GORDON: I'm Gordon from
Sesame Street.
Every year, there are a number
of natural disasters that
affect many people.
Even if you are not directly
affected, the television
coverage of these events
can be scary,
especially to young children.
Several years ago, we featured
a week-long story about a
hurricane on Sesame Street.
This storyline allowed us
to provide children with
strategies to help them cope
with their emotions when faced
with a natural disaster.
So watch with your child and
talk about any fears or
concerns he or she might have.
[MUSIC PLAYING - SESAME
STREET THEME]
CHILDREN: [SINGING]
Can you tell me how to get, can
you tell me how to get--
Sunny day sweeping
the clouds away.
On my way to where
the air is sweet.
Can you tell me how to get, how
to get to Sesame Street?
Can you tell me how to get--
Come and play.
Everything's A-OK.
Friendly neighbors there,
that's where we meet.
Can you tell me how to get, how
to get to Sesame Street?
Can you tell me how to
get to Sesame Street?
[LAUGHING]
MARIA: Hi.
Welcome to Sesame Street.
Look at this.
LUIS: The hurricane
made a real mess.
There was so much
wind and rain.
MILES: Yeah, but we'll have
everything cleaned up soon.
LUIS: Oh, yeah.
ALAN: Hey, thanks for helping
me clean up, Miles.
MILES: No problem.
GABI: I can't believe
the hurricane blew
away the tire swing.
MILES: Boy, that
was some wind.
BIG BIRD: Well, Radar, the
hurricane is all over.
Now we can go back
home to my nest.
Wow.
Look at this mess.
Don't worry, Radar.
Everybody's cleaning
it all up.
GORDON: Wow, the street really
is a mess, Big Bird.
But it doesn't look like there's
been too much damage.
Thank goodness Oscar
went to Bob's.
BIG BIRD: And his trash
can was there, too.
GORDON: Yeah.
BIG BIRD: Oh, oh no.
I wonder if my nest is a mess.
Now come on, Radar,
let's go see.
GORDON: You know
what, Big Bird?
I'll go with you.
BIG BIRD: Oh, OK,
Gordon, thanks.
Oh, wow, look at
all this stuff.
GORDON: Yeah.
BIG BIRD: Wow.
Whew.
Oh, wow, look at the doors.
GORDON: Oh, I see.
BIG BIRD: Oh.
GORDON: Wow, that was some
strong wind last night.
BIG BIRD: Jeepers.
Well, what about my nest?
GORDON: Oh my.
BIG BIRD: Oh--
Gordon.
GORDON: Oh no.
BIG BIRD: My home!
My nest, my everything.
GORDON: Big Bird, Big Bird,
Big Bird, it's all right.
It's all right.
BIG BIRD: No it's not.
GORDON: You're right, you're
right, Big Bird.
It's not all right.
But it will be all right.
BIG BIRD: But my nest.
What happened to my nest?
GORDON: Well, the wind
was so strong that it
just blew it all apart.
BIG BIRD: Oh no.
Oh, [CRYING].
GORDON: It's all right,
Big Bird.
I'm here with you.
WOMAN: Oh boy.
[MUTTERING]
WOMAN: What a mess.
MAN: I can't believe the wind
can do all that, you know?
BIG BIRD: My nest, my home.
MARIA: Don't worry, Big Bird.
We're all going to help you, and
we're going to fix this.
BIG BIRD: My nest, my home.
GABI: Yeah, Big Bird.
My mom and dad are great at
fixing things, remember?
BIG BIRD: My nest, my home.
LUIS: Hey everybody, I
think I have a plan.
BIG BIRD: My nest, my home.
LUIS: Yeah, well, that's what
this is about, Big Bird,
fixing up your home.
As we can see, there's been
a lot of damage done here.
BIG BIRD: A lot of damage?
Oh my nest, my home.
MARIA: Well, that's what
Luis is trying to
tell you, Big Bird.
We can fix this.
BIG BIRD: Really?
MARIA: Yes.
LUIS: Yeah, I can fix these
doors up like new.
BIG BIRD: Oh.
But I want them just like old.
LUIS: Well, that's
what I mean.
I mean we'll all
work together.
And we'll clean this place
up and make it just
like the way it was.
We'll put the doors up
and the mailbox.
BIG BIRD: Oh.
OK.
Ha ha, so we could be home
tonight, sleeping in my nest.
Do you hear that, Radar?
We'll be home tonight.
MARIA: No, no, no, Big Bird.
We can't get it all
done by tonight.
GORDON: Even with everybody
working together, Big Bird,
it's a lot of work.
ALAN: It's just going to take
some time, Big Bird.
BIG BIRD: But time--
my nest, my home.
Where will I stay?
WOMAN: You can stay with us.
GORDON: You can come hang
at our place tonight.
[EVERYONE OFFERING HELP]
BIG BIRD: But I can't
stay with everybody.
I'm only one bird.
SUSAN: Oh, but Big Bird, there's
lots of birdseed stew
left at our house
from last night.
GORDON: Yep.
BIG BIRD: Oh, OK.
Then I'll stay with you.
Thanks a lot, Susan.
SUSAN: Oh, you're welcome.
MARIA: OK, let's get to work.
PEOPLE: All right.
BIG BIRD: My nest, my home.
LUIS: Oh, Big Bird,
we need your help.
BIG BIRD: Me?
GORDON: Yeah, well it's
your nest, your home.
You can show us where
everything goes.
LUIS: Like where the doors go.
BIG BIRD: Oh.
Well that's easy.
The blue doors go right here.
And then there's the
kind of pinky door.
And then there's that
peach-colored one that goes
over there.
ALAN: All right.
What about the mailbox,
Big Bird?
BIG BIRD: Oh, I'll show you.
MARIA: OK.
Step right in here.
Careful, now, Big Bird.
Right there.
All right.
Good.
BIG BIRD: Right over here.
MARIA: Yeah.
SNUFFLEUPAGUS: Bird.
Oh, Bird.
Hey, Bird, what--
Bird!
Your nest, your home.
What happened?
BIG BIRD: The hurricane
happened, Snuff.
SNUFFLEUPAGUS: Oh dear.
Poor bird.
Oh, that makes me feel sad.
BIG BIRD: Oh, why do you
feel sad, Snuffy?
SNUFFLEUPAGUS: Because the
hurricane messed up your
beautiful home, Bird.
