02x12 - Clothes Don't Make the Dog/Short-Changed

[bunniefuu]

Hi! My name
is emily elizabeth,

And this is clifford,
my big red dog.

* Clifford needed emily *

* So she chose him
for her own *

* And her love made clifford
grow so big *

* That the howards
had to leave their home *

* Clifford's the best friend
anyone could know *

* He's the greatest dog ever *

* I really think so *

* Clifford's so loyal *
clifford!

* He's there when you call *

* I love clifford
the big red dog *

* So they packed up
the family car *

* And the howards
left the city *

* They moved to birdwell island
and found many new friends *

* There to greet
clifford and emily *

* Clifford's so much fun,
he's a friend to us all *

* I love clifford
the big red dog *

[Laughter]

Woof!

[Grunts]

Come on, get on there.

There.

Ahh, why, that sweater
looks as good on you

As my sweater
looks on me.

Sure was nice
of my aunt sue

To send these to us,
wasn't it, buddy?

Come on, t-bone. It's time
for us two good-looking guys

To go out
and greet the world.

Ruff!

[Whistling]

Ruff ruff ruff.

Good morning,
sheriff lewis.

Well,
hello, jetta.

Oh, t-bone, you're just
so absolutely adorable

In that little
purple sweater.

[Whimpers]

Huh? What?

He does look pretty
sharp, doesn't he?

Oh, he's the
cutest little thing
I've ever seen.

Yes, he is.

Ach, is she kidding?
He looks ridiculous.

I'll bet I have
a yummy tummy yummy

For such a cute
little doggie.

Ach, what?

Thank you, jetta.

Ruff!

Oh, you're
welcome.

Heh heh. Have
a good day,
sheriff lewis.

You, too.

[Continues
whistling]

Cute? Humph.

[Whimpers]
oof.

Hi, mac. Have you
seen clifford?

I was supposed to
meet him at the beach,

But I can't
find him.

He's pretty hard to miss.

[Panting]

Oh, would you
look at that?

Isn't that
the cutest thing?

Let's give him a bite
of our leftover fish.

Huh?

There you go,
you little cutie.

Ruff!

Hmm...

Woman: oh, doesn't
he just look adorable
in that little sweater?

How embarrassing,
t-bone.

Huh?

Don't you know what
that means when humans
call you "adorable"?

Doesn't it mean
they like me?

If you were a person,
it would mean they like you.

But when they say
that about a dog,

It means you look...
Really silly.

Really?

Oh, of course.

Uh, you know, clifford
and cleo are going
to get a good laugh

When they see you
in that silly sweater.

They will?

Heh. I know I did
when I saw you this morning.

They won't laugh at me.
They're my friends.

They're still
going to laugh. See?

Wow.

I do look silly.

What am I going
to do, mac?

You could take it off.

I don't know.
Sheriff lewis
gave it to me.

You can put it back on
before you go home.

He'll never know.

I don't know.

I hold on to it for you
and make sure nothing
happens to it.

Really?
Thanks, mac.

Here, let me help you
take it off.

[Struggles and grunts]

Whoa. Oof.

Huh. Ohh...

Gee, mac, it doesn't
look bad on you.

Oh, trust me, t-bone,

This sweater doesn't
look good on anyone.

Now, help me
get this thing off.

Ruff! Ruff!

Unh!

Unh!

Ooh!

Unh!

Ah!

[Gasp]

What you guys
looking at?

Clifford hit our volleyball.

Oh.

[Incoming a*tillery whistle]

Here it comes!
I got it!

I--i got it!

Oh!

Ah!

Well...

I almost had it.

Good game, cleo.

Now what do you
want to play?

[Whistling tune]

Uh-oh! Sheriff lewis
is going to feel really bad

If he sees me
without my sweater.

I--i know. Uh...

Let's play hide-and-go-seek.

There's no good place
to hide at the beach.

[Whistling]
uh, sure there is.

Watch.

[Whistling]

Good morning.

Ruff! Ruff!

[Whistling]

Woof!

T-bone, sheriff lewis
just went by.

He did?

Yeah. Didn't you
hear him?

Well...yeah.

So why didn't you
come out?

Uh...well,
I was showing you guys

A good hiding place
at the beach.

See how good it was?

Sheriff lewis never
even knew I was here.

Uh, okay. Whatever.

So, okay, then.

Let's play
hide-and-go-seek.

Naw, let's go play
something in cleo's yard.

Hey, guys, want to see
some of my new funny faces?

Watch this.

Ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha!

That's great,
clifford.

I can do one, too!

Wait.

That's, uh...

Pretty good, t-bone.

Okay, my turn!

I'm going to do
a scary face.

