Sesame Street 39x6

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. - Subtraction.

5. - What does the word subtraction mean?

6. - It means to take away from one number.

7. - When you, like, have a group of things

8. and then you take some of those things away

9. and that's what's left over in that group.

10. - That's subtraction? - Mm-hmm.

11. - Keep listening for the word subtraction

12. today on "Sesame Street".

13. - Subtraction.

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

15. - What now?

16. - Yay.

17. - Elmo, you're funny. - No, you're funny.

18. - You're the funniest.

19. - Okay, everybody, snacks for everyone.

20. Here you go. - Oh boy, oh boy.

21. - Alrighty, let's see.

22. Now, mm, who ordered the birdseed breadsticks?

23. - I think that was maybe me.

24. - Here you go, Big Bird.

25. That is for you.

26. Yeah, I'll put that right there.

27. And everyone's gonna...

28. Oh, hey, hi.

29. Welcome to "Sesame Street". - Hi there.

30. - Hi. - Hola.

31. - Welcome. - Looks like you just

32. caught us in time for snack time.

33. Everyone's having a little snack right now.

34. Let's see.

35. Oh, Rosita. - Si.

36. - What fruit can I get you?

37. - Oh, one apple coming right up.

38. - Can Elmo have a banana, please?

39. - You just said the magic word.

40. Hey.

41. - What's going on, Chris? - I don't...

42. Hey.

43. - Who is that? - I don't know.

44. - Did somebody say magic?

45. - I did.

46. Who are you?

47. - Ladies and gentlemen, introducing Max the Magician.

48. - Wow. - Hey.

49. - A magician?

50. - Now, who wants to see some real magic?

51. - Elmo does, Elmo does, Elmo does.

52. - I love real magic.

53. - Then prepare to be amazed.

54. - Wow. - He's spinning.

55. - Gee.

56. - As you can see, I hold in my hands these two scarves.

57. Count them with me, you too.

58. - One.

59. Two.

60. - And now, for my first trick, I,

61. Max the Magician, will turn these two ordinary scarves

62. into three scarves right before your eyes.

63. - I wonder how he'll do it.

64. - Behold.

65. I have taken one more scarf.

66. And now, what was two scarves has become three scarves.

67. One. - One.

68. - Two.

69. Three.

70. - Oh. - Oh yay.

71. - Incredible. - Thank you.

72. Thank you very much.

73. Thank you, it's exhausting.

74. - Did you see that?

75. - He, he, he, he had two scarves and then he had three.

76. - Yeah, Elmo can't believe it.

77. How did Mr. Max the Magician do that?

78. - Well, a magician never gives away his secrets.

79. - Oh, please, please, please.

80. Elmo really, really, really, really, really wants to know.

81. - No, no.

82. The secret of the scarves has been in my family for years.

83. My lips are sealed.

84. - Oh, please?

85. We won't tell anyone.

86. - No.

87. - Chris, Chris, do you know how he did it?

88. Come on.

89. - Uh, I have an idea, but I don't wanna say anything.

90. - Oh no no, tell us, tell us.

91. - No no no no no, I don't wanna spoil it for 'em.

92. No, no, no.

93. - Oh, go on, tell everybody.

94. You'll never guess.

95. - Okay.

96. Well, it was addition, right?

97. Right?

98. 'Cause if you had two scarves and then you added one more

99. to make it three scarves.

100. - You guessed it. - Mm-hmm.

101. - How did you do that?

102. - Uh, it's kind of simple, actually.

103. Go like this.

104. Take these glasses of milk here.

105. I have two glasses of milk right here.

106. If I add one more glass of milk, how many do I have?

107. - One.

108. Two.

109. Three.

110. - Yes, addition, see?

111. - I didn't know you were a magician.

112. - I am not a magician.

113. - But you do know the secrets of a magician.

114. - Hey look, Max, I'm sorry I spoiled your trick, man.

115. - No matter.

116. I have many other tricks up my sleeves.

117. Tricks that you'll never be able to figure out.

118. - Oh, can we see more, please? - You do?

119. Oh please. - Yeah, please?

120. - Well, all right.

121. I can never disappoint my fans.

122. - Oh yay.

123. - Whoa. - Oh.

124. - Oh, whew. - Whoa.

125. - Wow.

126. Wow.

127. Look at that. - Here, you see five

128. ordinary playing cards. - Yes.

129. - Don't believe me?

