I'm always watching. Always...

Roz is a character from—

The doors burst open to reveal an army of CDA agents as they surround the room.

TV tropers! Stay where you are! Number One wants to talk to you!

Roz enters the room.

Hello tropers.

Two and a half years of undercover work were almost wasted when you chose to waste your time on this website. Of course, without your help, I never would have been able to get a self demonstrating page going. So I suppose I should be thanking you...for once. Now, seeing as this operation is highly classified, I have no intention of disclosing all the details about me, but I will say this; so long as some vicious criminal lunatics decide to act out of line, the CDA will be there to put a stop to it. We're always watching them. Always watching...always...

For a brief overview of who I am, my name is Roz, administrative official of Scare Floor F in an undercover capacity for the Child Detection Agency, the organization responsible for preventing human children from entering the monster world. More importantly, where there's a serious crime involved, we personally intervene. For the last two and a half years, I've spent my time attempting to undercover a conspiracy in Monsters, Incorporated involving a prominent scarer kidnapping children to forcibly extract screams from them. My work led me to the conspirator's instigation, one Randall Boggs. But I never would have guessed that this led all the way up to the company's CEO, Henry James Waternoose III, all thanks to the top scare team at the company accidentally intercepting a human girl that got loose in our world. And to think, Sullivan and Wazowski all ended up under my watch because they caused trouble in college. If only Wazowski put half his efforts into filing his paperwork on time.

But as I said, this is all classified. So all the details I can disclose will go below. You'll find instructions on how to file your paperwork properly. And Wazowski, if you ever end up on here, pay attention to this section. I'll be watching you, Wazowski. Always watching... always...

The pink tropes go to accounting. The fuchsia tropes go to purchasing. Ivory tropes go to your immediate supervisor. And I. Get. The Goldenrod. Goldenrod!


  • Always Identical Twins: My sister Roze was given my old job upon my persuasion of the company board. Aside from a different shirt, a bit of hair dye, and no glasses, she's my spitting image. Wazowski won't miss having me around with her in charge.
  • Big Good: My demeanor aside, I act only in the best interest of the security and safety of Monstropolis. So anyone on this website is advised to not try anything. My men are on standby 24 hours a day. And we're always watching...always...
  • Chekhov's Gunman: The files on the Waternoose incident only had my involvement twice in. Only at the end of the incident do I reveal myself.
  • The Cameo: During Wazowski and Sullivan's college days, I had to clean up a mess they made, promising that we would be watching them. Always watching...
  • Clerk:
    From DVD bonus material: "The pink copy [of your carbonless copy paper scare receipt] goes to accounts receivable. The fuchsia copy goes to purchasing. Ivory goes to your immediate supervisor. And I! Get! The goldenrod! Goldenrod!"
  • Cool Old Lady: I am not disclosing my age. But I'm not in charge of the most covert operation in the entire Monstropolis area for no good reason.
  • Deadpan Snarker: "Your stunned silence is very reassuring."
  • Fauxshadowing: Upon closer inspection of the Waternoose incident, it appears my involvement in the conspiracy is as a partaker in it, not the one working to bring it down. You may note that Randall Bogg's Leitmotif plays when I remind Wazowski to file his paperwork, or how I slam his fingers when he asks for the missing child's door key. If you found such actions effective, congratulations for your astute observations. You have only proven the need for the CDA to monitor this website more closely.
  • Foreshadowing: You may note that, upon the CDA's arrival to the factory, I closed the window to my office. Any interaction with my officers may have proven risky to my undercover efforts.
  • Four-Temperament Ensemble: Under the Leukine classification, my efforts to expose Waternoose and Randall Boggs showed my commitment to Monstropolis' security, though I was not directly involved in the entirety of the incident involving Sullivan and Wazowski.
  • The Gadfly: Filming the fictional documentary behind the Waternoose incident gave me a chance to lighten up a little. I never said I couldn't have a little fun.
  • Gonk: I do stick out in comparison to other monsters, considering my appearance.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: I never did say I enjoyed the hardships of preventing crime in Monstropolis. It tested my sanity to have to deal with Wazowski's failure to file his paperwork on time. But I am firmly on the side of justice, and ensured Sullivan said his goodbyes to the girl.
  • Late-Arrival Spoiler: If you don't want my true identity exposed, don't view the files on Sullivan and Wazowski's college days before you see their scaring files. Or better yet, don't read this page.
  • The Mole: As noted in the debriefing, I had spent two and a half years undercover at Monsters, Incorporated to expose a kidnapping plot by Randall Boggs, whose whereabouts are currently unknown.
  • Nepotism: I had the board of directors behind Monsters, Incorporated give my old undercover job as clerk to my sister, Roze, after we busted Waternoose and Sullivan and Wazowski took over. She's better fit for the job than other examples of this, though.
  • Non-Mammalian Hair: How observant.
  • Only One Name: The rest of my name is classified. And if you want to stay out of monster jail, I suggest you don't push it.
  • Perpetual Frowner: There's not much room for joy in my life...comes with the job.
  • Pet the Dog: The child who ended up in our world was far from guilty of the trouble Waternoose caused. It wouldn't have been right to send her home without saying goodbye.
  • Reasonable Authority Figure: My organization may be paranoid about a lot of things (it's our job), but as long as all parties cooperate, I'm willing to meet them halfway.
    Sulley: I just... want to send her home.
    Roz: ...Very good. Bring me a door shredder.
    Sulley: You mean... you mean I can't see her again?
    Roz: That's the way it has to be. I'll give you five minutes.
  • Sitcom Archnemesis: Wazowski, he never filed his paperwork on time. Beyond that, he always did seem to have a distaste for me. Good thing my sister will straighten him out.
  • Strong Family Resemblance: Wazowski thought Roze was so similar to me, I was simply going back in under disguise as a fake sister. Hah.

The sound of the door shredder is heard as the last bit of this page is cut down.

None of this ever happened, gentlemen. And I don't want to see any paperwork on this.
