00:00:40Sesame Street, show number 88 in color.
00:01:22Sunny day, sweeping the clouds away.
00:01:29On my way to where the air is seen, can you tell me how to get, how to get to
00:01:39Sesame Street?
00:01:42Call and play, everything's A-OK.
00:01:49Friendly neighbors there, that's where we meet.
00:01:55Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street?
00:02:01How to get to Sesame Street?
00:02:06Yes?
00:02:08Yes, Oscar.
00:02:09All right, all right.
00:02:11Yes, Oscar.
00:02:13Yes, yes.
00:02:14All right.
00:02:15Oscar, I shall be over in a moment, huh?
00:02:17All right, Oscar.
00:02:18I'll hurry, I'll hurry.
00:02:20Oscar, goodbye.
00:02:23Oh, God.
00:02:24Oh, hello.
00:02:24How are you?
00:02:25Oh, I don't know what's going on today, but we're going to have quite a day.
00:02:29Oscar's starting it.
00:02:30I don't know what's going on with him.
00:02:31I have to go visit him.
00:02:32Excuse me.
00:02:33I'll be right nice to see you.
00:02:36Where is that guy?
00:02:38Huh.
00:02:39Boy, he's taking...
00:02:40Oh.
00:02:41Well, it's about time.
00:02:42What took you so long?
00:02:44What'd you do?
00:02:45Stop and eat lunch on the way?
00:02:47I mean, it's a good thing that my trash can wasn't on fire or something.
00:02:51Boy, you can sure take your time.
00:02:54Oscar, I'd hurried over as soon as I could.
00:02:56I hung up the phone and came right over.
00:02:58Now, what is the matter?
00:02:59Oh, it's awful.
00:03:02I promised to take some of my little grouchy friends to the movies next week.
00:03:07One of the worst movies of all time is playing.
00:03:11It's called The Cowboy and the Meanie, starring Roy Rotten and his horse, Grummy.
00:03:18All the grouches love it.
00:03:20Well, what's wrong?
00:03:22Well, I checked my piggy bank, and I don't have any money to take my little friends to the movies,
00:03:29you know?
00:03:30Oh, that's too bad.
00:03:32Yeah, so I need a job to make some money, but I don't know how to find one.
00:03:36Oscar, you don't have to look any further than me.
00:03:39I've been thinking I can use someone for the next few days to help me around the store,
00:03:42and since Big Bird worked out so well, why not you, huh?
00:03:47I'd be happy to hire you.
00:03:48You would?
00:03:49Yes.
00:03:50Well, what would I do if I worked in your store?
00:03:51Oh, we make sodas and sundaes and whatever help I need around the store you would help
00:03:56me with.
00:03:57Ah, sundaes?
00:03:59Wow, making sundaes.
00:04:00I'm great at making sundaes.
00:04:02Good.
00:04:02I'll start right away.
00:04:03All right.
00:04:05Yeah, boy.
00:04:06I'll make the best sundaes anybody's ever seen.
00:04:09You go ahead back.
00:04:11I'll just get some of my special ingredients, and I'll be with you in a minute.
00:04:14Oh, don't worry about your ingredients.
00:04:16Just bring yourself.
00:04:17See you in a few moments.
00:04:18Oh, boy, yes-siree, Bob.
00:04:21Oscar's got a job, and he's gonna be able to take all his little grouch friends to the
00:04:26movies.
00:04:27Now, let me get my stuff.
00:04:32Oh.
00:04:38Grow and go, roll over the road, where the goat explodes all the o's, and the crow flies
00:04:46low past the croaking toad, and the boat floats over the ocean, but the wind did blow, and
00:04:53it started to snow.
00:04:55So the toad went home to the telephone.
00:04:58He spoke to the goat, who was eating a bowl of bones, potatoes, and soap.
00:05:06A rope did float, and hooked the goat, and a boy climbed a stone made of oak.
00:05:13The o's turned to smoke, and started to float.
00:05:17Closer to the bulldozer, who closed up the hole, so the cold wind could not grow.
00:05:24And the sun did show, so the roses could grow.
00:05:28And the whole world would know, that the boat bulldozer, the toad and the crow, the boy and
00:05:33the rope, riding the goat, we're all okay.
00:05:37Okay?
00:05:41Okay, Mr. Hooper, I'm all set.
