Ruff!

Ruff!

Ruff!

Woof!

Got you!

I bet emily elizabeth
would love this.

[Pants]

I'’m going to go find her.

[Pants]

She'’s not here.

Not here, either.

Woof! Woof!

Hmm?

Mm?

I wonder where emily
elizabeth could be.

I'’d better go find her.

Hmm.

[Wind blowing]

Where is everybody?

[Boat whistle toots]

Huh?

The ferry.

Maybe everyone went down
to greet the ferry.

I'’m going to go see.

Victor:
be careful,
pedro.

Pedro: I am being
careful, victor.

The balloons,
you got them!

Hee hee hee!
Thanks.

You'’re welcome,
emily elizabeth.

Heh heh.

Clifford'’s going
to love them.

Oh, thank you both.

Clifford: woof! Woof!

Oh, no! It'’s clifford.

It'’s clifford!it'’s clifford!

Pedro and I will
hide the balloons.

[Stomps]

Clifford. Hi!

Woof!

Woof, woof, woof.

Heh! I'’m sorry,
clifford.

I don'’t have time
to play right now.

Woof?

Don'’t worry,
emily elizabeth.

Everything'’s
under control.

[Giggling]

Thank you, victor.
Thank you, pedro.

Anytime.

Anytime.

[Whimpering playfully]

I know you want
to play, but...

Ahh! Uh-oh!

Hmm?

Oh!

Uh, what I mean is...

I'’m sort of busy.

Mm?

Woof! Woof!

Woof! Woof!

[Panting happily]

Woof! Woof!

Woof! Woof!

Oh!
[Grunts]

Oh!

[Barking excitedly]

Okay, boy.

Calm down.

I know this is fun,

But I don'’t have time
to play right now.

[Whimper]

Sorry, clifford.

I have, uh...
Too much to do.

Woof!

[Calling]
we'’ll play later.

I promise.

Ahh!

[To herself]
I promise.

[Straining]

I can'’t wait
till clifford sees
this present, t-bone.

This is definitely
my best idea ever.

Hmm?

Yourbest idea?

Okay, okay.
Ourbest idea.

Just look at it,
t-bone.

Doesn'’t it just
make you want to drool?

[Gasps] yeah,
it sure does.

Ahh! Where did
that come from?

[Sniffing]

Clifford.

Uh-oh. We don'’t want
him to see this.

Unh! Unh!

Oh!

[Gasps]

Cleo, I don'’t
think you--

Shh!but, cleo!

You'’ll give
the surprise away.

[Muffled whimper]

Hey, guys.

There you are.

Oh. Uh, hiya,
clifford.

Hi, cleo.

What'’s wrong
with t-bone?

Oh, uh...

He had onions
for breakfast.

They give him
awful breath,
you know?

Oh.

[Muffled]
help!

This is my new toy.

You want to play?

Uh, well,
we'’d like to,

But, you know,
I got to take
t-bone home

So he can brush
his teeth and garble
with mouthwash.

So how about we just
meet you at the park
later, okay?

Okay. See you.
Bye.

Okay.

Well...good luck
with the gargling,
t-bone.

Maybe there'’s
someone to play with

At the dunes
this morning.

Yeah!

There he goes.

Hoo! That was
a close one.

Now all we got
to do is--

Hey! Where'’s the wagon?

Uh...

Huh?

Oh, no!

Why didn'’t
you tell me?

But--but i...

Well, come on.
Let'’s go get it.

[Sigh]

This is the best
birthday cake

You'’ve ever made,
dad.

It'’s for someone
pretty special.

After all,
there'’s only one--

[Ground rumbles]

Clifford: woof! Woof!

Woof! Woof!
Woof! Woof!

Clifford!
Clifford!

What shall we do?

Quick.
Hide behind
the bush.

That was
a close one,
huh, dad?

[Laughs]
yes, but i...

Think we'’re going
to need some
more frosting.

[Both laughing]

No one here
to play with.

What a boring day.

Nothing to do.

Cleo and t-bone
can'’t play till later.

Emily'’s busy.

No one else is around.

[Sigh]

Boring, boring, boring.

Hey.

[Laughing]

[Laughing]

Yes!
Perfect sh*t.

Let'’s try that again.

Whoo-hoo-hoo!
This is fun.

