Chapter 10
Mike and Sulley froze as the can rolled across the room. It came to a stop, apparently undamaged. Both monsters let out a sigh of relief.But just then, the can burst open — and a horrifying scream escaped! Students gasped and ran for cover as the can spun wildly around the room like a def lating balloon while the ear-splitting scream escaped. At last, it fell in front of Mike and Sulley with a gurgle. The scream can was completely empty.
A huge dark f igure, wings outstretched, landed in front of Mike and Sulley. They were face to face with Dean Hardscrabble. She picked up her drained can. Randy immediately disappeared.
“I’m so sorry,” Mike said.
“It was an accident,” Sulley added.
Dean Hardscrabble shrugged and looked into the empty, twisted can. “What, this?” Her tone was unnervingly steady. “My one souvenir from a lifetime of scaring? Well, accidents happen, don’t they? The important thing is no one got hurt.”
Mike and Sulley were stunned. “You’re taking this remarkably well,” Mike said gratefully.
Dean Hardscrabble nodded. “Now, let’s continue the exams,” she said, looking at Mike. “Mr. Wazowski, I’m a five-year-old girl on a farm in Kansas afraid of lightning. Which scare do you use?”
Mike looked around, confused. “Shouldn’t I go up on the simulator?” he asked.
Dean Hardscrabble leaned toward him. “Which scare do you use?” she repeated sternly.
Mike quickly gathered his wits and answered, “That is a Shadow Approach with a Cackle Holler.”
“Demonstrate,” Dean Hardscrabble said.
Mike took a deep breath. This was it. It was all on the line. But before he could even begin, Dean Hardscrabble spoke again: “Stop! Thank you.”
“But I didn’t get to —” Mike started to say.
“I’ve seen enough,”Dean Hardscrabble said, and turned away. She looked at Sulley to indicate it was his turn. “I’m a seven-year-old boy —”
Before she could complete her sentence, Sulley stepped up and let out a ferocious ROARRR!
Dean Hardscrabble’s dragon eyes narrowed. “I wasn’t finished,” she snapped.
“I don’t need any of that stuf f to scare,” Sulley replied conf idently.
“That ‘stuf f,’ ” Dean Hardscrabble said, “would have informed you that this particular child is afraid of snakes. So a roar wouldn’t make him scream. It would make him cry, alerting his parents, exposing the monster world, destroying life as we know it, and of course we can’t have that. So I’m afraid I cannot recommend that you continue in the Scaring Program. Good day.”
Sulley laughed, unable to believe she could possibly mean it. Then he saw the cold look in her eyes. “Wait, what? But I’m a Sullivan!”
Dean Hardscrabble smiled. “Well, then I’m sure your family will be very disappointed.”
Sulley looked around the room, confused. He was sure someone was going to say it was all a big mistake. But then he spotted Johnny and his ROR brothers as they left the gallery, taking his fraternity jacket with them.
As Sulley stumbled away in shock, Dean Hardscrabble turned back to Mike. “And, Mr. Wazowski, I’m afraid what you lack is something that cannot be taught. You’re not scary. You will not be continuing in the Scaring Program.”
It hit Mike like a freight train. “No, you’ve made a mistake,” he said. “Please, let me try the simulator. I’ll surprise you!”
“I doubt that very much,” Dean Hardscrabble replied. She nodded to Professor Knight, who motioned the next student forward.
Mike was dumbstruck. Just like that, it was over. He left the class feeling like someone had sucked all the oxygen out of his world.
