Curious George: A Very Monkey Christmas (2009)

Post by bunniefuu »

(GEORGE EXCLAIMS)

(GIGGLES)

Hmm.

(EXCLAIMS)

Hmm?

NARRATOR: December
is an exciting month.


Because you know one day you'll wake
up and it'll be Christmas morning.


(EXCLAIMS)

(LAUGHING)

George didn't want
the Man with the Yellow Hat


to miss even
one second of Christmas!


(SNORING)

(GEORGE GIBBERING)

(TED GRUNTS)

(CHATTERING)

George, my spleen.

(CHATTERING)

(SIGHS) Thank you.

And I'm afraid it's still
not Christmas yet, buddy.

(GROANS)

Remember, we talked
about this yesterday,

(CHATTERING)

And the day before

and every morning at :
a.m. Since Thanksgiving?

(SIGHS)

(GIGGLES)

See, today is the th.

So how many days are
there until the th?

(EXCLAIMS)

No, it's more than one.

(CHATTERING)

There.

That's Christmas.

(EXCLAIMS)

This is today.

All these other days
come before Christmas.

(SIGHS)

I know.

NARRATOR:
For an impatient monkey,


anything more than one day
seemed like a million.


(SIGHS) Those days
will go by fast.

Yeah, you'll see.

Every day will be fun.

(SNOW GLOBE CHIMING)

(SINGING) Before the
big day gets here


There's so much
to get done


I think you're
gonna find out


Getting there is
half the fun


Christmas preparations

You can see them
all around


People getting ready

Almost everywhere in town

Are you ready
for Christmas Day to come?


Sing it with me
or if you're a monkey, hum


(GEORGE HUMMING)

(EXCLAIMS)

Christmas
in the lobby


Always organized and neat

One and all are welcome

Don't forget
to watch your feet


(GEORGE EXCLAIMS)

Christmas time
means winter winds


Snow clouds fill the sky

And if I had
the chance, I think


I'd spend it in Hawaii

Are you ready
for Christmas Day to come?


Sing it with me
or if you're a monkey, hum


A feast of seven fishes

Stop it!

First make five
and then add two


Gnocchi, no!

It's a Christmas
Eve tradition


Hey, get off that, you!

(BARKING)

Chasing after Charkie

Every day all through the year

But when it's close
to Christmas


We always end up here

Are you ready
for Christmas Day to come?


Sing it with me
or if you're a monkey, hum


WOMAN: Merry Christmas!
MAN: Time to go shopping!

MAN: Bye, everybody.
WOMAN: Merry Christmas.

MAN: George!
WOMAN: Merry Christmas!

(GEORGE EXCLAIMS)

Hey, Betsy.
Hey, Steve.

Are you looking
for Christmas gift ideas?

Well, we were chasing Charkie
and sort of got distracted.

(GEORGE GIBBERING)

(SIGHS)

(CHATTERING)

(LAUGHING)

I'm going to add that big
xylophone to my Christmas list.

Betsy, you shouldn't put anything
on that list you don't really want.

But I do
really want it.

I'm writing a song on my
xylophone, but it only has keys.

More keys means more
notes to choose, right?

(CHATTERING)

Betsy's list
is long.

Mine is gonna break the record
for shortest Christmas list ever.

My whole list is just four
letters. B- l-K-E. Bike.

(BARKING)

(GASPS)
Charkie, stay!

We gotta go, bye!
Charkie!

Speaking of Christmas lists, don't
you need me to write yours for you?

(GRUNTS)

Have you even decided
what you want?

Uh-uh.

(CHUCKLES) You see how much
preparing we still have to do?

(GEORGE HOOTING)

NARRATOR: George spent the rest of the
day working hard on his Christmas list.


Uh-uh.

Uh-uh.

(EXCLAIMS)

(CHATTERING)

Everybody knows a rhinoceros is
the perfect Christmas present,


but walking one would be
a lot of work.


Uh-uh.

(CHATTERING)

(GASPS)

Then, all at once, George knew
exactly what to put on his list.


(CHUCKLES)

(GIBBERING)

(EXCLAIMS) Oh,
that's a good one.

George, you ready to make
your Christmas list?

(EXCLAIMS)

(LAUGHS)

Well, show me what you want in the
catalog and I'll write your list for you.

