Could you hurry it up?
Baby's coming.
ELMO: Baby?

BIG BIRD: Well, Elmo
has another question.
GORDON: But Big Bird,
this crib is really heavy.
BIG BIRD: But aren't
you always telling us
that asking questions is a good
way to find out about things?
GORDON: Um, right.
BIG BIRD: OK, so what's
your question, Elmo?
ELMO: Oh, well, Elmo wants to
know what's adopting again?
Elmo forgot.
BIG BIRD: Oh.
Well, adopting is when
uh-- when uh-- guys?
GORDON: Well, adoption is
when a child needs someone
to love and take care of them.
LUIS: Yeah, and
then there's someone
who wants a child to
love and take care of.
GORDON: And then
they become a family.
BIG BIRD: Forever and ever.
GORDON: Right.
Just like when Susan and
I adopted Miles, remember?
ELMO: Oh.
Now Elmo remembers.
Gina's gonna be a mommy.
Yeah.
Hahaha.
BIG BIRD: Yeah, and
Gina and the baby
are going to be here any minute.
ELMO: Yeah.
BIG BIRD: Oh.
Gee, any minute.

the baby can't
have too many diapers, huh?
ROSITA: Mi amigos, miren.
Es un mobil para el bebe.
ALL: Huh?
ROSITA: Mobile?
ALL: Oh, mobiles.
Hahaha.
[COOKIE MONSTER BURPING]
COOKIE MONSTER: Excuse me.
ALAN: Why don't we
take all of this stuff
over to Gina's apartment?
ALL: Yeah.
Yeah.
BIG BIRD: The baby's coming.
GORDON: Wait, wait, wait.
Luis, I thought you
measured the doorway.
LUIS: I did.
BOB: Hey, hey guys, wait.
Is there a problem?
GORDON: Yeah, we can't fit
the crib through the door.
BOB: Oh no.
TELLY: They can't fit the
crib through the door?
BIG BIRD: Hey, well the baby's
going to be here any minute.
TELLY: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What if he has to take
a nap or something?
GORDON: Calm down, guys.
We'll figure it out.
TELLY: All right, well, you
can use some help I think.
BIG BIRD: Yeah,
well, we'll help you.
Think, everybody.
Think fast.
BERT: But the
doorway is too big.
That's the problem.
GINA: Hey, everybody,
we're home.
MARIA: Um, what's going on?
GINA: I don't know.
Uh, Big Bird, Big
Bird, what's going on?
BIG BIRD: I can't talk now.
We're trying to get the
crib through the door
because Gina's going to be here
with the baby in a minute now.
GINA: Hahaha.
BIG BIRD: Gina.
Hey.
The baby's here.
Hey, here's Gina.
GINA: Everybody, I would
like you to meet Marco.
ALL: Hi, Marco.
BABY BEAR: Hey, hey, Marco,
we made you some mobiles.

brought you some diapers.
BOB: Actually lots
and lots of diapers.
GINA: Oh, thank you, thank
you so much, everybody.
ROSITA: Oh, can I
help with the baby.
I want to help.
ELMO: Elmo's a good helper.
[CHATTER]
GINA: You know what, actually--
MARIA: Y--y--you know what?
You know what?
You know what, everybody?
What Gina and the baby
mostly need is some rest.
GINA: Yeah.
MARIA: You know, it
was a really long trip.
ALL: Yeah.
GINA: Thank you so much.
Thank you.
All right.
MARIA: Oh, honey, can you
get this crib out of the way?
LUIS: Oh, sure.
Sure.
GINA: Got it?
Thank you.
Thank you, guys.
Come on, Marco.
MARIA: You know
what, sweetheart?
Why don't you take this apart
and carry it upstairs piece
by piece.
And then you can put
it together again.
LUIS: Why didn't
you think of that?
GORDON: Why didn't
I think of that?
Why didn't you think of that?
BIG BIRD: Hey, hey
we have to hurry.
The baby's here.
The baby's here.
GORDON: OK.
LUIS: You start on
that side over there.
I'll get this side here.
GINA: Hey, Marco.
See?
How do you like your new home?
Do you like it?
MARIA: Why don't
you let me have him?
Then you could rest.
GINA: You know what?
I'm OK, really Maria.
Thank you.
Oh.
Oh, OK.
You know what?
I am tired.
MARIA: Yeah, I bet.
[KNOCKING]
GINA: Oh, let me get that.
