25. "'Please help me, I
used to be a prince,
Copy !req
26. "'but I was turned
into a frog.'"
Copy !req

wicked fairy, I bet!

him, I'd kiss him.
Copy !req

but the princess liked him.
Copy !req

Copy !req
37. "So, she kissed the frog!
Copy !req
38. "And..."
Copy !req
39. - Yeah, and?

50. - (laughs) "And they
lived happily ever after."
Copy !req
51. - That's right.
Copy !req
52. Look, it says it.
Copy !req
53. "And they became friends and
lived happily ever after."
Copy !req
54. - Oh, thanks, Chris.
Copy !req
55. - You're welcome, Abby.
Copy !req
56. Hey, listen, you better
take your trash to Oscar.
Copy !req
57. - Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Copy !req
58. - See you later.
- All right.
Copy !req
59. Thanks a lot!
Copy !req
60. What a story.
Copy !req
61. I mean, a princess
kisses a frog,
Copy !req
62. and turns him back into
an enchanted prince.
Copy !req
63. (laughs) A frog of all people
is an enchanted prince.
Copy !req
64. (laughs) Well, I tell ya,
Copy !req
65. it just goes to show you,
Copy !req
66. you never know who is a prince.
Copy !req
67. - Never say "thank
you" to a grouch!
Copy !req
68. Never, never, never,
ever, ever, never!
Copy !req
69. - Y'know?
Copy !req
70. Someone on Sesame Street
could be a prince.
Copy !req
71. - I'm sorry?
Copy !req
72. - Don't give me "I'm
sorry," it's too late.
Copy !req
73. You already said "thank you".
Copy !req
74. - (sighs) I'm just gonna
quit while I'm ahead.
Copy !req
75. - Yeah, and take
a long hike, too.
Copy !req
76. - (gasps) It could be Oscar!
Copy !req
77. Oh, wow, he's green, just
like the frog in the story.
Copy !req
78. - And I reject your
trash, too (sighs).
Copy !req
79. - (gasps) Wow.
Copy !req
80. And no one could
really be that grouchy.
Copy !req
81. (gasps) Unless he was a prince
who was turned into a grouch!
Copy !req
82. Once upon a time, in a story,
Copy !req
83. handsome Prince Oscar lived
in a golden trash can,
Copy !req
84. and people brought
him the finest trash,
Copy !req
85. worn out gold, and jewels.
Copy !req
86. And he was nice.
Copy !req
87. - Your Highness!
Copy !req
88. - Oh, my Highness
says thank you.
Copy !req
89. Y'know, you're not so
low yourself (laughs).
Copy !req
90. - Oh, Prince, there
you are, my offering.
Copy !req
91. Thank you.
- Oh, thank you,
Copy !req
92. beautiful peasant girl.
Copy !req
93. - No, thank you, thank you.
- Thank you, thank you.
Copy !req
94. 'Preciate it, it's lovely trash.
Copy !req
95. (Eric mumbling)
- A fairy grouch mother
Copy !req
96. saw Prince Oscar being nice,
Copy !req
97. and she didn't like it.
Copy !req
98. - Well, Eric, gives
my regards to Mary.
Copy !req
99. (Eric laughing)
Have a nice day!
Copy !req
100. And hurry back.
Copy !req
101. La dee da.
(fairy grouch mother growling)
Copy !req
102. - Yuck!
Copy !req
103. He's saying "thank you" and
"please" and "la dee da" (sobs).
Copy !req
104. This has got to stop.
Copy !req
105. (wand whirring)
- And she waved
Copy !req
106. her wand and turned
him into a grouch.
Copy !req
107. - I have brought you
more trash, Prince Oscar.
Copy !req
108. - No, Oscar.
Copy !req
109. A grouch formerly
known as "Prince".
Copy !req
110. What kinda trash is this?
Copy !req
111. Ah, beautiful jewels, pearls,
Copy !req
112. pearls, beautiful pearls,
what can I do with these?
Copy !req
113. I'm a grouch!
Copy !req
114. I know, my pig will love them.
Copy !req
115. - Pig?
- Here, piggy, piggy.
Copy !req
116. (pig squealing)
- Oh, dear.
Copy !req
117. - Pearls before swine (laughs).
Copy !req
118. Ah, yes (laughs).
Copy !req
119. (chimes twinkling)
- So, just like in the story,
Copy !req
120. Oscar is a grouch until
someone kisses him
Copy !req
121. and turns him into
a prince (laughs).
Copy !req
122. And guess who's gonna kiss him?
Copy !req
123. Me (laughs)!
Copy !req
124. Oh, Oscar!
Copy !req
125. Oh, Oscar, Oscar, Oscar, Oscar!
Copy !req
126. Oscar?
Copy !req
127. - What do you want, Wand Face?
Copy !req
128. - I, I want to kiss you.
Copy !req
129. - No, no, no, no.
Copy !req
130. No, no, no, no, no.
Copy !req
131. Cease, desist,
never kiss a grouch.
Copy !req
132. - But, but you're not a grouch.
Copy !req
133. You're a prince.
Copy !req
134. - Don't call me that.
Copy !req
135. I'm a grouch.
- Prince!
Copy !req
136. - A grouch!
- Prince!
Copy !req
137. - Grouch!
- Prince!
Copy !req
138. - Grouch, grouch, grouch!
Copy !req
139. - Until I kiss you (laughs).
Copy !req
140. Prince.
Copy !req
141. - Hey, hey, no fair flying.
Copy !req
142. No fair flying!
Copy !req
143. - Oh, boy!
Copy !req
144. - Didn't lay a lip
on me (laughs).
Copy !req
145. Now, buzz away, Fairy Wings.
Copy !req
146. - Oh, but Oscar, I'm just
trying to help you, to kiss you,
Copy !req
147. and to turn you
back into a prince.
