I'll read these books to you
when we get home, okay,
Corduroy?
CORDUROY, THINKING: Okay.
I can carry it.
You sure now?
Uh-huh.
[Beeping]
[Buzzing]
Hold on tight to those
library books, Lisa.
Remember, your--
Responsible for taking care
of them.
Got it, Mom.
[Siren wailing]
[Drilling]
Hey, look.
]] Oh, those must be dinosaurs.
I've always wanted to see
a dinosaur.
No, Corduroy.
They're cranes.
They lift heavy things.
]] Am I heavy?
You're as light as a feather.
I can't even tell if you're in
my knapsack or not.
[Beeping]
There's a subway station
this way.
♪
[Laughing]
[Clapping]
♪
]] This isn't the bus.
It's the subway.
The subway's an underground
train, with tunnels
and everything.
It goes very fast, much faster
than the bus.
Stay close.
Don't wander off.
Okay.
Stay close.
]] Okay.
Here's your subway token.
See, Corduroy?
I just put the token in the
slot, abracadabra, we're in.
]] Abracadabra!
♪
See that yellow light?
That's the subway car where the
conductor sits.
]] You know a lot about
the subway.
It's easy once you get used
to it.
♪
Have you got Corduroy
strapped in tight there?
Uh-huh, Mom.
Lisa, he looks like he's
about to fall out of
your knapsack.
]] I don't want to fall out.
There's nothing to
worry about.
I've got it all under control.
MAN ON P.A.: Please stand
back.
The doors are now closing.
Next stop, Central.
Next stop, Central.
[Wheels screeching]
CORDUROY, THINKING: Lisa,
I'm getting bumped.
Lisa?
Lisa?
This is our stop.
Here we are, Corduroy.
[Steel drums tapping]
Listen to that!
Excuse me!
Excuse me, please.
]] Lisa!
Lisa, wait for me.
Mom, I'm going to give those
musicians some money.
They're really good.
They are good, aren't they?
I know I've got some change--
[Gasping]
Corduroy!
What is it?
Corduroy's gone!
Mom, over there!
MAN ON P.A.: The doors
are closing.
The doors are now closing.
Oh, Lisa!
It's all my fault.
I should have been taking better
care of Corduroy.
CORDUROY, THINKING: I must
be lost.
Oh no, I must be going into a
very deep tunnel.
I'll be lost forever.
Lisa?
Lisa, I don't want to be
lost forever.
Yay, we can leave this tunnel
and go...
[Gasping]
You're not Lisa.
If I'm lost, what should I do
to get found?
If Lisa was here, she'd know
what to do.
Mom, we should get on the
next train and go
after Corduroy.
Lisa, see this blue line?
This is the route our subway
train takes.
It goes in two
different directions.
We don't know where Corduroy's
train is going to end up.
But we've got to
do something.
Don't worry.
I'll do everything I can to help
you find Corduroy.
But first, we've got to come up
with a clear plan.
They have a lost and found.
Great.
It's at the Main Street
subway station.
We'd better get a move on.
They close in half an hour.
Everything will be all right.
Don't worry.
Corduroy's special, Mom.
I know.
Remember how I bought him
with my very own saved-up money?
I sure do.
Mom, what if somebody finds
Corduroy and decides to
keep him?
Hey, where'd you come from?
Oops.
Sorry.
Hmm, looks like your bear
could use a little bit of
a cleanup.
Sweetie, that isn't your toy.
Put him back where you
found him.
Some poor child is probably
looking for him.
But Mom, Mom, can't we keep
him, please?
No, he's not ours to keep,
honey.
Anyway, you've got plenty of
toys already.
The train's stopping.
Oh dear, 20 minutes to 6:00.
The lost and found will be
closing soon.
]] That must be the
subway conductor.
How can I get him to see me?
Hmm.
[Barking]
Shh!
Shh!
What's the matter?
]] Nice doggie.
Could you help me, please?
I think I'm lost.
[Barking]
What have you got there?
Ooh, hello.
Excuse me.
Is this yours?
No.
Someone must have left
him behind.
Oh, what a shame.
I'm heading to the Main
subway station.
I'll drop him off at the lost
and found.
This way, Mom!
Here, I'll take care of your
library books.
You hurry on ahead.
The lost and found will be
closing soon.
Please be there!
Please be there!
What if Corduroy's not there?
What if Corduroy's been found by
a responsible girl with a
bigger, nicer knapsack?
Five more minutes before
they close!
Hello.
Can I help you?
My toy bear Corduroy, I left
him behind in the subway car.
Corduroy's my responsibility.
I should have been keeping an
eye on him.
But I was too--
We're looking for a brown
bear dressed in green
corduroy overalls.
I'll have a look.
I'm sorry.
I don't see a bear with
corduroy overalls.
Maybe you'd like to come
back tomorrow.
Would it be all right if Lisa
and I had a look?
Of course.
MAN: I found this little
fellow on my shift.
WOMAN: Oh, what a sweet
little bear.
I think I know who he
belongs to.
Corduroy!
You found Corduroy!
Thank you!
Thank you for finding him.
Yes, thank you.
You take good care of
him now.
Yes, promise.
He just needs to be cleaned
up a bit and he'll be as good
as new.
Now let's go home.
Corduroy, I'm so very,
very sorry.
It was your first time on
the subway.
And I should have been watching
over you.
I promise I'll never, ever lose
you again.
]] It was scary being lost,
Lisa.
But I'm glad I found you.
Me too.
♪
[Laughing]
This sunflower is as big as
you, Corduroy.
Hmm.
I'm bigger.
[Laughing]
When we plant the sunflower,
it's going to grow and grow and
get taller and taller.