130. Count them yourselves. - Okay.

131. - You can count too.

132. - One.

133. Two.

134. Three.

135. Four.

136. Five.

137. - There's five cards, Chris. - Yes, five cards altogether.

138. And now I, Max the Magician, will make them all,

139. one by one, magically disappear.

140. - Really? - Okay.

141. - Nice.

142. Yeah.

143. - Behold.

144. One card has disappeared.

145. Yes.

146. The five cards have now become four cards.

147. - No. - Wow.

148. - Count them with me.

149. - One.

150. Two.

151. Three.

152. Four.

153. - Only four, Chris, one's disappeared.

154. - Wait. - But wait, there's more.

155. - Okay. - Behold again.

156. Another card has magically disappeared.

157. Four cards have become three cards.

158. - Three?

159. - One.

160. Two.

161. Three.

162. - He's right, Chris, three. - Amazing.

163. - But keep beholding. - Okay.

164. - As three cards magically become two cards.

165. - Oh wow. - One.

166. - Two.

167. - Two cards. - Yes.

168. And as crazy and incredible as that is,

169. you gotta keep beholding. - Why?

170. - Because another card has disappeared

171. and two cards become one card.

172. - Unbelievable. - Let's count it.

173. - Yes, let's count it.

174. - One.

175. - Just one card, Chris.

176. - And now you see it and now you don't.

177. - Oh yay.

178. - And one card has become zero cards.

179. - Wow, wow, wonderful. - Incredible.

180. - You're impressed?

181. - That was the best magic trick Elmo has ever seen.

182. - Thank you.

183. Bravo. - Bravo.

184. - Now, Max the Magician, you had five cards

185. and now you have zero.

186. How did you ever do it?

187. - Uh-uh now, Bird, you know that I can't ever tell you

188. the secrets behind my magic.

189. Magician's code of honor.

190. - Oh, please, please. - Oh, please.

191. - I'm sorry, never.

192. - Oh. - Maybe we can figure it out.

193. - Well, you can try.

194. But this is truly a trick of great mystery.

195. Not even your friend over here could figure it out.

196. Am I right?

197. - Well...

198. - Chris, Chris, do you know how he did it?

199. - Yeah, tell us, Chris, tell us, tell us.

200. - Yeah, tell us.

201. - Okay, you know what,

202. I just don't wanna spoil it for you guys.

203. I couldn't do that. - Oh, come on.

204. - No chance of that

205. because you'll never guess it in a million years.

206. So go on, tell us.

207. Tell us what you think is the secret

208. of the disappearing cards.

209. - Yeah, what is it? - Okay.

210. It's subtraction.

211. - Really? - You guessed it.

212. - Yes. - Again.

213. Wow.

214. Gosh, you figured out another trick.

215. - Mm-hmm. - You went to the

216. Magicians Correspondence School too, didn't you?

217. - No. - I thought I recognized you.

218. - No, it wasn't me.

219. - Well then, how did you know it was a subtraction?

220. - Yeah. - Well, let me

221. give you an example.

222. If, oh wait, I got my straws right here.

223. See this?

224. Now, count 'em.

225. One. - Two.

226. Three.

227. Four.

228. Five.

229. - Five straws, okay.

230. Now, if I have all five straws

231. and I subtract all of them, how many do I have left?

232. - Well, Chris doesn't have any.

233. - Exactly.

234. No straws.

235. Zero straws. - Zero straws.

236. - Mm-hmm. - You made them all

237. disappear at once.

238. - That's a great trick, Chris.

239. - Oh, thank you, thank you.

240. - It's almost as great as my disappearing card trick.

241. - Oh, okay. - Are you sure

242. you're not a magician?

243. - No.

244. Well, maybe a math magician.

245. - Well.

246. Whatever kind of magician you are,

247. you'll never be able to guess how I do my next trick.

248. - Really?

249. - This trick has stumped audiences all over the world.

250. And no one will ever, ever, ever figure it out.

251. - Gee.

252. How about that, Chris?

253. - Oh, hello.

254. Hey.

255. See that?

256. - Whoa.

257. - Oh. - Oh.

258. - For my next magic trick,

259. I will need a volunteer from the audience.

260. - Elmo, Elmo, Elmo, Elmo. - Me, me, me, me, me, me, me.

261. - Oh, oh, me, me, me, me, me, me, pick me.

262. - You in the yellow feathers.

263. - Hey, that's me.

