Curiosity Plugs the Trip and Trips the Plug
WeatherViolet12 October 2010
First, in the City, on a Saturday morning, Curious George awakens the Man with the Yellow Hat for their trip to the Zoo to see the Kimoto Dragon, but the distance requires a Subway train trip because the Zoo is now far away. (Back in Season One, the Zoo used to be right around the corner from Apartment Building 7.)

Now, while they await the train, as the Man with the Yellow Hat shows Curious George the main map from Endless Park Station and other neighborhoods, Reginald B. Fonsworth III, the Clown in subway, gives them a balloon twisted into Kimoto Dragon shape, but actually a giraffe shape, as this is the only animal which Reginald the Clown knows how to make.

But when the Man with the Yellow Hat goes to buy a take-along subway map as a souvenir, Curious George boards a train and rides away before the Man with the Yellow Hat is able to catch him, so Reginald the Clown gives the Man with the Yellow Hat a second giraffe balloon.

Well, the female engineer gives Curious George a tour of the controls, so that Curious George pushes the levers to drive the train. Next stop, at Puerto del Sol, Marco and the Latino band invite Curious George to play the drums with them.

But when the next train arrives, the Man with the Yellow Hat is not able to get off the train, and Curious George is not able to board because of the overcrowding, and so the Man with the Yellow Hat tells Curious George that he'll meet him at the next stop, Puerto Paris.

Then, a confused Curious George boards the next train, which takes him back down to his starting point, to face Reginald the Clown, who explains the subway routes from Uptown to the Zoo, to Downtown to Fisherman's Wharf. And yet when the Man with the Yellow Hat boards the downtown train, Curious George takes the uptown train, and from one window to the next, the Man with the Yellow Hat tells Curious George to disembark at the Zoo. But, when the Man with the Yellow Hat learns that there's going to be a one-hour delay for uptown trains, he decides to run.

Now, along the way, Curious George observes from the train, players wearing a Kimota Dragon costume, an Italian Opera singer, Russian dancers and a Swiss Yodeler But by now, the Zoo closes at 4:00 PM (while the zoo near their apartment building closes at 9:00 PM).

So what will the Zookeeper suggest that Curious George and the Man with the Yellow Hat to do the next time which they plan to visit the Zoo after "Curious George's Super Subway Adventure?"

-----

Next, in the Country on a hot summer day, the Man with the Yellow Hat makes freshly-squeezed orange juice while Curious George waters the garden...and everything else...and gets mud all over himself and water upon the Man with the Yellow Hat and everything else.

But when Curious George goes to bathe, he is puzzled to discover that the water has been turned off. So, the Man with the Yellow Hat decides to call Mr. Quint, who arrives to dig the yard to uncover a broken pump and explains to Curious George how to dig a well and how to use a pump.

Now, it will take a few days to fix because the old pump is broken, and so the Man with the Yellow Hat takes Curious George back to the City. Professor Wiseman immediately calls the Man with the Yellow Hat to help her with a serious problem. When the Repairman arrives, the Doorman announces that the water needs to be shut off at 4:00, which is now, so Curious George is unable to take bath once again.

Well, after Hundley the Doorman's Dachshund cleans Curious George's mess in the lobby, Curious George makes another mess, digging for a well on the sidewalk. Now, how to get the water back into the apartment? Curious George carries a turkey baster, which carries a small amount of water and messes the lobby for the Doorman and Hundley the Doorman's Dachshund to clean again.

Then Curious George looks for dirt to dig outdoors for water and discovers a source but now needs to transport it upstairs. (Goof occurs as Curious George appears miraculously clean, then back to muddy again.) Curious George runs a garden hose from the bathtub off the balcony and down into the sidewalk and breaks a water main pipe, causing a gusher and everyone to rush outside to discover the cracked main water pipe.

So, will Hundley, the Doorman, the Repairman and the Man with the Yellow Hat agree that Curious George's water-digging job is "Well Done, George?"