BIG BIRD: Oh yeah.
I feel sad, too.
My nest, my home.
SNUFFLEUPAGUS: Oh dear.
GORDON: Say, Big Bird.
Where does this phone go?
BIG BIRD: Oh, it used to be
on that post right there.
GORDON: Right there?
Oh, OK.
BIG BIRD: Thanks, Gordon.
GORDON: Gosh, Bird.
You sure do have a lot of
friends helping you clean up.
BIG BIRD: Yeah.
They are fixing it
all up for me.
SNUFFLEUPAGUS: Hey, Bird.
That makes me feel happy.
BIG BIRD: Really?
SNUFFLEUPAGUS: Yeah.
Even though the hurricane blew
away your nest, it didn't blow
away your friends.
BIG BIRD: Ha ha, that's
true, Snuffy.
MARIA: Hey, Big Bird,
where does this go?
BIG BIRD: Gee, Maria,
I don't know.
It's not mine.
WOMAN: Oh, my hat.
There it is.
Oh, the hurricane
blew it away.
I love this hat.
Oh, I was so sad.
Now I'm happy.
You're so kind.
Ta ta.
SNUFFLEUPAGUS: Bird, everyone's
doing such a great
job to fix up your nest.
BIG BIRD: Yeah.
Oh gosh, I just thought
of something, Snuffy.
SNUFFLEUPAGUS: What, Bird?
BIG BIRD: Do you know
what time it is?
You know what we usually
do now, Snuff?
SNUFFLEUPAGUS: What, Bird?
BIG BIRD: We sing the
alphabet song.
SNUFFLEUPAGUS: You're right.
It's alphabet time.
BIG BIRD: Yeah, but Snuffy?
SNUFFLEUPAGUS: Mm-hmm?
BIG BIRD: You know what?
SNUFFLEUPAGUS: What?
BIG BIRD: We usually sing it in
my nest, near my alphabet
sign, which is usually
up there.
SNUFFLEUPAGUS: Oh.
I guess it got blown away
in the hurricane.
GABI: Big Bird, what's this?
BIG BIRD: Oh, that's it.
That's my alphabet sign.
SNUFFLEUPAGUS: Hey, Bird.
I've got an idea.
BIG BIRD: What?
SNUFFLEUPAGUS: There may have
been a hurricane, but we can
still have alphabet time.
BIG BIRD: We can?
SNUFFLEUPAGUS: Yeah.
Yeah, maybe we can have
it right out here.
BIG BIRD: Out here?
SNUFFLEUPAGUS: Gabi, Miles,
kids, could you bring that
sign over here, please?
GABI: Sure.
SNUFFLEUPAGUS: Just hold
it right up there.
MILES: Like this?
BIG BIRD: Snuffy,
you're a genius.
SNUFFLEUPAGUS: Not
so fast, Bird.
I'm not sure that this
is going to work.
All right, let's try singing
the ABC song, everybody.
You can sing along
too, if you want.
BIG BIRD: OK, let's try it.
SNUFFLEUPAGUS: Everybody.
And--
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, and Z. Now
I've sung my ABC.
Next time, won't you
sing with me?
SNUFFLEUPAGUS: Hey, we did it!
It worked.
BIG BIRD: Like I said, you're
a genius, Snuffy.
SNUFFLEUPAGUS: Oh.
MILES: So Big Bird, where
does this go?
BIG BIRD: Oh, up above where
my nest used to be.
MILES: All right.
GABI: OK.
Come on, guys.
BIG BIRD: Thanks, kids.
SNUFFLEUPAGUS: Hey, Bird.
My stomach is all rumbly.
That means it's time for
me to go home and
get my Snuffle snack.
BIG BIRD: Oh, OK, Snuffy.
Well, thanks a lot.
You made me feel better.
SNUFFLEUPAGUS: OK.
Buh-bye, Bird.
BIG BIRD: Bye, Snuffy.
You're a genius.
SNUFFLEUPAGUS: See you later.
BIG BIRD: Genius.
Gee, and now it's time for me to
go sit in my nest and have
my birdseed snack.
But I don't have a nest, and
I don't have any birdseed.
It all got blown away.
What's a bird to do?
ALAN: Hey, Big Bird.
BIG BIRD: Yeah?
ALAN: I could make
you a birdseed
snack over at Hooper's.
BIG BIRD: You could?
ALAN: Sure.
BIG BIRD: Really?
ALAN: Come on.
What would you like?
BIG BIRD: OK, well, how about
some birdseed cookies?
ALAN: Yes, I can do that.
BIG BIRD: Maybe I could have
some birdseed milkshake?
ALAN: OK, yeah.
BIG BIRD: How about
a birdseed pizza?
I'm
ALAN: Sure.
BIG BIRD: Have you got any
birdseed ice cream?
ALAN: Birdseed ice cream?
BIG BIRD: Yeah.
So Alan gave me a birdseed
snack, and then Baby Bear,
Elmo, and Alan sang me a
lullaby, and I took my nap
right in Hooper's Store.
GORDON: Oh.
Well, I'm glad you got to
take your nap, Big Bird.
BIG BIRD: Yeah, it was nice.
GORDON: Mm-hmm.
BIG BIRD: Oh.
Oh, yeah.
GORDON: What--
Big Bird, where are you going?
BIG BIRD: Oh, I've got to go
take a look out the kitchen
window and see how
my nest is doing.
[SIGH]
Oh boy.
SUSAN: That sounded like
a sad sigh, Big Bird.
GORDON: Yeah.
BIG BIRD: Yeah, well I
do feel sad, Susan.
I looked at my nest, and
it's my home, you know?
It's still not ready.
GORDON: Yeah, yeah.
We know, Big Bird.
But you know, you always
have a home with us.
BIG BIRD: Oh yeah.
Nice, thank you.
SUSAN: You know, we're going
to have dinner soon, but is
there something you'd like
to do before we eat?
BIG BIRD: Well, you know,
Baby Bear drew a
picture during the hurricane.
And he said it made
him feel better.
So I think maybe I'd like
to draw a picture.
GORDON: Yeah.
BIG BIRD: But you know what?
I don't have anything to draw
with because the hurricane
blew everything away.
GORDON: Oh.
Well you know, Big Bird,
we've got crayons
and paper right here.
BIG BIRD: Oh wow.
GORDON: Yeah.
Here you go.