264. - That's right.

265. Now, my friend, as you can see,

266. I have here one ordinary piece of rope, wouldn't you say?

267. - Yes, it looks pretty ordinary, mm-hmm.

268. - But now I, Max the Magician, will take this one piece

269. of rope and turn it into two pieces of rope.

270. - Oh. - Whoa.

271. - Now, my assistant, if you would please take this end

272. of the rope right here.

273. - Okay, I've got it.

274. - Watch carefully as I turn this one piece of rope

275. into two pieces of rope.

276. - Two?

277. - Behold.

278. Two pieces of rope.

279. - Oh. - Come on.

280. - Two pieces of rope.

281. - That was amazing. - Thank you so much.

282. - Hey, Chris, how did he do that?

283. - Oh, Rosita, I'm not saying a thing this time.

284. - Oh come on, come on. - No no no no no no no no.

285. - Thank you, thank you. - Well, that's all right.

286. You possibly couldn't figure it out

287. because nobody could ever possibly figure this one out.

288. It is one of the most mysterious and wondrous tricks

289. that I've ever come up with.

290. - Excuse me.

291. I think maybe I figured it out.

292. - No no no.

293. No no, you possibly couldn't have done it

294. because you're so young, there's no way.

295. - No, I think I've got it.

296. Now, if I took one of these breadsticks

297. and then break it in half. - Uh-huh.

298. - See?

299. One piece becomes one, two pieces.

300. - Cool. - Whoa.

301. - And that's what you did with the rope right, Max?

302. You cut it into two pieces?

303. - That's right, I divided it.

304. Gosh, I can't believe that you,

305. a young bird, figured it out.

306. No one I've ever met has done that before.

307. - Oh wow. - Really?

308. - I just put one and one together.

309. I didn't mean to ruin your trick either.

310. - Well, that's okay, my feathered friend.

311. - Yeah, yeah, Mr. Max the Magician has another trick.

312. Right, right, right? - Yeah.

313. - Come on, show us your next trick.

314. - Well, actually that, no, that was my very last trick.

315. - Your last trick?

316. Are you sure? - Yes.

317. No more tricks up my sleeve.

318. Look for yourself.

319. - Nope, nothing in there.

320. - Oh.

321. - You guessed the secret of all my tricks.

322. Nothing like this has ever happened to me before.

323. - Hey, sorry, Max.

324. - Well, there's no need to be sorry.

325. You've been a great audience.

326. A little too great.

327. But I like a challenge.

328. For I am Max the Magician,

329. the greatest magician of all time.

330. And I'll find new tricks, trickier tricks.

331. Tricks that you've never even dreamed of.

332. I'll stump you yet, wait and see.

333. - Well, Elmo can't wait.

334. - Mm-hmm. - Me too.

335. - Yeah, and we love your magic tricks.

336. - We do.

337. - Farewell, loyal fans.

338. It may take years, but I shall be back one day

339. with a trick that will truly amaze you.

340. A trick that no one could ever figure out.

341. Till then.

342. - Wow.

343. - Hey, Mr. Max the Magician.

344. - Where did he go?

345. - That was some trick.

346. - Yeah. - Yeah.

347. How'd he do that one, Chris?

348. - Yeah, Chris, how, how?

349. Huh, huh? - Mm-mm.

350. - Man, the commercials were true.

351. This spray stuff works like magic.

352. Oh.

353. - Did somebody say magic?

354. - Elmo, what are you wearing?

355. - Elmo's pretending to be a magician.

356. - Okay. - You like it?

357. - Yeah, I do.

358. - And now, Elmo the Magician

359. will make the Letter of the Day, the letter C, disappear.

360. - Oh. - Now you see C.

361. - Uh-huh.

362. - Now, you don't.

363. - Very funny.

364. - Look, it's the letter C.

365. - C.

366. Circle.

367. - C.

368. - C.

369. - Circle.

370. - C, C, C, C, circle.

371. - Circle.

372. - C. - Circle.

373. - C.

374. - Hello there.

375. It is I, your furry acrobat Grover.

376. I just somersaulted all the way back from China

377. where I was visiting my friend Boyang.

378. He is an acrobat too and he showed me

379. how to do some cute acrobat tricks.

