Sesame Street 39x4

1. - Hi, I'm Murray from Sesame Street,

2. and I'm looking for the word on the street.

3. What's the word on the street?

4. - Compliment.

5. - What does the word compliment mean?

6. - Compliment is when someone says something nice about you.

7. - I like your orange fur.

8. - Thanks, you have a very nice shirt on.

9. - Why, thank you, Murray.

10. - You're really smart.

11. - You're really cool.

12. - I really like your hat.

13. - Thank you.

14. - Keep listening for the word compliment

15. today on "Sesame Street."

16. - Compliment.

17. - That's the word on the street.

18. - What now?

19. Yay!

20. - Oh, hey, everybody, welcome to Sesame Street.

21. You guys are just in time.

22. I'm about to make a video with my camera

23. to send to my parents.

24. They live far away in India.

25. All right, here we go.

26. Hi Ma, hi Dad.

27. Say hi to my parents, yeah.

28. Now wave.

29. All right, now, I'm standing here on Sesame Street,

30. my new home.

31. It's an amazing place to live,

32. but I thought instead of just telling you about it,

33. that I'd show you.

34. This is the laundromat, where I work.

35. Let's see who's in here, hey, guys.

36. Everybody say hi to my mom and dad.

37. Say hi to my parents. - Hi.

38. - Hi. - Hi.

39. - Hi. - Hello.

40. - Hi.

41. - Thanks.

42. And right next door is Hooper's Store.

43. Now, there's always something going on at Hooper's.

44. Let's go inside and check it out.

45. - Oh, yum, yum, yum.

46. Are they ready to eat, Alan?

47. - Almost, Prairie, they just need to cool.

48. - You are going to love these, O.

49. Alan makes the very best oatmeal cookies.

50. - Oh?

51. - Hi, guys.

52. - Oh, hey, Leela

53. - Oh, is that a video camera?

54. - Why yes, it is.

55. I am making a video to send to my parents

56. so they can see all the amazing things

57. that happen on Sesame Street.

58. - Oh. - Oh, nice idea.

59. - Well, perhaps we could show them

60. my amazing friend here, the letter O.

61. It is the letter of the day, you know?

62. - Oh, ha ha!

63. - You know, I think that's a great idea.

64. My parents have never seen a talking letter before.

65. - Wait, wait, we need a visual aid,

66. something that begins with the letter O.

67. - Oh.

68. - All right, how about these?

69. - Perfect because O is the first letter in oatmeal cookies.

70. - Cookies?

71. - No, no, no, no, Cookie Monster.

72. No, no, no, please.

73. Oh, Cookie Monster.

74. - Cookie Monster, I just baked those.

75. - Me compliments to the chef.

76. Ah, num num.

77. - You ate our visual aid.

78. Oh, Alan, I don't suppose you have any more oatmeal cookies.

79. - In the back.

80. - Hey, in the meantime,

81. maybe I can tape you, Cookie Monster.

82. My parents won't believe there's a monster living here

83. who loves to eat—

84. - Cookie!

85. - What, where?

86. - There, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

87. Big, round, giant cookie.

88. - Uh-oh.

89. - Come to papa!

90. - No, no, no, no, Cookie Monster.

91. No, no, no, no.

92. - Oh, boy, oh, boy, cookie!

93. - Run, O, run like the wind.

94. - [O] Oh!

95. - Well, I guess I have to find something else

96. to tape for my parents.

97. - All right, here's a brand-new batch,

98. where did everybody go?

99. - Well, Mom and Dad, Hooper's was a little busy,

100. so I'm gonna find something else to show you,

101. but it's not gonna be a problem.

102. There's always tons of stuff going on on the street.

103. - A little bit further, a little bit further, ah.

104. - Hey, guys, whatcha doing?

105. - Oh, hi, Leela.

106. - Hola.

107. We were just setting up Jack's candlestick.

108. - Yeah, yeah, so Jack will jump over it.

109. - Jack, Jack who?

110. - Hi, how you doing?

111. Jack Be Nimble is the name, jumping is my game.

112. Ooh, good, I see you got the candlestick set up.

113. Who's got the book?

114. - There it is.

115. - I do.

116. - Great, so you know how this works.