Uh-uh.

No?

But if you don't, how will I
know what to put on your list?

(EXCLAIMS)

Is that it?

Uh-huh.

You did it all
by yourself?

Uh-huh!

Wow. I'm impressed
you did it alone.

(CHATTERING)

And this is something
I know you would like?

Uh-huh.

Have I seen it?

(CHUCKLES)

NARRATOR: Of course the Man
with the Yellow Hat had seen it.


(CHATTERING)

(EXCLAIMS) You want me
to write my list?

Uh-huh.

You want to give me
a present?

(GIBBERING)

Why don't you make me
something? Surprise me.

(GIBBERING)

This is what
you really want?

I mean, besides
what Santa brings.

(SIGHS)

NARRATOR: Was there something
wrong with the list?


Don't worry.

Now that I have your list, I'll
make sure you get what you want.

(GIBBERING)

(SIGHS)

NARRATOR: Making a present
was going to be fun.


But how would George
figure out how to make it?


First, he could draw it.

But what was it?

This was going to take
a lot of thought.


(EXCLAIMS)

George woke up the same way he
did every day since Thanksgiving.


(GIBBERING)

Except now he had a chart to let
him know it wasn't Christmas yet.


(SIGHS)

Christmas was still far away,

but George could use that time

to think of a perfect present
for the Man with the Yellow Hat.


George! Ready
for today's preparations?

We are going to get
a Christmas tree.

(CHATTERING)

NARRATOR: There'd be plenty of
time to think of a present later.


Decorating the tree neatly was
Hundley's favorite Christmas preparation.


(ELEVATOR DINGS)

(CHUCKLES)

And here came the absolute
opposite of an organized tree,


George.

Good morning.
Tree's looking good.

A man can accomplish anything when
he's got a plan and a Dachshund.

Wow.

(BARKS)

Come on, George. The early
monkey catches the tree.

(SQUIRREL CHATTERING)

(EXCLAIMS)

All right, George,
pick any tree you like.

Welcome to Mrs. Renkins'
Prize-Winning Christmas Tree Farm.

(CHATTERING)

(LAUGHING)

You know, there's a proper way
to pick out a Christmas tree.

I laid it out
in charts and graphs.

I insist customers read every
page or I won't sell them a tree.

(GEORGE GIBBERING)

(EXCLAIMS) You're a kid who knows a lot.

What does this
look like to you?

(EXCLAIMS) I'm good at
puzzles. It's not a puzzle.

It's what George wants for Christmas,
and I have to figure it out.

I guess it is
kind of a puzzle.

(SQUIRREL CHATTERING)

(CHATTERING)

NARRATOR: George figured he could
see more trees if he was up high.


I don't know
what that is.

Maybe it's a city kid thing.

Oh, boy.

(GASPS)

NARRATOR: George spotted
the perfect tree.


(CHATTERING)

George, you don't climb
Christmas trees!

Proper climbing trees are your
oak, your maple, your spruce...

Climb down
very carefully!

(EXCLAIMS)

(TREES CREAKING)

(EXCLAIMING)

Wow.
Oh, no.

(GRUNTS)

(GIGGLES)

(SCREAMS)

(CHUCKLES)

(SIGHS) I'm sorry,
Bill, I...

I'm going to have to research
the proper way to display trees.

I don't think that's supposed to happen.

(CHATTERING)

That one?

Sure.

(GROANING) Here you go.

(SQUIRREL CHATTERING)

(CHATTERING)

(GRUNTS) Can you pull
my chair off there?

(BOTH GRUNTING)

Yeah, there you go. Yeah.
It's stuck.

Should we pick another tree?

Uh-uh.

(GIBBERING)

NARRATOR: This was the one.

No other tree would do.

Not every Christmas tree
comes with a free chair.

Thanks, Bill!

Merry Christmas!

NARRATOR: George thought Christmas
preparations were pretty exciting so far.


(SQUIRREL TITTERING)

(EXCLAIMS)

Hundley didn't like
the look of this.


(WHINING)

Whoa. Let me guide you. This way.

Okay. Keep coming.
TED: Great, George.

You're doing great.
A little higher.

(GRUNTS) Careful.
All right, just to your left.