380. Now, watch me jump through this hoop.

381. Ha.

382. Okay, here we go.

383. Oh.

384. Oh.

385. I think I sprained my fur.

386. Oh, and I did not mean to go over the hoop.

387. I meant to go through the hoop.

388. Oh.

389. That is a common acrobat mistake.

390. Let me try again.

391. Okay, here we go.

392. What happened?

393. Did I, no, I didn't.

394. I did not go through the hoop again.

395. I went to the side of the hoop.

396. Just give me one more chance, please.

397. Okay, this one is for the Gipper.

398. Oh.

399. Oh.

400. Oh, talk about nose dives.

401. Oh boy, oh boy.

402. And I still did not go through the hoop.

403. Perhaps I need a smidge more practice.

404. Yeah.

405. The more I practice, the better I will get.

406. And while I am practicing,

407. you can watch this highly informative film.

408. - This is my school in Beijing, China,

409. where I'm learning how to be an acrobat.

410. My name is Boyang.

411. My father and my grandfather were also acrobats.

412. When I first started, I could only stand on one pipe.

413. But now, I stack them up.

414. There are 30 kids in my school.

415. They come from all over China to learn how to be acrobats.

416. There are girls and boys between eight and 15 years old.

417. It's very hard to get into my school.

418. It takes a long time and a lot of practice

419. to learn these tricks.

420. We practice for eight hours each day.

421. Acrobats are a Chinese tradition

422. that has been going on for many, many years.

423. After we've learned how to do our acts really well,

424. we have shows for an audience.

425. We put on fancy clothes and makeup.

426. Many people come to see us.

427. It's very exciting to be onstage for all of us

428. and to show how much we've learned.

429. Tonight is the first time I will climb on five pipes

430. for an audience.

431. All my friends came to see me perform

432. and they liked the show a lot.

433. It's fun to be an acrobat.

434. - Well, I practiced and practiced

435. and now, once again, I, Acrobat Grover,

436. will jump and go through the hoop.

437. Jump.

438. Ta-da, I did it.

439. I went through the hoop.

440. Oh, Boyang will be so proud.

441. - Did somebody say magic?

442. - No, I didn't say anything, Elmo.

443. - Oh, well that's okay.

444. Elmo the Magician will still perform a trick for you.

445. - Oh, okay.

446. - And now, Elmo the Magician

447. will show you the Number of the Day.

448. With these carrots right here. - Okay.

449. - As you can see, there are one,

450. two, three, four, five carrots.

451. - Uh, Elmo. - Huh?

452. - The Number of the Day isn't five, it's four.

453. - Well, that's where the magic comes in.

454. For Elmo the Magician will make one carrot disappear.

455. Hm.

456. Ah.

457. - Hey, let's see.

458. I get it, you had five carrots

459. and then you took away one, so that leaves you with one,

460. two, three, four carrots.

461. - Oh.

462. Behold.

463. Four carrots.

464. Four, the Number of the Day.

465. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.

466. - Well done, well done, well done.

467. - Thank you, thank you, thank you.

468. - Four.

469. Four.

470. Four.

471. Four.

472. Four.

473. One, two, three, four.

474. Four.

475. Four.

476. - The number four.

477. - Yep, it's a four all right.

478. - Four.

479. - Oh no.

480. - Picture, sleep. - Buddy Bert.

481. - What?

482. - Whoa. - Yah.

483. - This is kinda kicky.

484. - Yah.

485. - Can you believe it, Bert?

486. We're out in space exploring alien planets.

487. - Yeah.

488. But I'm getting kind of hungry, Ernie.

489. Did we bring any oatmeal?

490. - Of course we did, Bert.

491. But we're astronauts

492. and all our food comes in squeezy tubes.

493. Let me get you the oatmeal one.

494. Oop, oh.

495. Hey, look at this, Bert, I'm floating.

496. - Ernie, we're in space, everything floats.

497. - Uh-huh.

498. Oops.

499. Look at me, Bert, I'm swimming in oatmeal.

500. - Ernie, get back in your seat and buckle up.

501. Hurry, we're about to land.

502. - Roger, Bert.

503. - Um, I don't think that's

504. how we're supposed to land, Ernie.

505. - Hmm-mm. - Now how do we get off?

506. - Well, we'll jump.

507. - Jump?

508. Not me.

509. You jump if you want.

510. - Okay, Bert.

511. - Wow, look at that.

512. - Grab on, Bert.

513. - Uh-oh, what was that?

514. - Gee, must be the locals.