00:05:45All right, Oscar, I'll tell you what.
00:05:48Yeah?
00:05:48I'll give you a tryout.
00:05:50Good, good.
00:05:50I'll pretend that I am a customer, and let's see what you can do.
00:05:54Okay.
00:05:55All right, here we go.
00:06:02Hello.
00:06:03What do you want?
00:06:05I'm busy.
00:06:06Why don't you go away and leave it?
00:06:07No, Oscar, that will never do.
00:06:09Number one, you can't be rude to a customer, and you've got to be polite to people.
00:06:14But I don't like people.
00:06:17You still have to be polite.
00:06:19But I've never been polite in my life.
00:06:22Well, if you're going to work in this store, you'll start right now.
00:06:26Number one, you'll have a smile on your face, and you'll say,
00:06:30Hello, how are you?
00:06:31What can I do for you?
00:06:33You're kidding.
00:06:34No, I'm not.
00:06:35So let's try it again.
00:06:36Huh?
00:06:37All right?
00:06:38All right.
00:06:44Hello, young man.
00:06:46Hello.
00:06:47How are you today?
00:06:49Fine, thank you.
00:06:51And how are you?
00:06:52Lousy.
00:06:53No, Oscar.
00:06:54I feel rotten.
00:06:56Oscar, if you're going to work in this store, you have to have a pleasant disposition.
00:07:00You can't tell everyone that you're feeling rotten.
00:07:04All right, all right.
00:07:07I'm feeling peachy today.
00:07:09Thank you for asking.
00:07:11Now, what can I do for you?
00:07:13Well, I would like a sundae.
00:07:15A sundae?
00:07:17Ah, may I suggest that you try one of Oscar's special sundaes?
00:07:22It's the best sundae in the whole world.
00:07:25Fine.
00:07:25Okay, one special sundae coming up.
00:07:30And here's the basic ingredient.
00:07:34A nice big dish.
00:07:36A green stringy spinach.
00:07:39Nice and cold.
00:07:39And to top it off, we pour on a nice big helping of gooey chocolate syrup.
00:07:48And then, there appears to be resistance.
00:07:53A little old pickle right there in the middle.
00:07:57Nice sour pickle.
00:07:58That's Oscar's special sundae.
00:08:00Help yourself, sonny.
00:08:02Oscar, that's probably the worst tasting thing that has ever been made.
00:08:07What do you mean?
00:08:08That's beautiful.
00:08:11Oy, that's delicious.
00:08:13Go ahead, try some.
00:08:14No, thank you.
00:08:15Oscar, what kind of a sundae is it?
00:08:18There isn't even any ice cream in it.
00:08:20Ice cream?
00:08:21I hate ice cream.
00:08:23Well, if you're going to be working here, you're going to be handling a lot of ice cream.
00:08:27Well, let me show you how to make a sundae.
00:08:32First, you take the sundae glass.
00:08:34Then you take a big scoop of ice cream and put it in it.
00:08:39Ice cream, I hate ice cream.
00:08:41I don't even like to be near ice cream.
00:08:44Oscar, it's only ice cream.
00:08:46No, I can't stand it.
00:08:49I can't stand it.
00:08:50It's too much.
00:08:51Listen, Mr. Hooper, no hard feelings.
00:08:53But I think I'm going to have to try to find a job somewhere else.
00:08:57Oh, ice cream.
00:08:59Boy, is that ever yucky.
00:09:02Blah!
00:09:07One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
00:09:17Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.
00:09:22One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven.
00:09:32One, three, three, four, five, six, seven, seven, eight, nine, eight.
00:09:36How many is that ever?
00:09:39Seven straws?
00:09:41One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
00:09:47Seven circles.
00:09:50One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
00:09:56Seven ducks.
00:09:58One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
00:10:06Seven spooky spiders.
00:10:09One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
00:10:16Seven nickels.
00:10:18One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
00:10:24Seven pumpkin pies.
00:10:27Oh!
00:10:41And all my little Grouch friends really want to see that movie real bad.
00:10:46So I'm just going to find a job here.
00:10:48See, there's one listed right there.
00:10:49I figured I'll take that.
00:10:50Oh, yeah.
00:10:51Ernie and Bert have a job listed there for a sitter, huh?
00:10:54That's pretty good.