117. You read the nursery rhyme, I jump.

118. Boom, done, nimble, and quick, that's how I roll.

119. - Oh, wow, this is great.

120. This is just the kind of thing

121. that happens all the time on Sesame Street.

122. Jack, would you mind if I videotaped this?

123. - Sure, but let's make this quick.

124. I got a very popular nursery rhyme here,

125. people reading all the time.

126. I got other places to go, candles to jump.

127. - Okay, let's read.

128. - And I'm gonna tape it.

129. Gosh, my parents are not gonna believe this

130. when they see the real Jack Be Nimble.

131. - Okay, go ahead, Elmo.

132. - Oh, but Elmo doesn't know how to read.

133. - You don't?

134. Well, neither do I.

135. - Uh-oh.

136. - Hey, I don't jump if you don't read the book.

137. It's in the contract.

138. You got to read the fine print, sorry, kids.

139. - Wait, wait, wait, wait, come back here.

140. We'll get somebody to read it.

141. We just need a grownup.

142. - Oh, yeah, a grownup.

143. Hey, Leela, would you read the nursery rhyme to us?

144. - Oh, but I was gonna tape it.

145. - Oh, come on, please?

146. Por favor, por favor? - Please, please, please!

147. - Por favor, por favor!

148. - Maybe I can read the nursery rhyme first

149. and then try to tape a little after.

150. - Yay!

151. - Let's do this thing!

152. - Jack, be nimble.

153. - I'm nimble, I'm nimble, check it out.

154. I'm nimble, I'm nimble, I'm nimble.

155. - Jack, be quick.

156. - Look at me, I'm quick, can you catch me?

157. No, you can't because I'm so quick.

158. - He's quick.

159. - Jack, jump over the candlestick.

160. - Hang tight, got to get a running start.

161. - Oh boy, oh boy, this is the best part.

162. - Oh, maybe I can get some of this on video.

163. - Hup hup hup, yah!

164. - Oh, no, is Leela okay?

165. - Yeah, I'm fine, but I didn't get anything on tape.

166. Jack, could you jump one more time, please?

167. - No can do.

168. I got another jump scheduled across town, see you.

169. - But wait, wait, Jack, wait, wait, wait.

170. You forgot your candlestick.

171. - And your book, oh, come back, Jack.

172. - But it'll only take a minute.

173. - I'm gonna help Rosita.

174. - Okay, not a problem.

175. There's got to be something else going on

176. that I can tape for my parents.

177. - Okay, get in your places, Birdketeers.

178. - Big Bird.

179. - Okay, Birdketeers, are you ready to sing the alphabet

180. the Birdketeer way?

181. - Yeah!

182. - Okay.

183. Flap those wings, Birdketeers, and you can flap too.

184. Keep flapping and sing.

185. - That was great.

186. Hey, would you guys mind doing that one more time?

187. I'd love to tape you to show my parents.

188. - Why, we'd love to, Leela, right, Birdketeers?

189. - Yeah.

190. - Okay. - This is great.

191. Nothing says Sesame Street

192. like an eight-foot bird singing the alphabet.

193. Ready?

194. - Ready, sing, flap those wings, here we go.

195. - Uh-oh, meeting's over.

196. - What?

197. I didn't get to tape the whole thing.

198. This will just take a second.

199. - Oh, sorry, Leela, but you know the Birdketeer rule,

200. when the cuckoo coos, the meeting's over.

201. Oh, come on, kids, we gotta go.

202. - But it just.

203. - Sorry. - Bye.

204. I don't believe this.

205. I can't seem to tape anything today.

206. Wish I could find something, anything to show my parents.

207. - You know, I could probably help you out there.

208. - Oscar, you want to help me?

209. But you're a Grouch.

210. - I know, but I bet your parents

211. have never seen a Grouch before, huh?

212. - Hey, you know, you're right.

213. They would love to see this.

214. A Grouch who lives in a trash can?

215. It's perfect.

216. - Okay, then get your little camera ready there

217. 'cause I'm only gonna do this one time, Leela.

218. - Okay, I'm gonna give you a countdown, all right?

219. - Okay.

220. - Three, two, one, action.

