Curious George Page #7

Synopsis: The man with the yellow hat named Ted Shackleford works at a natural history museum that's fallen on hard times. The museum director's son wants to turn it into a parking lot, but Ted offers to bring back a mysterious idol from Africa that's guaranteed to pull in crowds. Unfortunately, the idol turns out to be three inches tall. But Ted accidentally brings back a lonely yet irrepressible monkey, soon dubbed George. They set off on a non-stop action, fun-filled journey through the wonders of the big city toward the warmth of true friendship.

Wow, it's beautiful.

- Remarkable.

- I've never seen anything like it.

It's gorgeous.

Come on. This way. Don't be shy.

Oh, this is so exhilarating.

You know, Timmy,

I have an original George in my penthouse.

Wow, that looks just like... Ivan!

Wait.

Ted! Ted! Over here.

There you are, 17-B.

Boy, you're light on your feet for a big man.

I must admit,

your monkey shows real talent.

Quite the artist.

So I am taking back kickinging you

from building.

- Oh, that's great, Ivan.

- No hard feelings.

Oh, Georgie, you're just so cute.

I think he likes me.

- Right over there.

- Thanks, Mr Bloomsberry.

- I parked all the cars, Father.

- Good job, Son.

Really? A good job.

Oh, Father. Oh, Father. Hug time.

- There, there, my boy.

- Hug your son.

- It's okay. It's okay.

- Tighter. Yes.

- Daddy's here.

- Hold me.

Good job, sweetheart.

Wow, George. You are so fast!

What is that?

I'm not one to brag,

but I call it The Magnificator.

That's so cool.

Say, have you seen Sparky?

I found a rib bone.

I found a femur.

I found... Sparky.

And I am happy to say that because of Ted...

Sir, George, don't forget George.

And George, of course.

We are not going anywhere.

The Bloomsberry Museum is here to stay.

All right, all right, last question.

Ted, where will you and George

go for your next adventure?

The Arctic? South America? Egypt?

You know, you don't need to go around

the world for a great adventure...

I have a lot of things to catch up on

right here.

- Really?

- Really.

Mister, George is...

I know, he's cute. Lovable.

Very cute. Very lovable.

Yeah, well, he's also in that rocket.

It's okay. There's no fuel in it.

Clovis, you didn't put fuel

in that rocket, did you?

Maybe.

- Oh, no.

- I see a rocket with empty fuel tanks...

what am I supposed to do?

George, wait!

- Bye.

- See you, Ted.

- Look at all the smoke.

- No hard feelings, huh?

Careful, Ted! Hurry back!

Okay, but once around the Earth

and then straight home.

Do you hear me? Okay?

I've got plans tonight.

Gosh.

No, no, no, George,

I'm not letting you drive.

Just sit back and...

No, George. Don't push that button.

I don't know what it does.

George, don't...

Hold on, George! Oh, boy!

That is a surge of adrenaline.

I'm going to sleep good tonight.