Copy !req
148. - But I'm a grouch (laughs).
Copy !req
149. - Oh, golly.
Copy !req
150. (grumbles) He went down again.
Copy !req
151. Oh, I can't kiss him.
Copy !req
152. Well, I'll just have to
wait until he comes back.
Copy !req
153. What is that?
Copy !req
154. - A sign: No Kissing.
Copy !req
155. - What?
Copy !req
156. (gasps) He's up (laughs).
Copy !req
157. - Now hear this.
Copy !req
158. This is a no kissing zone.
Copy !req
159. All kissers leave immediately.
Copy !req
160. - (groans) Oh, he's down.
Copy !req
161. (gasps) Oh, he's up!
Copy !req
162. - To say I'm going down.
Copy !req
163. Forever!
Copy !req
164. (laughs) I'll be ordering
in from Szechuan Grouch.
Copy !req
165. Goodbye.
Copy !req
166. - (whimpers) Oh, dear, if
he stays down there forever,
Copy !req
167. I'll never be able to kiss him!
Copy !req
168. (gasps) Unless I
go down there, too.
Copy !req
169. (wand twinkling)
Eelia kazoo, eelia kazan,
Copy !req
170. into the top of Oscar's can!
Copy !req
171. Going down!
Copy !req
172. - She can't
kiss me down here.
Copy !req
173. - Hi, Oscar!
Copy !req
174. - It's Abby,
oh, she's gonna kiss me.
Copy !req
175. Missed me (laughs).
Copy !req
176. You kissed my Billy
goat, Lassie (laughs).
Copy !req
177. - Oscar!
Copy !req
178. - (groans) She's
one persistent pixie.
Copy !req
179. - Where are you?
Copy !req
180. - (laughs) You
just kissed Spot, my pig.
Copy !req
181. (laughs) She never gives up.
Copy !req
182. She's kissing the piano.
Copy !req
183. She's kissing everything.
Copy !req
184. Oh, oh, no, I may be next.
Copy !req
185. Where's my trampoline?
Copy !req
186. - What are you doing?
Copy !req
187. - Leaving!
(goat bleating)
Copy !req
188. - Hey, Oscar.
Copy !req
189. - Oh, hey, you, you're
just the guy I wanna see.
Copy !req
190. You sell everything, Chris?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
191. - So you gotta give
me a disguise so Abby
won't know it's me
Copy !req
192. and she'll stop
tryin' to kiss me.
Copy !req
193. Kiss me!
Copy !req
194. She wants to kiss me and
turn me into a prince
Copy !req
195. like the frog in the story.
Copy !req
196. - (sighs) Where is Oscar?
Copy !req
197. - There.
- Hey,
Copy !req
198. you look terrible.
Copy !req
199. - Yeah, hey, thanks!
Copy !req
200. Look at this.
Copy !req
201. Now she'll never know it's me.
Copy !req
202. What a perfect disguise.
Copy !req
203. Then she'll leave me alone, too.
Copy !req
204. (magic sparkling)
It's her.
Copy !req
205. (Abby gasps)
Bond's the name, James Bond.
Copy !req
206. - (gasps) Oscar!
Copy !req
207. (Abby laughing)
- Oh, no!
Copy !req
208. She's knows it's me!
Copy !req
209. Chris, Chris, you gotta help me.
Copy !req
210. Protect me.
Copy !req
211. She wants to kiss me!
- It's for your own good!
Copy !req
212. I just am trying to make
you a prince again, Prince.
Copy !req
213. (Abby kissing)
- I'm not a prince!
Copy !req
214. - Are so.
Copy !req
215. - Am not.
- Are so.
Copy !req
216. - Am not!
- Are so!
Copy !req
217. - Time out, time out, time out!
Copy !req
218. Friends, I think I can fix this.
Copy !req
219. You say you're not a prince.
Copy !req
220. - I am not a prince.
Copy !req
221. - Okay, then let Abby kiss you.
Copy !req
222. - Kiss a grouch?
Copy !req
223. - Yeah, yeah, you see,
if she kisses you,
Copy !req
224. and you don't turn
into a prince,
Copy !req
225. she'll know it's not
like the frog story,
Copy !req
226. and she'll leave you alone.
Copy !req
227. Won't you, Abby?
Copy !req
228. - Well, all right.
Copy !req
229. If he doesn't turn into a
prince after I kiss him,
Copy !req
230. I'll leave him alone.
Copy !req
231. Oh, he'll turn into
a prince, all right.
Copy !req
232. - Oscar?
Copy !req
233. - Well, all right, just one,
teeny, tiny, short kiss.
Copy !req
234. (groans) I'd prefer a near miss.
Copy !req
235. - (laughs) Get
ready for the kiss.
Copy !req
236. - Oh, wait, wait, wait.
Copy !req
237. (sniffing breath) Okay.
Copy !req
238. - Okay, good?
Copy !req
239. Okay, ready, set—
Copy !req
240. - Wait, wait, wait!
Copy !req
241. You'd better stand back,
Copy !req
242. because when he
turns into a prince,
Copy !req
243. there's gonna be a loud bang
and probably a lot of smoke.
Copy !req
244. - Okay, I'll move back a little.
Copy !req
245. Ready?
Copy !req
246. Set—
- Oh, wait!
Copy !req
247. You better put your
fingers in your ears.
Copy !req
248. - Don't know why, but okay.
Copy !req
249. - Okay, yeah.
Copy !req
250. Oh, and you, too.
Copy !req
251. - Good, good?
Copy !req
252. Okay, ready,
Copy !req
253. set,
Copy !req
254. I wonder what'll happen.
Copy !req
255. - Keep it quick.
Copy !req
256. - Kiss!
Copy !req
257. (dramatic music)
- Yuck!