221. Oscar, Oscar, you can come out now.

222. Oscar, come on out.

223. All I'm taping is a trash can, and this is not very—

224. Oh, I see.

225. It was a trick.

226. Thanks a lot, Oscar.

227. Maybe videotaping wasn't such a great idea, after all.

228. I should just write my parents a letter.

229. That's too bad.

230. I really wanted them to see how amazing this street is.

231. Oh, well.

232. - Oh, hey, there she is.

233. - Oh, there she is, come on, Leela!

234. Leela!

235. - Leela! - Leela!

236. - Leela!

237. - Leela, Leela! - Leela!

238. - What are you doing?

239. - We're looking for you.

240. - Yeah. - You are, why?

241. - Well, we know you really wanted to tape something

242. to show your parents.

243. - Yeah, that's why we're here, so you can tape us.

244. - Yeah, yeah.

245. - You mean it? - Yeah.

246. - Sure. - Absolutely.

247. That's what friends are for.

248. - Oh, thanks, you guys.

249. All right, let's do it.

250. - Right. - Yeah, yeah.

251. - Well, Mom and Dad, I wanted to show you

252. what an amazing place Sesame Street is,

253. so here's the most amazing part of all, my friends.

254. They're the real reason I love living here so much,

255. so say hi, everybody.

256. - Hi, hi! - Hi, Mom and Dad!

257. - Hi!

258. Cookie, O cookie!

259. - What?

260. Oh no, no, no!

261. No, Cookie Monster.

262. Escape, O.

263. - Well, Mom and Dad, that's Sesame Street.

264. It's a wonderful, friendly, crazy place,

265. and I'm so glad to be a part of it.

266. Hope you can visit soon.

267. - No, no, no!

268. - Cookie, cookie!

269. - Music to my ears, ha ha!

270. - Hi, everybody, I'm Heidi.

271. - Oh, and Elmo is Elmo.

272. - And we are here to tell you all about the word compliment.

273. - Ah, Miss Heidi said that very well.

274. - Oh, thank you very much, Elmo, and you know what?

275. - What?

276. - That was a compliment.

277. - It was?

278. - Oh, yes, a compliment is when you say something nice

279. about somebody or something.

280. - Oh, Elmo sees, ha ha ha!

281. - You know what, Elmo?

282. I think, let's give some more compliments.

283. - Okay, okay.

284. Elmo thinks Miss Heidi has a very, very nice voice.

285. - Oh, thank you very much.

286. That was a very nice compliment, and you know what?

287. I think that you have a beautiful, beautiful red fur.

288. - Aw, thanks for the compliment, ha ha!

289. Elmo thinks Miss Heidi is very pretty.

290. - Ooh, thank you very much.

291. That was a very, very nice compliment,

292. thank you, and you know what?

293. You have a beautiful green hat.

294. - All right, all right, all right.

295. - Elmo's shoe!

296. - I can't hold me tongue any longer.

297. Enough with the compliments, already.

298. - What an awesome boot.

299. - Whoa, did you hear that?

300. Heidi Klum thinks I'm awesome.

301. What a compliment, I'm walking on air here.

302. - Whoa.

303. - Compliments.

304. - Oh, hi.

305. I was just gonna go check to see if I got any mail today.

306. Oh boy, I love it when I get mail.

307. Let's see, oh, I see something.

308. I got a letter, it's the letter of the day.

309. - Ladies and gentlemen,

310. we got a special guest in the house tonight.

311. Give it up for the letter O.

312. The letter O is in the house tonight.

313. - Woo, ha ha ha!

314. - Check this out.

315. Oh, hello there.

316. Hey, look what I drew.

317. Yep, there he is, my great buddy Hero Guy,

318. and look, a wee, little kitten up in a tree.

319. Hey, Hero Guy, what's doing?

320. - What's doing?

321. You drew a picture of a kitten up in a tree.

322. - Yeah, so?

323. - So now, it wants to come down from the tree

324. and doesn't know how.

325. - Well, so help her down.

326. - But you drew it.

327. You're the artist.

328. - But you're the superhero.

329. - Good point, so let me get back into the picture

330. and solve this problem with the kitty.

331. - As well you should, Mr. Superhero Guy.

332. - Oh, oh, the poor, little kitty does want to come down.

333. - That's right, and I, Hero Guy,

334. just thought of a super way to solve this problem.