00:10:55Yeah.
00:10:56Well, I hope so.
00:10:57I don't know what a sitter is, but it doesn't sound like a hard job.
00:11:01I can certainly sit.
00:11:03Yeah, well, I think it's a little more than that.
00:11:06It's like a babysitter.
00:11:07When people have a baby and they have to go out,
00:11:09they want somebody to come in and sit with the baby, you know,
00:11:12take care of the baby and, you know, get it food,
00:11:15make sure it's safe and all that.
00:11:17You can do that, I guess.
00:11:18I don't know.
00:11:19Yeah, but a baby.
00:11:20I'm not sure I'd want to take care of a baby.
00:11:22I'm not too happy about babies.
00:11:24Yeah.
00:11:25But I do need a job, so I'll give it a try.
00:11:29See you later.
00:11:30Hmm, okay, Oscar.
00:11:32You know, I have a feeling that this may not work out.
00:11:35It's Ernie and Bert with a baby and Oscar a babysitter.
00:11:43Come in.
00:11:47Oh, hi there, Oscar Old Grouch.
00:11:49How are you today?
00:11:50Rotten.
00:11:51Oh, I'm sorry to hear that, but it's still good to see you.
00:11:54Hey, what can I do for you?
00:11:55Well, I saw that sign in the window, and I am looking for a job, so...
00:12:00Oh, well, that's great, Oscar Old Buddy.
00:12:02I'm sure you'll be able to handle the job.
00:12:04Well, I hope so.
00:12:05I never took care of a baby before.
00:12:08A baby?
00:12:09Yeah.
00:12:10Sure, you're looking for a babysitter, aren't you?
00:12:12Well, heavens no, Oscar.
00:12:14I'm not looking for a babysitter.
00:12:16You see, I'm looking for a ducky sitter.
00:12:19A what?
00:12:21Yeah, a ducky sitter.
00:12:22Let me introduce you.
00:12:23See, here he is.
00:12:24He's my favorite little pal, my rubber ducky.
00:12:28Ducky, this is Oscar.
00:12:30And Oscar, this is my rubber ducky.
00:12:32You see, Oscar, I need someone to take care of him while I'm out.
00:12:36You want a grown-up grouch like me to take care of a rubber ducky?
00:12:41Sure.
00:12:42Isn't he cute?
00:12:43You want me to waste my time taking care of a dumb rubber ducky?
00:12:49Oh, don't let him hear you say that.
00:12:51Oh, that's okay, fella.
00:12:52He didn't mean it.
00:12:54Well, yes, I'm sure he'll say he's sorry.
00:12:58Oscar, rubber ducky would like you to apologize for what you said about him.
00:13:03Apologize?
00:13:03To a rubber ducky?
00:13:05Well, if you're going to be his ducky sitter, you ought to be friends, so you ought to apologize.
00:13:09Of course, if you don't want the job.
00:13:11No, no, no, no, I want the job.
00:13:14All right, I apologize.
00:13:18Okay, he says he forgives you.
00:13:20He forgives me?
00:13:21Uh, well, that's very nice of him, I suppose.
00:13:26Okay, good.
00:13:27Now, since you've never done it before, I should tell you a few things that a ducky sitter does.
00:13:31Now, the first thing any ducky sitter does is to float the ducky in the tubby so that the ducky
00:13:37can have a nice little swim like this.
00:13:39Float the ducky in the tubby?
00:13:41Well, if you don't want the job, Oscar.
00:13:45Well, I'll float the ducky in the tubby.
00:13:47Then what?
00:13:48Well, then the ducky sitter washes the ducky's cute little head and scrubs his adorable little back like this.
00:13:55Are you kidding?
00:13:56That little bird is about the uncutest, most unadorable thing I've ever seen.
00:14:01Oh, Oscar, if you talk about rubber ducky like that, I don't think, I don't think he'll want you to
00:14:07take care of him.
00:14:07Oh, all right, all right, I'm sorry I said that.
00:14:10Well, he says he's sorry.
00:14:13He says that's okay.
00:14:15He's all heart.
00:14:16Yes, he is, isn't he?
00:14:18Anyway, you'll float him in the tubby and wash his cute little head and scrub his cute little back.
00:14:21And then you'll sing him some happy little songs to help pass the time so that he won't miss you.