BIG BIRD: Oh boy.
SUSAN: This is great.
What are you going to
draw, Big Bird?
BIG BIRD: Well, let's see.
I think I'd like to draw a
picture of my nest, my home,
before the hurricane messed
everything up.
GORDON: Hey, now that's
a good idea.
All right.
You know, we're going to
go get dinner ready
while you draw, OK?
BIG BIRD: Oh yum yum.
GORDON: All right.
SUSAN: OK.
Bye bye.
GORDON: See you.
So how's the picture
coming, Big Bird?
BIG BIRD: Gordon, I
just finished it.
GORDON: Oh great.
Can I see?
BIG BIRD: Sure.
Ta-da.
GORDON: Hey.
BIG BIRD: See?
It's a picture of my home
before the hurricane.
There's my nest, my mailbox, my
alphabet sign, toy chest.
That's me in my nest
with Radar.
Radar's very happy because
he's home.
GORDON: And you know, you look
happy too, Big Bird.
BIG BIRD: Well, I'm happy
in the picture, Gordon.
GORDON: Mm-hmm.
BIG BIRD: Because that's the
way things used to be.
GORDON: And you know
what, Big Bird?
That's the way things are going
to be, too, as soon as
we get everything fixed
and cleaned up.
BIG BIRD: Oh yeah.
It's like two pictures, the way
it used to be and the way
it's going to be.
You know something?
GORDON: What?
BIG BIRD: I'm glad I
drew this, Gordon.
GORDON: You know, so am I.
BIG BIRD: Yeah.
TELLY: I'm going to be ready for
the next hurricane because
I've got my early
warning system.
Look at this.
When the wind blows, it
makes the wheel turn.
As soon as I see the wheel turn,
I know that there's a
hurricane coming.
Ah!
It's turning!
There's a hurricane coming!
There's a hurricane coming!
Everybody watch out!
GINA: Telly, Telly--
TELLY: There's a hurricane
coming!
GINA: Telly, Telly, Telly,
calm down, calm down.
TELLY: Gina.
GINA: Telly, shh, calm down.
It's OK.
It's OK.
It's OK.
The wheel is turning
because there's a
light breeze, all right?
Look, the hurricane is over.
It's not coming back.
It's OK.
TELLY: It's not?
GINA: No, look.
The sun is out.
It's a beautiful day.
See?
Yeah.
TELLY: Oh.
Oh.
Good.
But just in case, I've
got my umbrella, my
raincoat, and my rain hat.
GINA: Oh.
Um, what is that thing on the
top of your head there?
TELLY: Oh, that's a light,
just in case
the lights go out.
And look, Gina, goggles.
Goggles.
With all that wind and
rain, I don't want my
eyeballs to get wet.
GINA: Yeah, well, you certainly
did a lot of planning.
TELLY: Thank you.
GINA: But really, Telly,
listen to me.
Do not worry.
The weather is fine.
The hurricane is over.
There is not going to be
another hurricane, OK?
TELLY: Well, good.
GINA: Yeah.
TELLY: I'm glad to hear it.
GINA: Yes.
TELLY: But just in case, I even
remembered my triangle.
GINA: Oh.
Well, what would you need
a triangle for?
TELLY: [LAUGHS]
Really, Gina?
GINA: What?
TELLY: How would you like to
be stuck in a hurricane
without a triangle?
I mean, think about it.
ALAN: You know what?
I think this is enough
for today.
It's getting late.
MILES: Yeah, I'm kind
of hungry. yeah.
LUIS: Yeah, we've done
enough for today.
Tomorrow, we'll do more.
BIG BIRD: Wait.
What about my home?
It's not done yet.
I want to go home.
Radar wants to go home.
MARIA: Oh, don't worry,
Big Bird.
You'll have your
home back soon.
BIG BIRD: Well, I'm not
feeling worried.
I'm feeling a whole lot of
things, like I feel so, so--
MARIA: What, Big Bird?
What are you feeling?
BIG BIRD: Angry, I'm angry
at that hurricane
for wrecking my home.
MARIA: Well, I don't
blame you.
I can see why you'd
feel angry.
I'd feel angry, too.
BIG BIRD: Yeah.
Well, you hear that,
hurricane?
This is Big Bird, and I'm
really, really angry at you.
Oh boy.
I'm feeling something
else, too, Maria.
MARIA: Well, what's
that, Big Bird?
BIG BIRD: Sad.
I feel sad.
I miss my home.
This is where my nest
used to be.
MARIA: It's very sad losing
the things you love.
BIG BIRD: Yeah.
GABI: Come on, Big Bird.
You can stay with us, tonight.
BIG BIRD: Really?
LUIS: Yeah.
Tomorrow, we'll all
keep working.
You'll have your
home back soon.
PEOPLE: Yeah.
ALAN: That's right, don't
worry about it.
BIG BIRD: Oh really?
OK.
You know what, Maria?
MARIA: What?
BIG BIRD: I'm starting to
feel something else.
MARIA: What?
BIG BIRD: Hungry,
really hungry.
MARIA: Oh--
oh, good.
Then let's eat.
LUIS: Yeah, hey, I got
a great recipe for
sunflower seed souffle.
You've never tasted
anything like it.
BIG BIRD: Oh boy.
ALAN: Yummy.
BIG BIRD: Hey, well,
thanks, everybody.
ALAN: All right.
LUIS: All right.
See you.
ALAN: See you guys later.
BOB: Bye bye.
LUIS: Come on, [SPANISH].
BOB: Bye, Bird.
BIG BIRD: Bye, Bob.
TELLY: Hurricane!
There's a hurricane coming!
Hey, everybody-- hey, Gina--
GINA: No, no.
Telly, Telly, wait, wait.
Telly, stop.
TELLY: What?
GINA: Stop.
TELLY: What?
GINA: There is no hurricane.
TELLY: What?
GINA: There's no hurricane.
TELLY: No-- yes, there is.
Look, look, the pinwheel
is moving.
What makes it move?
Wind.
What is a hurricane?
Lots of wind.
GINA: Yes.
TELLY: A hurricane's coming.
GINA: No, Telly, Telly, Telly,
that is not the wind.
That is not the wind.
The pinwheel is moving because
you are waving it in the air.
There is no hurricane.
OK?
TELLY: Oh.
GINA: Yeah.
And just because there's wind,
Telly, does not mean that
there's a hurricane.
