Clifford Page #5

---

So, explain to me what happened.

Larry Gold tapes my answering machine message.

Then he tapes the conversation

with me on the phone.

He edits the two of them together.

The police play it for me and I think I'm going insane.

That's sick.

It gets better, the two cops

who arrested me at the party,

Larry's cousins.

I don't think that's funny at all.

I didn't either. And then I sat down

and I started thinking about it and

I got the laughing.

It is funny.

- Those guys are certifiable.

- Tell me about it.

Oh God, I'm so releaved.

Clifford, see, didn't I tell you

everything would ve just fine.

Yes, you did. But I don't like those men,

Miss Sarah. They're liars.

And everybody knows that

liars eventually get caught.

That's right, you little .....

Okay, I'll see you tomorrow and try to get

some sleep, Martin. You look exhausted.

Yeah, kinda little work to catch up with.

I'm sorry, I was such a jerk

about your trip with Ellis.

I know sweetheart, I know.

I'm gonna be staying at the Wimberton hotel,

so you can phone my suite every 5 minutes.

- Your suite?

- Yes.

Bye Clifford, try to make sure

by the time I get back here

uncle's not working on a ....

- Bye.

- Bye bye.

- Bye.

- Get in the car!

I am now out on bail.

Are you listening to me?

Are you?

Yes, I am.

I've a criminal record.

- But you know what you're gonna have?

- What?

You're gonna have a one way

ticket back to your parents.

Don't send me back to my parents.

They hate me.

Not as much as I do!

Oh, stop with the fake tears.

I'm not faking. I'm sorry.

I'll do anything.

Just .... back to my parents.

I even tell Miss Sarah that I was the one who

put that lipstick in your pocket which I didn't.

He was her father who did it.

He wanted to embarrass your.

He said that you are a simple minded moron.

Sarah's father called me a moron?

Simple minded moron.

And Sarah's father put

the lipstick in my pocket.

Yes.

- Why would he do that?

- Because he hates you.

I don't know why.

I certainly think you're nice and love sort.

I suppose that Sarah's father also

put the hot souce in my drink.

- That I don't know.

- You don't? - No.

- You have no idea who did that?

- I was suspect the bartender.

Just theory.

You know, I was suspect someone else!

Who could that be?

If you're about to say

what I think you're about to say,

that I don't wanna hear it!

Because Sarah Davis

loves you Uncle Martin.

She wouldn't do that.

Oh, she has problems with you

but every relationship goes through that.

You don't think it was me?

Oh, uncle Martin!

And I had to be naked in the jail.

I was strip searched.

I was humiliated.

I know, I'm sorry. I'm sorry

that I made the tape.

Oh, God, I was wrong, Uncle Martin,

why did I do it, why?

I think I know why.

Because I was so angry

that you for having promise

to take me Dinosaur World and then

breaking that promise, uncle Martin.

What is it with you with

Dinosaur World? It's a sick thing.

You're obsessed with this Dinosaur World.

I believe that the Dinosaur World is the only place

where a boy like me can be happy.

Listen to me, listen to me,

shut up a minute.

Listen, shut up.

- You're listening to me?

- I'm listening. - Allright.

Don't put the Dinosaur on me like that.

Just leave the dinosaur over there.

Just leave the dinosaur over there like that.

I'm trying to tell you something.

When I,

When I was a little boy,

You touch the dinosaur I'm gonna kill you.

Stephen wanted to stand here.

Give me the dinosaur.

Give it. I'll rip its head off.

God Almighty, boy!

Now listen to me. I'm trying to

tell you something to help you.

Clifford.

I'm trying to tell you something about

when I was a little boy grown up in Chicago.

There was a great amusement park called, Riverview.

Your father tell you about it?

Yes.

I thought that was the only place

where a boy like me could be happy.

But my father never took me there.

And then one day,

they tore it down,

before I ever got to go there.

I understand how you feel.

- You do?

- Yes.

- Does it ever get easier, my uncle Martin?

- Not really.

Now, listen to me.

Here's the deal.

You go to your room, write a confession

that I will take to the police

and I will not send you

back to your parents.

And you tell Sarah that you

and I are the best of friend.

- We are, are we?

- Shut up.

But if you even look at me funny,

If you do one thing that I find weird,

which is you know like,

you middle name,

You're doing it right now!

Can you just act like a human

boy for one minute here?

Look at me like a person.

You can't do it more than a few second.

Look at me like a human boy.

Don't mess around with me!

You gonna be back on that plane.

Do you understand me?

I understand that I love you!

Allright, let it go.

Stephen want back!

He says please don't him,

he's the only one left in his family.

Allright, you know something, take the dinosaur and go to your room

I don't want the dinosaur,

you take the dinosaur.

Go ahead, go ahead,

write you confession.

Okay, I've got 20 hours.

I can do it if I don't panic.

Clifford, come on down,

get some lunch.

Clifford?

"My dearest uncle Martin.

I've failed you in so many ways

that decided to take the 1:45 train to

San Francisco to try to find Miss Sarah Davis.

I love you with all the love I have

in my little boy heart." Clifford.

Oh my God, what've I done.

Clifford.

Clifford.

- Have you seen this boy?

- No, sir.

- Have you seen this boy?

- No, I haven't.

Would you like it, ha?

Hello.

Who is this?

This is Brian, who is this?

Whose house is this?

So, the kid is doing the party,

I think his name is

Clifford!

Is Clifford there?

Oh, no. Actually, last time I saw him he was

in the backyard bashing the sh*t out of the pinata.

He's said we could use this house for the party

if we took him to Dinosaur World tomorrow.

- You want me to get him?

- No, I'll get him later.

- Where you going?

- The airport.

Swing by the .... Hotel.

Driver, let's just forget about the Hotel.

Let's go right to the airport.

Wait a minute, wait a minute,

stop the car, stop the car.

I'll get out here.

This is not just from me.

This is from all office at the company.

Let me help you with that

You like it?

I don't know what to say, it's very beautiful.

What? What's the matter?

Nothing.

I'm so excited.

I thought you would be.

I'd like to go to the ladies room,

see how it looks on me.

I'll be right back.

Excuse me.

- What are you doing spying on me like this?

- What am I doing!

What are you doing?

What's with the neckles?

He didn't give this neckles to me.

The whole company gave this neckles to me.

In any way, I have no intention

actually keeping it.

You are such a baby.

You know, Clifford should be babysitting you.

No thanks, I'd prefer babysitters

who aren't affiliated with the Manson family.

What are you talking about?

Where is Clifford?

Oh, don't worry about Clifford.

He'll be happy if you give him a ton of sugar
