Curious George.♫ Oh... Captioning sponsored by UNIVERSAL ANIMATION NARRATOR: George was happy because he had a very important job to do today.

(meows) Very funny, George.

And no, it wasn't doing cat impersonations.

(mews) His job was to watch Professor Wiseman's new kitten Lucky who was too young to take care of himself.

(hooting) Whew!

(mews) We have to go now.

Can you believe city workers digging a new water pipe found dinosaur bones?

Yeah, George, we only have a few hours to rescue the bones before they start digging again.

We're lucky to get even a few hours.

(meows) And speaking of lucky, you're too little and too silly to come along, aren't you?

Aren't you?

Good-bye, Lucky.

(mews) Thanks, George.

See you back home, George.

And please, take good care of Lucky.

(chatters "Bye-bye") Good.

George planned on taking excellent care of Lucky.

(laughs) You're in charge of the lobby till I get back, Hundley.

(George chatters) (barks) (humming) Now what was that monkey bringing into his lobby?

Probably something that spills or smells or oozes or... (meows) (barks) Lucky had no idea what Hundley was.

He'd never seen a dog before.

(barking) But he liked the way it smelled.

He liked the way it felt... (purring) ...and he liked the way it sounded.

In fact, Lucky liked everything about Hundley.

(mews) (purring) Hundley wasn't so sure a dignified Dachshund should allow a kitty to walk on his back.

(sneezes) (gasps) Whew!

(mews) (sneezing) Hundley!

Bless you.

Is this your kitten, George?

Uh-huh!

Uh-huh!

Hundley's allergic to certain cats, and that cat must be one of 'em.

Oh... (sniffing) Please, keep it away.

(sighs) (chattering) (mewing) (dog barking) (mews) (chattering) (mews) (dog barking) Lucky missed Hundley already.

But how could Lucky be with Hundley if he wasn't allowed near him?

Hmm... Hey.

George could build Lucky a perfect sneeze-free wiener dog.

Lucky seemed to like the way Hundley sounded.

What did Hundley sound like?

(heart beating) Huh?

Hello.

Bye-bye.

George had to find something that made a bump-bump sound.

(ticking) Now, what else did Lucky like about Hundley?

Lucky liked the way Hundley felt.

Oh... Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh.

And now just a few more things and George could build a Hundley.

Aha!

(laughs) (mewing) (chatters "Hey!")

Ta-da!

(meowing) (chortling happily) Lucky had never seen one of these before.

(ticking) (purring) He liked the way it felt.

(meowing) He liked the way it sounded.

(ticking) (sniffing) But he did not like the way it smelled.

(chortles inquisitively) (sniffing) (grunting) Nope, that didn't smell like Hundley.

But what did Hundley smell like?

Oh.

(sniffing) Oh, yeah, he smelled like... that Hundley smell.

Oh.

Now where could George get something that smelled like Hundley?

Huh.

(sniffing) This pillow smelled like Hundley.

And then some.

(chortling happily) (barking) Hundley sure didn't like to share his pillow.

(barking) (meowing) That was the sound of Lucky's friend.

Hundley was here.

(barking) No doubt about it.

Hundley was inside this thing.

(grunting) (screaming) (barking) (meowing) (rattling) (meowing) (meowing) (barking) (meowing) (barking) (barking) (barking) (meowing) The barks stopped.

But Lucky was sure Hundley was in here somewhere.

(chortles inquisitively) Oh.

Hey.

Uh-oh.

(barking) (barking) (gasps) (barking) (chattering) (barking) (meowing) (barking) (Lucky meowing) (barking) Shh.

Lucky was somewhere in the walls.

(phone ringing) (beep) Huh?Huh?

MAN: Hi, George, we're on our way home with pizza and dinosaur bones.

I hope you and Lucky are having fun.

Uh-oh.

How could he find Lucky behind the wall if he couldn't see or hear him?

(sneezing) (sniffing) Aah!

(sneezing) Huh?

Aha!

(sniffing) (sneezing) (sneezing) (chortling happily) At that moment, Hundley realized every undignified moment of his life involved George.

(sniffing) (sniffing) (sneezing) (chortles inquisitively) (growling softly) Hundley had enough.

Now his nose was starting to itch.

(sneezing) Lucky recognized that sound.

(meowing) (sniffing) (chattering) (sneezing) (Hundley sneezing) (meowing) (scratching) (sniffing) George had to hope he was right.

The more Hundley sneezed, the closer he was to Lucky.

(sneezing) (meowing) (sneezing) (meowing) (meowing) (meowing) (chortling happily) (meowing) (purring) George knew exactly where Lucky was.

Except... he was still inside the wall.

(chortles inquisitively) I heard Hundley sneezing through the grate downstairs.

Please, keep that cat away.

Where is the cat?

(chortles inquisitively) (sneezing) Oh, boy.

Nobody move.

(sneezing) (grunting) (chortles inquisitively) (meowing) (chortling happily) All right, little guy, you're free.

(meowing) (chortling happily) (purring) (chortling happily) Oh, George, wait till you hear about the weird digging we did... eh... today.

(giggling) (meowing) Wha... what, what, what?

I'm learning that sometimes it's better not to even ask.

(chortling) (meowing)