515. Come out, come out wherever you are.

516. We're friendly.

517. Hey, look how cute those little guys are, Bert.

518. Hm, they kinda remind me of somebody.

519. - But are they friendly?

520. - Let's find out.

521. Greetings, space creatures.

522. We come from Earth in the spirit of fun.

523. Gee, I think they wanna be friends with us, Bert.

524. Say hello to 'em.

525. - Hi.

526. Why'd they move away, Ernie?

527. Oh, maybe they don't wanna be my friend.

528. - Oh come on, of course they do, Bert.

529. But maybe they're shy.

530. Go on, say something to 'em.

531. - Uh.

532. Uh.

533. - Okay, sure.

534. - Oh.

535. - Oh.

536. Ha ha.

537. Come on, Bert, this is really fun.

538. - Oh.

539. But I don't know what to say to those space creatures.

540. Hello there, space creatures.

541. - Oh.

542. Ha ha.

543. - You like my socks? - Wee.

544. What's keeping you, Bert?

545. Come on.

546. - Look.

547. Here's a picture of my oatmeal dish.

548. You fellows like oatmeal?

549. Huh, huh?

550. And here is a picture of my favorite pigeon Bernice.

551. Oh, but I don't suppose you care about pigeons either.

552. - Hey, Bert, I think the space creatures like pigeons.

553. - I can't believe this.

554. - But where are you taking me?

555. - Oh, look at that.

556. - Coo coo.

557. - Coo coo.

558. Well, what do you know, Ernie.

559. These space creatures have great taste.

560. - Coo coo.

561. - I told you my old buddy Bert was really cool.

562. And if you love pigeons, wait till you see his pigeon dance.

563. Go on, Bert, show it to 'em.

564. - I think I will.

567. than I thought too.

582. Welcome to "Elmo's World".

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

584. Oh, and so is Dorothy.

585. Say hello, Dorothy.

586. Oh, guess what Elmo's thinking about today.

587. Wow.

588. Listen to that.

589. Well, that sounds like...

590. Wow.

591. Yes.

592. Violins.

593. Ah.

594. Wow.

595. And bows.

596. That's right, violins.

597. Elmo has a surprise for you today.

598. A violin surprise.

599. What's that Dorothy?

600. Oh.

601. Yeah.

602. Dorothy's right.

603. Elmo will save his surprise for later

604. because Dorothy has a question.

605. Yeah, what's that, Dorothy?

606. Oh, okay.

607. How do you hold a violin when you play it?

608. Oh, good question, Dorothy.

609. Let's ask Mr. Noodle.

610. Mr. Noodle.

611. Hey, shade, please go up.

612. Shade, stop fiddling around and go up, please.

613. Oh, oh, oh.

614. Oh.

615. Oh.

616. Oh.

617. Oh.

618. Oh.

619. Oh.

620. Oh.

621. Hi, Mr. Noodle.

622. Oh, now Dorothy has a question, Mr. Noodle.

623. You ready?

624. Okay.

625. How do you hold a violin when you play it, Mr. Noodle?

626. - Do you know how, Mr. Noodle?

627. No.

628. - Mr. Noodle. - A violin.

629. - Not a banana, Mr. Noodle. - You can't play a banana.

630. - How do you hold a violin?

631. - Yeah. - Yeah, that's it.

632. - That's right, a violin. - How do you hold it

633. when you play it, Mr. Noodle?

634. - Show us how, Mr. Noodle. - Do you think he knows?

635. - I don't know. - Mr. Noodle.

636. - No, not like that.

637. - That's dancing. - That's very nice dancing

638. but that's not the answer, Mr. Noodle.

639. Try again, Mr. Noodle.

640. - No. - Not up there.

641. - Mr. Noodle.

642. - No. - Not on your ear.

643. - It's okay, Mr. Noodle, you'll get it.

644. Try again. - How do you hold it

645. when you play it? - Oh, Mr. Noodle.

646. Here's a clue.

647. You see that little black thing on the end?

648. That's where you put the chin.

649. - So put that black part under your chin.

650. - Do you know where that is?

651. Yeah, right there.

652. - But no. - Not like that.

653. - Just slide it over a little towards your ear.

654. - Yeah, over there. - Not that far.

655. - Too far, Mr. Noodle.

656. Glide it back towards your mouth.

657. - Yeah, keep trying, Mr. Noodle.

658. - Whoa, whoa, whoa, right there.

659. - Yay.

660. - You got it. - That's how you hold a violin

661. when you play it, yay, Mr. Noodle.