00:14:27I'll what?
00:14:28Sing him some happy little songs.
00:14:31Never.
00:14:32Oh, gee, Oscar, old buddy.
00:14:34I mean, I don't like to say this, but there are lots of other ducky sitters around who'd be happy
00:14:39to sing him some happy little songs.
00:14:41So if you don't want the job.
00:14:42Oh, all right, all right.
00:14:44I'll take care of your cute little rubber ducky.
00:14:46Oh, good.
00:14:47And I'll float him in the tubby.
00:14:48And I'll wash his cute little back and scrub his little head.
00:14:52And I'll sing him some happy little songs so he won't miss you.
00:14:56Okay?
00:14:57Gee, Oscar, that's terrific.
00:14:58I'm going to go out now for a while so you can start right now.
00:15:01Great.
00:15:03What's that little fellow?
00:15:06Oh, gee.
00:15:09Mm-hmm.
00:15:10Oh, well, I'm glad you feel that way.
00:15:13You know what the cute little fellow just told me?
00:15:15I couldn't guess.
00:15:16Yeah, he just told me that he never wanted to be separated from me.
00:15:20He wants to go wherever I go and be with me all the time.
00:15:24Yes, and I feel the same way about you too, fella.
00:15:27No, I'll never leave you.
00:15:30Mm-hmm.
00:15:31Okay, so I guess I won't need a ducky sitter after all, Oscar.
00:15:33Thanks anyway.
00:15:34I'll see you later.
00:15:35Ah!
00:15:40Oh.
00:15:43Open.
00:15:55So let me tell you about Oscar.
00:15:57Oscar wanted a job, right?
00:16:00What did he do?
00:16:01He went down to Mr. Hooper's store.
00:16:03He got down there, and Mr. Hooper had a job for him,
00:16:06but it involved ice cream.
00:16:09You know how grouches are about ice cream.
00:16:10They don't like it, right?
00:16:12So he quit it, put it down, right there on the spot.
00:16:14Then he came down to Ernie and Bert's.
00:16:17Got down there, saw this sign.
00:16:18It said, sitter wanted, apply within.
00:16:21As soon as he saw that, he figured he had a good job,
00:16:23because he'd only have to sit down, right?
00:16:25Nothing to do, no work.
00:16:26Then I told him that it was really like babysitting.
00:16:29You know what that is, right?
00:16:30Somebody comes to stay with you.
00:16:32And he got inside and found out he really had to sit
00:16:34with Ernie's rubber ducky.
00:16:36So that didn't make it too well, so he pulled out of there.
00:16:38Now, I don't know what he's going to do next.
00:16:41Beautiful things for sale.
00:16:42Come by, you beautiful things.
00:16:45Let's go down here and see what you say.
00:16:46The loveliest things in the world are for sale right here.
00:16:49Oscar, Oscar, hold on for a second.
00:16:52For sale, beautiful things?
00:16:54That's right.
00:16:54You are selling beautiful things?
00:16:56That's right.
00:16:57Okay, well, now, I'd like to be your first customer,
00:17:00if you don't mind.
00:17:01Well, all right.
00:17:02You know, those other jobs didn't work out,
00:17:04so I've given myself this job of selling my beautiful things.
00:17:10And since you're interested in buying,
00:17:12let me show you what I've got for sale, all right?
00:17:16Are you ready?
00:17:17Yeah, come on, let's go.
00:17:18Get your wallets ready,
00:17:19because will you see what I've got right here?
00:17:21Let's see what he's got down here.
00:17:22Look at this.
00:17:24A beautiful, delicious ham and cheese sandwich.
00:17:28A ham and cheese sandwich?
00:17:29That's right.
00:17:30Well, I guess maybe we can buy this.
00:17:33All right.
00:17:33I don't know.
00:17:34That's good, because you're getting a beautiful, delicious,
00:17:37three-month-old ham and cheese sandwich.
00:17:40Three months old?
00:17:42Yeah, sure.
00:17:43Oh, what do you guys think about that, huh?
00:17:45What?
00:17:46No, no, no good.
00:17:48I'm sorry, Oscar.
00:17:49The board voted, and then they don't really go for it.
00:17:52How come you don't want it?
00:17:53Well, you can't eat a three-month-old sandwich.