And if there is a hurricane
coming, you're going
to hear about it.
You're going to hear about it on
the radio or on television,
and you are going to have plenty
of time to prepare.
TELLY: Wait a minute.
Let me get this straight.
GINA: OK.
TELLY: What you're saying is,
there's no hurricane coming?
GINA: Right.
TELLY: So I don't need
my high-tech
early warning system?
GINA: No.
TELLY: Can I keep the
pinwheel for a toy?
GINA: Yes.
That is a great idea.
TELLY: Great.
GINA: I like that.
TELLY: No hurricane coming!
No hurricane coming!
LUIS: Hey, Big Bird, how
about some more?
BIG BIRD: Thanks, Luis, but--
no, I guess not.
MARIA: What's the matter?
Didn't you like the sunflower
seed souffle?
BIG BIRD: Well, I guess
I'm just not very
hungry after all.
And I mess my old nest.
MARIA: Aww.
You're right, Big Bird.
It was a good nest.
BIG BIRD: Mm.
I remember so much about it.
GABI: Like what?
BIG BIRD: Well, I remember once
when Ernie slept over,
and he sang me a lullaby.
ERNIE: [SINGING]
Lullaby and goodnight with
pink roses bedight, with
lilies o'er spread is Big
Bird's sweet head.
Lay you down now and rest.
May your slumber be blessed.
GABI: That was a really
nice memory, Big Bird.
BIG BIRD: Hmm.
You know something?
Remembering stuff about my nest
makes me feel better.
In fact, I think I feel good
enough to eat some of this
sunflower seed souffle.
LUIS: Well, here, let
me get you a fresh
hot plate, Big Bird.
GABI: Mm, yummy.
BIG BIRD: Oh boy.
LUIS: There you go, Big Bird.
You should be comfy there
for the night.
BIG BIRD: Looks pretty nice.
GABI: Does it feel
like your nest?
BIG BIRD: Well, not exactly.
I think Radar misses
the old nest.
LUIS: You know, Big Bird,
I was thinking
about your old nest.
And my favorite memory is when
that baby honker hatched out
of her egg.
GABI: You saw that?
BIG BIRD: Saw it?
He helped.
LUIS: I still remember
sitting on that egg.
[LAUGHING]
GABI: You sat on an egg?
BIG BIRD: Well, sure.
He had to.
LUIS: I just wish Big Bird would
get back soon so he can
take over for me.
[PECKING]
LUIS: It's moving.
BIG BIRD: Remembering all
these good things that
happened in my old nest really
helps me feel better.
MARIA: Oh, I'm glad, Big Bird.
LUIS: Well, we're all
pretty tired.
Why don't we get some sleep?
MARIA: Good night, you two.
LUIS: Good night.
GABI: Night, Mom.
BIG BIRD: Good night, Maria.
Good night, Luis.
GABI: How are you doing?
BIG BIRD: Oh, I'm OK.
I was just remembering all sorts
of memories about that
good old nest of mine.
GABI: Good.
I'm sure you have a lot
of great memories.
BIG BIRD: [SINGING]
It was a spot for sleeping and a
place to play, a comfy, cozy
corner any night or day.
It was the best place,
my home, that
good old nest of mine.
I had my toys around me
and my teddy bear.
In my imagination, I'd go
anywhere, right there in my
place, my home, that good
old nest of mine.
I could feel much bolder
there or find a
friendly shoulder there.
And when I needed cheering,
I'd start Birdketeering.
I had lots of visitors
from far and near.
And everyone would say, I like
it right here, right here, in
your place, your home, that
good old nest of mine.
GABI: You have a lot
of nice memories of
your nest, Big Bird.
BIG BIRD: Yeah.
Gabi, you know, I've
been thinking.
When I get my new nest, I'm
going to start making a whole
lot of new memories.
[YAWN]
But right now, I think I'm just
going to dream about some
of the old memories.
Good night, Gabi.
GABI: Good night, Big Bird.
[SNORING]
SNUFFLEUPAGUS: Bird.
Oh, Bird.
BIG BIRD: Hi, Snuffy.
SNUFFLEUPAGUS: Oh, Bird,
there you are.
Oh, Bird, guess what?
Luis says that it's all right
for you to go back home now.
BIG BIRD: Really, Snuff?
SNUFFLEUPAGUS: Yup.
Yup.
I'll come back later, Bird.
I'm still helping my mom clean
up after the hurricane.
The wind blew cabbages
is all over our cave.
BIG BIRD: Oh wow.
SNUFFLEUPAGUS: See you, Bird.
BIG BIRD: OK, Snuffy.
Bye bye.
Wow.
You did a great job fixing
these doors, Luis.
They look really strong.
LUIS: Big Bird, nobody
is going to
blow these doors down.
BIG BIRD: Oh boy.
TELLY: Hold on, hold on.
I'll be the judge of that.
Now don't worry, Big Bird.
We're going to test these doors
and make sure that they
don't blow away.
You never know.
There could be another
hurricane today.
BIG BIRD: Another hurricane?
TELLY: Could be.
BIG BIRD: Today?
TELLY: Yeah, could be.
LUIS: Telly, wait a minute.
There's not going to be
another hurricane.
The weather report said it was
going to be sunny all day.
TELLY: Well, you can't
be too sure, Luis.
Oh, Mr. Wolf?
Mr. Wolf?
MR. WOLF: Yeah, boss.
LUIS: Hey, aren't you--
MR. WOLF: That's right, Mr.
Wolf at your service from
Huff, Puff, and Puff
Construction.
TELLY: Yeah, yeah.
He's going to huff and puff on
these doors and make sure they
don't blow away.
All right.
Go on, Mr. Wolf.
Show them how you
huff and puff.
MR. WOLF: OK.
[WIND BLOWING]
TELLY: Wait a minute,
wait a minute.
Not me.
You're supposed to blow on
these doors to make that
they'll stay on in
a hurricane.
MR. WOLF: Oh.
LUIS: You can huff and
puff all you want.
Nothing is going to blow
these doors down.
BIG BIRD: Yeah.
Luis made them nice
and strong.
LUIS: Mm-hmm.
MR. WOLF: Hmph.
Yeah, I've heard that before.
OK, stand back everybody.
[WIND BLOWING]
MR. WOLF: Hey.
These doors are strong.
TELLY: Then it's safe for
Big Bird to go home?