335. I will fly to the top of the tree

336. and carry the kitty down myself.

337. Watch.

338. Come on, come on, kitty.

339. Here, little kitty, kitty, kitty.

340. Hmm, she doesn't seem to want to go with me.

341. What's the matter?

342. - I don't know.

343. I guess she's not used to seeing people,

344. you know, like, fly around trees.

345. I think flying around like that scares her.

346. - Oh, but I'm a hero.

347. I'm supposed to save her, not scare her.

348. - That's true.

349. - I will not give up.

350. I will find a super way

351. to get this kitty out of the tree right now.

352. I know, I will turn myself into a trampoline.

353. Watch this, huh!

354. - Good work, Hero Guy.

355. Okay, kitty.

356. Okay, now come on, come on.

357. Jump onto the trampoline.

358. It's very bouncy.

359. Yeah, and you'll be able to bounce on it,

360. and then you'll come down.

361. I think she bounced a little too hard.

362. - As a Hero Guy, I have failed.

363. I tried to get the kitty out of the tree,

364. but I couldn't do it.

365. - No, no, no, come on, Hero Guy.

366. I drew you, so I know you can do it.

367. You know, you can't always

368. solve a problem right away, you know?

369. Sometimes it, sometimes it takes time, you know,

370. to find the right strategy, you know,

371. the right steps, yeah, to solve the problem.

372. - Steps, steps?

373. That's it!

374. Huh!

375. - Brilliant thinking, Hero Guy!

376. I knew you could do it.

377. Come on, little kitten, come on.

378. Walk down those heroic steps.

379. You did it!

380. - Give me paw.

381. - And so ends another brave yet true adventure

382. with Hero Guy.

383. What a hero, what a guy.

384. - Oh, that was so funny.

385. - Yeah.

386. - Hey, you know what?

387. - What?

388. - It's so fun hanging out with you guys.

389. - Aw. - Yeah.

390. Hey, remember when Abby first came to Sesame Street?

391. - Ay, si, yo recuerdo, I remember that.

392. - Oh, me too, I remember.

393. - Mm-hmm.

394. - That's true. - Uh-huh, yes.

395. - Oh, yes, I wanted to play.

396. - Let's play airplane.

397. - Yeah!

398. - Yeah!

399. - How about pretending that we're riding horses?

400. - Oh, good idea.

401. - I'll go this way. - Giddy up, horsey.

402. - Oh, oh, I got one.

403. Let's disappear.

404. - Abby, Abby? - Abby, Abby?

405. - Abby!

406. - Ha ha ha, just kidding.

407. - Yeah!

408. - Oh, you guys are wonderful.

409. - Oh boy, that was so good.

410. - Billy is my friend.

411. He has lots of friends.

412. Some of his friends are animals,

413. and some of those animals are dolphins.

414. - Stay with him, bill.

415. - Billy loves the dolphins.

416. - Good job, bill. - Good.

417. - And he gets to play with the dolphins.

418. - Don't laugh if he gets it.

419. Oh, he's ticklish, there he goes, look at that.

420. Ha ha ha!

421. That was good.

422. - Thank you. - Let's try again.

423. Go ahead, hold on.

424. - They take him for rides.

425. - See you later, pal, so long.

426. - Bye, Bill.

427. - They make him laugh.

428. - Get him, bill.

429. - He's happy when they're near him.

430. - Wow, good work.

431. Prefect, good job.

432. - Billy really loves the dolphins,

433. and they love him.

434. - Good girl, good girl, okay.

435. - Ah, greetings.

436. Count von Count here with today's lottery drawing.

437. Hmm, round and round it goes.

438. Where it stops, nobody knows.

439. Can you guess what the winning number is going to be?

440. Let us find out.

441. Aha.

442. Ah, today's number of the day is the number eight.

443. Ha ha!

444. Yes, did you guess it?

445. Congratulations to all the winners, ha ha ha!

446. - One, two, three, four

447. five, six, seven, eight.

448. Eight apples.

449. Eight!

450. - Whoa, horsey, I mean, elephant.

451. He is so picky, oh, hello there.

452. It is I, your favorite furry, blue world traveler Grover.

453. I just came back from exotic Queens, New York,

454. yes, where I visited a friend whose family comes from India.

