Emily elizabeth:
finders keepers.
Okay, let's get
the kickball
rules straight.
The tree is first base,
the fountain's second,
And the trash can's third.
No do-overs, automatics,
or time-outsies.
Uh, nina?
The bushes are
interference
And the pop-ups hitting
the telephone pole are foul
Unless they also
hit the birdhouse.
And...
Nina?
In the event of
rain, snow, hail..
Shun and emily elizabeth:
[laughing] nina!
Yes?both: roll the ball!
Okay, okay.
Both: whoa!
Oh, jorge,
I wish we could play.
There's no time for kid
stuff today, clifford.
We've got an important
dog lesson.
What's it going to be?
The roll-over?
No.
The fetch?
Uh-uh.
Uh, I know, I know.
The beg?
The beg?
No, clifford.
We're moving on to...
[Whispers] the top
secret stuff.
[Whispers] ooh.
What is it?
Bury--the--bone.
Bury the bone!
Bury the bone!
Shh! Clifford,
this is just for
us dogs!
Rabbits don't do it,
cats don't do it,
And birds definitely
don't do it.
Duck!
Oh, even ducks
don't...
No, duck! Duck!
Look out!
Huh?
The ball went in
there, somewhere.
Let's go!
Okay, buddy.
Now, first,
you pick a spot.
Good. Now,
walk in a circle...
To make sure
you're alone.
Now we dig.
[Both panting]
Hey, be neat
and save your dirt.
Right.
Be neat.
Be neat.
And now, the bone.
Wow. Nice bone.
Yeah, I had it
since I was a pup.
Now we place it
in the hole...
And put back the dirt.
Real fast.
Oh, quick.
Someone's coming.
Act natural.
Well, we lost
a kickball,
But we found
a basketball.
I wonder
who owns it.
No name on it.
What do
the rules say
about that?
Finders keepers,
losers weepers.
Let's use it.
I'll meet you there!shun: come on, let's go!
Greetings, my
canine comrades.
What have you two been up to?
[Yawns]
nothing much.
[Yawns] yeah,
nothing much.
Both: burying bones.
Oh, you guys!
That was top secret!
Hey, norville?
Nina just said
something funny.
Finders keepers, uh...
Losers weepers?
Uh-huh.
Finders keepers,
losers weepers.
What does that mean?
Oh, that is a very good
question, little red.
See, finders losers...
Oh, it's a very good
question indeed,
as a matter of fact.
Weepers...keepers...
You know, um,
You know,
the only way that
you ever learn anything
Is by asking
good questions.
Am I right?
Uh, right!
Now, let me be
a lesson to you all
And let me also
say good-bye!
I'm not sure, but
I don't think norville
knows what it means.
Oh, I'm sure
he doesn't know.
But I do.
Clifford,
finders keepers,
losers weepers
Means that if
you find something,
you can keep it.
And if you
lose it,
Then that's
just too bad.
We find stuff
all the time.
Old socks.
Used water bottles.
Half a hat.
Remember that?
Ooh, that was
a great find.
Half a hat. Cats.
And we get to keep
all of it.
Get it?
I guess so.
Boy, I'm sure
learning a lot today.
You know what jorge
taught me how to do?
[Clears throat]
What?
Ohh, nothing much.
Both: [laughing]
dogs.
Jorge,
one more hole?
Please?
Okay, last one.
Hey, let's race. Go!
[Both panting]
Clifford: hey, jorge.
What did you find?
[Growls] I don't know,
but it sure is cool.
I'd better bury it
for safekeeping.
Emily elizabeth: clifford?
Jorge, what's that?
Can I see it?
[Whimpering]
I don't believe it.
Shun's necklace.
He lost this months ago.
Shun? Shun!
What's up?
Jorge found
your necklace.
The one with
the shark's tooth.
Awesome!
That is so great!
I'll bring it
to you!
That's not fair.why?
I found the necklace,
so it's mine.
But it's shun's,
isn't it?
Finders keepers,
losers weepers.
I found it.
Shun lost it.
It's mine.
But, jorge,
don't you think--
Emily elizabeth:
clifford! Dinnertime!
Okay, let's brush up
on those rules.
The tree is first...
Emily elizabeth and shun:
roll the ball!
Okay, okay.
