Curious George.♫ Oh... Captioning sponsored by NBC/UNIVERSAL NARRATOR: The window of Dulson's Toy Store was impossible to walk past without stopping.
Oh!
Hey, what do you say we stop in here for just a second?
Okay, George?
(chattering) Crunchie banana bars.
Remember, don't eat them all in one day or you'll get another tummy ache.
Don't worry, Mrs. Dulson.
I learned my lesson last time.
(chattering) You remember what we agreed.
Any extra toys you buy with your allowance.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Mmm!
He gets a dollar a week for doing his chores.
The toy boat costs five dollars, George.
Let's see.
One, two, three, four, five.
I'm sorry, George, but it will take 500 pennies to buy a boat.
Huh?
Yeah.
Let's go home and count up the rest of your savings.
George, you've been searching for 15 minutes.
Don't you have any money saved?
Oh... Aha!
That's it?
Oh!
Oh, so that's where most of it is.
Uh-huh!
Ah!
Oh.
Hmm.
You really need to organize your funds, buddy.
I know just the thing for you.
(excited chattering) It's just like the one I saved my money in when I was your age.
Okay, George, let's feed Piggy.
One, two, three, four, five.
And... six, seven, eight, nine, ten cents.
And five pennies is the same as one nickel.
Ooh.
A little extra to get you started.
Now you have 15 cents.
Oh... Well, George, you won't find any more nickels in your ears.
That was my little magic trick.
Ah.
(coin clinking) Let's see, if you save your dollar allowance every week, you'll have that new boat in one, two, three, four, five weeks.
(sighs) Or you could do extra chores and get it even sooner.
Saving money sounded good to George... so he started doing extra chores right away.
Um, George?
Where are you?
I thought you were going to dust the roo... GEORGE: Aha.
What?
Wow.
I don't think anyone's ever dusted up there before.
Thanks!
Huh?
Oh, is that why you gave me this?
Well, thank you, George.
Oh, I get it.
Thank you.
Good-bye, George.
George, I can't pay you for things I usually do myself.
That's why I wouldn't let you brush my teeth.
Oh.
(sad chattering) But here's a 20 cent advance on next week's allowance.
Five, ten, 15, 20 cents.
How could George earn more money?
Chef Pisghetti might need some help doing kitchen chores.
There's always work for a good Pasta Detangler.
No knots!
Great, Giorgio!
My new slogan's gonna be, "Pisghetti's Spaghetti: It's Knot Free!"
Get it?
Knot with a "K"?
I love this monkey.
Piggy was heavier than ever, but he wasn't full yet.
How else could George earn money?
Ooh.
(loud noises) George thought Pisghetti's would be a good location, but he wasn't making much money.
Poor Giorgio.
He's trying to earn money to buy a boat, but nobody seems to appreciate his music.
I think I can make everybody happy.
George, those are really nice instruments.
Can I buy them for a dollar?
Huh?
These are quarters, George, each one is the same as 25 pennies.
Oh.
25, 50, 75, 100 pennies and that equals one dollar.
(grunting) Congratulations, George, your piggy bank is full.
Now why don't we open your bank and see if a pig's worth of pennies is enough to buy the boat you want?
Hmm?
Huh?
I know how to get your money out.
Let's go to my house.
With Piggy's help, George had saved his money.
Now his big dream was about to come true.
Here you go, George.
This is the kind of piggy you have to break open.
It's so you won't be tempted to spend your savings.
Okay, we'll think of another way.
Okay, go, George.
(gasps) Whew.
Maybe if we put Piggy in the clothes dryer the coins would shake out.
But it may break it, too.
Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh.
(barking) Charkie, stay!
Charkie, no!
(piggy bank breaking) Well, Charkie solved the how-to-open-Piggy problem.
Well, its eight dollars exactly.
You have enough for your boat, plus three dollars left over.
George had his boat... but he was going to miss Piggy.
Aha.
Oink, oink, oink.
Oh, the piggy bank.
That's one dollar and you have three.
Any idea what you'll save for this time, George?
(George making airplane noise) GIRL: George is a monkey.