Watch!

[Whistling a tune]

Oh, no!

[Whistling]

Cleo: okay.
Now, don't be scared.

Grrr! Grrr! Arrr!

Arrr!

[Whistling]

Whoa! I didn't know
I looked that scary.

[Whistling]

Gee, cleo,
it seems like every time
sheriff lewis goes by,

T-bone hides.

Yeah. You're right.

T-bone, are you hiding
from sheriff lewis?

Sheriff lewis?
Is he here?

Uh, where?

I don't see him.

Um, too bad.

Heh. I guess
I missed him.

T-bone,
what's going on?

Why are you hiding
from sheriff lewis?

Because I don't
want him to see me

Without
my purple sweater.

Sweater?

What sweater?

Sheriff lewis gave me
this purple sweater,

But...i took it off,

And I know his feelings
are going to be hurt

If he sees me
without it.

Why did you take it off
in the first place?

Because mac told me
I looked cute
and silly in it

And that you guys
would laugh at me.

Mac told you that?

And you believed him?

Eeh-eh.

Cleo and I
are your friends, t.

We'd never laugh at you.

I knew that.

It's just that mac
sounded so sure.

T-bone, we don't care
what you wear.

We like you.

So I can go get
my purple sweater

And put it
back on now?

Hee hee. Sure.

Good!

Because I really like it!

Look.
Here it comes now.

Mac! You're wearing
my sweater.

No, t-bone.
This is
my sweater.

Ahh. Jetta thought
you looked

So cute
in your sweater,

That she
bought me one
just like it.

This one
is yours.

I think it looks
really nice on you, mac.

Me, too.

Hey. Look at us!

We're twins.

Oh, boy.

Come on, guys. Let's go over
to the library and play tag.

You going to let me
play with you,

While I'm
wearing this?

It's not the sweater
we want to play with.
It's the dog inside.

Really?
Well, okay, then.
Let's play.

Come on, t-bone.
Let's lead
the way.

Emily: clifford!

It's story time.
You want to hear
a speckle story, don't you?

I thought so.
He's your favorite.

Emily:
today's story is...

Speckle
and the puddle jumpers.

One day speckle
and his friends
were playing hopscotch.

Speckle was about
to begin his turn

When suddenly
a raindrop fell.

Then the sky
grew darker,

And big, round
raindrops splashed
onto the ground

Making everything wet.

Everyone quickly ran
for cover.

When the storm stopped
and the sun came out,

They saw the rain
had washed their
hopscotch marks away.

The sidewalk
was so wet,

Luna's chalk
couldn't draw a new one.

It looked like hopscotch
was over for the day.

But then, speckle
figured that instead
of hopping in squares,

They could hop
in the puddles.

So they splashed and played
in a wet kind of way,

And everyone loved
the new game they'd invented.

The end.

That was a great story.
Isn't reading fun?

Woof.

Emily:
a little higher,
charley.

We missed a spot.

I can't reach it.

Nobody can reach
that high.

Man: maybe I can help.

Huh?
Wow!

Jetta: you're
skyscraper jackson!

Skyscraper's an old
friend of mine.

He's staying with us
this weekend.

He's the greatest
basketball player
in the world.

I'll bet he's tall enough
to reach that spot
on clifford's back.

I'll give it
my best sh*t.

Ahh.

Looks like
he hit
the spot.

[Laughing]

Man: emily elizabeth!

Your furball's fur's
all over my yard.

Sorry, mr. Bleakman.
We were just brushing him.

Well, someone's
going to have to
clean...

[Gasps]
skyscraper
jackson!

It's my fault, sir.
I'll rake it up.

You brushed
this dog fur?

This dog fur
comes from you?

This dog fur
was brushed by

Skyscraper
jackson.

I, uh, think
mr. Bleakman
is a fan

Of yours,
skyscraper.

Ha ha.
I guess so.

That is so cool
that skyscraper
jackson

Is staying with you,
emily elizabeth.

Ha ha.
Well, you make
a fantastic

Grilled cheese
sandwich, mark.

Ha ha ha.
Thanks, buddy.

It's a talent.

Yeah.
He's really nice.

Ahh, it must be nice
for clifford to have

A human more his size
for a change.

What do you mean,
jetta?

Well, skyscraper
can scratch his belly.

And he can run fast,
so clifford doesn't
have to wait for him.

And his long arms
can throw a stick so far

That clifford
really has to chase it.

It must be so much fun
for clifford.

Yeah.

He's never been
with anyone
so tall before.

Come on, emily.
Let's go skate.

Clifford
sure seems happy
playing with skyscraper.

Good dog, clifford.
That's right.

Ohh, yes.
Such a good boy.

