Curious George Page #6

Father, I'm your son, remember?

Yes, but I had you.

Ted, this is amazing.

Yes, of course. What was I thinking?

Are you seeing what I'm seeing?

Isn't that cool? Can you believe it?

Hey, monkey. Monkey want a sip?

Go on. Take it. Yummy. Creamy.

Yes. Good. Drink it.

Say, I guess the world didn't need

another parking lot after all.

Hey, you did it. Another great Ted moment.

Thank you.

We've got nobody to thank but you.

George, what did you do?

Oh, Ted, I warned you about that monkey.

You don't give a monkey a latte.

And now he's gone and destroyed

the last chance we had...

of saving my father's museum.

It's my father's only museum.

What have you done, Ted?

What have you done?

He's right, Ted.

We've just been fooling ourselves.

- It's over.

- Agreed.

But, sir, I still think we could...

Ted, I said, it's over.

It's okay, Father. It's okay.

I'm here. Your son.

Your real son. Junior, not Ted.

Yes, Father, you'll be fine.

No, George. You just stay here, okay?

I have to do this.

Excuse me.

I'm...

I'm sorry, everybody. The museum's closed.

What?

But for how long?

Forever.

But I want to see the giant idol.

There never was one.

It was all a big mistake.

We've been waiting for hours.

This is terrible.

What a rip-off.

I'm so sorry.

I have to go.

I'll be back. I promise.

It's too late to cheer me up.

You think life's just nonstop fun and games,

don't you?

Well, it's not, George. At least, not for me.

George, please just leave me alone.

You're better off without me.

This is not good, you and me.

You belong in the jungle.

I belong somewhere without a monkey.

I don't want... I can't have you in my life.

Please, just go.

Do you understand?

No. Look, monkey, don't follow me.

Get away.

Got him!

Easy. Easy.

Get the cage ready.

Careful. He's dangerous.

Hey, hey, not so rough.

Stand back, sir. I know he looks cute...

but this one's supposed

to have teeth like Ginsu knives.

Yeah, that's right.

This matches the description.

- Hey, he's getting away.

- All right, all right, I got him. I got him.

Guys. Guys, could you just take him?

- Careful. Watch his teeth.

- Please.

And don't hurt him.

Relax, little fellow. Back to Africa with you.

It's for the best, Ted. It's for the best.

And I'll wait here a while

Just long enough to be

All right, come on. Take it away.

Didn't make a wrong turn

And I'll wait long enough

For maybe an hour or two

Before I decide

It wasn't me, it was you

Peekaboo.

Aboo. Aboo.

Peek-a-boo. Peek-a-boo.

George. He loved peek-a-boo.

You think he saw us?

With everything ahead of us

We left everything behind

Everything we needed

and right at this time

And now the feeling that I'm feeling, well

- It's feeling like my life is finally mine

- Man, what a ride.

Hey! That's mine! Mom!

If I had a minute

For every hour that I wasted

I'd be rich in time

I'd be doing fine

- Without you I was broken

- Monkey. Monkey. Over here.

- But I'd rather be broke down

- Come, monkey. Come on.

- With you by my side

- Here, monkey.

He loved the primary colours.

Hey! No, no, no, no! That's fresh paint!

That's fresh paint, sir! No, no, no, no!

Come on.

Yeah. Quitting time.

George?

How'd you get out?

George?

So that's why traffic was so bad.

Oh, George.

Here, give me that!

Those were some good times.

We had some fun, didn't we?

Thank you.

Without you I was broken

But I'd rather be broke down

with you by my side

Sir, I'm only passing out flyers, not hugs.

Ted, I've been looking for you.

Is everything okay?

That's what I was thinking.

- Yeah, sure. Why?

- Why?

Well, you are hugging a man

dressed in a monkey costume.

Kind of tight, I might add.

And good luck with that, Phil.

Great to see you again.

Yeah, you, too.

Remember, the sale ends Thursday.

So after they took him away,

I've been wandering the streets...

and you saw me hugging a man

in a monkey outfit.

That pretty much catches you up.

I can't believe George is gone,

and it's all my fault.

Yes, it is.

What?

Ted, do you want me to tell you

what you want to hear...

or do you want to hear

what you should hear...

which I'll tell you, and not just

what you think you want to hear?

Run that by me one more time.

George is gone,

and I'm afraid it's your fault he's gone.

So the question is,

what are you going to do about it?

You're right. It is my fault.

Now, if you'll excuse me,

I have a date with a monkey.

You know

that I don't have a date with a monkey.

It was just my way of saying

that I'm going after George.

- Ted.

- Right. Bye.

Oh, no! I'm too late.

Or am I?

Luckily, movies have taught me

exactly what to do in this situation.

Kids, don't try this at home.

Here we go.

What am I doing? This isn't a movie.

It's real!

This is odd.

You guys are a little dressed up

for a cargo ship to Africa, don't you think?

Oops.

Excuse me.

I'm coming for you!

George!

George!

George.

George.

George!

Where are you?

George, are you here?

I think you're here.

George?

George!

There you are!

Stand back, buddy!

George, give me a hug, you little fur ball!

There. You're all right.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

I don't know how I let them take you away.

I mean, I do.

This was so important to me,

but somehow it just doesn't matter anymore.

What matters is you and me, buddy,

our buddyship.

Now we can do all the monkey things

we've always wanted to do.

I'll get an organ and grind,

and you can dance for money.

Or I can dance for money. Who knows?

We'll figure it out. We can take turns.

George, do you mind?

I'm expressing some feelings here.

It's kind of hard, okay?

Now, where was I?

Right, who's going to dance.

Oh, no, no. Adventure!

You brought adventure to my life.

And now, you know, that's all that matters.

Wait. Where's that coming from?

It's a pictogram.

George, it's the map!

We had it all along.

Of course.

"Turn your eye to the light.

Go from blindness to sight. "

I was supposed to hold the statue

up to the sun.

Pack your things, George.

We're off to Africa on the very next ship.

Wait a minute.

We're already on a ship to Africa.

Man, what a time saver.

Okay, Edu. I got it.

That's it! You did it, George! Give me five!

That's close enough.

Well done, Mr Ted.

- This way, men! Follow me.

- Right away.

The guy in yellow.

Let's go.

Here I am. Please, valet at your service.

- We've been waiting.

- Sorry.

The nearest parking lot is five blocks away.

I know. I own that parking lot.

That's where the real money is.

I know.

Behold the Eighth Wonder

of the World!

The Lost Shrine of Zagawa!

Okay, now that, I haven't seen.

But now I've seen it.

Way to go, Mr Ted!

As I stand

in front of the Lost Idol of Zagawa...

I just have one important thing to say.

Anyone can memorize facts and figures.

The real way to learn anything

is to go out and experience it...

and let your curiosity lead you.

Oh, George.

- Hi.

- Hey, it's George.

So who's ready to learn?
