[Louise reading]
[Louise playing piano note]
Before we practice
for the concert,
we should warm up our voices,
don't you think, Louise?
That's a good idea,
Ruby. I'll start.
[playing music note]
La la la la la la la ♪
Your turn, Ruby.
-Ready?
-Ready.
[playing piano note]
La la ♪--
Monster.
I'm sorry, Max, I can't
help you find your
Monster Mask right now.
Louise and I have
to practice for the concert.
Keep looking.
I'm sure you'll find it.
Ready to try again?
Ready.
[playing piano note]
La la la la ♪
[hiccups]
[both giggling]
Excuse me, Louise.
That's okay.
Let's try again.
[playing piano note]
La la la la ♪
[hiccups]
I think you've got
a case of
The [hiccups]
hiccups.
Oh, no.
How are we gonna
[hiccups]
practice for the
[hiccups]
concert?
Monster?
Max, I can't
[hiccups]
help you find your
[hiccups]
Monster Mask.
I've [hiccups]
got to get rid
of these [hiccups]
hiccups.
Try to think [hiccups]
where you left it, Max.
[hiccups]
We need to find
you a cure.
We'll check the big
book of [hiccups]
Home Remedies.
It's over [hiccups]
here.
Let's see.
Coughs, fever
[hiccups]
Here it is. [hiccups]
Hiccups. [giggles]
Maybe you should
read it [hiccups]
Louise.
[Louise giggles]
I think you're right.
"Hiccups, there are four
cures for hiccups.
One, hold your breath
for as long as you can.
Two, hang upside down.
Three, drink
a glass of water.
Four, scare them away."
Let's try cure number one.
Holding your breath
for as long as you can.
Okay [hiccups]
[taking deep breath]
[straining]
Keep holding
it in, Ruby.
Monster.
[gasps and hiccups]
Oh, no, that
didn't work at all.
[hiccups]
Monster.
[hiccups] I'm sorry, Max,
I don't know where your
[hiccups] Monster mask is.
There are lots
of toys outside.
[hiccups] Why don't
[hiccups] you play
with one of them?
[hiccups]
Monster.
Well, cure number one
didn't work.
That's [hiccups]
for sure.
Why don't we try
cure number two,
hanging upside down?
I'll [hiccups]
try anything.
Where should I do it?
How about over there,
on the chair?
Okay. [hiccups]
[hiccups] Like this, Louise?
Perfect.
Now let's try singing again.
[playing piano note]
La la la la la la la ♪
Now you sing, Ruby.
[playing piano note]
La la la la la ♪
[hiccups]
Oh, no, it's not working.
How am I ever gonna get
rid of these
[hiccups]
hiccups?
[Max] Monster.
[hiccups] I can't
help you, Max.
I've got to get rid
of these hiccups.
[hiccups]
Max, there are other
ways to play monster.
If [hiccups]
you look in your
[hiccups] room,
you'll find lots
of other stuff [hiccups]
to play monster with.
Any luck?
I [hiccups] don't
think so. [hiccups]
So much for cure number two.
Right. [hiccups]
Let's try cure number three.
Drinking a glass of water.
All [hiccups] right.
Grrrrrr!
Rrrrrrr!
Monster?
Rrrrr!
Monster!
The book says you have
to drink the whole glass
of water all at once.
I hope this
[hiccups] works.
[loud thudding]
What [hiccups]
was that?
It came from upstairs.
[Ruby hiccuping]
Rrrrr! Rrrrr!
Rrrrr!
Max, what do you think you're
doing dragging your sheet all
over the place?
[hiccups]
Monster!
Max [hiccups] I
can't play monster with
you right now.
[hiccups] I'm still
[hiccups] hiccuping.
Come on
[hiccups] Louise.
[sighs] We've [hiccups]
tried three cures
and none of them worked.
And there's only one more.
What is it?
[hiccups] I forget.
Monster!
"Cure number four,
scare them away."
[doorbell rings]
But, how [hiccups]
are you going
to scare me [hiccups]
if I know you're
going to try? [hiccups]
Rrrrrr!
[Ruby and Louise screaming]
[Max and Ruby] Grandma!
What are you doing
With that mask?
Max left it at my house
and I thought he might be
l looking for it.
I hope I didn't scare
you too much.
Scare me?
Ruby, your hiccups
are gone.
Grandma, you scared
my hiccups away with your
Monster Mask.
Not my Monster Mask.
[Max] Monster!
[hiccups]
[all laughing]
[Ruby reading]
I'm ready to have
my picture taken.
How about you, Max?
Max, what are you doing?
Butterfly!
You can't chase
the butterfly right now, Max.
I'm taking a picture of us
for Grandma, remember?
It's a very special picture.
So we have to wear
our very best clothes.
Max, I know just what
you should wear.
Come on, Max.
I know it's
in here somewhere.
Ah-ah!
What's your blue sailor suit
doing stuffed at the very
back of your closet?
It's the perfect outfit
for you to wear in the picture.
You want to look good
in Grandma's picture,
don't you?
Change, Max.
I can't wait to see
Grandma's face when
she sees the picture of us.
She's going to love it.
I'm going to set
up the camera.
You fix your suit
and come down, so we
can take the picture.
[jazz music playing]
Butterfly!
[Ruby] Max, are you
ready yet?
Now we're both in our
very best clothes
This is going to be
a great picture.
I'll be ready
in one minute.
I just have to make sure
the camera's straight.
[chomping]
Butterfly!
[upbeat music playing]
Okay, Max, I'm ready
to take our picture now.
Careful, Max.
Don't run with an orange
slime-dribbler in your hand
or you'll mess up
your very best
Oh, no. You can't look like
that in Grandma's picture.
