Curious George Page #2

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.

Look out.

Here comes the Bloomsberry Express!

- Yes! Yes!

- Next stop archeological fame and fortune!

I'm going to discover

the Lost Shrine of Zagawa!

- A little help here.

- Hey, watch it!

I forgot something.

I am really, really old.

Can I have the Bloomsberry Express

pull into the reality station...

and sign here, initial here. Nope, not there.

Wait! I guess I could go.

Did I just say that? I can't do that.

I don't even ride the bus.

Maybe they didn't hear me.

I'm sorry, sir. You were saying?

Excellent idea, Ted.

He did hear me.

Him? You've got to be kidding me.

Ted is not an explorer.

- He raises a good point.

- Nonsense.

With my maps and my journals,

a six-year-old could find the shrine.

Thank you, I think.

Come on.

Let's get you ready for your big adventure.

Now, Ted, the journal won't take you

right to the idol.

- It won't?

- No, you have to use your instincts.

- About that, sir, I don't have any.

- Don't be silly. It'll be fun.

Sorry, Ted.

But that's as close

as you're ever going to get...

to the precious Lost Shrine

of Zaga-wah-wah-wah...

Why does my father like you best?

It's not fair. I've got the ponytail.

Okay, Ted, the trick is to look

like you know what you're doing.

Now, where's the door?

Yellow? Six dozen yellow suits?

Tony, what, are you goofy?

We can't sell these things.

Hey, me goofy? Forget about it.

The big guy says move them, we move them.

Oh, yeah, sure,

but what kind of meatball would buy these?

Excuse me?

I'm here to be professionally outfitted

for a jungle expedition.

Showtime.

Good day, mate.

You've stepped into the right place.

Isn't that right, Nigel?

I'll say it is, Steve-O.

Finally, a real adventurer to suit up.

- So do you like the colour yellow?

- Yellow?

Yeah, what, are you goofy?

Yellow's the new khaki.

- Mate.

- Really? Well, okay.

- You've got to be kidding.

- Look at that get-up.

Hello, who are you, the six-foot banana?

"The new khaki. "

Thank you! Thank you very much!

I look like an idiot.

- Edu.

- Yes, sir?

Don't worry the other men,

but we're hopelessly lost.

Sir, your book is upside down.

- Oh. Oh, good catch. Carry on.

- Thank you, sir.

- Wow. What is it?

- That's interesting.

- Look at this.

- Beautiful.

Look at the colour.

Edu, do you see this?

- Yes, it's...

- Exciting! We are so close.

- Edu.

- Mr Ted.

It says here "Zagawa" means enlightenment.

- I know, sir. I live here.

- Oh, right.

Did you know the statue we're looking for

is a giant monkey?

- Yes, sir. I live here.

- Right again.

- Oh, a rhino.

- Sir?

- Stand aside, men.

- Mr Ted.

This is a tranquilizer gun.

I'm just going to put him to sleep.

That's not a rhino. That's a...