Copy !req
258. Hey, I'm still me.
Copy !req
259. I'm here, me, Oscar the Grouch!
Copy !req
260. No prince.
- (laughs) Well, Abby,
Copy !req
261. I guess he's not a
prince after all.
Copy !req
262. - Oh, boy, what a let down.
Copy !req
263. It was more fun when the
frog became a prince.
Copy !req
264. - Well, that was an enchanted
fairy tale frog, Abby.
Copy !req
265. One in a million.
Copy !req
266. Most frogs are just frogs.
Copy !req
267. - And if you kiss 'em?
Copy !req
268. - They stay frogs.
Copy !req
269. And they like it.
Copy !req
270. A frog is what they wanna be.
Copy !req
271. - Yeah, like I wanna
be a grouch (laughs).
Copy !req
272. - (laughs) Oh, Oscar, I don't
care if you're not a prince.
Copy !req
273. I love you,
Copy !req
274. just the way you are.
- No, no, don't get any ideas.
Copy !req
275. - Yes, I'm gonna get you!
- No, no, hey, no!
Copy !req
276. She's huggin' me!
Copy !req
277. Oh, some days you
can't make a nickel.
Copy !req
278. No, get away from me.
- Oh, c'mon,
Copy !req
279. just one more hug!
- Cease, desist!
Copy !req
280. I'm outta here!
- No, no, come back!
Copy !req
281. - Oh, c'mon, Oscar.
- You're so cute!
Copy !req
282. - See you guys!
Copy !req
283. - Hi, I'm Jack.
Copy !req
284. - Yeah, and Elmo's Elmo.
Copy !req
285. - And we're here to tell you
about the most awesome word
Copy !req
286. in the whole wide world.
Copy !req
287. - Oh, what's the word,
Mr. Jack, what's the word?
Copy !req
288. - Okay, the word is "disguise".
Copy !req
289. - Disguise?
- Disguise!
Copy !req
290. - Well, what's a disguise?
Copy !req
291. - Disguise is when you change
the way something looks
Copy !req
292. to make it hard to
tell what it is.
Copy !req
293. - Oh, a disguise (laughs)!
Copy !req
294. - Y'know what, Elmo?
- What?
Copy !req
295. - I happen to be a
master of disguise.
Copy !req
296. - No!
- Oh, yeah.
Copy !req
297. In fact, I can totally
disguise myself,
Copy !req
298. and you would never, ever,
ever even know it was me.
Copy !req
299. - No!
- Oh, yeah!
Copy !req
300. Check out my disguise
expertise in action.
Copy !req
301. - Oh, okay, let's see this.
(Jack zooming)
Copy !req
302. (Jack groaning)
Wow, nice hat and glasses,
Copy !req
303. Mr. Jack.
Copy !req
304. - What a minute.
- What?
Copy !req
305. - You knew it was me?
- Yes.
Copy !req
306. - (sighs) Then you saw
through my disguise!
Copy !req
307. - Well, Elmo guess so.
Copy !req
308. - Okay, all right.
Copy !req
309. I just have to dig
a little deeper
Copy !req
310. in my treasure
trove of disguises.
Copy !req
311. Excuse me!
- Oh, okay.
Copy !req
312. (Jack zooming)
Elmo will excuse you.
Copy !req
313. Mr. Jack, it's funny!
Copy !req
314. - What?
Copy !req
315. You knew it was me again?
Copy !req
316. - Yes (laughs)!
- But what about my disguise?
Copy !req
317. - Oh, sorry.
Copy !req
318. - (sighs) That's it, I'm done.
Copy !req
319. I guess my powers of disguise
are no longer potent.
Copy !req
320. I give up.
- Oh, but Mr. Jack,
Copy !req
321. where are you going?
(Jack zooming)
Copy !req
322. Oh, Mr. Chicken, have
you seen Mr. Jack Black?
Copy !req
323. - (exclaims) My disguise worked!
Copy !req
324. - Mr. Jack Black?
Copy !req
325. - That's right, it's me.
Copy !req
326. I totally disguised
myself as a chicken.
Copy !req
327. - Wow, nice disguise!
- Thank you.
Copy !req
328. Disguise!
Copy !req
329. Oh, I think I just laid an egg.
Copy !req
330. - Mr. Jack is good!
Copy !req
331. - Yes, I am.
(Elmo laughing)
Copy !req
332. - Eyes.
Copy !req
333. Nose.
Copy !req
334. Mouth.
Copy !req
335. Ears.
Copy !req
336. Hair.
Copy !req
337. Face.
Copy !req
338. Pretty as a picture.
Copy !req
339. - Ladies and canaries!
Copy !req
340. Here is Mr. Snuffleupagus
to show us the letter B,
Copy !req
341. the letter of the day!
Copy !req
342. Here's Snuffy!
Copy !req
343. - Thank you, thank you!
Copy !req
344. The letter B, which starts
my two favorite words:
Copy !req
345. Big and bird!
Copy !req
346. - Hey, nice B words.
Copy !req
347. Big and bird.
Copy !req
348. Wait, that's my name!
Copy !req
349. - That's why they are
my favorites, Bird.
Copy !req
350. (Snuffleupagus laughing)
- Aw, Snuff.
Copy !req
351. Hey, you're supposed to be
showing us the letter B, Snuff.
Copy !req
352. Where is it?
Copy !req
353. - It's on my back, Bird,
Copy !req
354. which also starts
with the letter B.
Copy !req
355. - Well, I see
back, and I see fur, Snuffy,
Copy !req
356. but I don't see the letter B.
Copy !req
357. - Ladies and gentlemen,
the letter B!
Copy !req
358. - Yeah, the letter B!
Copy !req
359. Yay!
- Surprise!
Copy !req
360. - Oh, you got me, Snuff!
Copy !req
361. - The letter B!