(SIGHS)

NARRATOR: George was gone.
The tree was safe.


Hundley needed a rest.

Keep following my voice.

(EXCLAIMS)

NARRATOR: Having no hands, there
was only one thing Hundley could do.


(GROWLING)

(GRUNTS)

Okay, it's starting
to feel heavy.

(EXCLAIMS)

Let me give you a hand.

(GRUNTING)
I got it.

(WHIMPERING)

(CHATTERING)

What's that?

(GROWLING)

(EXCLAIMS)

Hundley!
Yikes!

(SIGHS)
Here, boy.

(EXCLAIMS)

Oh, no.

I'm sorry. We'll help you clean up.

Thanks, but we
can handle it.

We're a great team.

Oh, okay.

(GRUNTS)

(EXCLAIMS)
It's perfect.

(CHATTERING)

Except for
you know what.

Hey, maybe I could
cut it out.

NARRATOR: George didn't want to
risk hurting the perfect tree.


(EXCLAIMS)
I get it.

We can be a great team just
like those lobby guys, right?

(EXCLAIMS)

Let's decorate!

NARRATOR: Imagining the tree all
decorated made George think about


how much the Man with the Yellow
Hat would like his present.


Thank you, George.

(GASPS)

NARRATOR: But he still had no
idea what that present would be.


(SIGHS)

You deserve a gift
that says more


than "Here's what I found
at the grocery store"


It has to be nice
and fit under the tree


But what in the world
could it be?


You might like a car
that has wings


A convertible
with a spare tire that sings


But there's no such thing

What's a monkey to do

To find something
as special as you?


You might like a pier
that can fly


So every day you could
catch fish from the sky


But there's no such thing

What's a monkey to do

To find something
as special as you?


Maybe you'd like everything
that is yellow


You seem like a nice
yellow thing kind of fellow


No, it has to be nice
and fit under the tree


But what in the world
could it be?


So how about
a comfortable chair


That rubs your feet
and then cuts your hair?


Or how about some
self-dancing pants


Oh, yeah

That when you zip them up
they make you dance


Maybe I'll get you
a magical spread


That fixes you
breakfast in bed


No, it has to be nice
and fit under the tree


But what in the world
could it be?


So what should I get?

And what should I do?

To find something
as special as you


To find something
as special as you


When you wake up, George, we'll
be one day closer to Christmas.

(CHATTERING)

NARRATOR: In the morning, George
went to see Betsy and Steve.


(BARKING)

(GEORGE EXCLAIMS)

George is here.

Hi, George.

(GIBBERING)

What present am I giving Aunt Margret?

She loves
Christmas songs,

so I want to write one for her and
sing it at the pageant next week.

(EXCLAIMS)

But anything I think of
is already in another song.

This is what older brothers are
for. I've solved your problem.

(SINGING) Hang things
on the walls like holly


We got Christmas stuff
hung on our walls!


(CHUCKLES)

(SIGHS) That's just
Deck the Halls.


Oh, yeah.

Maybe every Christmas song
has already been written.

Thanks.

(BARKING)

NARRATOR: Being a nonmusical
monkey, George couldn't write a song.


He needed other ideas.

Hey, Giorgio!

This is a Famous Chef Pisghetti
Winter Tomato Snowman Surprise.

You know who
likes those?

(MEWING)

(CHATTERING)

(EXCLAIMS)
She likes any food.

I mean your friend,
the Yellow Cappello Fellow.


(EXCLAIMS)

NARRATOR: This was it. The perfect
gift for the Man with the Yellow Hat!


(GEORGE EXCLAIMS)

(EXCLAIMS)

Turns out,
tomatoes can be squishy.


(EXCLAIMS)

(GROANS)

Tomatoes need to be round
to look like a snowman.


So the squished ones
had to be refilled.


(EXCLAIMS)

I always thought I understood
everything George wanted.

Made any of your famous
Tomato Snowmen yet?

(LAUGHING) Have I made?
Of course! You want that one?

Oh, you bet. Thanks.

(MEWING)

Well, okay. But you get
just one taste, okay?

(PURRING)

(EXCLAIMS) She's
a pretty girl, yes, yes.

Wow. You two
really communicate.

