Curious George Page #5

Official zoo business. Oh, my! Okay.

Wait for me, monkey!

Excuse me. I'm sorry. I'm trying to fly.

More altitude.

Sorry, I need this kite.

How do you steer these things?

Hang on, little fellow. I'm coming.

- Hey, look at that!

- It's some super-hero.

There's a high fly ball

deep in left-centre field. We're going to win!

We lost. And the curse continues.

Monkey!

Monkey! Watch out!

Monkey! No!

Watch out!

George! Whoa!

Got you.

Wow.

You're safe now, George. I've got you.

It's all right. It's okay.

It's okay, George.

George. I like that name. It suits you.

This is how it's supposed to be

Hey, actually, this isn't too bad.

I can't believe I'm doing this.

This is awesome.

I want to be where the water below

gives a gift to the sky

And the clouds give back

every time they cry

And make the grass grow green

Beneath my toes

And if the sun comes out

I'll paint a picture all about

The colours I've been dreaming of

The hours just don't seem enough

To put it all together

Maybe it's as strange as it seems

And the trouble I find

is that the trouble finds me

Hey, down there! Hi!

It begins with a dream

And a feeling I get when I look and I see

That this world is a puzzle

Find all of the pieces

And put it all together

And then I'll rearrange it

I'll follow it forever

And maybe it's as strange as it seems

Look, George. There's the museum.

Can you believe all those people down there

are waiting to see this?

Hey! Here it is!

Here's the giant idol, everybody!

If only it was that big.

Yeah, that's it, Ted. Just make it bigger.

No problem.

Wait.

I can't make it bigger, but I know who can.

George, now, hand me that pink balloon,

and hang on!

That's close enough.

Let's see. Not too round.

Well, this one's not round enough.

Yes, perfect!

Huh? Oh, I predicted this.

Balloon travel

finally coming back into fashion.

Clovis, I've got a problem.

- Wait, just a minute. Are you returning him?

- What?

Because I have a strict no-return policy...

on any robotic animals I create,

unless, of course, you have a receipt.

What? No. Clovis, calm down.

This is George. He's a real monkey.

Are you sure?

Yes. I found him in the jungle.

Actually, he found me.

Well, then, George, meet Sparky.

Sparky, George.

- Clovis, I really need your help.

- You do?

Here's my problem.

I see.

Oh, you're just missing the chain.

I think I have an extra one right over...

No, this is the idol.

Ted, I'm not one to judge...

but haven't you exaggerated its size

just a wee bit?

Thanks, Frosty.

What is that?

Nothing.

- Should I be concerned?

- No.

Not if you're behind that wall.

Fire in the hole!

George, look out!

Is that popcorn?

I call it boom-corn.

It's for really big sleepovers

with a lot of kids.

Not quite right.

Soaky, when you're done, could you...

Thank you.

All right, let's see

what we can do with that keychain.

- Idol.

- Idol. Right. Yes.

It's always more fun

To share with everyone

It's always more fun

To share with everyone

If you have one

Here is something you can learn

You can still share

Just by taking turns

Here's an idea.

I can make it into a snow globe,

a rain globe, or...

- Is that a real tornado?

- Fun, huh?

Clovis, focus.

Focus. Bigger. Got you.

Hey, how about something

around that size?

Would that work for you?

What do you mean George made it?

George, is that true?

Don't get mad at him.

Mad? No.

I think he may have the answer

to your problem.

Good work, George.

Clovis, I need to borrow your truck.

My truck?

Thanks, Clove.

Be careful!

What?

You left your squeaky toy

in the back of the truck?

- Come on.

- This is taking too long.

- Oh, no! What's going on?

- When is this museum gonna start?

There are people lined up

all around the block!

I don't understand, Junior.

I thought I told you to cancel the exhibit.

Me? No, Father, please. I don't think so.

Look, I would have done it.

You know, Father, I'm afraid

this has the stink of Ted all over it.

Take a whiff with me.

Yeah.

- Hello?

- Mr Bloomsberry? Ted here.

- Ted?

- How dare... Hang up, Father.

- No, no. No, sir, don't hang up. No.

- Ted, I can't talk.

- Please, no. I know.

- This is really not a good time.

I have the solution.

- Solution?

- I'm sorry. Did he say, "solution"?

The exhibit can open as planned.

How is that possible?

Well, I'll explain it when I see you.

All you need to know is,

the eagle has landed.

- The what?

- Did he say, "beagle"?

- No, I said, "The eagle has landed. "

- Eagle?

What about the idol?

Ask him about the idol.

No, the idol would be the eagle.

Ted, start over.

It's not a big deal. I'll be there in 15 minutes.

Okay, fine. Hurry.

The city is my jungle gym

Look at this big great world

That we're living in

There's lots of fun

to be had on these streets

We can take a ride just you and me

It's a jungle gym

Would you get out of the way?

Man on a mission here.

Trolley cars and buses, too

All the big kids going to school

I'm going to get a treat

from the ice cream man

I'm seeing multiple violations

of rules of the road!

Multiple violations!

The city's nitty gritty

But it's so much fun

Oh, yeah.

A 40 foot monkey causing

unintentional widespread panic? Seen it.

Sha la la la la la la la la la

Sha la la la la la la la la la

Traffic is crazy.

I'm going to get off Broadway and try Sixth.

It's a funky beat

The more I've learned inside the city

Hey, there are lines painted on the street

for a reason!

Oh, yeah? Well,

that's not physically possible for me to do!

So there.

George, take that licence-plate number

down, quickly.

The city's nitty-gritty

George, what are you thinking?

Tighten your seat belt.

Every nutcase in the city

is on the road today.

Wow, Junior is right.

There is a parking problem in this city.

Mr Bloomsberry! Mr Bloomsberry!

Oh, no. Oh, no, no, no, no.

That's it.

Get that little jungle thing out of here

before he destroys something else.

Hold on, there, Son.

Ted, what is this contraption?

Stand back, everyone,

and prepare to be amazed.

Oh, yeah. This ought to be good.

Here, George. Let's show them.

Small idol.

Big idol.

Isn't that thing awesome?

Uh-huh!

- What is it?

- I see.

- Daddy, I'm scared.

- Interesting.

- I don't like it.

- We optically enlarge the statue.

Yes, I suppose this might work.

Yes, this will definitely work.

Well, sir,

the credit really should go to George.

He gave me the idea

as we were floating over the city.

Floating?

You know what?

I'll tell you about it some other time.

Excuse me.

Hi. Voice of reason.

Like to introduce myself. Hello.

Are we so desperate

that we'll lie to our public?

Nonsense. We promised the people

something awe-inspiring...

and we're giving it to them,

thanks to Ted and George.

I knew you wouldn't let me down.

Well, sir, I've got to tell you,

I came pretty close.

No. No, Ted, I am so proud of you.

You're like the son I never had.