Copy !req
362. - That was great, Slimy, even
better than in rehearsal.
Copy !req
363. - B is for bubble.
Copy !req
364. - It was a day like
any other in Begonia Park.
Copy !req
365. Boring.
Copy !req
366. "I am so bored," said Bob.
Copy !req
367. "I got the blahs," said Barbara.
Copy !req
368. "Even the band's got
the blues," said Bubba.
Copy !req
369. (bus honking)
But just then,
Copy !req
370. a big blue bus bumped by,
Copy !req
371. and the big bus braked
to a bumpy stop,
Copy !req
372. and passerbys began to cry.
Copy !req
373. (people screaming)
"It's the bees!
Copy !req
374. "The bees, the big blue
bus is full of bees!
Copy !req
375. "It's bees, the bees, the big
blue bus is full of bees!"
Copy !req
376. Bees burst out the big blue
bus with blueberries and brie,
Copy !req
377. Balaklava and barbecue,
banana bread and broccoli.
Copy !req
378. The bees buzzed by
with buttered buns.
Copy !req
379. The boys in bunch.
Copy !req
380. They brought out
bowls of buttermilk.
Copy !req
381. The buzzing bees
had come for brunch.
Copy !req
382. "Bring more bread!"
Copy !req
383. "More baked beans!"
Copy !req
384. "Baloney!"
Copy !req
385. "Bon bons!"
Copy !req
386. "Butter creams!"
Copy !req
387. Begonia park was never better.
Copy !req
388. Everybody bright and beamin',
Copy !req
389. all because of
this little letter.
Copy !req
390. A little letter B.
Copy !req
391. (twangy rock music)
- And now,
Copy !req
392. the fabulous Keb Mo and his
friends from Sesame Street!
Copy !req
393. - Counselor
Agnes, Counselor Agnes!
Copy !req
394. - We were playing ring toss.
- And I was winning.
Copy !req
395. - I was winning, and
now we can't play.
Copy !req
396. - There's a kid
from outer space in our camp.
Copy !req
397. - Well, look at that.
Copy !req
398. Welcome to Camp Wacky Lake.
Copy !req
399. Do you wanna play ring
toss with Melba and Arnie?
Copy !req
400. - But Counselor Agnes!
Copy !req
401. - We don't
wanna play with him.
Copy !req
402. - And why not, my
little campers?
Copy !req
403. - He talks funny.
Copy !req
404. - He's green,
Copy !req
405. and has squiggly
eyes that come out
Copy !req
406. from the top of his head.
Copy !req
407. - And I'll
bet he doesn't even know
Copy !req
408. how to play ring toss.
Copy !req
409. - Well, let me tell
you something, campers.
Copy !req
410. Just suppose you went to
little Zork's summer camp,
Copy !req
411. or whatever they have there,
Copy !req
412. and you wanted to
play with his friends,
Copy !req
413. and they thought
you looked funny,
Copy !req
414. and they thought
you talked funny,
Copy !req
415. and you probably
wouldn't know how to play
Copy !req
416. whatever it is they play there.
Copy !req
417. Well, how would you feel,
my little wacky campers?
Copy !req
418. - It wouldn't feel good.
Copy !req
419. - I wouldn't like it.
Copy !req
420. - Okay?
- Okay.
Copy !req
421. - Okay.
Copy !req
422. - You wanna play ring toss?
Copy !req
423. - Oh, I want him on my team!
Copy !req
424. - Me, too!
Copy !req
425. - Ladies and sparrows,
Copy !req
426. Mr. Snuffleupagus
is about to show you
Copy !req
427. this number of the day, 17,
Copy !req
428. which he is wearing
to Snufflegarden.
Copy !req
429. So, here's Snuffy!
Copy !req
430. - (laughs) 17!
Copy !req
431. - Yeah, where?
Copy !req
432. - In the big white square, Bird.
Copy !req
433. - I, I don't see it.
Copy !req
434. - It's a one next to a seven.
Copy !req
435. 17, Birdie.
- Yes, yes,
Copy !req
436. like this one, see?
Copy !req
437. One next to seven.
Copy !req
438. But I still don't
see it, Snuffy.
Copy !req
439. - You still don't see it?
Copy !req
440. Oh, dear.
(stomping on the ground)
Copy !req
441. - Oh, dear, don't,
no, it's all right.
Copy !req
442. All right, Snuffy,
don't worry, old pal.
Copy !req
443. Calm down,
Copy !req
444. we'll just put our heads
together and figure it out.
Copy !req
445. - All right, Bird.
Copy !req
446. I've got an idea, Bird!
Copy !req
447. - What?
- Maybe, just maybe,
Copy !req
448. you are facing the wrong way.
Copy !req
449. - Hey, of course!
Copy !req
450. - Well?
Copy !req
451. - I still don't see it.
Copy !req
452. But, (dinging) aha!
Copy !req
453. Maybe you're facing
the wrong way.
Copy !req
454. Aha!
Copy !req
455. We've found your number 17!
Copy !req
456. Yay, there it is!
Copy !req
457. - We are the
Einstein twins, Bird.
Copy !req
458. - Yes, what a team we are.
Copy !req
459. The difficult things
we do right away.
Copy !req
460. - The impossible takes forever!
Copy !req
461. - The number 17!
Copy !req
462. - 17!
Copy !req
463. (easy plodding music)
- One.
Copy !req
464. Two.
Copy !req
465. Three.
Copy !req
466. Four.
Copy !req
467. Five.
Copy !req
468. Six.
Copy !req
469. Seven.
Copy !req
470. Eight.
Copy !req
471. Nine.
Copy !req
472. 10.
Copy !req
473. 11.
Copy !req
474. 12.
Copy !req
475. 13.
Copy !req
476. 14.
Copy !req
477. 15.