455. All right, you may put me down now.

456. Oh, I meant gently.

457. I have no idea where this elephant came from.

458. I was trying to hail a taxi, and he showed up.

459. - Actually, I came from the Bronx,

460. but my grandmother is from India.

461. - Ah, well, then maybe you are acquainted

462. with this Indian board game

463. that my friend taught me to play.

464. It is called carrom.

465. - Oh boy, carrom!

466. I love carrom!

467. It's like my favorite game.

468. - All right, all right, all right, already!

469. - Can we play carrom?

470. - Yes, okay, okay! - It's gonna be so much fun!

471. - While I try to set this up, I will let my friend James

472. tell you a little bit more about himself.

473. - My name is James, and my family comes from India.

474. I like being Indian-American

475. because I learn about things from two places.

476. On my way home from school today,

477. there was an Indian festival in our neighborhood.

478. I saw costumes and floats

479. and heard music just like they have in India.

480. I like learning about India,

481. and I love Indian food

482. like samosas, puris, dal, murukku, khadhi,

483. and chapati, which is a bread I get to make.

484. We play a game called carrom.

485. It's an Indian board game,

486. and I like to play it with my brother and father.

487. You have to shoot as many pieces as you can

488. into the pockets.

489. My father usually wins.

490. I like being Indian-American

491. because I like things from both places.

492. - And there.

493. Now remember, you have to get as many of these little pieces

494. into one of these corner pockets over here.

495. The one who gets the most pieces in wins.

496. Are you ready?

497. - Oh, I'm so excited, I could hardly keep my trunk still.

498. - Now, do the best that you can.

499. - Okay! - Let us play carrom!

500. - Oh boy, here I go.

501. - Oh, no, no!

502. Aim for the pockets, the pockets!

503. Ah!

504. - Oh, I think I won, I think I won.

505. - Won?

506. Why, you did not even get one single carrom piece

507. inside a pocket.

508. - Oh yes, I did, look at this.

509. - What?

510. Oh.

511. - It's right here, in your vest pocket.

512. Hee hee hee!

513. I won, I won, I really won!

514. Oh, this is the greatest day of my entire week.

515. - A brief word of advice,

516. never play carrom with an excitable elephant.

517. - I Win!

518. Want to play one more?

519. - How about no for an answer?

520. - Oh, hi there.

521. I wonder what the twiddlebugs are up to today?

522. Oh, there goes one now.

523. - Ah, okay, everybody, it's time to take the family picture.

524. - Yay! - Everybody line up.

525. Tessie, my darling, you stand on the end there.

526. - Right here, Thomas?

527. - That is perfect.

528. Tina, daughter dear, you stand next to mommy.

529. And Timmy, you stand by your sister.

530. Now, we have the whole family.

531. - Yay!

532. - Wait, someone's missing.

533. - Oh, my shutter speed.

534. Who could it be?

535. I am here.

536. Are you here, Tina, my dear?

537. - Yes, Mommy, I am here.

538. - I am here too.

539. - Then who are we missing?

540. - Oh!

541. - Wait, Daddy is not in the picture.

542. - Huh, right you are, Tina, my dear.

543. - Mm.

544. - Wow, now I am in the picture.

545. So now, I will take the picture.

546. - Yay!

547. - Oh, dear, I think I'm missing again.

548. - Aw! - Okay, here we go.

549. Now I am here.

550. - Good, take the picture, Daddy.

551. - Wait, if I leave to take the picture,

552. We won't all be in the picture.

553. - Well then, I will take the picture, Thomas, my darling.

554. - Good, now we are all here.

555. - Mm.

556. - Wait, someone is missing again.

557. - Oh, dear, is it me?

558. - No, I think you're here, Timmy.

559. - Is it you, Mommy?

560. - Oh, my lens caps, you are right.

561. - Come on, Tessie, you have to be in the picture.

562. We need the whole family.

563. - What was I thinking?

564. Here we are.

565. - Good.

566. - Wait a minute.

567. Who is going to take the picture?

568. - We'll all take the picture.

569. - Ah!

570. - I don't see us.

571. - Neither do I.

572. Are we looking in the right place?

573. - Maybe we went someplace else.