662. Now, all you need is a bow. - A bow.

663. - A bow.

664. Yeah.

665. - No, not that kind of bow.

666. - It's very pretty, but you need a violin bow.

667. - You need that to play a violin.

668. - Yeah, that's it. - Yay, that's it.

669. That's a violin bow, Mr. Noodle.

670. You use that to play the violin.

671. Oh, that's enough, Mr. Noodle.

672. - Oh, Mr. Noodle. - Enough, Mr. Noodle.

673. - A little help, shade.

674. Mr. Noodle.

675. What's that, Dorothy?

676. Oh, okay.

677. Dorothy wants to ask someone else.

678. How do you hold a violin when you play?

679. - Hi, Dorothy.

680. This is my violin.

681. This is the neck.

682. And these

683. are the strings and this is the chin rest.

684. This is how I play it with my bow.

685. - Dorothy, this is my violin and this is how I play it.

686. See?

687. - Thanks, guys.

688. And thank you too, Dorothy.

689. Now, Elmo will ask a baby.

690. Oh, hello, baby.

691. Baby, how do you hold a violin when you play it?

692. Go ahead.

693. Go ahead.

694. Thank you, baby.

695. Kiss kiss.

696. Bye-bye.

697. Oh boy.

698. Oh, and now Elmo has a question

699. Yeah, you.

700. How many violins can this octopus play?

701. Let's count them and see.

702. Oh, octopus.

703. There you are.

715. Oh, and great practicing, octopus.

716. Oh, maybe this is a good time for Elmo's surprise.

717. - Elmo has mail.

718. Elmo has mail.

719. Elmo has mail.

720. - Not now.

721. Elmo has email.

722. Later.

723. - Elmo has mail.

724. - Thank you, computer.

725. Oh, let's see who it's from.

726. Ah.

727. Elmo's got email from his friend Abby Cadabby.

728. - Hi, Elmo.

729. I'm here with my new friend Miri Ben-Ari.

730. - Hello, Elmo.

731. - And she plays the violin.

732. Um, Miri, what's a violin?

733. - This is a violin, Abby, see?

734. It's a musical instrument that has strings

735. and I love to play it.

736. - You play that?

737. How?

738. - Well, you move the bow over the strings

739. and the violin makes music.

740. - That sounds like magic.

741. - Not really, I'll show you. - Okay.

742. Oh, wow.

743. That sounded like magic to me.

744. Oh, Miri, do you think I could play the violin?

745. Huh, huh?

746. - I think you can.

747. If you learn how to play it and if you practice a lot.

748. - Maybe I'll learn one day.

749. Now, all I know is my trick.

750. - What's your trick?

751. - Oh, it's this.

752. Frumpkin tumpkin ibbity obbity pumpkin.

753. So, Miri, can you play that pumpkin?

754. - I think I can.

755. Let me try.

756. - Hey, bye, Elmo. - Bye, Elmo.

757. - Catchy.

758. - Thanks, computer, thanks.

759. Violins have strings that make music when you play them.

760. That makes Elmo wonder what else

761. has strings and makes music.

762. Let's find out.

763. Oh, drawer.

764. What is drawer doing?

765. Oh boy.

766. Drawer doesn't have strings.

767. Does a flute have strings and make music?

768. - A flute doesn't have strings.

769. - But you can make music with it.

770. - Very pretty.

771. Does cheese have strings and make music?

772. - No, it doesn't have strings.

773. And you can't make music with it.

774. - What about string cheese?

775. - You can't make music with it, but it tastes good.

776. - Does a piano have strings and make music?

777. - Yes, but not like that.

778. The strings are on the inside.

779. - Ah.

780. Does Rosita have strings and make music?

781. - Rosita doesn't have strings.

782. - But I make music when I play my guitar

783. and my guitar has strings.

784. Oh yeah.

785. - Thanks, drawer.

786. Now, it's time for Elmo's violin surprise.

787. No, not yet.

788. Because now, Elmo wants to find out more about violins.

789. Elmo's friend Livie takes violin lessons

790. and she told Elmo all about it.

791. - I'm learning how to play the violin

792. and my teacher is Mrs. Jimmerson.

793. I have to be very careful with my violin.

794. My teacher doesn't want to hear a sound

795. when I put it on the table.

796. I put something called rosin on the bow

797. before I play the violin.