MR. WOLF: Yep.
LUIS: I told you it was safe.
BIG BIRD: Great.
Come on, Radar.
We're going home.
TELLY: All right.
Hey, you know, Mr. Wolf, that
was some pretty good huffing
and puffing you just
did there.
MR. WOLF: Hey, it's what I do.
[WIND BLOWING, TELLY SHOUTING]
BIG BIRD: Wow.
Oh, wow.
MARIA: Ah.
BIG BIRD: Gee.
MARIA: Well, Big Bird,
what do you think?
LUIS: We tried to put everything
back the way it was
before the hurricane.
BIG BIRD: Yeah.
Oh, and look, you even
fixed my mailbox.
"B. Bird." That's me.
LUIS: And your phone
works again.
BIG BIRD: Oh, gosh,
that's great.
I can call my Granny
Bird then.
MARIA: Mm-hmm.
BIG BIRD: Oh.
Oh.
There's just one thing
you forgot.
LUIS: What's that?
MARIA: Oh, what's that?
BIG BIRD: My nest.
LUIS: Your nest?
BIG BIRD: Yes, my nest.
My nest is my home.
It was right here,
do you remember?
It blew away in the hurricane.
Now where are Radar and
I supposed to sleep?
MARIA: Well, Big Bird, we kind
of thought that you would
build your nest.
BIG BIRD: Me?
LUIS: Well, yeah, Big Bird.
I mean, you're a bird.
I mean, that's what birds do.
Birds build nests.
MARIA: Yeah.
And Luis and I don't know much
about building nests.
BIG BIRD: Yeah, but neither do
I. I was just an egg when my
nest was built.
I was hatched in that nest.
I never had to build
my own nest.
Oh boy.
Where will I go?
What will I do?
MARIA: Now, now, Big Bird.
We know you're upset.
But I'm sure that if you just
think about it, you'll be able
to figure out how
to build a nest.
After all, you're a bird.
And birds are great
at building nests.
LUIS: Yeah.
And we'll help you,
won't we, honey?
MARIA: Yes, of course.
Big Bird, why don't you start
thinking, OK, and we'll be
back in a little while.
We're going to help Alan fix the
awning at Hooper's Store.
OK?
BIG BIRD: OK.
LUIS: All right.
BIG BIRD: Well, thanks.
Thanks.
Gee.
OK, Radar, why don't we
just put our heads
together and think?
How do we build a nest?
Ah, I know.
No, I don't know.
Well, what about--
I got an idea.
No, that's no good.
You have an idea?
Nah.
[SIGH]
I can't think of anything.
Can you?
Think, Radar, think.
How do we build a nest?
[SIGH], it's no use.
[SIGH].
I may be a bird, but I just
don't have any idea how to
build a nest.
I. M. PIG: We can build
you a nest.
PIG: We sure can, I. M.
PIG: That's
right, I. M. PIG: Yeah.
BIG BIRD: Well, who are you?
PIG: We're architects from the
firm of Pig, Pig, and Pig.
[OINKING]
BIG BIRD: Oh.
Well, what's an architect?
PIG: Someone who
builds houses.
I. M. PIG: You've heard of me,
of course, I. M. Pig, the
greatest animal architect
in the world.
PIG: Oh, the best, I. M.
PIG: You sure are, I. M.
PIG: The greatest, I. M.
PIG: You're the best, I. M.
BIG BIRD: Well, I haven't
heard of you.
I. M. PIG: Oh.
Well, then, you've heard of
the Empire State Building?
BIG BIRD: Oh yes.
You built the Empire
State Building?
I. M. PIG: No, I built the
nest on the 32nd floor.
PIG: It was a beauty.
PIG: Wonderful.
I. M. PIG: Now tell me, what
kind of a nest would you like?
Take notes, piggies.
PIG: Yes sir, I. M.
PIG: That's right, I. M.
BIG BIRD: Well, I don't know.
I'd like a nest that's
cozy and comfortable.
Oh yeah, and something
that won't
blow away in a hurricane.
PIG: Hurricane.
Is that two H's or one?
I. M. PIG: Ah, pish tosh.
I can do better than that.
I have a great imagination,
right, piggies?
PIG: Oh, the best, I. M.
PIG: The very best, I. M.
PIG: Fantastic, I. M.
PIG: Beautiful, I. M.
I. M. PIG: I'll build you the
most incredible, the most
fabulous bird's nest ever.
PIG: He will, he will.
PIG: Yes.
I. M. PIG: [SINGING]
I'll build you a castle with
feathers for decor.
You will have a heated
bird bath with a
spa on every floor.
Or how about a pyramid made
of glass and chrome?
BIG BIRD: [SINGING]
All I really want is a home.
PIGS: [SINGING]
All he really wants is a home.
I. M. PIG: [SINGING]
I can see a penthouse 40 stories
high, with lots of
elevators so you'll
never have to fly.
You'll have a bird's eye view
from your perch inside a dome.
BIG BIRD: [SINGING]
All I really want is a home.
PIGS: [SINGING]
All he really wants is a home.
I. M. PIG: [SINGING]
I'll build a mansion fit for a
bird of paradise, with a nest
in every room.
Ha, you'll never
use one twice.
You'll be the envy of every
bird from Anaheim to Rome.
BIG BIRD: [SINGING]
All I really want--
PIGS: [SINGING]
All he really wants--
BIG BIRD: [SINGING]
All I really want is a home.
I. M. PIG: Hmm.
PIG: Hmm.
I. M. PIG: I can see it now,
yes, a bird's nest with towers
all around.
Yes, or maybe a luxury
condominium with a golf course
and flowers that spell out "Big
Bird." PIGS: Ooh.
I. M. PIG: Huh?
BIG BIRD: Ooh.
I. M. PIG: Huh?
PIGS: Ooh.
I. M. PIG: Big Bird.
BIG BIRD: Well, just as
long as it's homey.
My old nest was really homey.
I. M. PIG: Hmm.
Come along, piggies, we've
got work to do.
PIG: Right away, I. M.
[PIGS CHATTERING]
BIG BIRD: Gee.
Don't you kind of wonder
what my new home is
going to look like?
I know I do.
I. M. PIG: All right,
Big Bird.
I've designed the most
incredible bird's
nest you've ever seen.
Am I right, piggies?
PIG: Oh, you're right, I. M.