Copy !req
478. 16.
Copy !req
479. 17!
Copy !req
480. - Oh, hello there.
Copy !req
481. It is I, your cute and
furry traveling pal Grover,
Copy !req
482. friend to Globe
Trotters everywhere.
Copy !req
483. I just rolled this
bundle of reeds
Copy !req
484. all the way back from Germany,
Copy !req
485. and boy, am I caput!
Copy !req
486. (pants) But this is no
time for napping, no!
Copy !req
487. There is work to be done.
Copy !req
488. Yes, I must take these
nifty little reeds here,
Copy !req
489. and thatch a thatched
roof out of them
Copy !req
490. just like my German friend Paul.
Copy !req
491. What, you do not
believe I can do it?
Copy !req
492. Oh, I can do it.
Copy !req
493. Yes, and I am going to, too.
Copy !req
494. Right here, right now,
before your very eyes.
Copy !req
495. Well, maybe not
before your very eyes.
Copy !req
496. I will probably do it off
camera when you're not watching.
Copy !req
497. And in fact, I have a little
film I would like you to see.
Copy !req
498. Roll it, Sam!
Copy !req
499. Oh, Sam, I did
not see you there.
Copy !req
500. Wait, no, no, Sam!
Copy !req
501. I meant the film, roll the film!
Copy !req
502. (jaunty polka music)
- My name is Paul,
Copy !req
503. I live in Germany.
Copy !req
504. That's me with my dad and
my little brother Franz.
Copy !req
505. My dad is a roofer.
Copy !req
506. He works way up
high making roofs
Copy !req
507. for all kinds of buildings.
Copy !req
508. Today he is making
a special kind
Copy !req
509. of roof called a thatched roof.
Copy !req
510. It's made from reeds.
Copy !req
511. That's Hanning, he
works with my dad.
Copy !req
512. Hanning is showing
us how they use wire
Copy !req
513. to hold the reeds together.
Copy !req
514. First he puts the wire through
a hole in a very long needle.
Copy !req
515. The needle helps him push
the wire through the reeds.
Copy !req
516. Then he uses another needle
to pull the wire back through.
Copy !req
517. Then he ties a knot
to hold the reeds down
Copy !req
518. so the wind can't
blow them away.
Copy !req
519. During lunch break,
Copy !req
520. my dad helps Franz and me to
make a roof for our birdhouse.
Copy !req
521. Even birds need a roof to
keep them warm and dry.
Copy !req
522. Some of the reeds stick out.
Copy !req
523. My job is to pound them so
everything looks nice and even.
Copy !req
524. There, our birdhouse has
a beautiful new roof,
Copy !req
525. thanks to me, meinen bruder,
und meinen Papa, the roofer.
Copy !req
526. - Ta-da!
Copy !req
527. I did it!
Copy !req
528. My very own thatched roof.
Copy !req
529. Is it not beautiful?
Copy !req
530. It sure feels good to
have a roof over my head.
Copy !req
531. - Hey, you remind me of a
birdhouse I saw in Germany!
Copy !req
532. - Oh, why thank you, but you
see, I'm not really a bird—
Copy !req
533. - Hey, you guys,
come check it out!
Copy !req
534. - Ow, ow, oh, my foot!
Copy !req
535. Birdies, birdies, you
do not understand!
Copy !req
536. - Pretty, pretty,
pretty, pretty.
Copy !req
537. - Hi!
Copy !req
538. Welcome to Elmo's
world (laughs)!
Copy !req
539. Oh, Elmo's so happy to see you.
Copy !req
540. And so is Dorothy.
Copy !req
541. Say hello, Dorothy.
Copy !req
542. (laughs) Guess what Elmo's
thinking about today?
Copy !req
543. Did you guess yet?
Copy !req
544. Yes, that's it!
Copy !req
545. Elmo's thinking about skin.
Copy !req
546. You know, skin.
Copy !req
547. That looks like
fun, wait for Elmo.
Copy !req
548. Yeah.
Copy !req
549. See?
Copy !req
550. Elmo has skin.
Copy !req
551. It's right under his fur, yeah.
Copy !req
552. And sometimes,
Elmo's skin itches.
Copy !req
553. (sighs) There, better.
Copy !req
554. Oh, what's that, Dorothy?
Copy !req
555. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Copy !req
556. Dorothy wants to know,
Copy !req
557. what do you do when the
skin on your back itches?
Copy !req
558. Oh, good question, Dorothy.
Copy !req
559. Let's ask Mr. Noodle.
Copy !req
560. Mr. Noodle?
Copy !req
561. Hey, Shade, a
little help, please.
Copy !req
562. Thank you, Shade.
Copy !req
563. Oh, there you are, Mr. Noodle.
Copy !req
564. Hey, Mr. Noodle,
slap Elmo some skin.
Copy !req
565. Hey, hey, guess
what, Mr. Noodle?
Copy !req
566. Dorothy has a question for you.
Copy !req
567. Yeah, you.
Copy !req
568. What do you do when the
skin on your back itches,
Copy !req
569. Mr. Noodle?
Copy !req
570. - Yeah, what do you do?
Copy !req
571. - No, that's your head.
Copy !req
572. - On your back.
Copy !req
573. - Your back, you know.
Copy !req
574. - Mr. Noodle
has to itch his back.
Copy !req
575. On his back.
Copy !req
576. - Yeah, back there.
Copy !req
577. - Mr. Noodle
can't reach his back.
Copy !req
578. - You can't reach
your back like that.
Copy !req
579. Be careful, Mr. Noodle.
Copy !req
580. - Now he's dizzy.
Copy !req
581. - See, now
he's itchy and dizzy.
Copy !req
582. - Don't give up.
Copy !req
583. He needs something.
Copy !req
584. - Maybe there's
something you can use
Copy !req
585. to scratch your
back, Mr. Noodle.
