00:00Sesame Street, show number five.
00:30The End
01:00Sunny day, sweepin' the clouds away, on my way to where the air is clean.
01:13Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street?
01:19Come and play, everything's A-OK, friendly neighbors there, that's where we meet.
01:32Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street?
01:39How to get to Sesame Street?
01:42Hi, welcome to Sesame Street, where it's usually sunny, but today, for some reason, it just looks like rain.
02:01See, what did I tell you?
02:02I think I better get home pretty quick.
02:05Yeah, that's right.
02:11You know, anybody that'd stay out in weather like this is weird.
02:15Speaking of weird, Oscar, will you close your lid? You're gonna get soaking wet.
02:21When I want to ask for your advice, I'll ask for it.
02:25Well, this guy's so ornery, he'll do anything to be different.
02:29He's weird.
02:30Huh, always pickin' on me.
02:35Well, Buddy and Jim stay out in the rain, and nobody calls them weird.
02:47Well, come on, Buddy.
02:50I'm coming, Jim.
02:52I'm coming.
02:54Hey, Jim.
02:55What is it?
02:55Tell me something, will you?
02:56What?
02:57Hey, Jim.
02:58Jim, what do we got in the cart?
03:03We've got umbrellas in the cart.
03:08What are umbrellas for, Jim?
03:11Well, they keep you dry when it's raining out.
03:19They don't work.
03:22Of course they work.
03:25Well, first you gotta open it.
03:28Oh!
03:38Umbrellas don't work, Jim.
03:42I didn't mean open the cart, you dummy.
03:45You gotta open the umbrellas.
03:48If I open an umbrella, it keeps the rain off me while...
03:51It keeps me dry while it's raining?
03:54Sure, that's what I heard.
03:55I won't get wet?
03:56No.
04:11Hey, Jim.
04:12What is it?
04:13Would you help me find one that works?
04:15Oh, all right.
04:16I'm getting wet, Jim.
04:30Hey, Jim.
04:31What?
04:33You know something?
04:36Umbrellas don't keep you dry when it rains.
04:38You know, I think there's something wrong here.
04:45What is it?
04:46I think you're supposed to unwrap them first.
04:48You see how all these umbrellas are all wrapped up?
04:50Why, sure.
04:52All right.
04:52Now let's see what happens if we take the cloth off.
04:56Come on, Jim.
04:57Take it.
04:58Come on.
04:59Come on.
05:03Hey, Jim.
05:18You did it again.
05:21I certainly did.
05:24My name is Alice Braceweight Goodie Shoes, and I'm a terribly clever girl, and I'm going
05:30to show you something terribly clever.
05:32I know the difference between wet and dry.
05:36This bathtub is full of water.
05:38It's wet.
05:39I'm dry.
05:45Now the bathtub is dry, and I'm wet.
05:54You think that was funny?
06:00I mean, that the monster poured a whole bathtub of water all over her?
06:03Not that part.
06:04What was funny was when the monster kissed her, and she says, bleh.
06:08Well, you'd go black, too, if a monster suddenly appeared and kissed you.
06:11No, I wouldn't.
06:12I'd think it was funny.
06:14Hmm?
06:16Bleh.
06:17Now that's funny.
06:23What does Burt Lancaster do when he's happy?
06:26What does Burt Lancaster do when he's angry?
06:35What does Burt Lancaster do when he's home?
06:41I watch Sesame Street with you.
06:47Hello, Mr. Hoover.
06:49Hello, Susan.
06:50It really turned out to be a nice day, didn't it?
06:52Every day you come to my store is a nice day.
06:56Oh, thank you.
06:57What can I do for you?
06:58Well, I need one string for my guitar, and I thought I'd like one soda.
07:02You're just in time for a string, but, uh, about the soda.
07:07What do you mean, about the soda?
07:09My latest invention.
07:11Oh, boy.
07:12Hooper's super-duper secret stealer-stopper.
07:16Uh-huh.
07:17Uh, do I dare ask what a super-duper stealer-stopper is?
07:24Observe.
07:30I'm a burglar, huh?
07:31Mm-hmm.
07:33What would a burglar do the first thing he came into Mr. Hooper's store?
07:37Oh, steal his money.
07:38Ah, no, Hooper isn't famous for his money, but he's famous for his sodas.
07:44So the first thing a burglar would take would be his soda.
07:47Huh?
07:48So, I'm a burglar.
07:57I go behind the counter.
08:00I take a glass.
08:04Turn on a soda, but no soda comes out.
08:07But music.
08:08I try to concentrate on robber the store, but I can't.
08:14My feet are tapping.
08:16My fingers are snapping.
08:18I try to turn off the faucet to stop the music.
08:21But I can't turn it off because it's locked.
08:25And it's locked to play and place them all
08:28until a burglar in my store forgets just what he came in for
08:33and dances his way right out the door.
08:40But, Mr. Hooper!
08:43My string!
08:45My soda!
08:59When you have to sneeze, a nose comes in very handy.
09:19We're going to sing a song about going for a ride in a car.
09:27How many of you like to go for a ride in a car on Sundays?
09:31Sure.