I guess playing alone
isn'’t so bad, after all.

Woof!

[Barking excitedly]

Emily elizabeth:
clifford!

Emily elizabeth.

Clifford?

Woof! Woof! Woof!

[Barking excitedly]

Where is she?

Where'’s emily elizabeth?

Emily elizabeth:
clifford!

There she is.

Clifford!

Surprise!

Oh!

[Laughing, shouting]

[Horns tooting]

Happy birthday,
clifford!

[Pants]

That'’s why none of us
could play with you
all day, clifford.

I hope you weren'’t
too lonely.

We were all
just working hard

To make sure
your surprise party

Was the best ever.

[Laughing, shouting]
happy birthday!

You were surprised,
weren'’t you?

Hee hee! I guess
that means yes.

Happy birthday,
clifford.

You'’re the best dog
in the whole world.

Emily elizabeth:
clifford!

[Pants]

It'’s story time.

You want to hear
a speckle story,
don'’t you?

Woof, woof.

[Giggles]
I thought so.

He'’s your favorite.

Today'’s story is "speckle
and the heat busters."

On the hottest day
anyone could remember,

Speckle and his friends
just couldn'’t stay cool,

Not even
in the wading pool.

Everyone wanted
to play and have fun,

But it was just too hot
to do their favorite things.

Then, speckle
thought of a way

They could play
and stay cool.

He brought over
some ice cubes

And plopped them
in the pool,

Then started a game
of "catch the cube."

Then, twirling
the garden hose,

Speckle made
a water jump rope.

Soon, the grass
was all wet
and slippery...

And speckle led the way

In a water slide
across the yard.

Giggling and joyful,

The friends all agreed--

Speckle'’s
new way of playing

Was totally cool.

The end.

That was a great story.

Isn'’t reading fun?

Woof!

[Giggling]

Emily elizabeth:
"the ears have it."

Girl: hi!

[Chuckling]

[Background chatter]

I love that.

Well, would you
look at this.

I hate to give someone
a parking ticket

On founder'’s day,
t-bone,

But this car shouldn'’t
be parked here.

Ruff!

Hi, sheriff lewis.

Happy founder'’s day.

Hello, emily elizabeth.

Say, you think clifford
could help me out

By moving this car?

I think he'’d be
happy to.

Woof!

Thank you
so much,
clifford.

Woof!

I was just
on my way
to the beach

To help set
things up

For the founder'’s day
fireworks tonight.

[Worried whimper]

I can'’t wait.

It should really
be something.

They'’re going
to have fireworks

Of all the most
important people

Ever to live
on birdwell island.

Ruff, ruff.

The founder'’s day
fireworks are always
terrific.

[Yelps]

[Shuddering,
whimpering]

Say, emily elizabeth,

I wonder
if you and clifford

Could do me
another little favor.

We'’ll try.

Would you two
mind if t-bone

Kind of hung around
with you today?

He gets a little jumpy
around fireworks.

He doesn'’t like
loud noises much.

[Clang clang]aah!

[Whimpering]

See what I mean?

I have to go help mom
at the store for a while,

But I'’m sure
clifford would love

To spend time
with t-bone.

Right, clifford?

Woof, woof.

[T-bone barks happily]

Come on, sweetie.
Come on out.

[Embarrassed whimper]

Oh! You are so adorable.

You'’re going to outshine
the founder'’s day
fireworks tonight.

Ruff! Ruff!

[Pants]
ruff! Ruff!

You run along
and play now,
sweetie.

Ruff! Ruff! Ruff!

Look, t.
It'’s cleo!

It is?

Hi, guys.

You look great!

Thanks.
I'’m going to outshine

The founder'’s day
fireworks tonight.

Fireworks?

[Whines]

Don'’t talk about
the fireworks, cleo.

T-bone'’s got
a big problem
with loud noises.

Really? How come
you never told us

You don'’t like
loud noises before?

I didn'’t want
you to think

I was a big scaredy
cat or something.

We'’d never think
that, t-bone.

I know.

It'’s just,
I wish

I wasn'’t scared
of loud noises.

I'’d love to watch
those fireworks.

Maybe with a little
help, you can.

You think so?

I don'’t know,
but we can try.

[Construction sounds]

I--i don'’t like
this very much.