Copy !req
586. - He's on the floor.
Copy !req
587. - He's scratching
his back on the floor.
Copy !req
588. Look at him go!
Copy !req
589. I don't think it's working.
Copy !req
590. - You need help.
Copy !req
591. - Get somebody
to help you.
Copy !req
592. - Elmo can help you.
- Yeah!
Copy !req
593. Elmo will scratch
Mr. Noodle's back.
Copy !req
594. Okay, yeah, turn around, okay.
Copy !req
595. How's that, right there?
Copy !req
596. - That's it.
Copy !req
597. - Right between
the shoulder blades?
Copy !req
598. - Right there.
Copy !req
599. - Aww.
- Yay, Mr. Noodle!
Copy !req
600. - Oh, yay!
Copy !req
601. Elmo helped Mr. Noodle!
Copy !req
602. Elmo helped Mr. Noodle, and
Elmo scratched his back.
Copy !req
603. Oh, hug?
Copy !req
604. Okay (laughs).
Copy !req
605. - He's
scratching Elmo's back.
Copy !req
606. - Mr. Noodle (laughs).
Copy !req
607. - Wait, now what?
Copy !req
608. - Mr. Noodle.
Copy !req
609. - (laughs) Poor itchy,
itchy Mr. Noodle.
Copy !req
610. What's that, Dorothy?
Copy !req
611. Oh, okay.
Copy !req
612. Dorothy wants to
ask someone else.
Copy !req
613. What do you do when the
skin on your back itches?
Copy !req
614. - Dorothy, when my back
itches, I scratch it with this:
Copy !req
615. a back scratcher.
Copy !req
616. - When the skin
on my back itches,
Copy !req
617. I like to rub it against a
tree, Dorothy, like this.
Copy !req
618. That feels good.
Copy !req
619. - Dorothy, when Annie and
I both have itchy backs,
Copy !req
620. we take turns scratching
each other's back.
Copy !req
621. - You scratch my back,
Copy !req
622. and I scratch yours.
Copy !req
623. - Thanks, everybody.
Copy !req
624. Oh, and thank you, too, Dorothy.
Copy !req
625. Now, Elmo will ask a baby.
Copy !req
626. Oh, hello, baby.
Copy !req
627. Baby, what do you do when
the skin on your back itches?
Copy !req
628. Oh, thank you, baby.
Copy !req
629. Kiss, kiss, kiss,
kiss, kiss, kiss.
Copy !req
630. Aw, that baby was so cute.
Copy !req
631. And now, Elmo has
a question for you.
Copy !req
632. Yeah, you.
Copy !req
633. How many goosebumps are on
this chilly hippo's skin?
Copy !req
634. Let's count them and find out.
Copy !req
635. (goosebumps popping)
One,
Copy !req
636. two,
Copy !req
637. three,
Copy !req
638. four,
Copy !req
639. five,
Copy !req
640. six,
Copy !req
641. seven,
Copy !req
642. eight,
Copy !req
643. nine.
Copy !req
644. Nine goosebumps.
Copy !req
645. Oh, and one chilly goose.
Copy !req
646. (laughs) That
tickles Elmo's skin.
Copy !req
647. Boy, you silly,
chilly goose (laughs).
Copy !req
648. Bye, goose, bye, hippo.
Copy !req
649. (hums) That makes Elmo wonder.
Copy !req
650. What else tickles your skin?
Copy !req
651. Let's find out.
Copy !req
652. Oh, Drawer?
Copy !req
653. Open up, Drawer, please.
Copy !req
654. Maybe Elmo can tickle
Drawer to open.
Copy !req
655. Is Drawer ticklish?
Copy !req
656. Tickle, tickle,
tickle, tickle, tickle.
Copy !req
657. Can a cupcake tickle your skin?
Copy !req
658. - No.
Copy !req
659. - But it can
make your skin messy.
Copy !req
660. Yum, yum!
Copy !req
661. Can a ladybug tickle your skin?
Copy !req
662. - Yes, it tickles
when it crawls on your skin.
Copy !req
663. - That's right.
Copy !req
664. Can a feather tickle your skin?
Copy !req
665. - Yes, feathers
tickle your skin.
Copy !req
666. - Unless you're a bird.
Copy !req
667. - My skin is covered
with feathers,
Copy !req
668. and they don't tickle me at all.
Copy !req
669. They just need to be
fluffed now and then.
Copy !req
670. Fluff, fluff.
Copy !req
671. Fluff, fluff,
fluff, fluff, fluff.
Copy !req
672. - Thanks, Drawer.
Copy !req
673. And now—
- Elmo has mail.
Copy !req
674. - Oh, Elmo has email, yay!
Copy !req
675. Oh, Computer, come back here.
- Elmo has mail,
Copy !req
676. Elmo has mail, Elmo has mail,
Copy !req
677. Elmo has mail—
- Computer, stop!
Copy !req
678. Elmo has mail, Elmo has mail.
Copy !req
679. (Computer beeping)
- Thank you.
Copy !req
680. Oh, it's Elmo's friend, Ernie!
Copy !req
681. - Hi there, Elmo.
Copy !req
682. Hey Elmo, did you know that
your skin helps you feel things?
Copy !req
683. Well, that's why I'm
wearing this blind fold.
Copy !req
684. You see,
Copy !req
685. I'm going to feel something
with the skin on my hands,
Copy !req
686. and then I'm going
to guess what that is
Copy !req
687. without even looking.
Copy !req
688. Now watch this.
Copy !req
689. Lemme see.
Copy !req
690. Oh, wait a second,
there's something now.
Copy !req
691. Gee, I wonder what
this could be?
Copy !req
692. - Ernie!
