[Woof]

Hic!

Whoa!

What was that?

Hic!

Hic!whoa!

Hic!

What in blue blazes
is that?

Hic!

Oh!

Hic!

Goodness!
What is that?

Hic!
[Gasps]

Whoa.

What is that?

Hic!

Oh, no!

It'’s clifford!

Hic!

Hic!

Is clifford ok,
dr. Dihn?

He seems to be just fine.

Hic!

Whoa-ooh!

N-nothing serious.

Well, we'’re glad
to hear that.

It looks like clifford
just has a little case
of the hiccups.

Hic!

Whoa!
Whoa!

Nothing is little when
it comes to clifford.

Is there anything
we can do, doctor?

I'’m afraid not.

Sooner or later
the hiccups will just
go away on their own.

Hic!

Uh, what exactly do you
mean "sooner or later"?

They could last
a few minutes,

Or they could
last for days.

Hic!

[Whimpers]

Don'’t worry,
clifford.

No one'’s ever had
the hiccups forever.

They'’ll go away
soon.

That'’s right,
emily elizabeth.

Hic!

Hic!

Wow. Now,that'’s
a big hiccup.

Yeah. He'’s been doing that
all morning.

Sheriff lewis
says that a great way
to get rid of hiccups

Is to have someone
scare them out of you.

Hic!

Yikes!

Hey, clifford!
It'’s us!

Come on out,
clifford!

Hi, guys.

We heard about
your hiccups, big guy.

Hic!

Everyonehas heard
about them.

[Giggles]

It'’s so strange.
Hic!

I'’ve never had
the hiccups before.

Phew!

Aw, the hiccups
are nothin'’.

I get '’em all the time.

You do?

Well...

I had them once,

When I was a puppy.

At least, that'’s what
mrs. Diller said.

I don'’t really remember.

Emily elizabeth says they'’ll
go away on their own.

I just have to be patient.

Boo!

Oh, hi, t-bone.

Did I scare you, clifford?

Umm...not really.

Are you sure?
'’Cause sheriff lewis says

That sometimes you can
scarethe hiccups away.

Really?

Well, maybe I was
a little scared.

Wow.

Hey!

Hic!

I guess not.

But thanks
for trying, t-bone.

Forget scaring
the hiccups away.

I know how to
get rid of '’em.

You do?

Hic!

Sure.

Mrs. Diller says
that once you get

Your "energy flowing
the right way,"

You can cure anything.

Hmm.

What does
thatmean, cleo?

I dunno.

But she calls it
"fung shwaying,"

And I'’ve watched her
do it lots of times.

Does it hurt?

Hic!

Nope.

I just have to move
a few things around
in your doghouse.

Hic!

Ok, cleo. Let'’s try it.

Great!

You wait here.

I'’ll go get
everything
ready inside.

[Bang]

[Crash]

What is she
doing in there?

I don'’t know...

Hic!

Hic!

Buh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh.

...but I hope it works.

Ok, clifford.
Come on in.

Ta-daa!

[Gasps]

Wow!

Is this gonna
cure my hiccups?

Yup.

You see, by moving
everything around,

I'’m making all your
mystical hiccup energy

Move right past
all this stuff--

Hee hee hee--

And straight out
the front door.

Works every time.

Hic!

Well, it takes
a minute to work.

Hic!

Uhh...

I-it'’s gonna work
real soon.

Hic!

Hic!

Hic!

I don'’t think
this is gonna work.

[Humming]

Hic!

Hic!

Hic!

Thanks for
trying, cleo,

But emily elizabeth
says I won'’t have
the hiccups forever.

I just have to wait
until they go away.

Hic!

Aww. I wish we could
help, clifford.

Aww, me, too.

Well,iknow how to make
the hiccups go away...

If anyone'’s interested.

All: you do?

Heh heh heh.

Of course.

How, mac?

Just come with me,
clifford.

I'’ll take care
of everything.

Great!

Hic!

Hic!

Here we are,
clifford.

This'’ll do the trick.

Swimming is gonna
get rid of his hiccups?

Not swimming,
drinking.

Drinking?

That'’s right.

You just drink
big gulps of water.

Well, ok.

Hic!

Wait!

You have to
shut your eyes
while you drink.

Oh. Ok. Hic!

Wait!

You also have to
hold your left ear
with your right paw

And your right ear
with your left paw.

Wow. That sounds hard.

You'’re making this up,
mac.

No, I'’m not!

Are you sure?

I'’m positive.

Uh, guys?
Could we go on now?

Oh. Heh heh.

Sure, clifford.

Go ahead
and drink the water now.

Wait, wait!
He can'’t drink pool water.

Heh heh heh heh.
Why not?

It'’s for swimming
and splashing.

You'’re not supposed
to drink it.

Are you sure you know
what you'’re doing, mac?

Oh, of course I do.

Well, it doesn'’t
seem like it to me.