00:17:56Well, who said anything about eating it?
00:17:59You just look at it, and it brings back pleasant memories.
00:18:04Why, this sandwich is left over from the time
00:18:07that us grouches went on a picnic.
00:18:09And no sooner that we sat down, it started to rain,
00:18:13and the rain ruined the picnic.
00:18:15It was beautiful.
00:18:16You like that?
00:18:16What a storm.
00:18:17The sandwich makes me think of that terrible day.
00:18:20So, I'm willing to sell you this wonderful sandwich
00:18:24for 25 little cents.
00:18:27I'll take another vote.
00:18:28What do you think?
00:18:29Huh?
00:18:30No, no, no.
00:18:31Still no good.
00:18:32Back into the archives.
00:18:33What else are you selling?
00:18:35Ah, where do you see this?
00:18:36Three-month-old sandwich.

00:18:52Well, that sneaker, you were...
00:18:54That sneaker brings back beautiful memories.
00:18:59Ah, this is the sneaker that I was wearing
00:19:01when I was in the championship stickball game.
00:19:05I struck out with all the bases loaded,
00:19:08and I lost the championship for our team.
00:19:11That's good.
00:19:11You lost with a...

00:19:37When Oscar comes up, whatever he's got,
00:19:39I'm going to buy it for a quarter,
00:19:41because he couldn't get a job, right,
00:19:43and he needs the money, so I'll buy it, okay?
00:19:45It doesn't make any difference what he's got.
00:19:47Here it is, the most beautiful thing of all.
00:19:51What is that?
00:19:52It's a beautiful jar of mud.
00:19:54A jar of mud?
00:19:56Yeah, I got it the day that I saw little Sally Jones
00:19:59trip and fall in a mud puddle, face down, what a mess.
00:20:04So I ran over, and I scooped up this mud
00:20:07so I'd never forget that beautiful day,
00:20:09and I put it in this jar,
00:20:10and I'll let you have it for only 25 cents.
00:20:14Okay, Oscar, I'll buy it.
00:20:17You will?
00:20:18Yeah, I'll buy it, 25 cents.
00:20:21I, I, I, I can't.
00:20:24I can't.
00:20:25No, no, no, not my jar of mud.
00:20:28No, it's too beautiful.
00:20:29I can't sell it.

00:20:33Well, then what about, uh,
00:20:34look, I'll buy you a sneaker.
00:20:35I'll buy the old sneaker.

00:20:3825 cents for that beautiful sneaker?
00:20:40Yeah, 25 cents.
00:20:42No, it means too much to me, no.
00:20:44Oh, good.
00:20:45All right, Oscar, I will buy
00:20:47the three-month-old ham and cheese sandwich.

00:20:54I can't sell any of my beautiful things.
00:20:57They mean too much to me.

00:21:11Hello, young fella.
00:21:13Glad to meet you.
00:21:14How'd you like to buy a Z?
00:21:16Very useful for talking and writing.
00:21:18Allow me to demonstrate words that begin with Z.

00:21:29And zany.
00:21:31All right, my man, how about it?
00:21:33This beautiful Z had a great zaving.
00:21:36Zaving, you get it?
00:21:39Possibly you still don't realize Z's uses.
00:21:42For instance, zip and zigzag.

00:23:26Finally, Z is for zero. And zero means nothing.
00:23:41It's no use. I couldn't even give myself a job. That's how hopeless things are.
00:23:49Oscar, the kind of job that you'd be satisfied with would be one where all you had to do was
00:23:54sit around all day long and just look at junky things.
00:23:57A job with no people around, too. Yeah. You're both right. But where am I ever gonna find a job

00:33:51Thanks for playing our game.
00:33:54It was a lot of fun.
00:33:55I'm afraid that's all the time we have for today.
00:33:58So this is Guy Smiley taking so long from the Mr. and Mrs. game.
00:34:09Oh, hello.
00:34:11I, uh, I was looking at this book about Clyde, the African lion.
00:34:17It's a lot of fun.
00:34:19It's nice to see animals eating, playing, resting.
00:35:01It's a lot of fun.
00:39:07Okay, let's see.
00:39:09Now, that's one for you and one for me and one more for you and one for me.
00:39:17There.