All right.
Go get it.

Woof. Woof.
Come on.
Let's go.

Atta boy,
clifford.

I wonder how
basketball players
get so tall?

Mmm, I think they're
just born that way.

Some people grow tall.
Some don't.

Well,
that's one way.

Are there
other ways, jetta?

Of course.
Some of them
wear things

In their shoes
to make them
taller.

Really?

Uh-huh.
And some of them
hang from bars

Like those kids
are doing

All day long
to stretch
themselves.

Hmm? That doesn't
sound like it would make
you taller, jetta.

No. It just makes
your arms hurt.

Maybe--but there
are other ways.

Can you help me
get tall, jetta?

Of course.
I know just
what to do.

Ta-da!

These'll make you
really tall,
emily elizabeth.

Why do you want
to be tall anyway?

Clifford's
a big dog, charley.

He needs
someone tall.

Seems like
he's happy with you
just the way you are.

Come on,
emily elizabeth,
try them.

Okay, up you go!

Ohh! Aah!
Aah! Whew.

Now...you're tall.

Wow! I'm going to
go show clifford.

Skyscraper: okay, clifford.
Get the ball, boy.

Woof. Woof.

Okay, buddy.
Here comes another one.

Woof.

Emily:
good job, boy!

Hmm?

Hiya, clifford.

Woof.

Look at you.
You're as tall as I am.

Yes, she is.
Thanks to me.

Woof. Woof. Woof.

Careful, clifford!

Stop!

Whoa!

Whoa!

Whew! Good boy,
clifford.

Woof!
Ooh! Aah!

Yikes!
Whoa!

Careful!

I'll get her.

Charley: look out!

Jetta: get her!

Who-o-oa!

Ooh!

Who--o--oa!

Thanks, clifford.

Woof. Woof.

Maybe I'll go over
and say hi
to skyscraper.

[Gasps]
oh, no!

My yard!

You okay,
emily elizabeth?

Yeah. But I'm not
very tall anymore.

What's
going on here?

I'll clean it
right up.

No-o-o! Never!
Nobody touch it!

Ha ha ha ha.

I have a yard full
of skyscraper jackson
crushed flowers.

Ha ha ha.

Mr. Bleakman must
really like you,
skyscraper.

He doesn't let
anyone touch
his flowers.

Woof.
Clifford really
likes you, too.

And I like clifford.

I think
clifford likes
skyscraper

Even more
than before,
charley.

Clifford likes
a lot of people,
emily elizabeth,

But he loves you
most of all.

Okay, emily elizabeth.
Time to get tall.

What is it?
What's in the box?

I hope this works.

I never realized
before how nice
it is to have

A dog around,
clifford.

Well, look at that.

It's emily elizabeth.

Hi, guys.

Woof. Woof.

Isn't this great?
Now I can brush your back

And scratch your head and---

Ooh! Ohh!

Aah!
Woof. Woof.

Who-o-oa!
Somebody stop me!

Untie some of
the balloons,
emily elizabeth.

Woof. Woof.

I don't like
being tall this way.

I don't like it
at all. Whoa!

Woof. Woof.

Skyscraper: he's got you.

Are you okay?

Yeah. I'm okay.

Wow! Clifford
was a real hero.

I'd sure love to have
a dog like him.

Then...i think
you should take him.

Take him?

Uh-huh. I really
love clifford,

And I want him
to be happy.

He should be with
someone closer
to his size...

Someone like you.

But, emily elizabeth, i--

Mark:
skyscraper.

Your delivery's
here.

Oh, boy! He's here.

Mr. Kibble
just brought
him over.

What is it?

Arf. Arf.

Emily elizabeth,
meet rufus,
my new dog.

Your new dog?

I saw how happy
you and clifford
are together,

So I got myself
a dog, too.

Rufus and I
were made for
each other.

Just like you
and clifford.

Hello, everyone.

Hi, guys.

Did the balloons work,
emily elizabeth?

No, but it's okay.

I know I'm never
going to be as tall
as skyscraper.

Hey, jetta.
Want to see
my new dog?

Oh, emily elizabeth,
how brave of you.

You gave clifford
to skyscraper.

You did?

Uh--

I know this must be
hard for you,

But now clifford will have
someone his own size
to take care of him.

Here he is,
jetta.
My new dog.

But that's not clifford.

No. This is
rufus.

What a great-looking dog.

But...
But he's so small.

What's size
got to do with
loving someone?

Well--nothing, I guess.

Ha ha. I guess love
comes in all shapes, jetta.

And all sizes.

Come on, everyone.
Let's play.

Cleo: whoo!
Yeah! Hooray!

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'd better clean up.

It's going to 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.