Do over.
It hit the dumpster!
[Breathless]
no do-overs.
You said so.
[Chirping]
Interference!
It hit the telephone pole.
No, it hit the birdhouse.
It's still good!
Yeah! Yes.
Home run!
Nina: no, no.
Out of bounds.
It hit
an air conditioner.
So? Uh...air conditioners
are fair
On tuesdays and thursdays.
Who made up
that rule?
I did.
Just now.
What do you think?
I like it.
[Growling]
Jorge, what are you doing
with shun's necklace?
Just taking back
what's mine.
Finders keepers...
[Panting]
Losers weepers.
Shun: oh, no.
I've done it again!
I've lost my necklace.
Don't panic.
It must be here
somewhere.
We'll find it.
Did you guys
look over here?
Nina and shun: no.
Can't find it.
Let's see.
Two tennis
balls,
And one
toy astronaut.
[Sighs] but no necklace
with a shark's tooth.
Oh, it's hopeless.
What am I going to tell
my grandfather?
Your grandfather?
Yeah, he's coming
next week.
He gave me
that necklace.
He was a fisherman, and one day
he found a shark's tooth
In the oar of his boat.
I guess the shark missed him
and got the oar.
Anyway, he believed that tooth
brought him luck.
And now I go
and lose it...twice!
Well, we still have
a week to find it.
Right. It might
still turn up.
[Sighs] thanks, guys.
Good night.
Good night, shun.
Good night, shun.
Jorge, maybe you should
Give the necklace
back to shun.
But it's mine, clifford.
You heard nina.
And even flo and zo.
Finders keepers.
I know...losers weepers.
It's no fun
losing something
you really like, is it?
No.
I wish we could
replace his necklace.
I don't see how.
Yeah. Well,
good night, nina.
Come on, clifford.
It's late.
[Sigh]
It's so quiet.
It can't be clifford
up there.
Aw, it's me.
I'm just thinking.
Daffodil, is it okay
to tell on a friend?
I mean, if that friend
has done something
really wrong?
Hmm...that's not
an easy one.
But you could try
to help your friend
Do the right thing
instead.
I tried that already.
Then try again.
Friends don't give up
on friends.
Remember how you
used to fall off
the bed onto me
During your nap?
And you'd put me
back in bed?
Yeah, I knew
you'd learn
How to sleep
without falling off
Sooner or later.
Whoa!
Uhh!
Thanks for not
giving up on me.
[Sighs]
you're welcome.
Okay,
before we begin,
I'd like to review
our new rule
Regarding air conditioners.
Shun and emily elizabeth:
roll the ball!
Okay, okay.
Evan: is that my basketball?
It is my ball.
Where on earth
did you find it?
I lost it weeks ago.
In the bushes.
We lost ours, and I guess
we found yours,
So...thanks for
letting us use it.
Thank you.
Hey, I've got a ball
That's perfect
for kickball.
I'll be right back.
That's funny.
I thought you said,
"Finders keepers,
losers weepers."
Well, it's great
when you're the finder,
And not so great
when you're the loser.
I don't think
I'm going to
say that anymore.
[Grunting]
look what I found!
Huh?
But, clifford,
that bone is mine.
Remember?
I buried it there.
But I found it,
so I get to keep it.
You know,
finders keepers...
No, no, no,
but it's mine.
You can't just say
finders keepers
And take what...
Isn't yours.
Clifford, I think...
I think there's something
I need to do.
Thank you for finding
my necklace, jorge.
You're one great dog.
And here's
your bone, jorge.
You know, I was never
really going to keep it.
Thanks, clifford.
And thanks for not
giving up on me.
No problem.
So, uh,
what should we do?
Well, we've got
a bone, buddy.
You want to bury it?
You bet!
All clear?
All clear!
[Grunting]
[growling]
[Woof]
Emily elizabeth: clifford!
Where are you, boy?
[Woof woof]
Want to read
a story, clifford?
[Woof]
Okay. Pick one out!
[Giggles]
thanks, clifford.
This looks like
a great story.
[Toy squeaks]
Today's story is
"speckle gets well."
One day, speckle wasn't
feeling very well,
So he had to stay in bed.
His friend reba came by
And wanted to jump rope
with him,
But speckle couldn't.