- No, no, no, don't tell me,
Copy !req
693. Bert, don't tell me.
Copy !req
694. (Bert sighing)
This feels kinda soft
Copy !req
695. and fluffy like,
Copy !req
696. and it's sticking straight
up like a shaggy rug.
Copy !req
697. - (scoffs) No, Ernie,
Copy !req
698. you're touching—
- No, no, no,
Copy !req
699. don't tell me, Bert, don't
tell me, I wanna guess this.
Copy !req
700. Now, let's see, moving down.
Copy !req
701. Oh, wait, wait, there's more.
Copy !req
702. There's so much
more, look at this.
Copy !req
703. And this kinda feels
roundish, and it's sorta,
Copy !req
704. sorta squishy like, and
it's like a bath sponge.
Copy !req
705. Yes, yes!
- I don't believe this.
Copy !req
706. - Let's see, moving on down.
Copy !req
707. Oh, wait, this is
interesting, look at this.
Copy !req
708. And this part's kinda smooth,
and it feels sorta thin,
Copy !req
709. and...
(Bert's arm flapping)
Copy !req
710. Wow, it's floppy, it's
floppy like a garden hose!
Copy !req
711. (Bert sighing)
Gee, that's interesting.
Copy !req
712. Wait a second.
Copy !req
713. Lemme see here.
(Bert exclaiming)
Copy !req
714. Now, wait a minute,
Copy !req
715. this right here is sorta
fluffy and shaggy like a rug,
Copy !req
716. and this is sorta
squishy, sorta squishy
Copy !req
717. like a bath sponge—
- Ernie!
Copy !req
718. - And it's kinda floppy
like a garden hose.
Copy !req
719. I know what this is.
Copy !req
720. This is Bert!
(Bert exclaiming)
Copy !req
721. It's you, Bert!
Copy !req
722. Is it?
Copy !req
723. Bert, Bert?
- Yes, it's me, Ernie!
Copy !req
724. Who do you think it is?
Copy !req
725. - Oh, I knew it,
Bert, I could tell,
Copy !req
726. because I could tell by
feeling with my skin.
Copy !req
727. Isn't that amazing, Bert?
Copy !req
728. Isn't that amazing?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, great.
Copy !req
729. Whatever.
Copy !req
730. I'm gonna go read
in the bathroom.
Copy !req
731. - So long, Elmo!
Copy !req
732. Hey, Bert, I didn't even
know you wore a rug.
Copy !req
733. Bert?
Copy !req
734. Oh, Bert?
(Elmo laughing)
Copy !req
735. - Thanks, Computer!
Copy !req
736. Boy, Elmo loves
finding out about skin.
Copy !req
737. Elmo's friend Elaine learned
all about skin in school,
Copy !req
738. and she told Elmo all about it.
Copy !req
739. - One day at school,
my teacher, Mrs. Michaelson,
Copy !req
740. asked our class what we could
learn by looking at our skin.
Copy !req
741. So we started to investigate.
Copy !req
742. We could see that everybody's
skin looked different.
Copy !req
743. There was dark skin, light skin,
Copy !req
744. and all different
shades in between.
Copy !req
745. My skin was dark,
Copy !req
746. and Cassie had light
skin with rosy cheeks.
Copy !req
747. Then we looked at our skin
through a magnifying glass.
Copy !req
748. It makes things look bigger.
Copy !req
749. We can see all sorts of things
we never noticed before.
Copy !req
750. There is hair growing
out of our skin.
Copy !req
751. And the front of our
arms had more hair
Copy !req
752. than the back of our arms.
Copy !req
753. But the palms of our hands
didn't have any hair at all,
Copy !req
754. but they had lots of lines.
Copy !req
755. So did the tips of our fingers.
Copy !req
756. Some parts of our skin were
smooth, like our cheeks.
Copy !req
757. Some parts were real
wrinkly, like our knuckles,
Copy !req
758. and elbows.
Copy !req
759. (water rushing)
Then we ran some water
Copy !req
760. on our arms to see what
our skin looked like
Copy !req
761. when it was wet.
Copy !req
762. The water didn't soak in,
it just rolled right off.
Copy !req
763. We could see how our
skin protects our bodies.
Copy !req
764. So even though everybody's
skin looked different up close,
Copy !req
765. our skin wasn't really
very different at all.
Copy !req
766. - Wow, Elaine learned
a lot about skin.
Copy !req
767. But Elmo still wants
to find out more.
Copy !req
768. Don't you?
Copy !req
769. How can we find out even more?
Copy !req
770. Boy, Elmo almost jumped
out of his skin, T.V.!
Copy !req
771. Good idea.
Copy !req
772. We can watch the "All About
Skin" channel on T.V..
Copy !req
773. Now, turn yourself on, T.V..
Copy !req
774. - Welcome to the "All
About Skin" channel.
Copy !req
775. When it comes to skin,
we've got you covered.
Copy !req
776. And now the story of the
girl who loved her skin.
Copy !req
777. - Once upon a time,
Copy !req
778. there was a girl
who loved her skin.
Copy !req
779. - I love my skin.
Copy !req
780. - She
loved it so much
Copy !req
781. that she took very
good care of it.
Copy !req
782. When her skin got
dirty, she washed it.
Copy !req
783. - Scrub-a-dub-dub!
Copy !req
784. - When her
skin was out in the sun,
Copy !req
785. she put sunscreen
on to protect it.
Copy !req
786. - Rub-a-rub-rub!
Copy !req
787. (festive music)
Huh?
Copy !req
788. (teeth chattering)
- When her skin
Copy !req
789. was cold, it got goosebumps,
Copy !req
790. so she put on more
clothes to warm her skin.
Copy !req
791. And when her skin got hot, it
sweated to help cool her off.
Copy !req
792. When she went roller skating,
Copy !req
793. she protected her skin
with special padding,
Copy !req
794. but one day she fell down,
and hurt her skin anyway.
