Emily Elizabeth Howard quotes from Clifford the Big Red Dog

Emily-Elizabeth

Clifford, no!

Emily-Elizabeth

Clifford! It's story time! Today's story is Speckle and the Rainy Day. One day, Speckle went walking in the rain. He walked past Darnell trying to stay dry. Speckle invited Darnell to join him under his umbrella. Then, Speckle saw 🌝, and he invited her to join them under the umbrella, too. As they walked by the brook, they spied Ravi and Reba, but, there was no more room under Speckle's umbrella. So, Speckle invited everyone to climb in, and they all floated downstream in their umbrella boat, 😃 and 😆 together. The end.

I know everyone's been telling you not to dig today. [Clifford whimpers] But we didn't mean for you to think that all digging is bad. In fact, digging is one of your best talents. You're very good at it. It's just that there's a right time and a right place for you to use your talents. And right now, if you dig here... you'll really be helping us.

Emily-Elizabeth

Clifford, I think you've grown!

Emily-Elizabeth

Emily-Elizabeth

Hi, Cleo! [pets Cleo] Hello, you sweet little girl.

Emily-Elizabeth

Emily-Elizabeth

It doesn't matter what's in it! A journal is personal, and private! And you shouldn't have read mine!

Clifford

Emily-Elizabeth would never take her medal!

Emily-Elizabeth

[to Jetta who accuses her for stealing her metal] I'd never take your medal.

Jetta

You were jealous because I won the spelling contest, so you stole it.

[finds Clifford in his shoe; laughs] Here he is!

Emily-Elizabeth

Thanks, dad.

This little guy can fit just about anywhere. [tickles Clifford's belly] I hope he doesn't get himself into trouble.

Emily-Elizabeth

[Sighs] I wish we could go to the park.

Jetta Handover

[Angrily] Me too. That Mr. Bleakman has ruined it for everyone.

[From behind them] Hey. What are you kids doing here?

Emily-Elizabeth

We're sorry, Mr. Bleakman. Are we making too much noise or something?

No. But kids and dogs should at the park– [Uses his left leg to wheel out the trash can from behind him] –on a beautiful day like today. [Drops the "No dogs" sign in the can] Don't you think so?

Jetta Handover

[Excitedly] You mean we can go back to the park now, Mr. Bleakman?

Emily-Elizabeth

[Excitedly] With our dogs?

That's what parks are for. [Jabs his thumb at the path leading to the park] Now get going.

Emily-Elizabeth

[Excitedly] Come on, Clifford, let's go!

[Happily] Yep. That's what parks are for.

Emily-Elizabeth

I've been thinking, being in the parade alone doesn't really sound like all that much fun.

Charley

I know what you mean. The most fun part of being in the parade is doing it together.

Emily-Elizabeth

Yeah.

Emily-Elizabeth

What's everyone doing?

Mrs. Howard

They're building Clifford a doghouse.

Emily-Elizabeth