And pretty soon, the sunflower's
going to be like the beanstalk
in Jack and the Beanstalk.
And we'll use it to climb up the
highest skyscrapers in the city.
Lisa, wait for me.
Where are you going?
To the top!
[Grunting]
I'm going to get some
sunflower seeds and grow a whole
forest of sunflowers.
Can I help?
Sure!
[Grunting]
Oh no!
[Gasping]
Is it broken?
I don't think so.
Phew.
Lucky nobody was standing down
there or someone could have
been hurt.
Is the sunflower hurt?
I don't know.
It looks okay.
Let's go downstairs and get
it back.
We've still got lots more
gardening to do.
Just going downstairs, Mom.
Because?
My sunflower accidentally
fell over.
And Corduroy and I are going to
get it back.
Oh, Lisa, don't forget the
elevator isn't working...
today.
What does the sign say?
"Out of order.
Please use stairs.
Sorry for any in... incon..."
"Inconvenience."
"Sorry for
any inconvenience."
I am the one who should
be sorry.
Sorry for what?
You're going to have to use
the stairs, Lisa.
We're doing a safety check on
the elevator.
That's okay.
See you, Pandro.
That's a lot of stairs.
Easy.
Really?
I'll show you.
[Laughing]
Whoa!
This must be a rollercoaster!
I've always wanted to go on
a rollercoaster!
Whee!
[Laughing]
Stop, Lisa!
Stop!
[Gasping]
Oh, Lisa, I'm going as slow
as a turtle.
And you're going as fast as
a rabbit.
I'm a rollercoaster!
You don't mind the elevator
being out of service?
Don't you live on the top floor?
Oh, I don't mind.
Well, got to go.
Umm, Lisa, wait.
Could you do a big favour
for me?
Sure, Mrs. Chao.
What?
My bundle buggy is down in
the lobby.
It's got my groceries in it.
Could you bring it up to
my apartment?
See, this will be my second
trip downstairs.
And I'm finding these stairs
pretty difficult.
CORDUROY, THINKING: But we
have to get the sunflower back,
Lisa.
Sorry, Mrs. Chao.
I'm doing my gardening today.
But this won't take a minute.
Please, Lisa?
Well...
Well, I guess my gardening
can wait.
Thank you, Lisa.
It's very kind of you to help.
Gardening is more fun
than groceries.
I know.
But Mrs. Chao needs our help.
Come on.
[Panting]
It was easy going downstairs.
But going upstairs is a
lot harder.
Wouldn't it be nice if these
stairs became an escalator?
We would just stand still.
And the stairs would do all the
moving for us.
First floor, lobby.
First floor, lobby.
Second floor, third floor.
Third floor, fourth floor.
Shh, Corduroy.
[Knocking]
Oh, come in.
Come in.
Oh, thank you so much.
Hello.
[Meowing]
]] Hi, kit.
Wow.
You've got a lot of nice plants.
It's like a jungle in here.
Gardening is a hobby of mine.
Would you like to sit down,
Lisa?
I've got some ice tea.
Sure.
I got pretty hot running up
the stairs.
Oh, but my sunflower's still
down there.
Got to go, Mrs. Chao.
Whoa, whoa!
Hi, Lisa.
I tripped over one of Moppy's
toys, sprained my ankle.
Ouch!
Could you do me a favour?
There's a messenger downstairs
waiting in the lobby.
He's here to pick up
this package.
I'm afraid I might fall and
sprain my other ankle.
[Sighing]
Sure, no problem.
It looks like you could really
use some help.
♪
[Inhaling]
[Sneezing]
[Baby giggling]
[Laughing]
[Sighing]
Boy, am I tired.
I think we went up and down
those stairs 100 times.
I'm too tired to climb
back up.
Me too.
[Whirring]
Huh?
The safety inspection's over.
And the elevator's back
in operation.
Great.
Going up.
Where's your sunflower?
Oh no!
I was so busy helping, I forgot
all about it.
[Laughing]
[Buzzing]
Is the elevator coming?
No.
Someone must be using it.
Strap on, Corduroy.
We better take the stairs.
The sunflower's broken,
isn't it?
It doesn't look very good.
MRS. CHAO: Lisa!
Lisa!
Is your plant okay?
I don't know.
Why don't you come up to
my apartment?
I can take a look at
your sunflower.
Oh, and I got something I'd like
you to take care of too.
Is my plant going to be okay?
Oh, yes.
Sunflowers are tough.
We just need to give it
something to hold onto until the
stem gets stronger.
Just like Moppy's dad has
crutches for his sprained ankle.
Exactly, just like crutches.
Now, I don't have a pole small
enough for the sunflower to
lean against.
But I have an idea on what we
could use.
A chopstick?
Great!
We'll just tie a little
string around both.
And here we are, as good as new.
Thank you for taking care of
my sunflower, Mrs. Chao.
You're welcome.
But there's something I wonder
if you could take care of
for me.
Sure.
But the elevator's
working again.
No, I don't want you to run
another errand for me.
Look at this.
Pretty.
It's a jade plant, Lisa.
They are a relative to
the cactus.
But a cactus can sometimes have
sharp needles.
Jade plants though have
smooth leaves.
They like lots of sunshine but
don't need a lot of water.
You'd like me to take care of
your plant?
I would like you to take this
jade plant.
It's a thank you gift.
You were so kind to help me and
the other tenants when the
elevator was not in service.
I love it.
I promise to take good care
of it.
I know you will.
Tired?
A little bit, but it feels
good to help other people,
especially because it makes you
feel good about yourself.
[Grunting]
Lisa?
Uh-huh?
Could you help me carry this,
please?
Sure, Corduroy.
All you got to do is ask.
Huh?