PIG: Oh, it's true,
I. M. It's true.
I. M. PIG: I call this one I.
M. Pig's Nest of Straw.
PIGS: Ooh.
I. M. PIG: See, it's light.
It's airy.
It's made entirely of straw.
BIG BIRD: Well, gee, it looks
more like a house than a nest.
I. M. PIG: Think of it
as a bird house.
But you can sit on top
of it like a nest.
PIG: Yeah, yeah.
I. M. PIG: See, that's you
right up there on top.
BIG BIRD: Oh yeah.
But won't it blow away
in a hurricane?
I. M. PIG: Blow away?
PIG: Ah, ah, ah, achoo!
PIG: Gesundheit.
PIG: Thank you.
BIG BIRD: Well, see
what I mean?
I. M. PIG: I told you
not to use straw.
It's too light.
PIG: Sorry, I. M.
I. M. PIG: Oh, never mind.
Never mind.
Show Big Bird the next nest.
PIG: OK.
I. M. PIG: I call it I. M.
Pig's House of Sticks.
PIGS: Ooh.
I. M. PIG: Yeah, see there,
it's all natural and made
entirely of 100% genuine
Popsicle sticks.
BIG BIRD: Well, it's nice,
but it doesn't look
like a nest, though.
And I don't think it's
very strong.
I. M. PIG: Strong?
Why, of course it's strong.
PIG: Ah, ah, achoo!
PIG: Gesundheit.
I. M. PIG: Oh.
I told you not to use
Popsicle sticks.
They're not strong enough.
PIG: I am disgraced.
I. M. PIG: Popsicle
sticks, feh.
Never mind.
I have designed the strongest
nest ever built.
I call it I. M. Pig's
Nest of Bricks.
PIGS: Ooh.
BIG BIRD: Bricks?
Bricks?
I. M. PIG: Yeah, you
see, the bricks
were my idea, of course.
It's very best, sturdy
and strong.
It will never be blown away
by the big, bad--
I mean hurricane.
PIGS: Ah, ah, ah, achoo!
BIG BIRD: Gesundheit.
I. M. PIG: See there?
BIG BIRD: Yeah.
Well, it is strong.
I. M. PIG: You bet.
BIG BIRD: But, well, it doesn't
look very comfortable.
I mean, I never heard of a bird
house made out of bricks.
And it doesn't look
like a nest.
I. M. PIG: Well, if you want
what all the other birds have,
then maybe we should have
had a bird design it.
PIG: That's right, I.
M., that's right.
BIG BIRD: Wait, wait a minute.
What you just said, that's
a great idea.
I. M. PIG: Huh?
BIG BIRD: I'll ask
my Granny Bird.
I. M. PIG: Your Granny Bird?
When you can have
the I. M. Pig?
BIG BIRD: Well, yeah.
My Granny Bird has built
lots of nests.
I. M. PIG: I must go where
I'm appreciated.
Come on, little piggies, we're
building a new hotel at the
Best Nesterns.
PIG: OK, I. M. Right
behind you, I. M.
BIG BIRD: Well, I can't wait
to call my Granny Bird.
She'll know just what
to do, yes sir.
MARIA: So Big Bird, did
you figure out how
to build your nest?
BIG BIRD: Not yet, Maria.
But I'm going to call
my Granny Bird and
ask her to help me.
She's built lots of nests.
MARIA: Big Bird, that's
a great idea.
I'm sure your Granny Bird will
know exactly what to do.
BIG BIRD: Well, I hope so.
Let's see.
555--
[MUTTERING]
B-I-R-D.
[PHONE RINGS]
BIG BIRD: It's ringing.
Hello, Granny Bird?
GRANNY BIRD: Oh.
Is that my favorite grandson?
BIG BIRD: Yes, Granny Bird.
It's me, Big Bird.
GRANNY BIRD: Is everything
all right, dear?
BIG BIRD: Well, no,
Granny Bird.
Everything is not all right.
My nest blew away during
the hurricane.
GRANNY BIRD: Oh, I hate
when that happens.
Now don't worry, grandsonny.
Your Granny Bird will fly
over right away and
build you a new nest.
BIG BIRD: Really?
Oh thanks, Granny Bird.
GRANNY BIRD: Now let's see.
If I start flying now,
I should be there
in about three weeks.
BIG BIRD: Three weeks?
GRANNY BIRD: As the
crow flies.
BIG BIRD: Oh.
But Granny Bird, I can't
wait three weeks.
Radar and I want to sleep
in our own nest.
Maybe you could just tell me how
to build a new nest now.
GRANNY BIRD: Why certainly,
Big Bird.
I've built many a
nest in my day.
All you have to do
is get twigs.
BIG BIRD: Get twigs,
that's all?
GRANNY BIRD: That's all.
You just get twigs.
Then you'll know what to do.
BIG BIRD: I'll know
what to do?
Are you sure, Granny Bird?
GRANNY BIRD: You're
a bird, Big Bird.
If you get twigs, the
nest will come.
Well, I've got to fly.
My gardening club is
about to start.
And the early bird
catches the worm.
Bye bye.
BIG BIRD: Bye, Granny Bird.
Thanks.
MARIA: So what did your Granny
Bird say, Big Bird?
BIG BIRD: Well, she told
me to get twigs.
MARIA: Get twigs?
That's it?
BIG BIRD: Yes.
She said I'd know what to do.
I hope she's right.
MARIA: Well, there's only
one way to find out.
Let's get twigs.
BIG BIRD: OK.
Get twigs, get twigs.
MARIA: OK, Big Bird.
We've got the twigs.
How do we build the nest?
ELMO: Yeah.
BIG BIRD: Um, well,
I don't know.
Oh, my Granny Bird said all I
had to do was get twigs, and
the nest would come.
Now we've got the twigs,
but I still don't know
how to build a nest.
MARIA: Big Bird said
he doesn't know how
to build the nest.
Linda says, don't
worry, Big Bird.
We'll help you figure it out.
Right?
ALL: Right, yeah.
ALAN: You know what?
We're just going to need to take
it one twig at a time.
[SINGING]
Twig by twig, building
it together.
Bit by bit, every little
stick has got a place.
Every little sprig
can play a part.
Every little leaf will
fill a space.
TELLY: [SINGING]
Will you look at that?
We've made a start.
ALL: [SINGING]
Building it together,
twig by twig.
