Curious George

[repeated line]

Man with Yellow Hat:
Be a good little monkey.

Ted:
[laughs after George soaks him after jumping into the lake] You call that a cannonball? I'll show you a CANNONBALL! [makes a big splash]

Ted, The Man with the Yellow Hat:
You don't give a monkey a latte!

Cab Driver:
Where you headed, Yellow?

Ted:
Bloomsberry Museum, and I'll give you an extra ten if you don't call me "yellow", Okay?

Cab Driver:
Sure thing, Sunshine.

Ted:
Okay, his name is... [sees George Washington statue] Washington! His name's Washington.

Kid 3:
That's a dumb name!

Ted:
Okay, then call him George! Are you happy?

Ted, The Man with the Yellow Hat:
His enormous idol looks like it came out of a cereal box!

Junior Bloomsberry:
Wow, that must be a huge box of cereal. OR…

Ted, The Man with the Yellow Hat:
It’s only three inches tall!

Ted, The Man with the Yellow Hat:
Who leaves eight open cans of paint lying around?

Clovis:
That's a lot of yellow for one man.

Ted, The Man with the Yellow Hat:
I thought you were color-blind.

Clovis:
I can see that!

Miss Plushbottom:
[singing] You are fired!

Painter #1:
She fired us in song.

Painter #2:
But it still hurt.

Mr. Bloomsberry:
I knew you wouldn't let me down.

Ted, The Man with the Yellow Hat:
I have to admit I came pretty close.

Mr. Bloomsberry:
Oh no, I'm so proud of you. You're like the son I never had.

Junior Bloomsberry:
Father, I'm you're son. Remember?

Mr. Bloomsberry:
Well, yes. But I had you.

Clovis:
[seeing the three-inch idol] Ted, I'm not one to judge but hasn't its size been exaggerated just a wee bit?

Ted, The Man with the Yellow Hat:
What am I doing? This isn't a movie, it's real!

Ivan:
[with a thick Russian accent] If I find pet, you are evicted.

Ted, The Man with the Yellow Hat:
E-what-ed?

Ivan:
[enunciating] E-vic-ted

Ted, The Man with the Yellow Hat:
It is the same hat! And the same monkey! You followed me all the way from Africa? To Play peekaboo?

Cab Driver:
There's no screaming in cabs!

Ted, The Man with the Yellow Hat:
Junior was right. There is a parking problem in the city!

Ted, The Man with the Yellow Hat:
George is gone. It's all my fault.

Miss Maggie Dunlop:
You're right.

Ted, The Man with the Yellow Hat:
Huh?

Miss Maggie Dunlop:
Ted, do you want to hear what you want to hear, or what you should hear?

Ted, The Man with the Yellow Hat:
Uh... Could you run that by me again?

Miss Maggie Dunlop:
Do you want to hear the truth which you should hear and I'll tell you, and not just what you think you want to hear? The truth is that George is gone and it is you're fault. Now the question is, what are you going to do about it?

Ted, The Man with the Yellow Hat:
You know, the word Zagawa means enlightenment?

Edu:
Of course I know. I live here!

Ted, The Man with the Yellow Hat:
Anyone can memorize facts and figures, the key is to just venture into the unknown let your curiosity take hold.

Ted, The Man with the Yellow Hat:
What's the difference between Neanderthal man and Cro-Magnon man? Linguistic competence and polychromatic cave paintings.

Ted, The Man with the Yellow Hat:
Can I have my hat please? I kinda need my hat. The sun is hot, and I freckle, and not the good way, either. I blotch.

Ted, The Man with the Yellow Hat:
And you! Hiring a monkey to paint your apartment. How can you sleep nights?

Seen It Cab Driver:
Oh, yeah. 40-foot monkey causing unintentional widespread panic? Seen it.

Junior Bloomsberry:
[after falling] Oh, my body. Hey, a dollar!

Ted, The Man with the Yellow Hat:
Hey! There are lines painted on the street for a reason! [loud honking] Oh, yeah?! Well, that is physically impossible for me to do! So there!

Dockworker #1:
Hey, it's a monkey with a hat!

Dockworker #2:
I'll just go ahead and put that under miscellaneous.

Junior Bloomsberry:
I'm sorry, the lost...? You lost me at the lost.

Ted, The Man with the Yellow Hat:
Shake that tree all you want. You won't find any bananas up there. But if you find a 40-foot idol, let me know.

Ted, The Man with the Yellow Hat:
The world doesn't need another parking lot. It needs a place where kid's minds can grow.

Junior Bloomsberry:
Exactly, so I was thinking they can grow by counting all the spaces on the parking lot. Come on, how fun is that?

Animal Control Receptionist:
Animal Control Hotline. How can we help you?

Ted, The Man with the Yellow Hat:
I need you to come to the Bloomsbury Institute right away. There's a very dangerous monkey.

Animal Control Receptionist:
Can you describe dangerous, sir?

Ted, The Man with the Yellow Hat:
Well, he's frothing at the mouth, has teeth like Ginzu knives, and-and crazy eyes. He's a killer! Listen to this [makes monkey noises] Hey, put down that child! Oh, the horror!

Ted, The Man with the Yellow Hat:
The real way to learn anything is to go out and experience it and let your curiousity lead you.

Ted, The Man with the Yellow Hat:
Aah, my knee! Ow, there's the forehead! Oh, knee-forehead combo!

Seen It Cab Driver:
Now THAT, I haven't seen. [pause] Okay, now I've seen it. [leaves]

Kids:
George, is.

Ted, The Man with the Yellow Hat:
Okay, his name is...

[Sees George Washington statue.]

Ted, The Man with the Yellow Hat:
Washington! His name's Washington.

Kid 3:
That's a dumb name!

Ted, The Man with the Yellow Hat:
Okay, then call him George! Are you happy?

Kids:
All right.

[cutting to a ship with night, Ted drives a car]

Ted:
[looking at a boat] No! Too late. Aha, movie going to quiet. Doesn't try to home.

[engine revving]

Ted:
Here you go.

[Ted breaking and crashing Pier 53, jumps out in the boat]

Ted:
What are you doing, this is a movie? It is real!

[splashing a car with Ted, squeaking, getting out of car]

Bloomsberry:
We'll be cutting through the heavy brush for 12 hours a day.

Ted, The Man with the Yellow Hat:
Please, just go! Do you understand?

[George chattering]

[The kids start talking at once]

Maggie:
Children...

Ted, The Man with the Yellow Hat:
Okay, you know what? [sees the George Washington statue] His name's Washington.

Kid:
Man, that's a dumb name!

Ted, The Man with the Yellow Hat:
Then call him George! How's that? Happy now?

Maggie:
Oh, I like George.

[Ted drives up to the docks]

Ted:
[the boat with George in it is already leaving] Oh, no! I'm too late. Or am I? Luckily, movies have taught me exactly what to do in this situation. Kids, don't try this at home. [starts driving full speed toward the pier where the boat left] Here we go! [breaks through the pier gate and goes flying onto the boat] What am I doing? This isn't a movie. IT'S REAL!!! [the car splashes into a pool on the boat]

Mr. Bloomsberry:
[to Junior] Nonsense. We promised the people something awe-inspiring, and we're giving it to them, thanks to Ted and George. [to Ted] I knew you wouldn't let me down.

Ted, The Man with the Yellow Hat:
Well, sir, I've got to tell you, I came pretty close.

Mr. Bloomsberry:
No, no, Ted, I am so proud of you. You're like the son I never had.

Junior:
Father, I'm your son, remember?

Mr. Bloomsberry:
Yes, but I had you. [to Ted] Ted, this is amazing.