And he couldn't
play ball with darnell.
[Quack]
Or bounce on ravi's trampoline,
Or even play hopscotch
with luna.
All speckle could do
was lay in bed.
And since no one wanted to leave
speckle alone while they played,
They decided to take turns
reading him a story
And keeping him company
as he got better
And better and better.
And finally,
when speckle was well enough
To go outside and play,
He was very happy.
But he was even happier
that he could play
With the very friends who had
cared so much about him,
And helped make him feel better.
The end.
I love reading
stories together.
[Slurp]
You know, clifford,
for such a small dog,
You sure are
a big reader.
[Woof]
Emily elizabeth:
you're famous!
[Indistinct chatter]
Man: step right up.
Right this way, folks.
What's the best thing
about a street fair?
I say it's the food!
I say it's the games!
Let's find out!
Just knock over
the bottles?
I won't need 3 tries
to do that!
Uhh.
Ohh.
Must be the wind.
Uhh!
Ahh.
Sun was in my eyes.
Uhh!
Yes!
Yes!
Yes!
[Click]
Nina? Nina!
Did you see this?
Your picture's
in the paper!
What? No way!
They're calling
you and jorge
"The hot dog duo."
Oh, jorge,
we look so silly!
No, it's great!
You're famous!
She's right!
Everybody in town
Is going to know
who you are.
Correction!
Everybody in the country
Is going to know
who you are.
All the newspapers
ran that photo.
You're more than famous.
You're a star!
No, I'd say
a superstar.
May I have
your autograph?
Oh, stop.
It's just
a picture.
But mr. Solomon?
Can I have
one of those
newspapers
To show
my parents?
I got them all for you!
Wow! Thanks!
The hot dog duo.
Oh, boy.
Hurry, jorge.
We're late for the game
And we've got
the only ball.
Mommy, it's them!
The hot dog duo!
Can I have
your autograph?
Oh, [giggles]
you don't really
want my...
Please?
I just love
That picture
of you two.
Really?
Well, sure. Okay.
Him, too!
Him, too!
[Woof]
Thank you!
Thank you!
[Giggles] that was
kind of fun.
Okay, let's go.
Hey!
Hold it, you two!
Hey, what do you know?
The hot dog duo.
Look, I put your picture
on my cart.
Here's a free dog
for you and rover.
His name's jorge.
Sure, and I'm hank.
Attention everybody!
Hank's franks is proud to be
The official hot dog
of the hot dog duo.
And, look, here they are!
What's that?
A dozen dogs?
Great!
What movies
have you acted in?
We've never acted
in a movie,
But there is a birthday
video of me,
And I do sing a song in it.
Boy: what about the dog?
Jorge?
No, he doesn't sing.
[Howls off-key]
Okay, he sings a little.
Oh, we'd better go.
Sorry, everyone.
[Crowd groans]
Oh, but don't worry!
We'll be back!
[Crowd cheers]
What's keeping her?
No nina, no ball.
No ball, no game.
I hope she's all right.
She's never late.
Late. Late.
Late.
Man: well, here's
a real treat, folks!
It's the hot dog duo!
Uh, could you hold the hot dog
The way you did in the picture?
[Cheering,
camera shutters clicking]
Oh, perfect!
You two are great!
Hey, guys!
You wouldn't
believe it.
It was exciting
and strange
and--and wonderful
All at
the same time.
You're an hour late!
I'm sorry.
Everyone who saw us
Wanted a picture
of the hot dog duo.
We were worried about you.
But I couldn't
say no to my fans.
[Woof woof]
Our fans.
Can we
play tomorrow?
Oh, okay, but this time
I'm bringing the ball.
You know, the public
can be so demanding.
[Giggling]
oh, nina.
Well, they can.
Ready
when you are.
I was ready yesterday.
Time out!
Someone wants
a photo with
the hot dog duo.
[Clicking]
Now, where was i?
Oh, yes.
When they take
your picture,
Always look
right into the camera.
That way your snout
won't look so big.
If you ask me,
it's his head
That's getting
a little big.
And also...
Oh, clifford?
A squeaky toy,
please.
Yeah, sure thing, jorge.
Mmm. No, the squeaky
hot dog instead.
Uh, why is clifford
fetching your toys?
Because clifford
is my assistant.