Well, I understand her. Well, just
like you understand Giorgio, right?

Yeah.

George, you home? Wait till
you see what I got at the...

(SOFTLY CHATTERING)

Making your own ketchup?

(SIGHS) Okay.

Oh, you were trying
to make Tomato Snowmen.

That would've been
a perfect surprise for me.

(SIGHS)

NARRATOR: Not only did George need a new idea
for a present, he had to take an extra bath.


(PHONE RINGING)

Professor Wiseman.

Hi. Do you have
time to talk?

Well, I am calculating
the exact path

of a giant asteroid's
collision with Earth.

Great, yeah,
but this is important.

I can't figure out
George's Christmas list.

(GASPS)

I told him I'd get him what he
wants, but I don't know what it is.

Oh, no.

What makes it worse, he knows
what I'd want. Tomato Snowmen.

(LAUGHS) He's so
thoughtful and messy.

Bring him to the museum tomorrow.

I'll get him to explain it somehow.

Oh, thanks.
Good night.

Wait, wait, wait! A giant
asteroid's gonna collide with Earth?

It did,
a long time ago.

It may be what caused
dinosaurs to become extinct.

Oh, that asteroid.

Right.
Good night!

Hi, guys.

Like our
decorations?

Uh-huh!

(EXCLAIMS)

That? Why, it's an artificial
snow shaker. This controls it.

(EXCLAIMS)

Wow, it's like being
at the North Pole.

(HOOTING)

(LAUGHING) Yeah. Here. How will
you get him to explain it to you?

I'm a genius. He's a monkey. Watch.

Hey.

That looks like a simple
yellow ornament, doesn't it?

Uh-huh.

But if you look close, it's Saturn.

(EXCLAIMS)

Things aren't always
what they seem to be.

Like this. It looks like a circle.
But I think it's something more.

If only someone
could tell me what.

Of course!

I should know
all about it.

(GIBBERING)

Monkey one,
genius nothing.

NARRATOR: George thought
the fake snow looked nice now.


So how much better would it
look turned up all the way?


George! George!

(TED EXCLAIMS)

(SIGHING)

(CHUCKLES)

He's sorry.

Sorry?

He revealed a flaw
in the system.

George, maybe you should
work here helping me.

(CHATTERING)

Boy, wouldn't it be fun to have
a snow shaker like this, George?

NARRATOR: That was exactly the
kind of hint George was hoping for.


(CHATTERING)

Where are you going?

(SIGHS)

Well, we could try running this
through a universal translation program.

Oh, yeah.

I'm sorry if we
worked it too hard.

Oh, it's okay.
Computers crash.

(SIREN WAILING)

Yeah, I've just never seen one
burst into flames like that.

FIRE FIGHTER: (SIGHS) Why
don't we get any normal calls?

(GEORGE GIBBERING)

(CHUCKLING)

NARRATOR: This was going to be
the perfect surprise.


TED: George.

(GASPS)

Okay, George, bedtime.

(GRUNTS)

(EXCLAIMS)

Snow shaker?
For me?

Uh-huh.

(GRUMBLING)

NARRATOR: Finding a perfect gift that a
monkey could make wasn't as easy as it sounds.


(EXCLAIMS)

Hi.

I still haven't been able to
write a song for Aunt Margret.

The pageant is only
a few days away.

Anything I think of is
already in a Christmas carol.

(BARKING)

Betsy, I solved
your problem.

A Christmas song
unlike any other.

(SINGING) Oh, Aunt Margret
walked back home


Carrying some cookies

I looked out of
my window and


I said lookie lookie

But that's not
about Christmas.

They're
Christmas cookies.

(CHARKIE BARKING)

I'll keep thinking.

Charkie!

(SIGHS)

NARRATOR: George hoped Betsy
would find a song in time.


Christmas preparations kept George and
the Man with the Yellow Hat very busy.


George.

(GRUNTS)

(GEORGE HUMMING)

(CHUCKLES) Looking
for these, George?

(GIGGLES)

Oh, thank you.

(CHATTERING)

And thank you, too.

NARRATOR: The days
were flying by


so fast that George hadn't found time to
figure out what to make for his friend.


(SIGHS)

And neither had the Man.

It's almost here.
What can I do?

WISEMAN: Why not
follow George?


