00:00Once again, live from New York City, Elmo!
00:15That's wonderful, thank you audience.
00:18Hello Mr. Rove!
00:19Hello Elmo, how are you doing?
00:22Is it okay if Elmo call you Mr. Rove?
00:24Or can Elmo call you Rove?
00:26You can just call me Rove, of course you can.
00:28Oh, thank you.
00:32Now Elmo, one thing I'd like to know is a lot of us here in Australia are aware of the fact that you were very, very ticklish, is that true?
00:39Well, yeah.
00:44Elmo loves being tickled.
00:46Yeah, now you're one of those people who always seems to be laughing and having fun, what's your secret to being so happy?
00:52Oh, Elmo just loves life.
00:54I mean, Elmo has nothing to complain about, Elmo has wonderful friends, and Elmo gets to meet friends like you and your audience.
01:04They love you.
01:06They love you.
01:07What do you have to say to them?
01:08Exactly!
01:09Now, you're joining us now live from New York City.
01:12What is a little monster like you do in New York?
01:15It's such a big city.
01:17Oh, it's a wonderful city!
01:18Well, Elmo gets to go with his mommy and daddy to Central Park, and Central Park is wonderful.
01:23What did you get to do in Central Park?
01:25Did you see ducks?
01:26Did you see horses?
01:27Did you go roller skating?
01:28What did you do?
01:29Well, Elmo got to get on a horse and ride around.
01:34In one of those carriages, you mean?
01:36That's fun.
01:41There's a lot of people that rollerblade in Central Park, too, and that's fun to watch.
01:45Elmo can't do that yet, but Elmo loves watching it.
01:49Would you ever like to rollerblade at some point when you're older?
01:52Of course!
01:55What was I thinking?
01:56What a stupid question.
01:57I apologise.
02:00Yeah, what's wrong with you, Rose?
02:06Might be taller by a three-year-old red monster.
02:09It was bound to happen eventually.
02:13Now, Elmo, you have been to Australia before.
02:16When you were here in Australia, did you pick up any Australian terms?
02:21Yeah.
02:22One is, uh, bloke.
02:26Any more?
02:27Any other favourites?
02:28G'day.
02:29Did you know how to say g'day?
02:30G'day.
02:32Yeah, g'day.
02:34G'day.
02:35G'day.
02:36Did you have a favourite?
02:37And, um, and, um, Elmo...
02:39Would I keep going on myself?
02:40Vegemite.
02:41Oh, you like Vegemite?
02:42No, Elmo doesn't love Vegemite.
02:43No, Elmo doesn't love Vegemite.
02:44No.
02:45Ha, ha, ha, ha.
02:46Did you have a favourite?
02:47Because Vegemite is really nasty.
02:48Huh?
02:49Do you know what Vegemite, do you know what Vegemite is made from?
02:52Elmo doesn't think he wants to know.
02:53Now, you are only a little monster.
02:54You're only three years old.
02:55But you have your own, your own goldfish, uh, Dorothy.
02:56Isn't that a lot of responsibility for a little monster?
02:57Row, row, row, row.
02:58Elmo's three and a half.
02:59Oh.
03:00Oh.
03:01Oh.
03:02Oh.
03:03Oh.
03:04Oh.
03:05Oh.
03:06Oh.
03:07Oh.
03:08Oh.
03:09Oh.
03:10Oh.
03:11Oh.
03:12Oh.
03:13Oh.
03:14Oh.
03:15Oh.
03:16Oh.
03:17Oh.
03:18Oh.
03:19Oh.
03:20Oh.
03:21Oh.
03:22Oh.
03:23Oh.
03:24Oh.
03:25Oh.
03:26Sorry, Elmo.
03:27Where are you getting your information from?
03:34I haven't done my homework properly.
03:37But is it a lot of responsibility for a little monster to own a goldfish?
03:41Oh yeah, yeah.
03:42Because um,
03:43you gotta watch out.
03:44Because when you feed her, you can't feed her too much or else you get sick.
03:48Ah.
03:49So what happens when a goldfish gets sick?
03:51Oh.
03:52Whoa, whoa.
03:53Yes, best left of line, it's kind of like where Vegemite comes from, one of those things
04:01Yes
04:02Very much so, we won't go there
04:05Now, we in Australia are aware of you and a lot of your friends on Sesame Street
04:11Do you get along well with everybody there?
04:14Oh yeah, they're very funny
04:16And Elmo has a great time with Big Bird and Cookie Monster
04:19Oh, and Oscar said, Oscar said to have a right night
04:23I had a feeling that he would
04:25What do you guys get up to in your spare time?
04:28Oh, we love to sing and we love to do count and sing the alphabet and stuff like that
04:36Do you dance? Have you got some funky dance moves?
04:40Oh yeah, you want to see Elmo dance?
04:42Oh yes, please
04:53Oh, the kid's good
04:56Oh yeah, baby's got back
05:06Oh, thank you
05:10Your body is too bootylicious for me, baby
05:12Oh, guess what, guess what, guess what, Ralph?
05:17What?
05:19Sesame child is going to do Sesame Street
05:21Who is, sorry?
05:25Destiny's child is going to come and visit Elmo on Sesame Street
05:28Wow, are you very excited about that?
05:31Yeah, yeah, in December
05:33Wow, because you've met some very famous people
05:35You've got Destiny's Child, as you've just mentioned
05:37People like Mel Gibson have been on
05:39And other famous people like that
05:40Is it very exciting to meet so many famous celebrities?
05:44It's so much fun
05:45They're really, they're really a lot of fun to get to meet and have fun with too
05:50Yeah, I sometimes get to meet some celebrities on my show
05:54Do you have any advice for a TV show like myself when I meet big name celebrities?
06:00Don't get nervous
06:01Okay, and remember their age?
06:04They're just like everybody else
06:06They just make a lot more money than we do
06:10True, true, true, true, true
06:16Now, Elmo, do you think, apart from your dancing skills, you are a very adept singer
06:21Do you think you can sing a little song about me, perhaps?
06:24Oh, okay
06:25That's good stuff
06:49Thank you very much for joining us
06:51The one and only, Elmo
06:53No, Elmo, do you think?
06:56No, Elmo, do you think?
06:58No, Elmo, do you think?