798. Without rosin, there would be no sound at all.

799. My teacher taught me how to hold the violin

800. in rest position and play position.

801. I'm learning how to play "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star".

802. I practice on two strings.

803. - Okay.

804. - And then, I use my fingers to play the tune.

805. My teacher put tape on my violin so I know where

806. to put my fingers to play different notes.

807. And I'm learning how to use different bow strokes.

808. Legato.

809. Which means a smooth stroke.

810. But what I like most is playing

811. while my teacher plays with me on the piano.

812. I'm learning a lot.

813. And I love to play the violin.

814. - Good job.

815. - Aw.

816. Great violin playing, Livie.

817. Elmo wants to learn even more about violins.

818. Don't you?

819. How can we find out more?

820. Oh, yes, yes, TV.

821. We can watch the Violin Channel on TV.

822. Turn yourself on, TV.

823. Thank you.

824. - Welcome to the Violins Channel.

825. We string you along.

826. And now, "The Violin That Loved Her Bow".

827. - Once upon a time there was a little violin

828. that loved her bow.

829. And her bow loved her too.

830. - My bow friend.

831. - They loved doing things together.

832. They took long walks on the beach together.

833. - We don't take long walks on the beach.

834. - Oh, then they had candlelit dinners together.

835. - We don't do that either.

836. - Well, what do you do together?

837. - We make beautiful music together.

838. - Oh right.

839. The violin and her bow made very fast music together.

840. And slow music together.

841. The violin and her bow made high notes together.

842. And low notes together.

843. They made loud music together.

844. And soft music together.

845. They played well with others too.

846. Sometimes, they'd play with a lot

847. of other musical instruments in an orchestra.

848. No matter what, the violin

849. and the bow loved to play together.

850. And they played happily ever after.

851. The end.

852. - Coming up next, "Stringing in the Rains".

853. Stay tuned.

854. - Wait wait wait wait wait wait, TV.

855. Elmo wants to find out more about violins.

856. How can we find out more?

857. Who could that be?

858. - Hey, kid.

859. How'd you like to talk to a violin?

860. - And a bow.

861. - Oh boy.

862. We can talk to a violin and a bow.

863. Yay.

864. - Take my bow.

865. Please.

866. - Why do I always have to play second fiddle?

867. - So, how is a chicken like a violin?

868. - Whoa.

869. - We both have a neck.

870. And a body.

871. And we both get plucked.

872. - But seriously, Elmo, you can play all kinds

873. of music on the violin.

874. - Really?

875. Well, what kind of music?

876. - Well, there's classical music.

877. - That tickles.

878. Take my bow, please.

879. - Very nice.

880. - You can also play jazz on the violin.

881. - Oh, really?

882. Oh look, look, look, look.

883. Dorothy's imagining Elmo playing jazz music on the violin.

884. - We're gonna watch a fish think?

885. This'll be exciting.

886. - And there's bluegrass.

887. You can play that on the fiddle,

888. another name for the violin.

889. Fancy fiddling.

890. - Yeah.

891. Elmo knows something else to play on the violin,

892. the violin song.

893. Yeah.

894. Now it's time for Elmo's surprise.

895. Oh, oh, no no no.

896. Not today, piano.

897. Mm-mm, mm-mm.

898. Elmo's gonna play the violin song on the violin.

899. Surprise.

900. - We love the violin song. - Play with Elmo.

901. You too, piano.

902. Everybody.

903. - Say goodbye, Dorothy.

904. Oh, say goodbye, Violin. - Goodbye.

905. Take my bow, please.

906. - Take a bow, Bow. - Thank you.

907. - Violins.

908. Oh.

909. Wait a minute.

910. It looks like Elmo left his magician's cape.

911. You know what, I think I can

912. be a pretty good magician myself.

913. Spotlight.

914. "Sesame Street" was brought to you today by the letter C.

915. Wasn't quite finished.

916. "Sesame Street" was also brought to you today

917. by the number four.

918. Oh, no, hey, hey, hey.

919. Just gotta take my bow.

920. Thank you and...

921. I have to take my bow.

922. Thank you.

923. Will you just let me take my...

924. Okay, bad spotlight.

925. Thank you.

926. Excuse me.

927. Thank...

928. Hey.

929. Just wait a minute.

930. Can we talk about this?

931. Thank you.

932. Oh, oh.

933. I'm tired.

934. I'm going home.

935. Goodnight.

936. See y'all later.