574. - Let's look.

575. - Okay.

576. - Do you see us yet?

577. Where could we be?

578. - Hmm, maybe we went to the beach.

579. - Ow!

580. - Keep on looking.

581. - Oh, look, here we are.

582. - Eureka!

583. - What an attractive family we are.

584. - Aw.

585. - Everybody say cheese.

586. - [Tina, Timmy, And Tessie] Cheese!

587. - Wow, what a great picture.

588. They're such smart little bugs.

589. Oh!

590. Yeah!

591. Hi, welcome to Elmo's World!

592. Oh, Elmo's so happy to see you.

593. Oh, and so is Dorothy!

594. Say hello, Dorothy.

595. Guess what Elmo's thinking about today.

596. Oh.

597. Oh, oh, oh!

598. Elmo's thinking about cameras.

599. See?

600. Say cheese!

601. - Did somebody say cheese?

602. - Yeah, you know, cameras!

603. Oh, Dorothy's been thinking about cameras too.

604. And Dorothy has a question.

605. What is it, Dorothy?

606. Good, good, good.

607. How do you take a picture with a camera?

608. Oh, good question, Dorothy.

609. Hey, let's ask Mr. Noodle.

610. Oh, Mr. Noodle!

611. Shade!

612. Oh, thank you, shade.

613. Oh hi, Mr. Noodle!

614. Hi.

615. Mr. Noodle, Dorothy has a question.

616. Are you ready?

617. Good.

618. How do you take a picture with a camera, Mr. Noodle?

619. - Yeah, how do you take a picture?

620. No.

621. - That's not a camera, Mr. Noodle.

622. - That's a banana.

623. That won't work.

624. - You need a camera.

625. Here we go.

626. - You got it!

627. - Oh, yeah, that's a camera, Mr. Noodle.

628. - So, take a picture.

629. - Oh, what happened?

630. - The flash went off.

631. - You got it the wrong way.

632. - Turn it around, Mr. Noodle.

633. - That's right.

634. - Now, Mr. Noodle,

635. look through that little window, Mr. Noodle.

636. - Yep, that's it.

637. - Now, Mr. Noodle, press the button.

638. - Press the button.

639. Yeah, that one.

640. - Now, take a picture.

641. What's wrong, Mr. Noodle?

642. - Oh, he's looking for something

643. to take a picture of.

644. - Oh, oh, Mr. Noodle can take a picture of Elmo!

645. - Yeah! - Take Elmo's picture.

646. - Good idea!

647. - Yeah, Elmo loves getting his picture taken.

648. Okay, here we go.

649. Cheese!

650. - Move over.

651. - His hair's sticking up.

652. - Ew!

653. - Cheese!

654. - Yay!

655. - That's it, Mr. Noodle.

656. - Oh, thank you, Mr. Noodle!

657. - Good job!

658. - Did somebody say cheese?

659. - Look, it's a cheese!

660. Take a picture of the cheese.

661. - Oh, no, no, no, no, please, no pictures.

662. I do not wish for pictures.

663. - Go ahead. - Mr. Noodle, no.

664. No, no, I do not want any pictures.

665. - Come on, Mr. Noodle.

666. - I said I did not want them.

667. - Take a picture.

668. - Mr. Noodle, no, Mr. Noodle.

669. - You can do it! - Oh, you are

670. very persistent, Mr. Noodle,

671. but I cannot take a picture with you, sir.

672. - Get the picture, Mr. Noodle.

673. - Whoa!

674. - Look at him go.

675. - He's chasing the cheese.

676. - No pictures, no pictures, no pictures, no pictures!

677. - Mr. Noodle.

678. - Cheese is camera shy.

679. What's that, Dorothy, huh?

680. Oh, Dorothy wants to ask someone else.

681. How do you take a picture with a camera?

682. - Look Dorothy, this is how I take a picture

683. of my friend Emma on the slide.

684. First, I find the viewfinder.

685. That's this little window here.

686. Then I find Emma.

687. Then I take the picture.

688. - I'm using a video camera, Dorothy.

689. That's for moving pictures.

690. I like taking videos of my friends at the playground.

691. - Oh, thanks, Dorothy.