Copy !req
795. - Oh, no, I got a boo
boo on my skin (crying).
Copy !req
796. - The girl's
mother loved her skin, too,
Copy !req
797. and knew just what to do.
Copy !req
798. She washed the boo boo,
put ointment on it,
Copy !req
799. and covered it up with a
bandage to keep it clean.
Copy !req
800. (kisses)
- Thanks, Mom.
Copy !req
801. My skin feels better already.
Copy !req
802. - And every day,
the girl's skin felt better,
Copy !req
803. and better, until one
day the boo boo was gone.
Copy !req
804. Her skin had healed itself.
Copy !req
805. - Wow, now I really,
really love my skin.
Copy !req
806. - And from then on,
the girl who loved her skin—
Copy !req
807. - Really, really loved!
Copy !req
808. - The girl who
really, really loved her skin,
Copy !req
809. took really, really
good care of it.
Copy !req
810. Especially when roller skating.
Copy !req
811. - Hey, you gotta love
the skin you're in.
Copy !req
812. I'm okay, and so is my skin.
Copy !req
813. (jaunty music)
- The end.
Copy !req
814. - Coming up next on the
"All About Skin" channel,
Copy !req
815. "That's Skin-credible"
followed by "Skinny the Pooh"
Copy !req
816. and "Rumpelstiltskin".
Copy !req
817. - Thanks, T.V.!
Copy !req
818. Wow, skin is amazing.
Copy !req
819. But Elmo still wants to
learn even more about skin.
Copy !req
820. Don't you?
Copy !req
821. How can we find out even more?
Copy !req
822. - Why don't you look in a book?
Copy !req
823. - Hey, yeah!
Copy !req
824. Oh, can Book help Elmo
find out more about skin?
Copy !req
825. - Sure, I'll give you
the skinny on skin.
Copy !req
826. My title is, "Even
Animals Have Skin".
Copy !req
827. - Whoa, they do?
Copy !req
828. - Sure.
Copy !req
829. - Oh, oh look!
Copy !req
830. There's a puppy and a kitten.
Copy !req
831. - Like my title says,
"Even Animals Have Skin".
Copy !req
832. Sometimes you can't see the skin
Copy !req
833. because it's covered by fur.
Copy !req
834. - Oh, like Elmo.
Copy !req
835. - Or by feathers.
- Oh, pretty.
Copy !req
836. - Hey, come back here!
Copy !req
837. I just lost my pictures.
Copy !req
838. - Well, not that one.
Copy !req
839. Is that a snake?
Copy !req
840. - Yeah, as snakes grow,
they shed their skin,
Copy !req
841. and have new skin underneath.
Copy !req
842. - Oh, cool!
- No, not you, too!
Copy !req
843. I don't believe this.
Copy !req
844. - Oh, what's that?
Copy !req
845. - A chameleon.
Copy !req
846. Chameleons have skin
that can change color.
Copy !req
847. - Get out of town.
Copy !req
848. - Don't give him any ideas.
Copy !req
849. - Look!
Copy !req
850. Dorothy's imagining
Elmo as a chameleon.
Copy !req
851. - Sometimes a
chameleon's skin changes color
Copy !req
852. when its feelings change.
Copy !req
853. - Oh, boy, no one's
around to play with.
Copy !req
854. Elmo chameleon is feeling
a little sad and blue.
Copy !req
855. - Surprise!
(Elmo twinkling)
Copy !req
856. (both laughing)
- Wow!
Copy !req
857. Elmo chameleon is polka
dotted with surprise.
Copy !req
858. - Yeah!
Copy !req
859. - Boy, those leaves tickle.
Copy !req
860. Now Elmo chameleon
is tickled pink.
Copy !req
861. Thank you, Dorothy.
Copy !req
862. And thank you, too, Book.
Copy !req
863. - Don't mention it (laughs).
Copy !req
864. (piano keys jangling)
No, come back!
Copy !req
865. (groans) Oh, that really
gets under my skin.
Copy !req
866. - (laughs) Boy, Elmo loves skin.
Copy !req
867. And so does Dorothy.
Copy !req
868. That's why Dorothy wants
us to sing the skin song.
Copy !req
869. - Oh, boy, the skin song!
Copy !req
870. (piano tinkling)
May I join in?
Copy !req
871. - Sure, you can sing
too, if you want.
Copy !req
872. (jaunty music)
Say goodbye, Dorothy.
Copy !req
873. Say goodbye, Book.
Copy !req
874. - Goodbye, Book.
Copy !req
875. - Bye, bye!
Copy !req
876. - Do you know
"Rainbow Connection"?
Copy !req
877. - Okay, Slimerino, I'm gonna
read you a grouch fairy tale.
Copy !req
878. (Slimy cheering)
"The Worm Prince".
Copy !req
879. So.
(Abby laughing)
Copy !req
880. - Hey, Oscar.
Copy !req
881. I love stories, could
you read it to me, too?
Copy !req
882. - No way, I'm reading
this to my pet worm Slimy.
Copy !req
883. (Slimy cheering)
- Aw, gee.
Copy !req
884. - Well, of course, if
you stay here and listen,
Copy !req
885. I can't stop you.
Copy !req
886. Ready, Slimy?
- Yeah, ready!
Copy !req
887. - Okay, here we go.
Copy !req
888. "Once upon a time."
- Once upon a time.
Copy !req
889. - "Once upon a time,
Copy !req
890. "there was a handsome worm
who turned into a prince."
Copy !req
891. Too bad.
Copy !req
892. - "Sesame Street"
was brought to you today
Copy !req
893. by the letter B,
Copy !req
894. and by the number 17.
Copy !req
895. - "He was really in a hole now.
Copy !req
896. "So he went searching
and searching."
Copy !req