Boo!
Whoa!

I scared you that time,
didn'’t i, clifford?

Yeah, you did
kind of startle me.

Did I scare
the hiccups away?

Well...

Hey! I think you did!

Yes!

I did it!

Wait a minute.

You didn'’t scare
his hiccups away.

They went away because
he did all that stuff
thatitold him to do.

Cleo: nuh-uh!

I'’m the one who made
his hiccups stop.

What?!
What?!

It just took awhile for that
energy-moving stuff to work.

Ha ha ha.
Au contraire.

I am the one--

[All arguing at once]

Hic!

Excuse me.

Hic!

We'’re sorry none of us

Could get rid of
your hiccups, clifford.

That'’s ok.

You all tried your best.

We really
wanted to help.

You did help!

I mean, you didn'’t
make my hiccups go away,

But it sure made me feel good
that you tried so hard.

Emily elizabeth: clifford!

It'’s emily elizabeth!

[Woof woof]

[Woof woof woof
woof]

There you are, clifford!

How are your hiccups, boy?

Did they finally go away?

I don'’t hear anything.

Clifford!
Your hiccups are gone!

[Woof woof]

[All barking]

[Giggles]

I'’m so happy for you!

[Barking]

It looks like your friends
are really happy for you,
too, clifford.

It'’s nice having good friends
who care about you,
isn'’t it, boy?

[Woof]

Emily elizabeth: clifford!

It'’s story time!

You want to hear
a speckle story,

Don'’t you?
[Woof woof]

I thought so.
He'’s your favorite.

Today'’s story is"speckle
and the windy day."

It was a windy day,
perfect for flying kites.

Speckle, reba, and ravi

Flew their kites
in the windy sky.

Suddenly, speckle was pulled
right up off the ground!

Off he sailed,
over the treetops.

Then he soared
past some geese,

Who'’d never seen
a dog fly before!

Speckle was having
a very fun adventure.

At last,
speckle landed safely

In a soft, green meadow.

Now he wanted to stay
on the ground

And fly his kite
with his friends,

So reba picked up
some stones

And tied them around
speckle'’s waist.

That helped speckle
to stay on the ground
with his friends,

So they could all fly
their kites together.

The end.

That was a great story.

Isn'’t reading fun?

[Woof]

[Giggles]

Vaz: wow! This is great!

Things look kind of different

When you'’re looking
through a video camera.

Let me look, vaz.

Ok.

Ha ha ha!

Hey, clifford
looks pretty good
in the movies.

It was nice of your dad
to let you take his camera

To jetta'’s
movie-watching party, vaz.

Yeah! I thought maybe
after wewatchsome movies,

We could make one of our own.

Sounds like fun.

I brought my favorite
superhero movie to watch.

I brought "dog
of denmark."

Oh, I love that movie!

Let'’s watch that one first!

Let'’s hurry to jetta'’s
so we'’ll have time
to watch them all!

Welcome to my party,
everyone!

We'’ve got lots of seats,
popcorn and juice,

And a tv set to watch
our favorite videos on!

Great! Let'’s
get started!

I'’m going
to sit here.

I'’ll sit here.

Whoa!

I like the beanbag chair.

Is everyone happy?

Yup!

Let'’s watch a movie!

We want to watch
"dog of denmark"
first, jetta.

Is that ok?

We all love it.

Well, I sort of thought
since it'’smyparty,

Iwould be the first one
to pick a video.

Ok.

What do you
want to watch?

"The jetta
show!"

What'’s"the jetta show"?

That'’s what my mom calls
our home movies.

Home movies?

Wait'’ll you see
my first ferry ride.

Oh, look.
Aren'’t I adorable?

You look really
cute, jetta.

I think I'’m going
to like this tape.

Yeah. Me, too.

Vaz: hey!
Look at the dolphins!

Charley:
they are so cool!

Don'’t worry. There'’s only
a little bit of them,

Then we get back to me.

Don'’t you just love this?

Yeah. Love it.

It'’s great, jetta.

Just great.

Wow. Look at that.

That'’s the third
"jetta show"movie
they'’ve watched, mac.

Are there any
with you in them?

Of course.

There'’s one whole one
called"the mac show."

I'’ll show it to you
sometime if you want.

Sure. Sometime.

But right now,
how about if we play a game?

Ok. What do you
want to play?

I don'’t know.

How about tag?

Mmm. We play that a lot.

Let'’s do something else.

Ok. Like what?

[Ruff]

How about jump hose?

Jump hose?
I love jump hose!

You want to go first
or should i?

You turn for me first,

Then I'’ll turn for you.

Ok!

Ready?

Uh-huh.

Ok, clifford.
Here goes!

Yes!

Oh, that was such
an exciting spelling contest.

My mom made me a special
spelling-bee cake
and everything.

Oh, watch how big
my mom cuts the pieces!

Isn'’t that great?

See how daintily
I'’m eating it?