09:59Boys in the front seat, girls in the back.
10:03Lock the doors with a clickety-clack so you don't fall out
10:09When I take you for a ride in a car, car.
10:13Who knows how to make the motor of a car sound?

14:18Let's go.
14:48Let's go.
15:18Let's go.
15:48Let's go.
16:18She let out a squeal and woke from her dream in time to see the eagle and me flying away
16:29with the Easter egg over the evening sea.
16:33Let's go.
16:35Let's go.
16:37Let's go.

17:09Let's go.
17:11Let's go.
17:13Let's go.
17:17Let's go.
17:19Let's go.
17:20We gotta guess what you're making?
17:48Now we're gonna do this little ziggly line.
17:51A tree! A Christmas tree!
17:55That's right, it's a Christmas tree. We're right about that.
17:58Now let's see what we think this is. What do we think all this is?
18:01I know what that is. Tip-tap-toe.
18:04No? It's the balls that are on the tree.
18:07The snow! That's right, it's the snow.
18:10And we're gonna put a little more snow on the branches of the tree, too.
18:14Same like that. This is outside. This tree is gonna be outside in the snow.
18:20Now we're gonna put something in the snow here.
18:23What do you think this is? Why don't you make a house in front of it?
18:26Like this. What's that?
18:29You made a nine here!
18:31No.
18:33A boy? A bear?
18:35A bear. A bear, that's right.
18:37I said it before you. It's a big brown bear.
18:39Who said it before?
18:41Oh, I don't know. I wasn't paying attention.
18:43I was so busy drawing the bear. I missed who said it first.
18:46Oh, you told it. You made something wrong.
18:48Wait a minute.
18:50Wait a minute. What? I forgot his mouth.
18:51Yeah.
18:52That's what I was gonna say.
18:53Make him smiling.
18:54And let's see. What does a bear live in? Wait a minute.
18:55A cave.
18:56That's right. We'll put a big, black, dark cave.
18:57Did you know that bears sleep in the wintertime?
18:58Yeah.
18:59They sleep all the way until, um...
19:00Summer.
19:01Summer.
19:02I guess this must be a...
19:03Ring.
19:04He must have had insomnia. Right?
19:05He must have ate too much people.
19:06Christmas tree.
19:07Oh, you forgot something.
19:08Now, wait a minute. One more thing.
19:09You didn't do the bumpy on there.
19:10That's right.
19:11Well, I sort of thought that side sort of fell off of the cave.
19:12I should have pretended it wasn't there.
19:13But I thought it was a big, big, dark cave.
19:14I thought it was a big, big, dark cave.
19:15Did you know that bears sleep in the wintertime?
19:16Yeah.
19:17They sleep all the way until, um...
19:18Summer.
19:19Summer.
19:20I guess this must be a...
19:21Green.
19:22He must have had insomnia.
19:23He must have ate too much people.
19:25Christmas tree.
19:26Oh, you forgot something.
19:27Now, wait a minute.
19:28You didn't do...
19:29One more thing.
19:30That's right.
19:31Well, I sort of thought that side sort of fell off of the cave.
19:33I should have pretended it wasn't there.
19:35You didn't...
19:36Of course, the snowflakes don't really look like this.
19:37You know that.
19:38They look more like...
19:39Make the bottom look like that.
19:40We'll do a big snowflake over here.
19:42I...
19:43I gotta...
19:44What's that?
19:45Oh, the star?
19:46You forgot something.
19:47That's what a snowflake looks like close up, you know?
19:49Sort of...
19:50I mean, it's got all kinds of little triangles and things going on.
19:53Have you ever looked at a snowflake close up?
19:54Yeah.
19:55Wait a minute.
19:56I'm going to do one thing.
19:57With a different color?
19:58With a different color.
19:59What?
20:00No.
20:01I'm going to take a green.
20:02Oh, the green.
20:03Can I?
20:04Can I?
20:05Put a tree.
20:06Put it in here.
20:07Like that.
20:08Because those are evergreens.