692. Oh, and thanks, everybody.

693. Now, Elmo will ask a baby.

694. Oh hello, baby!

695. How do you take a picture with a camera, baby?

696. Aw, baby is so cute.

697. Oh, Elmo's gonna take a picture of baby.

698. Smile!

699. Thank you, baby!

700. Ready for your close-up, Dorothy?

701. Oh, good.

702. Show Elmo your good side, say cheese!

703. - Did somebody say cheese?

704. - Yeah, Dorothy did.

705. Oh, your turn, cheese.

706. - Oh, no, no, no, no.

707. And please, stop saying cheese.

708. It really grates on me.

709. - Wait, wait, cheese, wait, wait!

710. Oh, maybe later.

711. And now, Elmo has a question for you!

712. How many pictures of Elmo are in Elmo's photo album?

713. Let's count them and see.

714. Oh, there you are.

715. - One,

716. two,

717. three,

718. four,

719. five,

720. six.

721. - Six pictures of Elmo!

722. Oh, and one picture of the camera that took them all!

723. Oh, nice job, camera.

724. Oh, and great counting, everybody.

725. Hey, drawer, hi!

726. Oh, drawer, you want to take Elmo's picture?

727. Oh, drawer can't take a picture.

728. Oh, but Elmo can take a picture of drawer!

729. Hold still, drawer.

730. Smile!

731. Smile, that's good, good, good, smile.

732. Oh, thanks, drawer.

733. That makes Elmo wonder.

734. What can take pictures and what can't?

735. Let's find out.

736. Drawer, open up, please.

737. Oh, come on, drawer, please open up, please!

738. Can birthday cakes take pictures?

739. - No!

740. - But you can take a picture of a birthday cake.

741. Very good.

742. Can cameras take pictures?

743. - Yes, if you have a person to help them.

744. - That's right.

745. Does cheese take pictures?

746. - No!

747. - But you can take a picture of cheese.

748. - Watch the birdie.

749. - You will have to catch me first.

750. - Thanks, drawer!

751. Boy, Big Bird sure loves taking pictures.

752. Oh, and so does Elmo's friend Alyssa,

753. and she told Elmo all about it.

754. - One day, I decided to take photos

755. of all of my favorite things.

756. My mom helps me put film in the camera.

757. First, I took a picture of my stuffed animal collection.

758. Smile!

759. Then I took a picture of my baby sister.

760. She sure looks sleepy.

761. Some pictures are hard to get.

762. My dog did not help.

763. I even took a picture of my next door neighbor, Brandon.

764. I took a picture of my pet cockatoo, Clarabelle.

765. Then I took a picture of my mom

766. and baby sister and Clarabelle together.

767. I even took a picture of myself.

768. And when I was all done,

769. my mom and I went to the store to get the film developed

770. and made into pictures.

771. We had to wait a couple of days for them to be ready.

772. The pictures came out great.

773. When we got home, we put all the pictures in a photo album.

774. My mom loved them.

775. And so did I.

776. Now, I can look at all my favorite things

777. whenever I want.

778. - Oh, wow.

779. Elmo really loves the pictures Alyssa took.

780. But now Elmo wants to know even more about cameras.

781. Don't you?

782. How can we find out more?

783. Hmm.

784. Oh, yeah!

785. We can watch the Camera Channel.

786. Oh, but first, Elmo's gonna take TV's picture.

787. Smile, TV.

788. Thank you, TV.

789. Now, turn yourself on.

790. Thank you.

791. - This is the Camera Channel,

792. where a picture is worth a thousand words.

793. And now it's time for our feature film,

794. "The History of the Camera."

795. Lights, camera, camera.

796. - Once, there were no cameras,

797. and taking someone's picture wasn't easy.

798. - Hold still.

799. - Hurry up, this thing's heavy.

800. - I'm drawing as fast as I can.

801. Say cheese!

802. - What's cheese?

803. - There was no cheese either.

804. The first camera was just a box with a hole in it

805. to let the light in.

806. Then one day, a few centuries later,

807. a Frenchman named Nicephore Niepce

808. made the first photograph, a picture you take with a camera.

809. - Hold still.

810. - Hurry up, this cow is heavy.

811. - It will only take eight hours.

812. Say fromage.

813. - Fromage!

