The Great Race Transcripts

Emily Elizabeth: The Great Race
[The butterfly fluttered at Birdwell Island Park; Clifford blows around the butterfly.]
Cleo: Clifford! [T-Bone holds his big foot] You cannot move in freeze tag, no matter what. That's the rule.
Clifford: Oops.
Cleo: Gotcha! [Cleo chases T-Bone]
T-Bone: Ho-ho-ho-hoh! [He chased Cleo at the park] Whoa!
Cleo: Freeze! [T-Bone smashed the grass with dirty mud and the fertilizer is squishy]
Mac: Aah!
T-Bone: Ugh! Oh!
Mac: What do you think you're doing? Ugh! [Mac sweeps the dirt in the fur] Can't you even say you're sorry?
Cleo: He can't talk, 'cuz we're playing freeze tag, Mac.
Clifford: Want to play?
Mac: Ugh. With T-Bone? Well, that wouldn't be fair. I mean, me with my speed against the slowest dog on the island. [T-Bone grunting]
Clifford: Hey, that's not nice.
Cleo (laughing): Ha ha ha ha ha! Are you kidding? Not only is T-Bone fast, He can jump so high, and he's really, really strong.
T-Bone: Mmm.
Mac: Yeah, right. Whatever.
Clifford: T-Bone is a pretty fast runner. He's strong, too. [Cleo nodded]
Mac: Oh, really? You think he could outrun, outjump, out strong me?
Cleo: With both paws behind his back.
Mac: Really? Then how about a little contest-- Me against T-Bone, Winner take all?
Cleo: OK, winner take all.
Clifford: All what?
Mac: If I lose, I give T-Bone my gorgeous collar. If he loses... I take his collar.
Cleo: Deal.
Mac: Deal.
Cleo: This'll be great, huh, T-Bone? 
T-Bone: He won't talk, 'cuz, you didn't unfreeze him, Cleo. You know T-Bone. He never breaks the rules.
Cleo: Heh. Ok, T-Bone. I officially unfreeze you.
T-Bone: Why'd you say I'd race him, Cleo?
Cleo: What?
T-Bone: I don't want to race Mac, especially for my brand-new collar.
Cleo: Why didn't you tell me?
T-Bone: 'Cuz, you cannot move in freeze tag, no matter what. Those are the rules.
Cleo: Oh, yeah. Well, don't worry. You're going to do great in this race.
T-Bone: Are you sure?
Cleo: Have I ever steered you wrong?
T-Bone: Lots of times.
Cleo: Huh? Well, not this time, 'Cuz Clifford and I are going to help you get ready for this race.
Clifford (he draws on the map in the sand at Birdwell Island Beach) Ok, T-Bone, the Race'll start at the dunes, go through town, then you'll jump over the Bleakman's garden, run all the way to the beach, pull a wagon across the sand...
Cleo: Then make a final dash across...
Clifford & Cleo: The finish line!
T-Bone: Ooh, wow! Wow, what are we waiting for? Let's start training!
Clifford: Faster, T-Bone! [T-Bone goes swimming in Clifford's dish at Emily Elizabeth's yard] That's the way. You're looking strong! [Both grunting in the rope between the mud puddle] Go, T-Bone! Just say to yourself, "I can do it! I can do it!"
T-Bone: I can do it![T-Bone gets dirty inside the mud]
Cleo: A little higher! Little higher! [T-Bone jumps around Tummy Yummy] Yes!
T-Bone (muffled): Now how do I get down?
[Cleo & T-Bone grunting between the puddle]
Clifford: Remember, T-Bone, "I can do it!"
T-Bone: I can do it! [T-Bone is splashing in the water] Hmm?
[Clifford is stepping in the tires. Cleo jumping, barking & laughing inside the tire]
Clifford: Ok, now you try. [T-Bone jumps around the tire]
Cleo: Huh?
T-Bone: I can do it! [T-Bone jumps into the tires]
Cleo: All right!
Clifford: Yay, T-Bone! [Cleo & T-Bone grunting inside the mud puddle with a rope at the park] Come on, T-Bone!
T-Bone: I can do it! I can do it! [Cleo gets dirty]
Cleo: You did it!
Clifford: You're ready, T-Bone. Just remember...
Clifford & Cleo: You can do it!
[At the beach, the flags are just around the corner]
Cleo: OK. You ready for the race, T-Bone?
T-Bone: Yep. I really think I can do it.
Clifford: Sure you can. 
Mac: So, T-Bone, ready to back out?
T-Bone: No, thanks. I'm ready to race.
Cleo: Ok! On your mark!
T-Bone: Good luck, Mac.
Mac: Uh, yeah, right.
Clifford: Get set!
Cleo & Clifford:: Go! [T-Bone & Mac running around the sand hill. Mac pushed the seaweed from the ocean]
T-Bone: Wahoo! [T-Bone has to go into the seaweed]
Cleo: Go! T-Bone!
T-Bone: Unh!
Cleo: Wahoo!
Clifford: Go, T-Bone!
[Mac panting in Mr. Bleakman's yard. Mac laughing and got in water in Mr. Bleakman's yard]
T-Bone: I can do it! [T-Bone running into Mr. Bleakman's yard. Mac gasping and turning on the water in Mr. Bleakman's yard and T-Bone got mud all over the yard, before Mr. Bleakman has a fit]
Mr. Bleakman: What in blue blazes... Oh! T-Bone, what are you up to? [T-Bone whining to have mud all over the garden. Mac panting. Then, Mac barking] Huh? [Mac barking] Whoa! [Cleo barking] Whoa! If I never see another dog again... [Clifford barking] It'll be too soon.
[At The beach, Mac collapsed the wagon full of sand. As Mac rolling in the rock. T-Bone panting.]
Mac: Now we'll see who's the winner here. '[Mac & T-Bone to chomping the rope into their mouth]''
Cleo: Come on, T-Bone!(Clifford: You can do it!) [Mac and T-Bone has a sand wagon race]
Mac: Kiss your collar good-bye!
T-Bone: I can do it. I can do it. [The dogs are running in the race]

Cleo: Unbelievable.
Mac (panting): I won! I won!
Clifford: Here he comes!
Cleo: Yay, T-Bone! Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay! (Clifford: Whoo! Yay-Yeah! Whoo!)
Mac: He didn't win! I did!
T-Bone: Did you see me? Did you see how fast I was going?
Clifford: Sure did. You almost won!
Cleo: Mac almost didn't stand a chance.
T-Bone: I mean, I wasn't sure I could do it, But I really almost won!
Clifford: You were awesome, T!
Cleo: Hooray for T!
Clifford: T-Bone's the best!
Mac: I don't get it. What are you so happy about? I'm the one who won, you know.
T-Bone: You were right, Mac. It was a good race, but you won. Go ahead, Mac. You won my collar fair and square.
Mac: Yeah, uh, fair and square. Uh. Oh, keep it. I don't even like it.
T-Bone: It's ok, Mac. You ran a fair race, and I lost. You earned it.
Mac: No, I didn't earn it. I cheated, ok? I didn't win it fair and square. I could have, but I didn't, so, I want you
to keep your collar, ok? Next time, I'll really beat ya!
T-Bone: Poor Mac. He feels really awful '’cuz he cheated.
Cleo: Yeah, but you didn't. You were awesome, T-Bone.
T-Bone: Thanks. I did my best.
Cleo: You really tried. 
Clifford: And that's what made it a really great race. [At the ending in Cleo, T-Bone and Clifford. Flipped back to pages of Emily Elizabeth & Clifford]