20:09Which you see in the wintertime.
20:10That's brown!
20:11Okay.
20:12You forgot that.
20:13Now, I'm going to draw another animal that you sometimes see out in the woods too.
20:17A reindeer?
20:18That's right.
20:19I see.
20:20Like that one.
20:21Let's see.
20:22I see she's...
20:23I see she's copying it.
20:24Right?
20:25That's right.
20:26I did a little drawing before because I couldn't remember what your deers looked like.
20:31She copied it enough because I could see it.
20:33Can't you?
20:34Well, I didn't copy it.
20:35I drew it myself.
20:36Can't you see?
20:37No.
20:38You saw me drawing.
20:39No, that's wrong.
20:40That's wrong?
20:41You have to have a split.
20:42You have to have a split.
20:43You must have feet there.
20:45Because he has four feet.
20:47You don't want one feet.
20:49Two feet like a dog has.
20:51I mean...
20:52Like that.
20:53And his shoulders.
20:54You're right.
20:55And his back.
20:56And we're going to do his little tail.
20:58And then his pretty big eyes.
21:01Don't they have pretty big eyes?
21:02His lashes!
21:03And his little lashes.
21:05He got big!
21:06And his little nose.
21:07And his little mouth.
21:08Yeah, big, big...
21:09Don't...
21:10That's a girl!
21:11That looks like a girl, dear.
21:12I think it is, as a matter of fact.
21:13But...
21:14I think maybe this would be a little girl, dear.
21:15Hey, we'll do little whiskers to get out.
21:18But don't they have long eyes now?
21:24Cute.
21:28Hey, Jenny.
21:32Why don't you all come over and...
21:34Look at the deer we have here.
21:40Very slowly.
21:41They get frightened.
21:42They're very timid.
21:43They get frightened easily.
21:44Awesome.
21:45They might eat your buttons.
21:47Yeah.
21:48They tried to eat my buttons before.
21:49Really?
21:50I know.
21:51Isn't he beautiful?
21:52Is this a boy or a girl?
21:53This is a girl.
21:54Listen to me.
21:55You have to move very slowly.
21:57Very slowly with little animals.
21:58Bambi.
21:59Bambi.
22:00Mm-hmm.
22:01Come and sit her here on this step.
22:02Come on.
22:03Can you see?
22:04Okay.
22:05Bambi.
22:06This is a...
22:07This is an English fallow deer.
22:08Bambi.
22:09Bambi.
22:10Bambi.
22:11Her name is Bambi.
22:12Bambi.
22:13Bambi.
22:14Mm-hmm.
22:15Let's see if she's hungry.
22:16She's had some breakfast, but...
22:18Don't get too close.
22:19Come on over here.
22:20Let's see if she'd like to eat for a while.
22:23Oh, look what she eats.
22:25Mmm.
22:26She likes milk and oats and all kinds of things.
22:29She was eating an apple a little while ago.
22:32Let's see if we eat an apple.
22:34Oh, you think?
22:36How old is she?
22:38Three months.
22:39Only about...
22:40No, this one's almost...
22:41You're almost right.
22:42About four months.
22:43She's a baby.
22:44Look at that.
22:45Think she has all her teeth?
22:47I think so.
22:48The little...
22:49No, probably baby teeth.
22:50Yeah, huh?
22:51See?
22:52This...
22:53This wood?
22:54This wood?
22:55If you were a little...
22:56This wood?
22:57Baby deer.
22:58No, it's a little pallet of grain.
23:00If you were a little baby, do you know what you'd be called it?
23:02Little girl?
23:03What?
23:04What?
23:05It's a doe.
23:06A little girl deer is a doe.
23:07A little baby deer.
23:08A deer is a d-word.
23:10I know.
23:11And we have the Listen My Brother group with all the letters of the alphabet right now.
23:17He looks so cute.
23:19Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
23:25Boys and girls, have you met 26 letters for the alphabet?
23:30You got to learn them before you can read, write a spell.
23:34You might become a teacher, we can never, never tell.
23:37Learn and send your words.
23:38Yes, sir.
23:39I hear so much bother.
23:41They go like this.

