Curious George Page #3

just for you.

You're the hero of the moment.

- Oh, have you seen the surprise?

- Surprise, sir?

Look out your front window.

- My window?

- Yes, yes, take a looksy.

- Okay.

- You're really going to like it.

Well, what do you think?

Speechless.

I knew you'd love it.

Ted, you deserved it.

I don't know what I would have done.

You single-handedly saved the museum.

Mr Bloomsberry,

I have to tell you something.

Yes, I'm all ears.

- It's about...

- Yes, what?

- My hat?

- Sure, wear your hat.

Wear your best suit. Just get down here.

There can't be two hats like that.

Pet?

Pet.

My hat? My yellow hat?

No, no, no, this can't be the same hat.

It's the same hat.

And the same monkey.

Wait!

You followed me all the way from Africa...

To play peekaboo.

No.

No again.

No.

No.

No. No. No.

No. No. No.

No. No. No. No.

Hold the phone.

No, no, no, I don't want to play peekaboo.

Open up, 17-B. I know you're in there.

Open up! Lvan don't like to wait!

- What? Oh, no. Monkey. Monkey.

- Come on, open the door!

Where are you?

Oh, hi. Ivan!

I'm smelling pet.

Pet? No. No, no pet here. Can't have a pet.

Wait. Isn't there a no-pet policy?

- Yes.

- Hey, you can't just barge in here.

Apparently you can.

Pet is close.

- What?

- Nothing.

Just practising for when I find pet.

Monkey. Monkey, no.

Down. Down.

Down. No, no, no!

Why you yell when I'm right next to you?

No reason.

What?

Milk is sour. Don't drink.

Bingo! Now, move, please.

New game. New game. Hide-and-seek.

Okay, stay right there.

Good monkey.

Did you hear something?

No.

- How about that?

- Nope.

If you're asking, I didn't hear that either.

Move self.

Oh, that.

I unroll it ahead of time.

Helps when you're in a rush.

Where the pet? Where the...

Can't find pet nowhere.

Very strange. Nose does not lie.

Well, that was fun.

Next time we'll have to do it at your place,

okay, Ivan?

Miss Plushbottom.

Oh, no. That's trouble.

Monkey! Oh, Mr Monkey.

If I find pet, you are ewicted.

- E-what-ed?

- Evicted!

Good to know.

Oh, no.

Oh, that's a big drop, Ted. Don't look down.

Rickety's okay.

Just as long as there's no wind.

Oh, sweet mother of science!

Cramp. Cramp again. Cramp. Cramp.

Darn that cramp.

No, no, no, no.

No, these are not the colours I wanted.

I told you to match them to the City Opera.

They are the same colours,

Miss Plushbottom.

They may look like it...

but do they sing to me?

You are fired

- Hey, she fired us in song.

- It still hurts.

And now, I must have a soak.

Okay, fellows, last stop. Everybody off.

No, paint? You've got to be kidding me.

Who leaves eight open cans of paint

lying around?

Of course he went in there.

Oh, boy.

Monkey. Monkey. Over here.

Come, monkey. Come on.

Monkey, peekaboo. Peekaboo.

Monkey!

No, no, no, no, quiet.

What's that?

Do yourself a favour. You're going

to want to put the cucumbers back on.

Ivan!

I knew it!

You are red-handed with pet!

And while we're on the subject...

I think you have a serious pest problem

in this building, Ivan.

I mean, don't you spray for jungle animals

every spring?

I specifically remember

such language in my lease.

Let go. Not helping.

Look at my walls!

- And you!

- Moi?

You hired a monkey to paint your apartment.

How do you sleep at night?

He is your monkey! Now what do you say?

Come on.

That could be any guy in a yellow suit...

silk-starched collar, black spotted tie.

Ivan!

Well, that was fun. Bye-bye.

Sorry. My fault.

Lovely apartment.

Could we borrow your window? Got to go.

You are no more 17-B!

You are kicked from building.

Just to be clear, though,

the monkey's kicked? Not me?

Get out!

Foot caught.

What am I going to do with you?

Come on. We're almost at the museum.

Act natural.

Try to blend in.

We're all people watching

Come on.

The other people watching we

Nobody told me what to do

I can't stop breaking all the rules

And I'm just people watching

Oh, that tickles.

He's grooming me. Everyone's doing it.

- They're getting small monkeys and...

- Hi.

- Never mind.

- So cute.

I forgot all about them.

Quick, monkey, this way.

Okay.

Oh, no.

What have they done?

These are cheesy, ridiculous.

Okay, that's kind of fun.

How much longer

is this going to take?

Let's all be patient, please.

Ted will be more than happy to answer

all your questions regarding the giant idol.

- Yes, but where is he?

- Oh, boy.

- I just spoke to Ted. He's on his way.

- Run, monkey. Run.

Quick, in here.

What am I going to do?

This is beyond bad.

Hey, monkey.

Quiet. Monkey. I said, quiet!

Well, we gave it a shot, didn't we?

I mean, huge monkey statues,

they come and go...

but parking lots are forever.

Excuse me. Would you please...

Oh, look who's back.

Would you stop that? I have to concentrate.

And he's wearing a yellow suit.

What, is he officially the golden child now?

Monkey, put that down. No.

Oh, I've got problems.

Oh, do I have problems.

Glorious day, Ted has problems.

What am I going to do? What can I do?

There's no way around it.

I have to tell Mr Bloomsberry the truth.

- The horrible...

- Horrible?

...awful...

- Awful?

...devastatingly crushing truth.

- Devastatingly crushing?

His enormous idol looks

like it came out of a cereal box.

Wow, that must be

a huge box of cereal, or...

It's only three inches tall.

Yes! This is great.

What a great day for parking lots.

Oh, my body.

Hey, a dollar.

Yeah, it spins. Fun, huh?

Ted? Hello?

Oh, there you are? What's with that?

Clovis, I can explain.

I should hope so

because that is a lot of yellow for one man.

You see, it's...

I thought you were colour blind.

I can see that.

Oh, before I forget,

here's a bill for my services.

$2,000? What's this for?

The exhibition stage

for the Lost Shrine of Zagawa.

- Mr Bloomsberry?

- Watch this.

Behold the Eighth Wonder

of the World!

Clovis whipped it up.

Doesn't it take your breath away?

More than you know.

Okay, let's get down to business.

Where's the shrine?

What's that?

Behold the Eighth Wonder

of the World!

But, Ted, that can't be the idol.

I don't understand. We saw the picture.

The statue is huge.

I'm sorry, sir, but it is.

I've been trying to tell you, this is this.

Oh, Ted, what are we going to do?

Okay, here he is, everybody. Right this way.

The man of the hour. Our hero.

No pushing. We'll all get a chance.

Hey, Ted, they can't wait

for you to tell them...

about the massively gigantic,

huge, enormous idol.

Don't be shy. Right up there. Come on.

Now's not the time for butterflies, Ted.

Speak right into the mike.

You're good?

You checked that that's working, right?

- Louder.

- Any questions?

Over here. Can you tell how old it is?

Sounded like "old,"

but what she said was "big. "

How big is it?

You know, I'm not sure about that.

Could you tell us, was it difficult finding

a boat big enough to bring the idol back?

No. No, didn't have a problem
