""The Quirkersons were orphans ever since their parents spontaneously combusted, as parents are known to do."" "Clarence: [giggling]" ""The orphans had dueled with sinister adults and solved crimes of the most peculiar peculiarities." "But this case would turn out to be perhaps the quirkiest ..."" "Sumo: [laughing]" "Clarence and Sumo, you know" "I'm gonna have to take away a buddy star for that." "[Students gasp]" "Aah!" "Sumo: [growls]" "Clarence:" "Man, I'm not doin' so hot on my buddy stars." "[School bell rings]" "Jeff has so many buddy stars." "Why even try?" "Do you think I have enough buddy stars to get into a good college?" "Jeff:" "So, I counted, and I have 23 buddy stars." "That's the most in the whole class!" " Sumo:" "That's great, Jeff." " Jeff:" "Don't be jealous, Sumo." "It's just 'cause I work a lot harder than everyone else." "Sumo: [raspberry]" "Jeff:" "Oh, that's really mature of you." "[raspberry continues] Jeff:" "Oh, that's a very convincing argument." "Clarence:" "What do buddy stars even mean?" "They're not my buddies." "They just make everybody sad ... everybody except for Jeff." "[Sighs]" "I wish everybody could just have as many as Jeff." "Then everyone would be happy." "I should just make up my own rewards and give those out to everybody." "[Gasps]" "My own buddy stars!" "That's it!" "Okay, okay, think, think, think, think, think." "What could be better than star stickers?" "Ice cream, dogs, money..." "Money!" "That's it!" "Hmm..." "Mom:" "Clarence, if you don't eat your food, I'm giving it to the dog!" "Clarence:" "Tell her I can't make it tonight!" "Not when I'm this close." "Mom: [sighs] What is wrong with that boy?" "Clarence:" "Too dark..." "too light... this isn't working!" "I can't use this." "It's wet!" "Gotta make some money." "[Gasps] Of course!" "It's so simple." "[Humming] Yeah, yeah, yeah!" "Right there..." "[sniff] [school bell rings]" "Clarence: [Giggles] Hey, Crendle!" "Good job at showing up for school today!" "Here you go." "[Giggles]" "Ooh, nice backpack!" "Oh, wow!" "And you're wearing a T-shirt that matches?" "Cool!" "Here, have one more." "Tee-hee!" "Clarence:" "C-plus?" "Great job, Clarence!" "Aw, man, another "F." I really thought I'd pass this one." "Well, you should have studied." "I did study." "I guess I'm just dumb." " Clarence:" "Here you go." " What is it?" "Clarence:" "It's a Clarence dollar..." "for puttin' in a good effort!" "Wow." "Somehow, I don't feel the sting as much." "Mmm." "Clarence, he got an "F" on his paper." "Okay, that's not an achievement." "Jeff:" "Yeah, buddy stars are an achievement." "Okay, thank you, Jeff." "[sighs]" "Jeff:" "Clarence, you can't just make up your own grading system." " It would be irrelevant." " Clarence:" "Jeff, I don't know the meaning of the word "irrelevant."" " No, I really don't." " Jeff:" "It means it doesn't matter." "We've got a perfectly fine system." "You know, maybe if you were more respectful and stopped eating gum off the bottom of desks," " you'd have some buddy stars up there." " Clarence:" "I guess you're right." "Here, Sumo, you want these things?" " Sumo:" "Yeah." "What are they?" " Clarence:" "A dream." " Only a dream." " Sumo:" "Hmm." "[School bell rings]" "Clarence: [sighs]" "Back to another day of buddy stars." "I have Clarence dollars!" "I'll give you three." "Mm... okay!" "You're my best friend!" " No, you are!" " Clarence:" "What the heck?" " Oh, yeah, yeah." " Thank you. [gasps]" "Sumo:" "Hey, buddy, check it out!" " Everybody's using Clarence dollars!" " Clarence:" "Bu..." "But how?" "Sumo:" "I just started trading 'em for stuff and they caught on!" " Your dream came true buddy!" " Clarence:" "Oh, really?" "!" "Excellent job, sir." "No lips on the drinking fountain." "Keep it up, tiger." "Pick a winner for me." " Keep up the great work." " Thanks for your support!" "Nice shoes, Clarence." "Clarence:" "Thanks." "My mom picked 'em out." "Uh, I think they're nice, too!" "Yes!" "Hey, Dustin!" "You guys want to come over to my house after school today?" "I got the new "Spacemoles" game!" "Clarence:" "Hey, there, Belson!" "For bein' such a good Belson, here's your very own Clarence dollar, just for you." "Spend it wisely." "Come on, fellas." "[Grumbling]" "He