MARIA: [SINGING]
All we really need
is cooperation.
LUIS: [SINGING]
And a lot of determination.
ALL: [SINGING]
Building it together,
twig by twig.
BIG BIRD: Wait a minute.
Maria, that twig doesn't
go over there.
It goes the other way.
And Luis, that one
goes over here.
Oh, and you know, we're going
to need some string, some
strong twine, and more twigs.
ALAN: I'll get that.
BIG BIRD: Gee, Granny
Bird was right.
I'm a bird, and I do know
how to build a nest.
Ha ha.
[SINGING]
Twig by twig, building
it together.
Branch by branch, over here
we need a little twine.
Over there, we need
a bit of string.
Isn't this a wonderful design?
How about a feather
from my wing?
ALAN: [SINGING]
All we really need
is cooperation.
LUIS: [SINGING]
And a lot of determination.
BIG BIRD: [SINGING]
Don't forget about
imagination.
ALAN: [SINGING]
The art of building nests is
building them together.
ALL: [SINGING]
Twig by twig.
BIG BIRD: [SINGING]
Nests aren't easy, but
I know what to do.
Got to put the twigs around like
so, got to get some mud
to be our glue.
OSCAR: Did somebody say mud?
TELLY: [SINGING]
Got to get it right,
now take it slow.
BIG BIRD: [SINGING]
Putting it together
twig by twig.
ELMO: [SINGING]
Friend by friend, putting
it together.
ROSITA: Oh, Elmo!
Pal by pal--
LUIS: [SINGING]
Gotta build a nest
for Bird to live.
MARIA: [SINGING]
Gotta have a home
for him to stay.
ELMO: [SINGING]
Gotta give it all that
we can give.
ALAN: [SINGING]
Gotta help the bird
in every way.
ALL: [SINGING]
Building it together.
BIG BIRD: [SINGING]
Friend by friend.
ALAN: [SINGING]
The art of making nests is
building them together, twig
by twig, leaf by leaf,
friend by friend.
ALL: [SINGING]
And that's how we built
Big Bird's nest.
ALAN: Wow.
ELMO: Yay
ALAN: All right.
BIG BIRD: You know, it's
really starting
to look like a nest.
Thank you, everybody.
You know, I couldn't have done
it without all of your help.
MARIA: Hey, you're the
bird, Big Bird.
LUIS: Yeah, right.
We just did what you told us.
We were happy to do it.
BIG BIRD: Oh thanks.
Oh, you're putting the twigs
there perfectly.
But Telly, can you push some
more mud in there?
Mud is what makes the twigs
stick together.
TELLY: You got it.
MARIA: Big Bird, this nest is
as big as your old one.
Shouldn't we stop soon?
ELMO: Big Bird will know
when to stop, Maria.
Birds know everything
about making a nest.
BIG BIRD: Actually, I'm not
so sure about stopping.
I'd better ask my Granny Bird.
[PHONE RINGING]
BIG BIRD: Oh, it's ringing.
GRANNY BIRD: Hello.
BIG BIRD: Oh, hi, Granny.
It's me, Big Bird.
I have a question.
GRANNY BIRD: Ask away,
grandsonny.
Asking questions is a great
way to get answers.
BIG BIRD: Oh good.
Well, how do you finish
building a nest?
GRANNY BIRD: Simple.
You add the final twig.
BIG BIRD: The final twig?
GRANNY BIRD: Yes,
the final twig.
BIG BIRD: What is
the final twig?
GRANNY BIRD: The final twig
is a special twig.
It's the last one you
put on the nest.
And after that, the
nest is done.
BIG BIRD: Oh, Granny,
you're so wise.
But how do you find it?
GRANNY BIRD: You look for it.
BIG BIRD: Wow, she
knows everything.
GRANNY BIRD: Birds know
it when they see it.
It's not too small or too big.
It's just the final twig.
Gotta go.
I have a seven-seed
loaf in the oven.
Bye bye.
BIG BIRD: Bye.
Thanks.
LUIS: What'd she say?
BIG BIRD: She said, find
the final twig.
TELLY AND ELMO: The
final twig?
BIG BIRD: The final twig.
MARIA: Well, you've got
a lot to choose from.
BIG BIRD: Let me see.
[SINGING]
Birds know it when
they see it.
It's not too small or big, this
special kind of twiggy
sort of final sort of twig.
A twig to end all twiglets,
don't need another one.
'Cause when you add this
twig, the nest is done.
ALL: [SINGING]
The twig, the twig.
Find the final twig.
A twig that's not too little,
a twig that's not too big.
BIG BIRD: [SINGING]
Birds know it when they see
it, so do not ask a pig to
help you find the final twig.
Yeah.
Twigs.
That's not it.
Those are too big.
That's too small.
Telly, that's a rock.
TELLY: Could you remind us
what we're looking for?
BIG BIRD: [SINGING]
A very special sticklet for
when you build a nest.
The twig you put on last of
all, after all the rest.
I don't see it anywhere.
BOY: Is this it?
BIG BIRD: Oh.
Oh, this is it.
Yes, yes, my inner bird
says this is it.
Yes, good work, [? Saj. ?]
TELLY: We found it!
ALL: Yay!
[SINGING]
The twig, the twig.
We found the final twig.
It's thicker than a sprig
and thinner than a fig.
BIG BIRD: [SINGING]
It doesn't wear a wig.
It doesn't dance a jig.
ALL: [SINGING]
It's simply not too
little or too big.
BIG BIRD: [SINGING]
The nest is almost finished.
The time has come, my friend,
to add the final twig.
ALL: [SINGING]
The nest is done--
the end!
Yay!
TELLY: All right!
Now get in that nest.
Come on, get in.
BIG BIRD: Not yet.
ALL: Huh?
BIG BIRD: Snuffy's coming to
see me get in the new nest
after he takes Alice
to school.
So we have to wait for him.
He should be here soon.
TELLY: It's time.
Big Bird's going to get in
his new nest at last.
BIG BIRD: That's right.
And I waited for you, Snuffy,
like I promised.
I wanted you here.
SNUFFLEUPAGUS: Aww.
You are a bird of
your word, Bird.
And may I say, nice nest.
ELMO: Yeah, Elmo helped
build it.
GABI: We all helped build it.
BIG BIRD: Yeah, they
all helped.
SNUFFLEUPAGUS: Oh wow.
