Clifford Page #2

---

Have you ever heard the word "stupid"?

- Stupid? We say stupid?

- Stupid!

Are you saying this house couldn't work for kids?

Oh, no. It's perfect.

Where are the kids, honey?

They're just out back playing on the cliff.

I can't believe what I'm hearing, Sarah.

- I love kids.

- Oh, you don't. I saw you at the daycare today.

Oh, no, no, you're talking about

other people's children.

You just see me with the kid I know.

You know, my own flesh and blood.

My nephew!

- You never mention, you had a nephew.

- I love my nephew.

What's his name?

I wanna say, Mason.

Clifford, little Clifford.

How old is he?

I haven't seen him was since the christening.

He'd be older now.

Older now?

- Yeah, like 10.

You know, my brother Julie and

I don't speak as much as we'd like to.

I will tell you this. I've heard that

Clifford is a very special boy.

Where is that little monster?

Well, you did it, didn't you?

You did it again, didn't you?

You're banned from the flight!

They're not gonna allow you back on the plane.

Which means that I'm gonna miss

the convention tomorrow.

Which means I'm gonna lose

thousands of dollars in speakers fees.

Do you understand me?

Do you understand what--

Where did you get that walkman?

Did you steal it? - No.

Oh, my God! Is there no end to your maddness?

No, a kindly old preist gave it to me, da.

- You're lying!

- No.

You're lying to your own father's face!

I have a good one to leave you right here, you little animal.

What a terrible thing to say

to such a sweet child.

I'm dreadfully sorry, Mrs. extra wide load.

What are you packeting now, ha?

About 2000 dozen jelly donughts a day, ha?

Julien, calm down. Your heart.

Daddy, it's coming.

Oh, God. Oh, God.

Theodora, what am I gonna do?

I gotta be on that plane!

- Pappy, pappy, pappy.

- What?

I have a great idea. Doesn't

uncle Martin live in Los Angeles?

Maybe, I can go to his house.

And then you could go to Hawaii

and I could go to Dinasour World.

- Sarah!

- Martin. - Yes.

Martin, it's Julien.

Your brother.

- Your brother Julien.

- Yes.

Martin, look, I know that I haven't made

much of an attempt to keep in touch over the years.

And, I wouldn't blame you if you hang up on me.

But don't hang up, OK?

I'm in a teribble dilemma.

I have tramendous favor to ask you.

I can't believe it.

He went for it.

I'm gonna go to Dinasour World.

I told him that I have this lucrative speaking engagement,

- and then Clifford got airsick.

- Dinosaur world I'm going to.

He almost seemed excited about it.

Excuse me, I'm Martin Daniels.

I'm here to pick up my nephew, Clifford.

- Do you have an identification?

- Yeah.

Right. He's in the bathroom resting.

- Why don't you come with me.

- Thank you.

Clifford.

This is so cute!

Come here, look!

I LOVE MY UNCLE MARTIN

- Clifford.

- Don't reject me!

- Uncle Martin?

- Yes.

Oh, I'm gonna go big!

- Dearest uncle Martin?

- Yes, Clifford.

Can we go to Dinosaur World now?

Dinasour World?

It's closed. It's 22:30, Clifford.

But, I'll let you know a little secret.

I've got a lifetime pass to Dinasour World,

because I designed Larry the--

Scary Rex? You designed

Larry the Scary Rex?

I'm Larry the Scary Rex,

I'm a scary dinasour.

But don't be scared of

my sharp sharp teeth,

and my mighty mighty roar.

- Oh, boy. You're some sort of hero!

- Let's get your bags!

Somebody stole my dog, Snickers!

- Calm down.

Have your guys have loaded

everything on flight 7-91 yet?

Well, so far missing up

mountain bike, a stereo,

a surf board and a big brown dog!

You brought a lot of stuff!

I'm sorry uncle Martin,

my dad's scared of burglars.

He makes us take everything

when we go on a trip.

- And your dog?

- Couldn't leave my Sneakers at home.

Of course you couldn't.

Sarah's gonna be so excited to meet you,

I told her how special you are to me.

But we've never met before!

That's not true.

I was with you at the christening

I spent the better part of a

whole day in your company.

I've the utmost admiration to you.

Oh, uncle Martin!

- Okay, you can let go now.

- Okey dokey, sir.

Oh, Sarah loves dogs.

Come on, Sneakers.

Come on, Sneakers.

Please, boy. Get out.

Sarah!

Don't judge me unle Martin.

It was Stephen's fault.

- Shame on you, shame on your eyes!

- What?

- Sarah.

- Martin.

- Are you okay?

- Oh, you scared me!

- That was a lausy trick!

- What trick?

Your stupid dinosaur in the shower!

Oh, no! That was Clifford.

- Who the hell is Clifford?

My nephew, Clifford. Remember

I was just telling you about him.

Your nephew's here?

I got a call from my Brother Julie

and his flying to Hawaii

I look after him for a week.

Of course I would. I mean,

he is a wonderful kid.

Come on, meet him!

Okay.

Hi, uncle Martin. I hope, your friend

doesn't mind that I had myself to a snack.

- That's okay.

- Martin.

Clifford, this is Sarah Davis.

- Hello.

- Hello, Mrs. Sarah Davis.

That's a lovely bathrobe you wearing.

I'm sure anyone else who wouldn't look half as lovely.

Thank you. What a sweet thing to say.

- Isn't he everything I sad he was.

- I love you my uncle Martin!

- And I you, Clinton.

- Clifford! - Clifford.

Isn't there an incredible

family resemblance? Look at this.

Well, I guess so, yes.

Well, I'd like to see a lot more of you Clifford.

Perhaps you can convince

your uncle to make sure of that.

Absolutely. Alright now sleepyhead.

We gotto get you to uncle Martin's.

Normally I would despise when someone

ruffles my hair like that, uncle Martin,

but not when you do it.

- Isn't he something.

- Yes, certainly is.

Okay honey, let's go.

- Good night, darling.

- Good night.

Okay, Clifford. Come on.

Good night to you.

Good night, sweet Sarah.

Be all your dreams be pleasant one.

Come on, sweety, time to go to bed.

Like other native peoples, the lake girls

copy the movement of animals.

This dance then called the Bumba.

Time to turn off the video.

OK, time to go to sleep.

Stephen felt that it was a

very cruel action, uncle Martin.

Then would you tell Stephen,

that it's 2 o'clock in the morning

and we have to get up very early.

Because tomorrow we're

going to Dinosaur World.

You're the bestest uncle

in the whole wide world!

Thanks.

- Good night, Clifford.

- Good night, uncle Martin.

Good night, Clifford.

Good night, uncle Martin.

You wouldn't lie to me,

would you uncle Martin?

Cause if you did I'd be so angry,

I don't know what I do.

No, I wouldn't lie to you.

Get in the bed!

Cosey, cosey.

Uncle Martin, whose ring is this?

- Where did you get that?

- Dresser over there.

- Give me that.

- No.

That's very vauable. That's my

grandmother's wedding ring.

Then wouldn't she be

my great grandmother?

- Yes.

- Then, wouldn't this ring just as mine as yours!

What's your point?

I wanna marry miss Sarah Davis

and give her this ring.

That's very sweet, but it's very unrealistic.

- I still want the ring!

- Well, you can't have it.

But it sparkles.