threw away a Clarence dollar!" " Give me my money." " Clarence:" "That won't be necessary." " Who the heck are you?" " Clarence:" "Let's just say I'm your new mom." "Here's a Clarence dollar, son." "Unhand this fellow." "Now get out of here." "Uh, at the rate you're goin', we're gonna need to make... 50 more Clarence dollars by the end of the school day!" "Clarence:" "Time to up production." " Mm." "My hand hurts." " Clarence:" "Approved." "This is for your loss." "That dog should be caught and punished." "Clarence, you need to stop rewarding people for bad things, okay?" "Forgetting homework is bad." "He's getting a zero on that assignment." "Clarence:" "See, Mrs. Baker, that's the difference between me and you." "Clarence dollars are for everybody." "[Students gasp]" " Am I right, people?" " Sumo:" "Yeah, buddy stars stink!" "Okay." "Hey." "Easy." "Jeff:" "I think buddy stars are still relevant." ""Yeah." "Me too."" " Clarence:" "Here you go, everyone." " Clarence dollars are the best!" "Clarence:" "Bye, guys." "See you tomorrow." "Stay out of trouble, you knuckleheads." "Jeff:" "Clarence, you have to stop all this Clarence dollar nonsense." "Clarence:" "Sorry, Jeff." "Money talks." "Jeff:" "What does that even mean?" "Clarence: "It means I'm not going anywhere." "Clarence dollars are here to stay."" "That's right, dollar Clarence." "You know what?" "You're pretty handsome, if I do say so myself." ""You're not too shabby yourself, regular Clarence."" " Oh, you're just sayin' that." " Jeff:" "I give up." "Clarence:" "What the heck are Jeff and Mrs. Baker so worried about?" "Clarence dollars are so good." "Everybody loves 'em." "Mwah!" "How could you do anything wrong?" "[Echoing] Wrong...wrong... ♪ diddly-dong dong anything wrong ♪" "Ah, nothing like goin' for a morning swim... especially when it's your own dollars." "[Squeaking] [coughs]" "Whoa!" "Clarence!" "Clarence:" "A money monster?" "Aaah!" "[Roars]" "Clarence: [gasps, panting]" "Huh?" "Uh-oh." "Belson?" "Hmm." "I think I'll get a cheesecake stick." "Clarence:" "No, no." "Noooooo!" "Clarence: [gasping]" "Oh." "Oh." "I had such a terrible fright." "A monster made of money ..." "whatever could it mean?" "Mom:" "Shouldn't have eaten all those turkish delights before bed." "Clarence:" "You're not my mom!" "Aaaaaah!" "[Gasps, panting]" "Oh, my gosh." "Is this real life?" "[Toilet flushes]" "[Yawning]" "Clarence:" "Yep, this is the real one."

" Clarence, please, show some humanity." " You got to stop this." " Clarence:" "I know." "It's become more powerful than I ever imagined." "And now I'll have to destroy my own creation." "Jeff, get some gasoline." "We're gonna burn these dollars to the ground." "Jeff:" "I don't think that's gonna solve anything." "We need to flood the market with them." "Clarence:" "Exactly." "We'll flood the school." "Jeff:" "No, no, no." "I mean make so many Clarence dollars that no one will use them anymore." " Like Soviet money." " Clarence:" "Interesting." "So... then we flood the school?" "Jeff:" "No." "No, that never happens." "Hey, what're you kids do..." "Don't touch any of that ..." "[Music]" "[Kids shouting]" "Clarence:" "All right, come and get 'em." "Take as many as you want." "[Kids gasp]" " Thank you." " I've got them!" "They're mine!" "They're all mine!" "[Laughing]" "I've got so much!" "But so does everybody else." "Well, what are we gonna trade now?" "Uh, do you want mine?" "I have too many now." " Yeah, I know, really." " What?" "Jeff:" "There we go." "Crisis averted." "Now we can go back to the good old buddy-star system." "Hey, everyone!" "I just got this new thing from my uncle in California." "All:" "Whoa!"

"There's not even a real dog there." " Jeff:" "Right." " Clarence:" "Well, it was a nice dream." "I guess it takes more to change the world than just printer paper with my face on it. [Panting]" "I finally got it." " Belson bucks." " Clarence:" "Sorry, Belson." "Everyone's into tappy cards now." ""Gotta buy 'em all."" "What's up, cool guy?" "Sumo:" "Want a freezy pop?" "I traded in all my Clarence dollars for 'em right before the crash." "They're kind of melty." "Jeff:" "Who in the world would want that many Clarence dollars?" "[laughter] synccorrectionbyf1nc0"