MARIA: No, no, no.
You sit.
I'll get it.
GINA: Oh, thanks.
BIG BIRD: Hi ho.
The helpers are here.
MARIA: Wow.
Birdketeers.
GINA: Hi, guys.
Look at our friends.
BIG BIRD: Boy,
are you guys lucky
because I'm here to help you,
and so are the Birdketeers
and Elmo.
ELMO: Yeah.
MARIA: Oh, well, that's great.
But did you guys forget
that Gina and the baby
are supposed to be resting?
BIG BIRD: Oh, well, we know.
So while Gina's
resting, we're going
to teach the baby the alphabet.
ELMO: Right.
Hahaha.
MARIA: The alphabet?
GINA: Big Bird,
Marco's just a baby.
BIG BIRD: Oh, you're
never too young to learn
the alphabet, Gina.
So don't worry, you
won't have to do a thing.
Ready, Birdketeers?
BIRDKETEERS: Ready.
BIG BIRD: OK.
ELMO: Ready, baby?
Hahaha.
Baby's ready.
BIG BIRD: Let's do it.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
ALL: [SINGING] A B C D E F G H I
J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y
Z. Now I've sung my ABCs, next
time won't you sing with me?
GINA: OK, thank you.
ELMO: Oh, look, look, look.
Baby likes the alphabet.
BIG BIRD: Yeah,
well, who wouldn't?
MARIA: That was truly helpful.
But if you really
want to help, you
should let Gina and
the baby get some rest.
BIG BIRD: Oh, well, if you
really think that'll help?
MARIA: I really do, Big Bird.
Come on.
BIG BIRD: Well, bye Marco.
Bye, Maria.
MARIA: Oh, thanks.
BIG BIRD: Well, we were only
trying to help, you know.
MARIA: Thank you.
And thank you, Elmo.
Bye.
Adios.
Adios.
GINA: Whew.
You like the alphabet, Marco?
Yes?
[KNOCKING]
MARIA: Now what?
TELLY: Hahaha.
MARIA: Telly?
TELLY: Hi.
Don't worry, Gina.
I'm here to help.
GINA: Gina's going to
get some rest, remember?
TELLY: How can you rest
at a time like this?
GINA: Like what, Telly?
TELLY: We have to know if
the baby is a triangle lover.
MARIA: A triangle lover?
TELLY: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because if he is
a triangle lover,
then we've got a lot of work
cut out for us, a lot of work.
GINA: We do?
TELLY: Yeah, yeah.
But don't worry, I'll give
him the triangle lover's test.
GINA: You know what, Telly?
I don't think Marco
knows a lot about tr--
TELLY: Shhh.
GINA: OK.
TELLY: We must have
absolute quiet.
Absolute quiet.
Now Marco, look
at this triangle.
Look at it.
Do you love it?
Ah ha.
MARIA: Ah ha?
TELLY: You see how he's
looking at the triangle?
He loves the one,
two, three sides.
He loves the one,
two, three angles.
Gina, there's no doubt about it.
Your baby is a triangle lover.
GINA: OK.
MARIA: Well, you
know what, Telly?
Even baby triangle
lovers need to rest,
TELLY: You're right.
You're right.
But don't worry
Gina, I'll be back
to teach Marco everything he
needs to know about triangles.
You won't have to do a thing.
GINA: OK, Telly.
That would be great.
TELLY: See you later,
little triangle lover.
Hahaha.
Bye.
GINA: Ah, so are you a
triangle lover, Marco?
Huh?
What?
MARIA: I hope that's
it on the help.
Now maybe you can get some rest.
[SWOOSHING NOISE]
MAN (OFFSCREEN):
Look up in the sky.
MARIA: Oh no.
MAN (OFFSCREEN): It's a bird.
It's a plane.
It's--
[CRASHING]
MARIA: Super Grover?
Oh, oh, oh.
GROVER: Sorry about
the ceiling, Gina.
But I know a good contractor.
GINA: Uh, Grover, what
are you doing here?
GROVER: I am here to help you.
I heard that you need
help with a baby.
GINA: Actually, no.
I really don't need--
GROVER: Never fear, Gina.
I, Super Grover, know
a lot about babies.
Now, which one of
you is the baby?
MARIA: What?
GROVER: Ah ha.
There you are, baby.
And aren't you the cutest
little baby in the world.
Coochie coochie coo.
Coochie coochie coo.
GINA: Grover?
Grover?