00:39:18Now, we've divided all the jelly beans up, all divided evenly, share and share alike,
00:39:22Burt, old buddy.
00:39:23Right.
00:39:24Now, just for safety, let's just count them to make sure.
00:39:26Okay.
00:39:27Now, I have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven jelly beans, and you've got one, two,
00:39:38three, four, five, six jelly beans.
00:39:41Wait a minute.
00:39:42Well, there's something wrong here.
00:39:43Yeah.
00:39:44Because I have seven jelly beans, because I have seven jelly beans, and you have only six.
00:39:48So, I think what we should do is I'll take one of my jelly beans and give it to you.
00:39:53Okay.
00:39:54Right?
00:39:54Yeah.
00:39:54Now, let's see that.
00:39:57Now, you have, at this point, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven jelly beans, and I've
00:40:07got one, two, three, four, five, six.
00:40:13Uh, wait a minute.
00:40:14Uh, here, and you see, there's some mistake now.
00:40:18It's true.
00:40:19Now, I've got seven here.
00:40:20Yes.
00:40:21And you've got six over there.
00:40:23Right.
00:40:23Let's see.
00:40:24Oh, I know.
00:40:25Yeah.
00:40:26Now, you take one of these, one of mine.
00:40:28All right.
00:40:29And put it over there.
00:40:30Take this jelly bean.
00:40:31Good.
00:40:31Now, you'll have seven beans just like me.
00:40:35Oh, thank you, Burt.
00:40:36Sure.
00:40:36Now, that should even everything up.
00:40:38Of course.
00:40:38Let's see.
00:40:38Now, I have, uh, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven jelly beans.
00:40:44Soldier.
00:40:44And you've got one, two, three, four, five, six.
00:40:49Wow.
00:40:50Wait a minute.
00:40:51Hold it.
00:40:51Hold it.
00:40:52I think I've got it.
00:40:53I've got it.
00:40:54Uh, let's see.
00:40:54Now, you have one, two, three, four, five, six jelly beans.
00:40:58Yeah.
00:40:58And I've got one, two, three, four, five, six.
00:41:02And this jelly bean right here, which is the problem, we just get rid of.

00:43:31One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
00:43:38Sarah, what's the first letter in your name?
00:43:41S.
00:43:41S.
00:43:42Very good.
00:43:43Vanessa, what's the first letter in Vanessa?
00:43:45V.
00:43:46V.
00:43:47Okay.
00:43:47Now, who have we had trouble with today?
00:43:49What's the first letter in Oscar?
00:43:51O.
00:43:52Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, something's happening up here.
00:43:55Let's look.
00:43:56What is it?
00:43:58Oh, that's a skywriter.
00:44:01It's a skywriter.
00:44:03There he is.
00:44:04Letter writing Lewis, one of the great skywriters of all times.
00:44:07He's up there in an airplane.
00:44:08Oh.
00:44:09Look at him.
00:44:10And he's making what?
00:44:12That could be an N.
00:44:13It looks like a C.
00:44:14It couldn't be an N.
00:44:15Could go down C?
00:44:16It could be a C, yeah.
00:44:19No.
00:44:20A.
00:44:21Huh?
00:44:22A what?
00:44:22A.
00:44:23No, it couldn't be an A.
00:44:24No, it's coming around a circle.
00:44:26Well, if it stops right, no, but it won't stop.
00:44:29It's going right up and wrapping up.
00:44:31It is an O.
00:44:34It's an O.
00:44:35How about that?
00:44:38Uh, skywriters, too much.
00:44:40Letter writing Lewis.
00:44:42Made an O.
00:44:42Made an O for us.
00:44:44You know, well, that is the first letter in the word Oscar, the name Oscar, right?
00:44:47We said that.
00:44:48Hmm?
00:44:49So you gave us a big hint.
00:44:51I didn't give you a big hint.
00:44:52No.
00:44:53Because I can think of a lot of words that start with the letter O.
00:44:56You know that?
00:44:56How about, uh, what's got a lot of water in it?
00:45:00Ocean.
00:45:01Ocean.
00:45:01That starts with the letter O.
00:45:02That's right.
00:45:03It's another O word.
00:45:04And I can think of an animal that lives in the ocean, and his name begins with the letter O.
00:45:12It's a fish kind of animal with eight legs.
00:45:16An octopus.