Maybe he'll go somewhere
that'll give you the answer.

That's it.
You are a genius!

That's actually
my job description.

TED: Yes, it is!

Thanks. Good night.

(SIGHS)

NARRATOR: The next morning, George decided
that he'd do nothing until Christmas


but work on the Man's present.
Whatever it was.


George, I have a lot of places to
go today, so I'll see you at dinner.

(EXCLAIMS)

NARRATOR: Maybe he'd go somewhere
that'd give George an idea for a present.


(CHUCKLES)

I bet he went into Dulson's
to look at toys.

My problems are solved.

(SIGHS)

(CHATTERING)

(EXCLAIMS)

(WHIRRING)

(SCREAMS)

George, don't
climb up there.

(EXCLAIMS) Now he knows I'm here.

(GASPS)

Uh-oh.

Well, hi.

What a coincidence. That
we're both in the same store.

I mean, what're
the odds?

(CHATTERING)

I guess I'll get
going now. See you.

Okay.

Goodbye!

NARRATOR: So, George and the Man with
the Yellow Hat spent the rest of the day


following each other.

TED: I followed
that monkey all day

and all I found out was
he's really hard to follow.

Well, you gave it
a good try.

Not good enough.

(SIGHS) I must be the worst
monkey parent ever.

(GROANS)

NARRATOR: After following
the Man all day,


George was back
where he started,


and tomorrow
was Christmas Eve.


Come on, George. We don't want to
be late for the Christmas pageant.

(CHATTERING)

(EXCLAIMS)

Okay, everyone, first up is
Betsy, who will sing her new song.

Where is Betsy?

(CHATTERING)

I'm over here.

But I won't be
singing tonight.

I couldn't think of anything new
to write a Christmas song about.

I got a song.

(SINGING) Do fish know
when it is Christmas


Do fish know
when it is Christmas


Or are they confused

We'll just start
with Jingle Bells then.


(CHATTERING)

I wanted to surprise
Aunt Margret,

but everything
has been done.

Just look around.
Bells, snow, Santa.

Hmm.

NARRATOR: Betsy was right.

(LAUGHS)

Or was she?

(GIBBERING)

You?

I've never heard a song about
Christmas and monkeys, have you?

Uh-uh.

(LAUGHS)
Thank you!

Nothing solves a problem
like a little monkey.

Okay, places,
everyone.

(GASPS) I can't
write that fast.

(SINGING) Oh, jingle bells,
jingle bells Jingle all the way


Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh


Hey! Jingle bells, jingle
bells Jingle all the way


Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh


WOMAN: Four calling birds

MAN: Three French hens

WOMAN: Two turtle doves

And a partridge
in a pear tree


ALL: And a partridge
in a pear tree


(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)

Thank you.
Thank you.

Well, that was
our last song.

We want to thank you all
so much for coming.

We hope you have
a Merry Christmas.

Where is Betsy? And be sure
to pick up the flyer for...

(GROANS)

Well, I guess my song
will have to save the day.

BETSY: No, wait!
Hold it!

(CHATTERING)

Will you pass out
these copies for me?

Hold on, everybody.
We have one more song.

(SINGING) My Aunt Margret
said she knew


Every Christmas carol

Songs of holly, Santa, snow

And reindeer by the barrel

So I set out to find
some unsung Christmas thing


So for her sake we would have

a brand new carol to sing

Christmas monkey,
Christmas monkey


No one's sung
about Christmas monkey


Christmas monkey's
got no song


It's been that way
for much too long


Monkeys run and monkeys climb

Monkeys love
Christmas time


Just ask George,
the hairy one here


He's got spirit
and monkety cheer


ALL: He's got spirit
and monkety cheer


Don't you think it's time

I mean it's like a crime

It seems so very, very wrong

A Christmas monkey
needs a song


Charkie!

Christmas monkey,
Christmas monkey


No one's sung
about Christmas monkey


Christmas monkey's got no song

It's been that way
for much too long


Monkeys run and monkeys climb

Monkeys love Christmas time

Just ask George,
the hairy one here


He's got spirit
and monkety cheer


Don't you think it's time

I mean it's like a crime

It seems so very, very wrong

A Christmas monkey
needs a song


Harps are plunky

Skunks are skunky

Donuts dunky

An elephant's trunky

But there's only one
thing monkey


Guess what that is

Oh! Oh!