[Snoring]

Jetta: oh, my gosh!

It was such a big piece of cake
I could hardly finish it!

[Giggles]

[Whispers] what are you
laughing at, emily?

Jetta: here'’s me
taking my first ride
in my dad'’s new car.

What'’s going on?

[Laughing]

Jetta: ahem!

What'’s so funny?

We were just
looking at the dogs.

I'’m gonna record it.

You'’re supposed to be
watching my movie.

You missed
the last part!

You mean it'’s over?

Great! Now let'’s watch
"dog of denmark."

♪ Not yet ♪

We have to watch
all the parts
of"the jetta show."

How many parts are there?

!

[Both sigh]

This one'’s my favorite.

Wait a minute, jetta.

You said we were going to
watch lots of different
videos at this party.

It'’s true, jetta.

You told us each to
bring our favorite one.

I know, but I'’d
rather watch mine.

I don'’t really
want to watchanymovies.

I think we should
make a movie of our own.

Yeah!

Great!

This is a movie
watchingparty,

Not a movie
makingparty.

Come on, jetta.
It'’ll be fun.

How about we vote on it?

That'’d be fair.

Yeah!
Let'’s vote.

All those who want
to make a movie,

Raise your hand.

All those who want to stay in
and watch jetta'’s home movies,

Raise your hand.

It'’s to .
We go outside.

Great!

Emily elizabeth:
ok!

Whatever.

Come on, jetta.

No, thank you,
emily elizabeth.

You'’re not going to play?

No. I'’m going to
stay here and watch
my home movies alone.

Come on and try it.

If you don'’t like it,
we'’ll all come back in

And watch a movie
with you, ok?

No, thank you.

Well, ok.

But if you change your mind,
we'’ll be outside.

Don'’t worry.
I won'’t change my mind.

Here I am with
famous explorer
emily elizabeth howard.

What are you looking for
today, emily elizabeth?

Today we are on the trail
of the really hard-to-find
big red dogosaurus.

See his footprints?

Heisbig!

Come on.
Let'’s follow his trail.

Vaz: wow! This is great!

Whoa!

[Laughs]

Charley!

I remember that pie-eating
contest was so messy!

[Kids laughing
outside]

Hey, I wonder what
they'’re laughing at?

[Sighs]

Oh, well. Doesn'’t matter.

[Kids laugh]

So, famous explorer
emily elizabeth,

Do you think we'’re
getting close to finding
the big red dogosaurus?

Oh, yes.
We'’re very close.

[Growl]

Could that be him?

No., That'’s not
the big red dogosaurus.

[Grrrr]

Emily elizabeth:
that'’s the small
blue triceradog.

[Ruff ruff ruff]

Great!

Good job, mac!

[Kids laughing]

Why does it look like
they'’re having so much fun?

Why couldn'’t they
have fun like that
doing what I want to do?

I'’m gonna go ask them!

Emily elizabeth:
I think we'’re
getting close now.

I sure hope this
hard-to-find big red
dogosaurus is friendly.

Uh-oh.

Vaz: helooks
pretty friendly.

[Giggles]

Heisfriendly!

Vaz: butthat
doesn'’t look so friendly.

Hi, jetta.

Are you gonna come
and be in the movie now?

It'’s really,
really fun!

How come you guys
didn'’t like doing
whatiwanted to do?

Wedidlike it, jetta.

But then we wanted
to do something else.

And now we'’re making
a fun movie.

What makes this silly game
so much fun, anyway?

It'’s fun
because we all have
something to do in it.

Emily and I
are the actors...

And I'’m the director.

Even clifford and mac
have something to do
in this game.

It'’s just more fun
when everyone is
part of the game

Instead of just
one person telling
everyone what to do.

Was I doing that?

Sort of.

I'’m sorry. I just thought
everyone wouldlovedoing
what I told them to do.

So, do you want to be
in the movie, jetta?

You could be
an explorer with me.

Ok!

Only I don'’t want
to be an explorer.

I want to be
the beautiful
jungle princess

Who rescues
everyone from
the big red dogosaurus.

Sounds good to me!

That sounds cool!

Yeah, only someone
better tell clifford

He'’s supposed to be scary.

Oh, clifford!

[Laughing]

Come on, everyone!
Let'’s play!

Whoo-hoo! Yay!

Hooray!

Whoo hoo!
Yay!
Yay!

Clifford and I know
that it'’s nice

When friends
play together,

And nice when they
work together, too.

And that'’s why clifford'’s
big idea for today
is work together.

What a great day.

Cleo: yep. But it'’s time
to go home now,

So we better clean up.

It'’s gonna take forever
to clean this up.

No, it won'’t,
not if we all work
together to get it done.

That didn'’t
take long at all.

And it was
kind of fun, too!

It'’s always nice when
friends work together.

It gets the job done
in no time at all.

And that'’s why
clifford'’s big idea

For today is
work together.