It'’s so noisy.

I know. I don'’t
like it, either.

Well,
I don'’t, either,

So I'’m going to do
something about it.

What are you
going to do, cleo?

I'’m going
to make noise

Right back
at it,
like this.

[Howls]

Whoa!

When something
scares you,

You can try
to scare it
right back.

Go on, t-bone.
Try it.

[Little howl]

Come on.
Let it rip.

[Howls]

[Howls]

[Howls][howls]

[Howls][howls]

Come on, clifford.
Join in!

Okay.

[Howls]

Whoa!whoa!

[Howls]

How was that?

Wow! Do it again,
do it again!

[Howling]

[Howling]

[Upbeat music plays]

[Howls]
[howls]

[Howls]

[Howls]
[howls]

Woof!

Doesn'’t that feel
good, t-bone?

T-bone?

[Whines]

Well, that
didn'’t work.

We need a better plan.

What are you going
to do, clifford?

Maybe it will
be easier

If you get use to
loud noises slowly.

Just a little bit
at a time.

Okay. A little bit
at a time.

[Whimpers]

Boo.

[Whimpers]

That wasn'’t so bad.
What'’s next?

Ready, t-bone?

Ready.

[Inhales]

[Exhales]

[Quiet chimes]

That'’s not
so bad.

[Inhales]

[Exhales]

[Loud chiming]

[Whimpers]

[Shrieks]

[Clatter]

I don'’t think
I'’m going to like this.

You can
do it, t!

[Loud bangs]

Yikes!

Oh!

You'’re doing
great, t-bone.

Can we stop now?

Just one
last thing.

That'’s going
to make a big noise

When he drops it, huh?

Mm-hmm. A really
big noise.

[Shrieks]

W--w--well,
not really big.

Go ahead, clifford.
I'’m ready.

Drop it.

[Holds breath]

[Thud]

[Exhales]

Hooray for t-bone!woof!

Yeah! I did it!

[Horn blares]

[Whimpers]

Poor t-bone.

Yeah. Let'’s go find him.

Come on, t-bone.
Please come out.

Yeah, please?

T-bone: no.
I'’m never
coming out.

I'’m nothing but
a big scaredy cat.

You'’re not
a scaredy cat,
t-bone.

You just
don'’t like
loud noises.

Besides, it'’s like
I told you,

Everyone'’s afraid
of something,

Even if it doesn'’t make
sense to other people.

I'’m afraid of the dark.

Really?

Yep! I can'’t even
sleep at night

Without my
glow-in-the-dark
hedgehog toy.

What about you,
clifford?

I bet you'’re not
afraid of anything.

Spiders.

Spiders?
Spiders?

Uh-huh. I know
they'’re really friendly,

But for some reason,
they just scare me.

See, t? Everyone'’s
scared of something,

Even if it'’s not
for a good reason.

And if loud noises
scare you,

Then we'’ll just
forget about going

To the fireworks
tonight.

Thanks, guys.

Clifford and I
will stay right here
with you tonight, t.

We wouldn'’t think
of leaving you alone.

Aw, you don'’t
have to stay
with me.

Okay, great.
We'’ll see you
tomorrow.

Clifford: no!

Don'’t worry
about it, t-bone.

We want to stay
here with you.

Right, cleo?

Right.
We want to.
Really.

And we can all
watch the fireworks
together,

Right here
at your house.

[Explosions]

This is perfect,
clifford.

It sure is.
Perfect.

[Laughs]

T-bone thinks
it'’s perfect, too.

Huh?

Clifford and I know

That it'’s important
to try new things.

That'’s how you learn.

That'’s why clifford'’s
big idea for today

Is "believe in yourself."

Hiya, t-bone.
Want to play ball

With clifford
and me?

Sure. I get
better at this game
every time we play.

Okay, then.
Let'’s play.

Unh!

Can I try that again?

I know I can do it
this time.

Okay.
Here it comes!

I did it!

Ha ha!
I hit it!

I remember the first
time we played,

You couldn'’t hit
the ball at all.

I knew that if I just
kept working at it

And doing my best,

I'’d get better.

So, let'’s
keep playing.

Believing in yourself

Helps you
to try your best

And to keep on trying.

That'’s why clifford'’s
big idea for today

Is "believe in yourself."