It's a Christmas monkey,
Christmas monkey


Time to sing
of the Christmas monkey


Lift your voices
loud and strong


This is the Christmas
monkey song


Christmas monkey,
Christmas monkey


Deck the halls
with a Christmas monkey


Lift your voices
loud and strong


This is the Christmas
monkey song


Lift your voices
loud and strong


This is the Christmas
monkey song!


(EXCLAIMS) I think
you just broke the record

for the most mentions of a
monkey in a Christmas carol.

(CHEERING)

Oh, Betsy, it was the perfect gift.

I couldn't have done it
without my friend George.

(GIGGLES)

Have a merry Christmas.
It's almost here.

(CHATTERING)

NARRATOR: Betsy came up with a
great present for Aunt Margret.


There must be something George
could think of for the Man!


(EXCLAIMS)

So far, all he'd made
were a bunch of pictures.


(GEORGE GIGGLING)

Maybe there was
something he could make!


(CHATTERING)

He hoped they had enough
wrapping paper.


He was going to need lots.

Meanwhile, the Man with the
Yellow Hat had no ideas at all.


Excuse me. Tomorrow is
Christmas. This is my last chance.

Can you tell me
what this means?

No.

Isn't that a... Oh, no.

I don't know.

I don't know
upside down, either.

(CHARKIE BARKING)

Why don't we ever get shown
any normal Christmas lists?

I can't tell
what that is.

Mmm-mmm. Sorry.

(MEWING)

Gnocchi says
she don't know either.

I agree with Hundley.

It doesn't look like anything
I've ever seen before.

(SIGHS)

(SIGHS) Tomorrow, I'm going to
ruin Christmas for a little monkey.

I said everything would be perfect,
and I gave him a chair stuck in a tree.

I don't understand
him anymore.

I bet there's someone else
who'd understand him better.

I understand her.

You should work
here helping me.


We're a great team.

(SNORING)

Well, it's about time.

Hey. What... Where...
Am I dreaming?

(SCOFFS) Is it possible to
know I'm dreaming in a dream?

What're the rules?

Like I said,
it's about time.

I am the Ghost of Time going
sideways. You know, like this.

Watch your feet.

What?

(EXCLAIMS)

(TED CHUCKLES)

Where are we going?

(CHUCKLES) I have some
things I want you to watch.

Hey, George! Where'd
you get the uniform?

He cannot see
or hear you.

He can't? Why not?

Because you're here
to watch, so shush.

Oh, yeah.
Hey, it's me.

(EXCLAIMS) I don't
look very happy.

(CHATTERING)

Hi, Monkley.

Monkley?
What's going on?

You thought George might be
happier with someone else.

(LAUGHS)
Now you can see.

(LAUGHS) The lobby
looks perfect, as usual.


We're a great team.

A man can accomplish anything
with a plan and a monkey.


(CHATTERING)

(EXCLAIMS) You'd like
a new bike? No problem.


(CHATTERING)

Oh, with a bell?
Look, you got it.


(EXCLAIMS)

Wow, he really
understands George.

Uh-uh. Monkley. Monkley.

Well, this is
the last box.


The apartment's empty.

So this is goodbye.

Why am I moving?

Do hurry up, Honeyhat. I'm cold.

(SNEEZES)

Who is she?

Your wife.

Oh, no.

(SIGHS) I'll miss Monkley.

I'm so sorry we have to move away
because I'm allergic to monkeys.


(SNEEZES)

Allergic to monkeys?

How tragic.

(WHINING)

Sorry, stray dogs
are not welcome.


Hundley is
a stray?

The doorman did not need
a dog, he had a monkey.

We keep this place neat.
Dogs are messy.


Monkeys are neat.

(EXCLAIMS)

Well, if George is happy this
way, I guess he's better off.

Monkley! What are
you doing? Stop!


He's not happy
being neat and orderly.

He's still George!

Okay. Next.

You remember Professor Wiseman
said George could work here?

Watch.

You called for me,
Dr. Brainley?


That's even worse
than Monkley.

(CHATTERING)

(GASPS) This is the most important
discovery in the history of smarts.