00:45:18Octopus.
00:45:19That's right.
00:45:19He has eight arms, and he's called an octopus.
00:45:23One for the fiddle.
00:45:26Two for the bow.
00:45:29Three for the trumpet.
00:45:31And four to blow.
00:45:34Five for the drum.
00:45:37Six for the stick.
00:45:40Seven for the guitar.
00:45:43Eight for the pick.
00:45:46Nine for the piano.
00:45:49Ten for the hand.
00:45:52Hooray for the octopus.
00:45:54One man band.
00:46:04One for the fiddle.
00:46:06Two for the bow.
00:46:07Three for the trumpet.
00:46:09And four to blow.
00:46:10Five for the drum.
00:46:12Six for the stick.
00:46:13Seven for the guitar.
00:46:15Eight for the pick.
00:46:16Nine for the piano.
00:46:17Ten for the hand.
00:46:19Hooray for the octopus.
00:46:20One man band.
00:46:21Ten for the piano.
00:46:28Hello.
00:46:29Today, my friends and I are going to teach you about forwards and backwards.
00:46:35Now, are you ready, friends?
00:46:36Oh, yeah.
00:46:37Sure.
00:46:37Yeah, we're ready, sure.
00:46:38Okay, ready?
00:46:39Now, the first thing we're going to teach you is forwards.
00:46:42Okay, guys, forwards!
00:46:44Forwards!
00:46:50Yeah, that was good.
00:46:53That was forwards.
00:46:56Now, my friends and I are going to teach you about backwards.
00:47:01You ready?
00:47:02Okay, backwards!
00:47:04Backwards!
00:47:11Oh, boy.
00:47:13Yeah, now, I'll do this once more.
00:47:17I'll be a bit more careful now, though, but I'll do it once more time.
00:47:20Once more.
00:47:21And this time, we're going to do it forwards.
00:47:24Okay, forwards!
00:47:26Forwards!
00:47:27Yes!
00:47:32Where'd they come from?
00:47:34Oh, boy.
00:47:35Isn't this fun, huh?
00:47:36Oh, yeah.
00:47:37Well, now, we're going to try it once more, and I'm going to get out of the way, and we're
00:47:43going to do it backwards, okay?
00:47:46Now, we're going to do it backwards now, and here's going to be a really great thing.
00:47:50Okay, guys, backwards!
00:47:52Backwards!
00:48:00You see?
00:48:03It doesn't matter which direction you walk, just so you face backwards.
00:48:09Now, this is backwards.
00:48:09Shh.
00:48:10Come on.
00:48:11Let's go ahead.
00:48:12Let's go ahead.
00:48:14Let's go ahead.
00:48:14Oh-ho.
00:48:16Oh-ho.
00:48:18They think they can fool me, huh?
00:48:20OK.
00:48:22OK, guys.
00:48:23I know where you are, and now we're going to walk forward.
00:48:26OK, forward!
00:48:27Forward!
00:48:28Woo-hoo!
00:48:29Woo-hoo!
00:48:30Woo-hoo!
00:48:32Wow.
00:48:35You know, I don't think I want to talk about this.
00:48:39Forwards and backwards anymore.
00:48:42No more?
00:48:43No more.
00:48:44Oh.
00:48:45Shh.
00:48:47Forward.
00:48:57Backward.
00:49:05Hello there.
00:49:07I am a goat.
00:49:08Goat.
00:49:08Goat begins with the letter G.
00:49:11Uh-oh.
00:49:13This is the letter G.
00:49:16G has a ga sound, as in gopher or gorilla.
00:49:22I wanted to show you something that begins with the letter G, but I couldn't find a single thing.
00:49:28Wait!
00:49:30There is something.
00:49:32Ah.
00:49:33Right here.
00:49:35Grass.
00:49:41G.
00:49:43Gorilla.
00:49:46Gorilla.
00:49:50G.
00:49:50Gorilla.
00:49:54G.
00:49:56G.
00:49:56G.
00:49:57G.
00:49:58G.
00:50:10G.
