clementine's

well sorry it's too far out of my way

i'd be late can you drop rosie at

grandma's

well yes but we have to leave right away

who's going to take me to clementine's

house

you and i are going to take the subway

to go to clementine's

what's a subway

the subway is like a train

but it goes in a tunnel under the ground

caillou had been on a train before and

he liked trains a lot

[Music]

hold on to mommy's hand when we go down

the escalator okay caillou okay

caillou light the escalator

it did all the moving

all they had to do was just stand there

ready

jump

whoa

[Music]

oh

mommy can i do that too can i have some

money please

okay let me see if i can find some

[Music]

thank you

it was as though the lady was playing

her music

just for caillou

[Music]

i'm going on the subway

well then you're gonna need a ticket

aren't you

look mommy

it's stuck maybe your ticket can get it

unstuck

mommy my ticket's gone

and is the metal bar still stuck no

that ticket as a souvenir caillou yay

he liked this underground train station

mommy showed caillou the map of the

subway

it showed all the places the train went

where are we mommy

we're

here and that's where we're going

one dot two dots three dots

look mommy little maps

you could take one and keep it caillou

can i take one for clementine too

i think that's a great idea

caillou was impressed with all the

presents he was getting at the

underground station

[Music]

we have to stay behind this yellow line

until the train comes

your attention please

green line train arriving on platform

seven

caillou thought that the person making

the loud announcement must be very tall

mommy

it's okay caillou

that hot wind means the train is coming

do you hear it

uh-huh

caillou found the noise and rush of the

incoming train

a little frightening

caillou spears disappeared when he saw

the brightly colored trains

[Music]

one stop

i want to sit there caillou

you have to wait until the train stops

before switching seats sweetie

[Music]