I'll notify
the world.


Look at all
those awards.

He's understood
and he's important.

Now, he's got
a perfect life.

(EXCLAIMS)

(CHATTERING)

I guess this
is the best life for him.

(LAUGHING)
He even gets to climb.

Doctor?

(EXCLAIMS)

Dr. Brainley!

Come down here, put your clothes on,
and behave like a famous scientist!


(GROANS)

That's too bad.

Isn't there any way for George
to be understood and happy, too?

Let's see.

Watch.

(MEWING)

Gnocchi, don't.

(MEWS)

Thank you, Sonny. What
would I do without you?


(CHATTERING)

Wow, he's really
good at that!

(GIBBERING)

Hey, hey.

(CHATTERING)

Perfecto!

And your recipe, Sonny,

it's so easy
to understand.


(SIGHS)

(CHATTERING)

Let's go for a walk.

(LAUGHS) Look how
happy he is.

(SINGING) Jingling all
the way to the place


Oh, what fun it is to have
A smiley monkey face


(CHATTERING)

You saved this for last because it's
the perfect life for George, right?

I was kind of hoping it would turn
out that his best life was with me.

What makes you
so sure it's not?

(CHARKIE BARKING)

(EXCLAIMS)

CHEF PISGHETTl:
Break time over, Sonny.


We have to get ready
for the dinner crowd.


(SIGHS)

(GROANS)
Poor little monkey.

Wait just
a second.

The list.

The window.

Hey. That's what
he wants!

But this is
just a dream.

Is the real window
the same?

(EXCLAIMS) You'll have to check
that for yourself when you wake up.

How do I wake up? It's almost
Christmas! I have to wake up!

(GROANS) Have to wake up. I
have to wake up. I have to...

I'm awake. I gotta check that window.

(SHIVERING)

I should've put
a coat on.

The shapes,
they are the toys!

The helicopter.
The train. The drum.

I figured it out!

(LAUGHING) I understand my monkey!

I'm the one who
understands him best!

(GRUNTS)

Merry Christmas,
everybody!

I understand
my monkey!

Oh, I forgot
to get the presents.

No!

We're closed.

Have a Merry Christmas.

But I only need
a few things! Look!

Sorry. But I'm spending
Christmas with my sister

and if I don't close at : ,
I'll miss my train.

No!

It's not : yet.
My watch is always right.

And look at the clock
on the wall.

Hey, you're right.
My watch is fast.

Come on in. We're open
for another minutes.

Thank you for this and for
things you don't even know about.

Go. Time waits for no one.

NARRATOR: The countdown
to Christmas is exciting


because you know
one day you'll wake up


and it'll be
Christmas morning.


(SNORING)

(EXCLAIMING)

(CHATTERING)

(GRUNTING)

(CHATTERING)

Yes, George.
Now, it's Christmas.

(EXCLAIMING)

Okay, I'm coming.

Aren't we going
to the tree?

(CHATTERING)

For me? Is this my present?

Uh-huh.

(EXCLAIMS) A roll of wrapping
paper. Thank you. I can use it.

(GIGGLING)

(LAUGHS) Wow!
Oh, that's terrific!

Whoa! All our Christmas
preparations.

Uh-huh.

(CHATTERING)

Yeah, that's us.

Wow, look at that.
Renkins' tree farm.

The snow machine.

(GEORGE GIGGLES)

Tomato Snowmen.

Poor Hundley.

A rhinoceros?

A flying car!
Wouldn't that be neat?

Betsy's song.

Wow, we sure had a lot
of fun this month.

(CHATTERING)

This part?

(CHATTERING)

You and me and the chair in the
tree. That's your favorite part?

(EXCLAIMS)

(TED SIGHS)

(GIBBERING)

Okay. You ready to open the
presents that are under the tree?

(CHATTERING)

(EXCLAIMS)

(EXCLAIMING)

(CAROLERS SINGING)
Christmas with a monkey


Time for all
my favorite things


Songs of squashed tomatoes

And the joy a monkey brings

Get the mop and vacuum

Put a chair up in your tree

So if you are a monkey

Just invite my friends and me

Are you ready
for Christmas Day to come?


Sing it with me
or if you're a monkey, hum


Give me a hum