00:50:11Gone with the wind
00:50:14Just like a leaflet has blown away
00:50:19Gone with the wind
00:50:22My romance has blown away
00:50:28Yesterday's kisses
00:50:31Are still on my lips
00:50:36I had a lifetime of heaven
00:50:41At my fingertips
00:50:49Now all is gone
00:50:52God is the rapture
00:50:56Thrilled by heart
00:50:58Gone with the wind
00:51:02The gladness that filled my heart
00:51:07Just like a flame
00:51:11Love burned brightly that became
00:51:15An empty smoke stream that has gone
00:51:20Gone with the wind
00:51:28La, la, la, la, la
00:51:34Gone with the wind
00:51:38The gladness that filled my heart
00:51:44Just like a flame
00:51:47Love burned brightly that became
00:51:54Of empty smoke stream that has gone
00:51:59Gone with the wind
00:52:15What's the matter with the shoulder?
00:52:16It has a big lump on it
00:52:18Well, yeah, they fall down and get skinned up the same way you do
00:52:21That one
00:52:26Their feathers are just starting to come now
00:52:37I wish they weren't so piggy
00:52:40You wish they weren't so what?
00:52:42Piggy
00:52:42Piggy?
00:52:43You mean they eat too much?
00:52:44Yeah
00:52:45Well, they're growing
00:52:46And they all get in there
00:52:48And they all get in there
00:52:49They're three weeks old
00:52:53Is that as old as Oscar's three-month-old sandwich?
00:52:56No
00:52:56No
00:52:57Three weeks is a shorter time than three months
00:53:00It certainly is
00:53:07They're not ready to lay eggs yet
00:53:09No, of course not
00:53:10It depends on the girl or the boy
00:53:15It does?
00:53:16Boys don't lay eggs
00:53:18Boys what don't lay eggs?
00:53:20Boy chickens
00:53:21Oh
00:53:21All right
00:53:22You say so, Sarah
00:53:28I guess that girl chickens lay eggs
00:53:31They do
00:53:32Oh, okay
00:53:37Hmm
00:53:37Well, you're looking at all those chickens
00:53:40Now let's watch a whole family of animals
00:54:10Oh
00:54:11Ooh
00:54:11All right
00:54:36All right
00:54:39Ooh
00:54:39Ooh
00:54:39Ooh
00:54:39Oh, my God.

00:55:24Yeah?
00:55:24Come on. Hey, Bert, it's done.
00:55:25Well, what's done?
00:55:26The story I just wrote.
00:55:27Story?
00:55:28Greatest story in the whole wide world.
00:55:29Oh, yeah?
00:55:30Hey, let me read it to you.
00:55:31Well, is it going to take long?
00:55:32Oh, no, it's just a short story, Bert.
00:55:34All right, read it to me.
00:55:35Okay, you're going to love this story. It's the greatest story in the world.
00:55:37Yeah, just read it to me, Ernie.
00:55:38Okay, you ready?
00:55:39Yeah, I'm ready.
00:55:40Here it comes.
00:55:43A, B, C, D, E, F, G.
00:55:50Now comes the sad part.
00:55:53H, I, J, K.
00:55:58Ernie.
00:56:03Here, now listen to this. This is the action part that starts now.
00:56:09Yeah.
00:56:10Q, R, S, T, U.
00:56:12Ernie, that's the alphabet.
00:56:13Oh, but listen to the windup.
00:56:15V, W, X, Y.
00:56:25Well?
00:56:26Well, what?
00:56:27Well, finish it. Go ahead.
00:56:29You went U, V, W, X, Y.
00:56:32And you stopped there.
00:56:34Go ahead, finish it.
00:56:35What?
00:56:36And tell you how the story ends?
00:56:38Then you'll never want to read it.
00:56:39You, V, X, Y.
00:56:46I, Y, Y.
00:57:09Let's go.
00:58:29What's the matter?
00:58:31I'm broken.
00:58:32I'm broken.
00:58:43I'm broken.
00:58:51All these chickens were swinging so much that even Nico came down to join us.
00:58:55You like the chickens, Nico?
00:58:57Okay.
00:58:57Well, before we lay an egg, we'll chicken out and leave.
00:59:00But you come back and join us, okay?
00:59:02See you later.
00:59:03See you soon.
00:59:03Come back and join us.

00:59:13and 7.
00:59:19Sesame Street is a production of the Children's Television Workshop.
00:59:42This is NET, the public television network.
00:59:47And we'll see you later.
00:59:51Since we've been here.
00:59:53We'll see you later.