24:00A, B, C, D, E, F, T, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, C, U, V, W, X, Y, Z.

24:30Learn your ABC's a little better.
24:32You got to know every letter.
24:35Well, boys and girls, if you get in doubt, don't pout, you better watch out. Learn your ABCs a little better, you got to know every letter.

25:22A good day, everyone. I am a worm. Worm begins with this letter, W.
25:29W. It's really the only important thing that does, you know.
25:36Except, of course, for walrus.
25:38And water.

27:09And on her head, a wiry wig.
27:14On Wednesday, in the middle of winter, Wanda walked to the well to get water to wash her wig.
27:22But the wheel on the well was worn, and Wanda grew weary.
27:29So she waved her wand, and her wash tub filled with warm water.
27:35But just as Wanda was about to drop her wig into the warm water, a wild wind whipped the wig from her hand and blew it away forever.
27:47Witch taught Wanda this lesson.
27:50Witches who wash their wigs on windy winter Wednesdays are wacky.
27:55This witch story was brought to you courtesy of the letter W.
28:03Okay, you two, I've got something so tough for you that you may not be able to do it.
28:08Are you ready for it?
28:09Yes.
28:09Okay.
28:09Okay.
28:11Here's what, oh, you know it, don't worry.
28:14Here's how it goes.
28:15You have to say, Wanda witch whistles well.
28:23Wanda witch whistles well.
28:25Okay, I'm going to give it to you once more, and then we're going to do it fast.
28:29Wanda witch whistles well.
28:32Wanda witch whistles well.
28:34Okay.
28:34Wanda witch whistles well.
28:35Faster.
28:36Wanda witch whistles well.
28:37No, you've got it faster.
28:39Wanda witch whistles well.
28:40Try it.
28:42Wanda witch whistles well.
28:44That was okay.
28:45Try it once more.
28:45Wanda.
28:46Fast, fast, fast.
28:47Wanda witch whistles well.
28:49Wanda witch whistles well.

35:13Now, son, I got a few words of advice for you.
35:17In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun.
35:23You find the fun and snap the jobs again.
35:28And every task to undertake becomes a piece of cake.
35:34A lark, a spree
35:37It's very clear to see
35:43That a spoonful of sugar
35:49Helps the medicine go down
35:52The medicine go down
35:54The medicine go down
35:56Just a spoonful of sugar
35:58Helps the medicine go down
36:00In a most delightful way
36:03And now I get it, Paul
36:05Very good, boy
36:06Hi, fellas, what you doing?
36:08I'm always singing a song
36:09Oh, can I hear it?
36:11Sure
36:11You sing it, son
36:12A robin feathering his nest
36:14Is very little time to rest
36:16Very good
36:17While gathering his bits of twine and twigs
36:20Sing out now, boy
36:21Though quite intent in his pursuit
36:23He has a merit to the tune
36:25He knows a song will move the job along
36:30For a spoon
36:33For the sugar
36:35Helps the medicine go down
36:37The medicine go down
36:39The medicine go down
36:41Just a spoonful of sugar
36:43Helps the medicine go down
36:46In a most delightful way
36:49Oh, I like this song!
36:50I don't know what's going on here, Paul
36:52I heard you sing it, Paul
36:54Sing it, Ma
36:54Well, I don't know it, sir
36:55Sing it first, Ma
36:56Sing it now
36:58Tiny bees that catch the nectar
37:00From the flowers and the coons
37:02Every tide of ever buzz into and fro
37:05Because they take a little nip
37:08With every flower that sits
37:10And hence, they find
37:13The task is not a cry
37:16For a spoon
37:20For the sugar
37:22Helps the medicine go down
37:23The medicine go down
37:24The medicine go down
37:25The medicine go down
37:27For a spoon
37:28To the sugar
37:30Helps the medicine go down