Go inside and change into
your second-best sailor suit.
Butterfly!
Wrong way, Max.
[jazz music playing]
Butterfly!
Butterfly?
[upbeat music playing]
This picture is going
to be great, Max.
I've got the camera set up
In exactly the right--
-Butterfly!
-[camera clicks]
Max, you made
me waste a picture.
You can chase after
the butterfly later, Max.
When the red light flashes
really quickly,
it means the camera's
gonna take our picture.
Smile, Max.
-Butterfly!
-[camera clicks]
Max, this is a photograph,
not a movie.
You've got to keep still.
We only have two more shots
before we run out of film
and we still don't have
a picture for Grandma.
Butterfly!
Come back here, Max.
[upbeat music playing]
[gasps] The camera!
[camera clicks]
Oh, Max, now we only have
One picture left.
We'll have to be very careful
to make sure it turns out
perfectly this time.
[gasps]
Max! Watch out
for that mud puddle.
[Ruby sighs]
That was close.
Oh, no.
I can't have my picture
taken with this mud stain
on my dress.
What am I going to do?
I know. A nice bouquet
of flowers will do the trick.
What do you think, Max?
[Max] Butterfly!
Come on, Max, it's time
to stop chasing after
the butterfly.
I'll just
reset the timer.
Okay, get ready.
Say "cheese" Max.
Butterfly!
[grandma] What
a beautiful picture.
It's the nicest present
I've ever received.
See, Max, I told you Grandma
would love the picture.
What do you have
to say about that?
Butterfly.
[Grandma chuckling]
[Louise reading]
[Ruby] There.
That should do it.
These princess hats are going
to be perfect for our play.
Hmm.
What is it, Louise?
I think they need
something extra.
[both] Ribbons!
[both giggling]
You can have a blue ribbon
on yours and I'll have
a pink ribbon on mine.
Grandma's going to be so
surprised when she sees
our play.
I just know she's
going to love it.
But, first, we need
a name for our play,
so we can make tickets.
Hmm. Well,
our play is about
two princesses
who go to a ball.
How about we call it
"Two Beautiful Princesses
Go To The Ball"?
I like it.
But don't forget one other
important person,
our handsome prince.
Oh, Louise, that's the best
prince crown I've ever seen.
Maybe we should call it
"Two Beautiful Princesses
And A Handsome Prince
Go To The Ball".
That's right.
We need someone to play
the part of a handsome prince.
[Max] Dragon!
Roar!
[Ruby] Max, you've been
playing dragon for three days.
Ever since he got his
new Dragon Mask, he's
been wearing it non-stop.
[Louise whispering]
Max, why don't you take
a break from playing dragon
and be the handsome
prince in our play?
Dragon!
Roar!
No, Max, we don't
need a dragon.
We need a handsome prince.
Look, the crown
fits perfectly.
All you need now
is your cape.
All princes need a cape.
Go get your cape and come
back, so we can rehearse,
okay, Max?
Dragon!
Roar!
Not a dragon prince,
a real prince.
Hurry and change, Max.
[jazz music playing]
Dragon!
Roar!
There, our audience is ready.
Let's save this chair
for Grandma.
We should get dressed
for our dress rehearsal.
You look great,
Princess Louise.
Well, you look enchanting,
Princess Ruby.
[both giggling]
Now all we need is our
handsome, charming--
[Max] Dragon!
Roar!
No, Max, we're not putting
on a play about a dragon.
Come on, Max, you go change
into your prince costume
while Louise and I set up.
We don't have much time
before Grandma gets here.
And we still need
to hang the curtains.
You're right.
Let's get to it.
It looks just like
a real stage.
Should we hand out
the programs now
or wait until
your Grandma arrives?
Let's wait. First, let's
try out our curtains.
Yes.
[Ruby] Okay.
Ready, Princess Louise?
[Louise] Ready, Princess Ruby.
[Ruby] On the count of three.
One, two, three! Tada!
[Louise giggles]
[gasps] Oh, no.
Ruby, look.
Sally Swims-a-Lot
is missing.
Oh, no.
[Max] Roar!
I know you're a dragon, Max,
and dragons kidnap dollies
and take them back
to their lair.
But I need Sally Swims-a-Lot.
She's part of our audience.
Thank you, Max.
If you don't want to be
the prince, Max, then you
can't be in our play.
Go play dragon
some place else.
We'll just put on
our play without you.
I guess one of us
is going to have to play
the part of the prince.
I don't mind, really.
No, Louise, you're
my guest and you
should get first choice.
Well, we can't have
two princes.
All right, Louise,
I think you'll make
a wonderful prince.
Then it's settled.
You wait here and I'll go
and get the prince's costume
from Max's room.
Max, are you in here?
How do I look?
Perfect.
We should rehearse our lines
so our play will be ready when
Grandma comes.
Ladies and dollies, we
would like to welcome
you to our play
"The Beautiful Princess
And The Handsome Prince
Go To The Royal Ball."
I have traveled far
and wide to find a princess
as lovely as you.
Would you do me the honor
of being my guest
at the grandest royal
ball in all the land?
-How was that?
-That was great.
Now it's my turn.
I would be delighted.
Shall we go then,
my lady?
My carriage awaits.
Dragon!
Roar!
[Ruby] Get out of here!
This is no place for you!
Shoo!
Roar!
Now, where were we?
Oh, yes.
[Grandma] Bravo! Bravo!
[Ruby] Grandma.
That's the best play
I've ever seen.
-But--
-I especially love the ending.
What a surprising twist.
What surprising twist?
When the princess
saved the prince.
[Louise] Saved the prince?
[Ruby] From what?
Dragon!
Roar!
