Little Clifford Transcripts

Emily Elizabeth: "Little Clifford" [At school, She is having show & tell class] Good morning. Today I'm going to tell you about my favorite memory, ahem. My favorite memory by Emily Elizabeth Howard. "My favorite memory starts back when I was just a little girl. Living in an apartment building in the city. Back then, I didn’t have a dog. But I wanted one more than anything in the whole world." [In 1982, she was in kindergarten. Emily Elizabeth reads a dog book in her bedroom] Someday, I'm going to have a real dog, big and beautiful. Maybe an Irish setter with a shiny red coat. Or a big, tall great Dane. Or maybe a Komondor. [Chuckles] Then mom and dad won't need a mop. [Emily Elizabeth wears cyan dress and dress shoes for the 6th birthday party with her birthday cake and blow out the candle] "Then, on my Birthday, my parents told me they had a big surprise."
Caroline (with a camera for take a picture of Emily Elizabeth's Birthday): Ha ha ha ha! Happy Birthday, Emily. Make a wish
Girl: All right, Emily!
Mark: What'd you wish for, honey?
Emily Elizabeth (she clutched her bunny): I can't tell or it won't come true.
Caroline: You didn't, by any chance, wish for a dog, did you?
Emily Elizabeth (gasps): That's exactly what I wished for? 
Caroline: Well, Mr. Bradley's dog had litter of puppies last month..
Mark And he'd like to give you one.
Emily Elizabeth: Oh, yes, I do, I do! Thank you!
[The doorbell rings, she has to wear regular clothes on for the new puppy next door.]
Mr. Bradley: Well, hello, Emily Elizabeth. Come on in and meet all the puppies. [We wanted to come in and meet the puppies] There's the proud mama. 
Emily Elizabeth (The puppies licked Emily Elizabeth): Oh, they're all so cute. [The puppies barking, as Emily gasped for the small red puppy. Emily Elizabeth laughing] That little red dog is so cute. He's the one I want. 
Mr. Bradley: Oh, I don't know, Emily Elizabeth. That's the runt of the litter. 
Emily Elizabeth: What does that mean? 
Mr. Bradley: Well, he's the smallest of the bunch, and he'll always be small.
Emily Elizabeth: But... he needs me. 
Mr. Bradley: Are you sure he's the one, honey?
Emily Elizabeth: Mm-hmm, yes. I'm sure. [Little Clifford panting and Emily Elizabeth laughing.] And I'm going to name him Clifford. My small red puppy. [At the living room] Welcome to your new home, Clifford. [Clifford barking and he wanders off and sniffing around the rug. Clifford barks in Emily Elizabeth's bunny doll. Clifford growling, panting and barking. He collapses Emily Elizabeth's bunny and Clifford barks at her, as Emily laughs] Hee, hee, I think you're going to like it here.
Mark: Taking care of a dog is a big responsibility, Emily. You'll have to feed him and play with him and take him for walks.
Emily Elizabeth: Don't worry, dad. I'll take good care of Clifford. 
Mark (clutched his collar from the pet store): I know you will. Oh, here's a collar for him. We got this collar before you picked little Clifford. Ha ha ha ha ha.
Emily Elizabeth: I hope it fits. [Clifford wears his collar and it's too large] Oh, no. It's too big. Wait! I know what to do. [Emily has an idea to get a black collar for the small bunny in her bedroom] Oh, this will be perfect. [In the kitchen, she gives him a dog food] Clifford, time to eat. [Clifford barking] Oh, there you are boy. [Clifford can't reach the bowl] You can't reach your bowl in that big bowl, can you? Heh, well, we're just going to have to think of something else, Clifford. [Emily Elizabeth rocks the chair, during to feed Clifford with a baby bottle] This is better, huh? [Clifford is yawning in Emily Elizabeth's lap in black skirt] I love you, Clifford. [In the living room, he's disappeared. Emily Elizabeth is looking for the couch as finding Clifford] Dad, have you seen Clifford?
Mark: Gee, no, Emily, I haven't. [He's putting your dress shoes on and Clifford barks] Ha ha ha ha, here he is. 
Emily Elizabeth: Thanks, dad. 
Mark: This little guy can fit just about anywhere. I hope he doesn't get himself into trouble. [Mark tickled Clifford]
Emily Elizabeth: Ah, don't worry, dad. I'll take care of him.
Mark: You're doing a great job, Emily [He licks him in Mark's head] 
[Clifford sniffled in the floor and put it in Caroline's purse. At the hallway, We can go to the bakery and get some French bread. Caroline wears tan jacket.]
Caroline: Come on, Emily, we got to go. [She grabbed Emily Elizabeth's aqua jacket] 
Emily Elizabeth: But mom. I want to say goodbye to Clifford. 
Caroline: Oh, honey, we got to go. We'll be back in just a minute. [At the bakery, we got a bag of French bread for a checkout] Thanks for the bread, Mr. Thompson. How much do I owe you? [gasps with Emily Elizabeth gasps] Oh, my!

Emily Elizabeth (Clifford slide the wedding cake and splashed the frosting. She smacked her lips from the wedding cake): Mmm.
Caroline (We can get out of the bakery with no dogs): I'm so sorry, Mr. Thompson. It won't happen again. 
Emily Elizabeth: Clifford and I promise. Mm-hmm-hmm. [Mr. Thompson is putting no dogs allowed in this bakery sign by the door] I'm sorry, mom. Clifford didn't mean to cause trouble. He just kind of got scared. With all those people in there.
Caroline: I know, dear. 
Emily Elizabeth: I didn't even know he was in your purse.
Caroline: Neither did I. He's so tiny. 
Emily Elizabeth: But I love him, mom, just the way he is.
Caroline: Of course you do, Emily. But sometimes I worry about him being so small.
Emily Elizabeth: I'm just going to have to find a way to help him grow.
Caroline: I'm sure you will.
Emily Elizabeth (She's wearing pajamas in your bed with Clifford): Mom says it isn't good for a dog to be so small, Clifford. So, you have to eat up and get big and strong. But remember, I love you no matter what size you are. Good night, Clifford. [The next day, in the year 1983, Emily Elizabeth has 7-year-old first grader, Clifford is grown in her bedroom and barked] Clifford, I think you're grown! [In the kitchen, he eats dog food in his bowl]

Emily Elizabeth: I know! Isn't it great? [Clifford panting to wag his tail are huge] 
Mark: Well, yes. It's nice...
Caroline: But a small apartment in the city is no place for big red dog like Clifford. 
Emily Elizabeth: But... I love him. 
Mark: I know. So, it looks like we're all just going to have to move.
Emily Elizabeth: Oh! Thank you, thank you, dad! But how can we move him? He doesn't even fit through the door anymore.
Mark: We'll think of something. I told you taking care of this dog Wasn't going to be easy.
Emily Elizabeth: But he sure is worth it. [He slurped the Howards] 
Mark: He sure is.