39:29story it's called if I were a mother if I were a mother like mother hen I would
39:38wish to have many children and see them play around me and like mother cat with
39:48loving care I would keep them clean and neat you ever seen the mother cat taking
39:54care of her kittens she just washes them and make sure they're nice and clean all
39:58the time and what is more like mother monkey I would check very carefully the
40:05backs of their ears because children like to leave the backs of their ears
40:10and for mothers to check and send them back to the bathroom of course like
40:17mother kangaroo I would carry my baby wherever I go in my arm or in a buggy see
40:24the mother carrying the little baby baby goes everywhere mother goes and like
40:32mother horse I would let my baby stand on his own feet as soon as he's ready
40:42then like mother elephant I would guide him to the right way that is that's
40:48often hard to find see the mother she's holding on to the baby to show him the
40:54right way like mother penguin I would look for their favorite dinner while my
41:02children were in school see all the little penguins going to school that's
41:09mother penguin getting ready to go shopping
41:11like mother bear I would teach them what to eat and how to eat for food should not
41:19always be sweet it's good to eat some of the things you like but there's some
41:26things that mothers have to show you to eat so you grow big and strong like
41:32mother lion I would teach my children not to cry over a scratch or a hurt and cheer
41:38them on to be brave and strong see the line climbing around the baby mother's
41:44watching to make sure he doesn't get into too much trouble yet like mother skunk I
41:51would dare to fight for my children against all harm see the two little skunk
41:56children and there's some big mother she'll take care of him sometimes like
42:06mother goose I would take a long trip it would be fun just following the Sun with
42:11all my family see everybody's going away together on a vacation or like mother
42:22beaver I would build a house by the lake for my children's sake to enjoy camping all
42:27year-round see the children playing while the mother is eating wood see your flat
42:35tail over there oh you can't see it she's got a flat tail that goes around the
42:40bottom there are many ways of being a mother but most of all if I were a mother
42:48I'd like to be just like my mother you know I don't know Bert what does it look
42:55like to you Ernie it looks like the mysterious nose snatcher no I don't think
43:01so Bert oh yeah go nearer you'll see it's the mysterious nose snatcher all right
43:06there I'm nearer now it doesn't look like a nose snatcher to me well you're not
43:10near enough there that's that's about the nearest I can get all right now what do
43:19you think it is yeah I don't know Bert it seems like it's a the mysterious nose
43:25nose snatcher oh my finger oh my toes oh my thumb oh my nose oh my elbow oh my knee oh my face
43:53oh poor me otherwise I feel fine
44:00hurry hurry hurry step right up because I have one thing here which is different from all the rest
44:12which thing here is different from the rest which thing here is wrong well I'll tell you which thing
44:23is different from the rest but after I finish my song now look carefully because one thing and one
44:32thing only is different is it this thing or is it this one or is it this thing here
44:41did you guess which thing is different from the rest now did you answer this one or this one here if you
44:55said that this was different from the rest then your answer my friend is correct I'll bet you answered this one
45:05here because this is the only circle and the rest of all of these are rectangles they all have four sides but this
45:17is the only round one the only circle
45:47so
45:50that
45:54so
49:57Oh, don't worry about it.
50:00You know, one of the most fun things about having a balloon is letting it go, just like that.
50:06I wonder what, I wonder what the world would look like if we were up on that balloon looking
50:12down.
50:14Hey, I tell you what, I'm going to sing you a song, okay?
50:17And we'll imagine that we'll imagine that we're up on that balloon and looking down, okay?
50:26Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon, would you like to glide in my beautiful balloon, would you like to glide in my beautiful balloon?
50:40We could float among the stars?
51:10nicer face in my beautiful balloon, we can sing a song and sail along the silver sky, for we can fly, up and away in my beautiful, my beautiful balloon.