GROVER: Yes?
GINA: That's not the baby.
GROVER: It isn't?
GINA: Mmm hmm.
MARIA: It's a pillow.
GROVER: And a very
cute pillow it is, too.
MARIA: Grover, Grover,
Grover listen to me.
Babies have eyes, and
a nose, and a mouth.
GROVER: I know that.
Ah ha.
Now this is the baby.
And my, what a long
neck baby has too.
Coochie coochie coo.
Coochie coochie coo.
GINA: Grover.
Grover, that's not the baby.
GROVER: But it has eyes, and
nose, and a cute little baby
mouth.
What are you talking about?
MARIA: Yeah, but it's not alive.
It doesn't eat.
It doesn't breathe.
It doesn't grow.
It's a stuffed animal.
GROVER: You know what?
I think you are right, Maria.
This is not a baby.
This is not the baby.
Um, hmmm, maybe I will
ask this very small person
if it has seen the baby.
Um, excuse me,
very small person,
have you seen the baby anywhere?
MARIA: Grover, that is the baby.
GROVER: I found the baby.
I found the baby.
Oh, I knew I could do it.
Gina, this is the baby.
Next time just look
for the small person
with the cute little eyes,
and cute nose, and mouth.
Oh.
Coochie coochie coo.
Well, my work here is done.
I am now off to help other
new mommies in distress.
Up, up and away.
[CRASHING]
MARIA: Grover, why
don't you try the door.
GROVER: The door?
A reasonable alternative.
[MARCO CRYING]
MARIA: He's gone.
Now you can rest.
GINA: Yeah, you know
what I would really like?
I would love some alone
time with the baby.
MARIA: Of course, it's a good
thing all the helpers are gone.
GINA: Um.
Ahem.
MARIA: Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm out of here.
Oh, Maria, thank you.
Thank you so much for
taking care of Marco
and taking care of me.
MARIA: Oh, sure thing.
Bye, Marco.
Bye, mommy.
GINA: Bye.
Thank you.
Oh, did you hear that?
Mommy.
That's me.
I can't believe it.
I'm your mommy now.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
GINA: [SINGING] I'm the
person I've always been.
But things have changed somehow.
Suddenly I'm not just me.
I'm your mommy now.
I'm your mommy now.
I'll take care of you.
I'll do everything
a mommy needs to do.
I'll hold you, and feed
you, and kiss you goodnight.
I'll wake when you wake in
the first morning light.
I'm your mommy now.
Can't believe it's so.
I'll do all I can to
help you as you grow.
I'll share all your dreams.
I'll share all your fears.
I'll smile when you smile
and catch all your tears.
I'm your mommy now.
That's what I want to be.
Together, you and
I will be a family.
[KNOCKING]
ALL: Gina.
BIG BIRD: Yeah, we wanted to
know if you've rested enough.
Have you rested
enough yet, Gina?
ROSITA: Do you need
some help with the baby?
BIG BIRD: Yeah,
we'd like to help.
GINA: Well, guys, you know what?
LUIS: Make way for the crib.
GINA: Oh, the cr--
Oh, this is perfect.
You know what?
It's definitely time
for Marco's nap.
LUIS: Don't worry, Gina.
We'll have this
set up in no time.
BABY BEAR: Hey, you want
me to read him a story?
I can read him
"The Three Bears."
Wait, I mean "The Four Bears."
GINA: Oh, thank you, Baby Bear.
BIG BIRD: And we can
the baby a lullaby.
GINA: It is so nice
of you all to help.
Thank you so much.
OSCAR: OK, where is he?
GINA: Oscar, do not tell
me you came to help.
OSCAR: Ha, are you kidding?
I'm a grouch.
Grouches never help.
No, I just came to
see the baby grouch.
GINA: Oscar, Marco
is not a grouch.
BABY BEAR: No, he's an
adorable little baby.
OSCAR: I'll be
the judge of that.
So kid, you like trash?
Huh?
Well, he didn't answer.
See, I told you he was a grouch.
ALL: Oscar.
OSCAR: Hey, it's
going to be great.
A new grouch on Sesame Street.
And it's about time, too.
ALL: Oscar.
OSCAR: OK, say scram, kid.
Come on, say scram.
GINA: Whew.
Ah.
I am going on a trip because
I am going to adopt a baby.
ELMO: Oh, that's cool.
BIG BIRD: Really?
ELMO: Uh, Gina?
What does adopt mean?