814. - About 50 years later,

815. a man named George Eastman

816. developed a camera with film in it.

817. After that, taking pictures was a whole lot faster.

818. - Hold still!

819. - Hurry up, this thing's heavy!

820. - Say cheese!

821. - Cheese!

822. - Done. - That's it?

823. Yahoo!

824. - Youchy, youchy, youchy!

825. - Say cheese!

826. - Cheese, youchy, cheese, youchy!

827. - Today, there are all kinds of cameras.

828. Polaroid, digital, movie cameras.

829. - Cheese, youchy!

830. - And that's the history of the camera.

831. Coming up next on the Camera Channel,

832. "Candid Camera" and "Decent Exposure," film at 11.

833. - Oh, thank you, TV!

834. Boy, Elmo still wants to know more about cameras.

835. How can Elmo find out more?

836. Oh.

837. - Hey, this looks like a photo opportunity!

838. - Oh, yeah!

839. Elmo can talk to a camera!

840. - You know, you ought to be in pictures.

841. - Oh, thanks, camera.

842. Tell Elmo all about yourself.

843. - Okie dokie.

844. Well to start, I have a place back here

845. where I keep my film.

846. And here's where I keep my batteries.

847. - Oh!

848. - And this, upfront, is my lens.

849. - Oh, you mean, right here?

850. - Yeah. - Oh.

851. - It's kind of like an eye.

852. It lets the light in.

853. And this is a viewfinder.

854. It's kind of like a window you look through.

855. - Oh, yeah.

856. - And over here is my flash

857. for taking pictures when you need more light.

858. - Flashy!

859. - Uh-huh, you know, if you want to take a picture,

860. you just press my button.

861. That's what makes me click.

862. - Oh.

863. Well, can Elmo press the button?

864. - Well, sure.

865. Let's see what develops.

866. - Okay.

867. - Click!

868. Hey, you could be a photographer when you grow up.

869. - A photographer?

870. - Oh, sure.

871. A photographer is someone whose job it is to take pictures.

872. - Oh. - There are all kinds

873. of photographers.

874. Travel photographers, sports photographers.

875. - Oh, look, look!

876. Dorothy's imagining Elmo as a sports photographer.

877. - A sports photographer takes pictures

878. of all kinds of sports, like football.

879. - Oh, oh, smile!

880. Yeah!

881. Yeah!

882. - Photographer Elmo's okay.

883. Ah.

884. - And there are nature photographers too.

885. - Say cheese!

886. - Who said cheese?

887. - Oh, boy.

888. - Cheese!

889. - Photographer Elmo's okay, just a little blurry.

890. - Cheese!

891. - Oh!

892. - Cheese! - Oh!

893. - Wow, talk about action photography.

894. - Yeah.

895. - Too bad that wasn't a disposable camera.

896. - Yeah, but Elmo loves cameras.

897. Oh, and so does Dorothy.

898. That's why Dorothy wants us to sing "The Camera Song"!

899. - I'm camera-ready, can I sing along?

900. - Sure!

901. - Great.

902. Come on, everybody, sing along.

903. - Wow, now that's what I call a photo-finish.

904. Come on, everybody, group shot!

905. - Yeah, okay, everybody!

906. Say—

907. - No, no, do not say it.

908. Please do not say cheese.

909. - Elmo wasn't gonna say cheese.

910. Elmo was going to say broccoli!

911. - Did somebody say broccoli?

912. - Oh, okay, here we go.

913. - Broccoli!

914. - Oh, say goodbye, Dorothy!

915. Oh, say goodbye, everybody!

916. - Bye bye!

917. - Bye bye. - Bye.

918. - And remember, the camera loves you!

919. - So does Elmo!

920. - So does broccoli.

921. - Hi, Mom and Dad, there is one more amazing thing

922. I wanted to show you.

923. Ready?

924. Sesame Street was brought to you today

925. by this guy, the letter O.

926. - O, O, O.

927. - And by this guy, the number eight.

928. - Hi.

929. - That, that number, that eight?

930. Me thought that cookie.

931. - No. - Why nobody

932. tell me that an eight?

933. Oh, guess me go to go find cookie.

934. Bye, bye.

935. Cookie!

936. - Pretty amazing, huh?

937. Bye.