51:31We'll see you in the sky, but we'll see you in the sky.
52:01We'll see you in the sky.
52:31We'll see you in the sky.
52:33We'll see you in the sky.
52:34We'll see you in the sky.
52:36We'll see you in the sky.
52:38We'll see you in the sky.
52:39We'll see you in the sky.
52:40We'll see you in the sky.
52:45Okay, Duncan, Sarah, Carlos, these are two of the greatest box turtles you've ever seen.
52:56We've named them. Which is which? You name them.
52:59This is stay still and let's move on.
53:02This is stay still and let's move on. That's exactly what they're doing.
53:05You know what kind of turtles these are?
53:07Box turtles.
53:08Box turtles, you know that.
53:09But I'll tell you something you may not know.
53:11These are really tortoises.
53:14Do you know the difference between a tortoise and a turtle?
53:17Hi.
53:17Hi, Lord.
53:18Hi, Bob.
53:19Hi, you doing?
53:19Hi.
53:19You know the difference between a tortoise and a turtle?
53:22Ah, not really.
53:24One can live on land, right?
53:26And the other needs water?
53:28Right.
53:28You're right, yeah.
53:29Is that right?
53:29Well, a tortoise is a land turtle.
53:32And a turtle, which is not a tortoise, swims and is in the water.
53:37These are box turtles, right?
53:39These are box turtles, yeah.
53:40Well, they can hide in these shells.
53:44And you know what?
53:45I bet I can get this one to come in.
53:47Watch.
53:48Watch, watch, watch.
53:49Get inside.
53:51Get inside.
53:53Well, you can halfway in there.
53:55They kind of have a hinge on the bottom, right?
53:56You can hinge.
53:57Yeah.
53:58Use that bottom part right up.
53:59Right.
53:59This can go back like that.
54:03But I don't think we should do it because we're kind of interfering in private property.
54:08That's his house.
54:09They're too friendly.
54:11Yeah.
54:11Want to have a turtle race?
54:12Yeah.
54:13Who do you think is going to win?
54:15Move on.
54:16Everybody thinks move on is going to win.
54:18All right?
54:19Tell them ready, get set, go.
54:21Ready, get set, go.
54:23He's off.
54:25He's off.
54:27Come on.
54:28Stay still.
54:29Not that way.
54:30The other way.
54:31Move on wins.
54:32Move on wins.
54:33Move on wins.
54:33Get him back, Duncan.
54:35Move on.
54:36Yeah.
54:36Move on is move on.
54:38Hey, does anybody know what the word turtle begins with?
54:41What letter?
54:41T.
54:42T?
54:42That's right.
54:43But Sesame Street was brought to you by the letter S.
54:47S?
54:47S.
54:48I don't know.
54:53Hi, I'm a seal.
54:58Seal begins with the letter S.
55:04Can you say S?
55:06Try it.
55:08S.
55:10Oh, very good.
55:13Now I want you to listen to a little story.
55:16There are a lot of words in it that begin with the letter S.
55:20Listen for them.
55:21Six silly sailors came skating down our street.
55:30They passed a smiling snowman wearing sneakers on his feet.
55:37Then they spied a schoolyard.
55:40So they took turns on the slide.
55:43And all played on the seesaw.
55:46Three sailors on each side.
55:49Hey, great.
55:51Isn't S a swinging letter, though?
55:54Oh, you bet it is.
55:57Well, see you later.
55:59I'm going to go have a sandwich.
56:05Another nifty S-word?
56:08And Sesame Street was brought to you by the letter E.
56:17This is the letter E.
56:19It's the first letter in the word elephant.
56:24And the word eat.
56:27Luckily, I have another one.
56:28The letter E is also the first letter of the word eagle.
56:34That wasn't very nice.
56:37And it's the first letter of the word everybody.
56:42And the word empty.
56:44And the word egg.
56:53And of course, we can't forget the letter W.
56:55A good day, everyone.
57:00I am a worm.
57:02Worm begins with this letter.
57:05W.
57:06It's really the only important thing that does, you know.
57:12Except, of course, for walrus.
57:15And water.
57:15Water.
57:18How about another race?
57:20Yeah.
57:20Another race.
57:21Another race?
57:22You think we should have another one?
57:23Another one?
57:23I think he's going to sleep.
57:24I'll tell you what I can do.
57:25We can line up on two sides.
57:26Yeah, I want to go into the race.
57:28Well, not yet.
57:29Hey, listen.
57:30You know where we live, right?
57:31So stop by any time you get a chance.
57:33Okay?
57:34See you later.
57:35Let's line up on two sides.
57:37You and you.

57:41Sarah.
57:42You take that side.
57:44Duncan.
57:44Ava.
57:45You take that side.
57:46See if you can get the turtles to come to each other.
57:49Okay?
57:50I'm going to see these turtles.
57:51Huh?

58:02Give them a push.
58:03Give them a push.
58:05See if they're going to come to each other.
58:11Don't go.
58:12I'm going to see the turtles.
