“ | I'm watching you, Wazowski. Always watching... Always!" | „ |
~ Roz's most famous quote. |
“ | Two and a half years of undercover work were almost wasted when you intercepted that child, Mr. Sullivan. Of course, without your help, I never would've known that this went all the way up to Waternoose. | „ |
~ Roz revealing herself to be the leader of the CDA. |
Roz is the overarching protagonist of the 2001 Disney/Pixar film Monsters Inc and in it's 2013 prequel Monsters University. At the end of both movies, she is the leader of the CDA.
She is voiced by Pixar story artist Bob Peterson.
History[]
Monsters, Inc.[]
Roz is a slug-style monster in the movie who appears to be the key master and administrator for Scare Floor F, holding all the keys to children's closet doors at Monsters, Inc. She is responsible for all of the paperwork done by Mike Wazowski, and she often works at an office near Scare Floor F that can be separated from the rest of the factory via a retractable shutter. Roz slams the shutter shut on Mike's hands at one point, crushing them and causing him to scream in pain.
At the end of the film, it turns out that Roz is Agent 001 and the leader of the CDA. She reveals that she was undercover for two and a half years at Monsters Inc. to investigate a subversive plot, which Mike and Sulley nearly ruined when Boo came into their care. However, she also credits them for linking Waternoose to the crimes when he would have otherwise walked free. She gives Mike and Sulley 5 minutes to return Boo back to her room before anything happens to her. After Boo's door is shredded, Roz demands all documents and records on this incident destroyed.
Monsters University[]
Roz makes a quick cameo near the end of the prequel when Mike and Sulley are able to escape the human camp and are taken by the CDA. She is shown dressed up as a CDA agent with her uniform covering her entire body except for a transparent glass "dome" revealing her hair, but her size and voice still serve as a give away.
When Terri asks what's going to happen to them, Roz states that Dean Hardscrabble will decide that. But to rest assured, she then adds that she'll be watching them, "Always watching," another homage to her quote M.I.

Trivia[]
- Roz is voiced by a male.
- Roz is similar to Ethyl Phillips from the 1991-94 television series Dinosaurs in personality.
- Roz bears some resemblance to Muriel Finster from the show Recess, since the two are both portrayed as elderly females that sport squinty eyes, horn-rimmed glasses and grouchy demeanors.
- Roz also shares some similarities with Beau Neville from the 1998 Warner Bros. animated film, Scooby Doo on Zombie Island. They both have short tempers about any inconvenience or mistake, talk with somewhat of a rasp in their voices, and both turn out to be undercover investigators trying to solve a mystery (Beau is an undercover detective for the New Orleans police, and Roz is the leader of the CDA).
- Roz has randomly appeared in three of the Outtake clips as follows:
- When Boo flushes the toilet, Sulley opens the stall door to check on her, only for Roz to come out and greet him, scaring Sulley. They both laugh. Her spoken line is "Hello. Ahh haa haa!"
- As the CDA is shaving and decontaminating George Sanderson (due to having a white sock attached to him) and drops the cylinder, he is replaced by Roz and she and the CDA laugh. In addition, it's the only clip where Sulley is not present on-screen. Her line is "Ta daaa!! Ahh haa haa!"
- When Sulley walks over to the closet to reassure Boo that it doesn't have a monster (namely Randall) in it, he opens it and Roz is just in there and she, Sulley, and Boo laugh. Her line is "Guess who? Ahh haa haa!"
