
Monsters!
Whoa.
This hill features naturally occurring geographic formations
that almost look like buildings.
The monsters were clever enough to use them for shelter.
Amazing!
Wait, what?
Ooh! Ooh! You've got to get a look at this!
There's 011358,
and he has his offspring with him!
Oh, hey, Buffrog! You know him, too?
I have been watching 011358 since he was a tadpole.
I implanted a tracker on his ear
and have been keeping close tabs on him ever since.
Okay, I don't know about this, Goodwell--
the spying, the costumes, the monster musk?
Monsters are just like us.
You don't need all this equipment to get to know them.
Get to know them? Oh, ho, sweet, naive Star!
It's not so simple.
When monsters and Mewmans mix, bad things happen,
usually to the monsters!
Yeah, but that--
I've devised a plan!
Let me show... you...
Tah-dah!
Ooh!
Nice cartsmanship.
Thank you!
Aw, look at little tiny us in the treehouse!
So cute! And the monster village!
What are you planning?
You see that wondrously
mysterious structure the monsters built?
Uh, you mean "dam"?
I believe it's some kind
of primitive monument
that they built out of instinct,
but no matter-- we simply remove a small piece of their structure
to release a gentle flow of water,
which travels down the chasm,
covers the lowlands around the monster nesting grounds,
and creates a natural island!
Voilà!
More like a prison.
I mean, how are they supposed to get in and out?
Well, they don't!
It's guaranteed total isolation from Mewmans!
Shall I detonate the dam?
Listen, we can't just go around blowing up dams
and imprisoning monsters!
That's crazy!
Mewmans have been deciding
what's best for monsters for way too long!
But I already did it!
Ugh. Unbelievable.
You know what, Jelly? You doomed these monsters!
You don't like my explosion?
It's not about that. I thought you were different.
But you're just like everybody else here.
No, no, no, no, no. Stop complaining.
Look, of course there is bigger, better stroller.
But you should appreciate the one we have.
Hey, Buffrog!
Look, look, look! Jelly Goodwell blew the dam,
and now the water's gonna come down
and turn this whole place into an island!
What?
Hey, Star, it's not a problem.
That's just a little trickle of water,
nothing we haven't seen before.
Oh, you must be crazy dirty lady that watches us through trees.
Hello. I am Yvgeny Bulgolubuff.
Well, I'm Jelly Goodwell! Oh-ho-ho!
Oh, I'm such a turd-brain!
I shook your hand with the blower-upper thing!
No! It's too much water!
It won't create an island.
This will destroy entire village!
Come on.
Incoming!
Oh, my goodness!
Come on, move it!
This is not drill.
Hey, hey!
Hah!
Hey, Star!
Incredible!
Mewmans and monsters working together!
-Here it comes! -Oh, no!
-Hey!
-Grab a rock! -Oh!
Great, let's go!
Oh! Okay!
Yay!
How could I have been such a dumb
Here I thought we should live separately!
But really Mewmans should live like monsters!
Hah-hah!
Play in the mud! Act like idiots! Oh!
I'm a monster, ho-whah!
I'm a monster!
There!
Now Mewni has a real monster expert.
Thank you.
Aw, you're crying.
Oh, the badge.
I think you broke the skin a little.
Oh, gosh! Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Yeah, yes.