第 10 章
麥克和毛怪怔怔地看著收集罐在教室里滾著，然后停住了，顯然沒(méi)有受到損壞。他倆都舒了一口氣。但就在這時(shí)，收集罐突然迸裂開(kāi)來(lái)，發(fā)出一陣可怕的尖叫聲。緊接著它就像一只漏氣的氣球一般在大廳里到處亂竄，一串串震耳欲聾的尖叫聲從里面噴涌而出，同學(xué)們被嚇得喘著粗氣，紛紛找地方躲避。最終，收集罐掉在了麥克和毛怪面前，發(fā)出“咯咯”的聲響。現(xiàn)在，它徹底成了個(gè)空罐子。
一個(gè)張著翅膀的巨大黑影落在麥克和毛怪面前，郝刻薄院長(zhǎng)和他們面對(duì)面站著。院長(zhǎng)撿起那只空空的收集罐。藍(lán)道嚇得立刻隱形了。
“真的很抱歉。”麥克說(shuō)道。
“這是個(gè)意外。”毛怪補(bǔ)充道。
郝刻薄院長(zhǎng)聳了聳肩，看了看空空的破罐子。“什么？這個(gè)嗎？”她的語(yǔ)氣鎮(zhèn)定得叫人害怕，“這個(gè)我一生驚嚇事業(yè)的見(jiàn)證品嗎？嗯，意外總在發(fā)生，不是嗎？好在沒(méi)人受傷。”
麥克和毛怪感到非常震驚。“院長(zhǎng)，您真是寬宏大量。”麥克感激地說(shuō)。
院長(zhǎng)點(diǎn)點(diǎn)頭說(shuō)：“好了，我們繼續(xù)考試吧。”她看著麥克說(shuō)道：“華斯基先生，我是堪薩斯農(nóng)場(chǎng)的一個(gè)五歲小女孩兒，害怕閃電。你打算用哪種驚嚇?lè)绞剑?rdquo;
麥克四下環(huán)顧，表情困惑。“我是不是該先進(jìn)模擬艙？”他問(wèn)道。
郝院長(zhǎng)朝他俯下身，嚴(yán)厲地重復(fù)了一遍：“回答我，你打算用哪種驚嚇?lè)绞剑?rdquo;
麥克立即恢復(fù)了理智，回答道：“我會(huì)在黑暗中靠近，同時(shí)發(fā)出‘噼啪’的聲音。”
“開(kāi)始示范。”院長(zhǎng)說(shuō)。
麥克做了個(gè)深呼吸，準(zhǔn)備按部就班地進(jìn)行。但還沒(méi)等他開(kāi)始，郝院長(zhǎng)又發(fā)話了：“可以了，謝謝。”
麥克試圖解釋：“可是我還沒(méi)……”
“這就夠了。”院長(zhǎng)說(shuō)著，轉(zhuǎn)過(guò)身看向毛怪，示意輪到他了：“我是一個(gè)七歲的小男孩……”
院長(zhǎng)的話還沒(méi)說(shuō)完，毛怪就走上前，發(fā)出了一聲兇狠的吼叫。
郝刻薄院長(zhǎng)瞇起她那雙龍眼，厲聲說(shuō)道：“我還沒(méi)說(shuō)完。”
毛怪自信地回答：“我不用聽(tīng)那些東西就能嚇唬人。”
院長(zhǎng)說(shuō)道：“那些‘東西’會(huì)讓你知道這個(gè)孩子最怕的是蛇，所以大吼不會(huì)令他尖叫，只會(huì)讓他大哭，招來(lái)他的父母，從而暴露我們的世界，摧毀我們的生活，這當(dāng)然是絕對(duì)不能發(fā)生的。所以，恐怕我無(wú)法贊成你繼續(xù)留在驚嚇學(xué)院學(xué)習(xí)了。再見(jiàn)。”
毛怪笑了，他不相信院長(zhǎng)會(huì)是說(shuō)真的。接著他看到了院長(zhǎng)冷冰冰的眼神：“等等，什么？我可是蘇利文家的！”
郝刻薄院長(zhǎng)微笑了一下：“是嘛，那我相信你的家族一定非常失望。”
毛怪迷茫地環(huán)顧著整個(gè)大廳，他確信今天的事一定是個(gè)天大的誤會(huì)。但是緊接著，他看到強(qiáng)哥和精嚇會(huì)的成員們離開(kāi)了大廳，而且還帶走了他的會(huì)服。
毛怪震驚不已，踉踉蹌蹌地向外走去。郝刻薄院長(zhǎng)轉(zhuǎn)過(guò)身對(duì)麥克說(shuō)：“還有你，華斯基先生，你所缺少的恐怕是天賦，而這一點(diǎn)后天無(wú)從彌補(bǔ)。你一點(diǎn)兒也不嚇人。所以你也不能留在驚嚇學(xué)院繼續(xù)學(xué)習(xí)了。”
麥克聽(tīng)到這句話就像是被貨車撞了一下。“不，您弄錯(cuò)了，”他說(shuō)，“求您了，讓我進(jìn)模擬艙試試，我會(huì)給您驚喜的！”
“我對(duì)此深表懷疑。”院長(zhǎng)說(shuō)著，朝奈特教授點(diǎn)點(diǎn)頭，于是教授示意下一位學(xué)生繼續(xù)考試。
麥克目瞪口呆。就這樣，一切都結(jié)束了。他離開(kāi)了教室，感覺(jué)就好像有人從他的世界里抽走了所有的氧氣。