Everyone who's famous
has an assistant,
And clifford is mine.
So, how am I doing?great!
Great.
Can we finally
start playing?
[Car horn honks]time out!
What now?!
The 12:15 tour bus.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen,
That is the famous girl
and the famous dog
From the famous "hot dog duo."
[Cheering,
camera shutters clicking]
Okay, ready
when you are.
Home run.
Circle the bases.
I'm not running
in that dusty field.
I'll mess up
my famous outfit.
How will people
recognize me?
Well, if you don't
circle the bases,
The home run
doesn't count.
[Sighs]
fine. Jorge!
Please run
the bases for me.
Clifford, would you
mind running around
the bases for me?
No problem.
What is going on?
[Panting]
Boy, I sure could use
a drink of water.
Ah,
that sounds good.
Bring me a bowl
while you're at it,
there, clifford?
That's it!
Jorge, clifford
isn't your servant.
He's your friend.
He's not going to fetch
one more thing for you.
I am a little
tired, jorge.
But who'll get
my squeak toys
Or bring me
my water?
Um, how about you?
Uh, after all,
You did all that stuff
for yourself before.
Right, jorge?
You know, there's
a lot you two
Need to learn
about being famous.
I think you're both
just jealous.
I really do.
Now, if you
don't mind,
I have some
autographs to sign.
Erghhhh!
Wow, jorge,
it's been two weeks
Since we've become famous.
Every day wearing
the same outfit.
Every day eating
a hot dog.
Hi, hank!
Oh, hi, nancy!
Uh, it's--it's nina.
Where's our picture?
Oh, the rain
washed it off last week.
Hey, how's it going
there, rover?
[Howls]
Uh, that's jorge.
Bye, hank.
So long there,
nellie.
There's nina.
Maybe she wants to play.
No, she won't want to.
She may mess up her
"famous" outfit.
She's got more important
things to do.
Maybe you're right.
Jorge, here comes
the tour bus.
Let's give them
what they came for.
Hey! Don't you
want to meet
The--the hot dog duo?
[Woof]
[All shouting]
Emily elizabeth:
it was out of bounds!
It was out of bounds...
Boy: I'll get it.
I'll get it!
Looks like fun.
Emily elizabeth:
hi, nina.
Hi, guys.
How was kickball?
It was okay.
You know, I would've played,
if you'd asked me.
We just figured
you'd be too busy.
Besides, we didn't think
You'd want to get
your outfit dusty
In case someone wanted
to take your picture.
I don't think
people want
my picture anymore.
Oh. I'm sorry, nina.
Well, I'm not.
Being famous
made me act weird.
I mean, since when
do I care
If my outfit
gets dusty?
And I wasn't being
a very good friend.
I'm sorry.
Can we go back to
the way things were
Before I became
a "star"?
No. Sorry.
Because you'll always
be our star, nina.
Well, that's famous
enough for me!
Great!
Let's get some lunch!
How about hot dogs?
Oh, no.
[All laugh]
[Yelp]
Jorge, what
are you doing?
Well, I've been
doing some thinking,
And I know
I was terrible
to both of you.
So, to make it up
to you guys,
I've decided
to become your
personal assistants!
How do you like this
stuff, clifford?
Uh, it's okay, but
I don't really want it.
Well, uh, what can I
get you instead?
Just let me know.
You, jorge.
All I want is
regular old you.
[Giggles]
same goes for me.
[Jorge and clifford barking]
[Woof]
Okay, norville,
we're ready!
Then, on your mark,
get set, go!
[All cheering]
Emily elizabeth, voice-over:
clifford and I know that
Playing games with your friends
is lots of fun!
But when someone
doesn't play fair,
It really isn't fun for anyone.
Hoo-hoo!
I won! Hey!
Hey, that
wasn't fair!
You didn't
follow the rules!
Oh, I just wanted
to be first.
But you're right.
I didn't follow the rules
So I didn't really win.
And I ruined the game
for everyone.
I'm sorry.
At least you realized
your mistake
And you apologized.
And we can always
play the game again.
And this time I promise
to play fair and square.
Emily elizabeth, voice-over:
when you play fair,
Everyone gets to enjoy the game.
That's why clifford's
idea to grow on for today
Is "play fair."