I wish I could've helped build
it, too, but I had to stay
home and help my little
sister Alice.
BIG BIRD: Well, that's
OK, Snuffy.
You helped her.
SNUFFLEUPAGUS: Mm-hmm.
BIG BIRD: And now, dear friends,
at last, I'm going to
get into my new nest.
Ta-da!
[CHEERING]
SNUFFLEUPAGUS: All right.
[WHISTLE]
BIG BAD WOLF: Don't
go in that nest.
[WIND BLOWING, TELLY SHOUTING]
MARIA: Look who just blew in.
ELMO: The Big Bad Wolf.
BIG BAD WOLF: City
nest inspector.
LUIS: City nest inspector?
BIG BAD WOLF: Yeah, I just
got wind of this.
Don't sit in that nest
until I inspect it.
TELLY: For what?
BIG BAD WOLF: Ah, to see if it's
safe for birds, if it's
fit to sit.
Mm-hmm, uh-huh, oh.
Uh-oh, you've got
a problem here.
This mud is still wet.
TELLY: Well, we just finished
putting it on.
BIG BAD WOLF: Mm.
Oh, wet, wet, wet.
No, no, no, no, no.
You can't sit in this
wet nest now.
You'll squash it flat
into a twig pancake.
Why, you could bump
your tailbone.
I declare that this nest
is squishily unsafe.
Until the mud dries,
I declare it--
ALL: Closed?
BIG BAD WOLF: Mm-hmm.
BIG BIRD: You mean, I
can't go in my nest?
BIG BAD WOLF: Nobody can,
not while it's wet.
Sorry, son, but safety first.
Call me when the mud dries.
LUIS: "Huff, Huff, and Puff,
City Nest Inspectors.
If it's huffing and puffing,
we do it."
BIG BAD WOLF: I'll come
back and give it
the hurricane test.
TELLY: Well, what's that?
BIG BAD WOLF: This.
[WIND BLOWING, TELLY SHOUTING]
[GROANING]
TELLY: I had to ask.
BIG BAD WOLF: See you tomorrow,
after the mud dries.
BIG BIRD: Tomorrow?
Tomorrow?
But I want to sleep
in it tonight.
Oh, and so does Radar.
And now it's closed.
MARIA: Oh, Big Bird, it'll
only be for one more day.
BIG BIRD: It's a
million years.
TELLY: Well, at least
we finished it.
BIG BIRD: But, but where
will I sleep tonight?
GORDON: Well, you can stay
at our apartment again.
BIG BIRD: Oh, thanks.
But gee whiz, if birds were
meant to live in apartments,
I'd know how to build
an apartment.
I want to be in my
home, my nest.
MARIA: Oh, Big Bird.
What can we do now?
ELMO: Ooh, ooh, Elmo knows.
Let's help the nest get
dry right now, today.
ALL: How?
ELMO: Well, Snuffy can dry the
nest with his snuffle.
TELLY: He blew Slimey's
spaceship to the moon.
ELMO: Yeah.
BIG BIRD: Oh wow.
Would you, Snuffy,
please, so I can
sleep in my nest tonight?
ELMO: Please, Snuffy?
GABI: Now it's your
turn to help.
SNUFFLEUPAGUS: Well, help is my
middle name, Aloysius Help
Snuffleupagus.
[LAUGHING]
SNUFFLEUPAGUS: All right.
Stand back, everybody.
Breath, don't desert me now.
[INHALING]
[AIR BLOWING]
BIG BIRD: Wow.
TELLY: Hey, don't blow
it to the moon.
Just dry it.
ELMO: Elmo hopes this works.
Keep blowing, Snuffy.
LUIS: It sounds drier.
ELMO: Ooh, the nest is
going to get dry.
Yay!
BIG BIRD: Look at him blow.
Am I lucky to have a
friend like him!
Wow.
Mr. Wolf, you told me
to call when the mud
on my nest was dry.
Well, it's dry now.
BIG BAD WOLF: It can't be.
That was only 10 minutes ago.
BIG BIRD: Well, it's dry.
Hey, tell him it's dry, gang.
ALL: It's dry!
BIG BAD WOLF: I'll
be right over.
BIG BIRD: He'll be right over.
[TIRES SQUEALING]
[KNOCKING]
TELLY: It's too soon for
the Big Bad Wolf.
BIG BAD WOLF: Open the door
and let me come in.
ELMO: Not by the hair of Elmo's
chinny-chin-chin.
BIG BAD WOLF: Then I'll huff,
and I'll puff, and I'll blow
your door in.
ELMO: It's him, all right.
[WIND BLOWING, TELLY SHOUTING]
BIG BAD WOLF: I told you so.
TELLY: This is not my day.
BIG BAD WOLF: So the
nest is dry, huh?
ALL: Yeah.
BIG BAD WOLF: Well,
it looks dry.
It feels dry.
Sounds dry.
The nest is dry.
ALL: Yay!
BIG BIRD: OK, nest,
here I come.
BIG BAD WOLF: But--
ALL: Huh?
BIG BAD WOLF: Is it safe?
ALL: [GROAN]
BIG BAD WOLF: If another
hurricane comes, will it blow
away again?
ELMO: Will Big Bird ever
get to go in that nest?
LUIS: We made this
one extra strong.
BIG BIRD: Yeah.
BIG BAD WOLF: Well, to make
sure, I will huff and puff as
hard as I can, as anyone can.
Stand back and keep your
eye on the nest.
[INHALING]
[WIND BLOWING]
BIG BIRD: Wow.
[PANTING]
BIG BAD WOLF: I give up.
I'm all huffed out.
This nest is hurricane ready.
This nest is safe.
This nest is fit to sit in.
This nest is open!
ALL: Yay!
TELLY: The nest is open!
[CHEERING]
BIG BAD WOLF: I've
got one question.
How'd you get that mud
to dry so fast?
SNUFFLEUPAGUS: Well,
just like this.
[WIND BLOWING, BIG BAD
WOLF SHOUTING]
TELLY: [LAUGHING]
You know what you just did?
You just blew away
the Big Bad Wolf!
SNUFFLEUPAGUS: I hope
he's all right.
BIG BAD WOLF: All right?
I'm thrilled, elated.
You blew me away.
What a huff!
What a puff!
What's your name?
SNUFFLEUPAGUS: Snuffy.
BIG BAD WOLF: How would
you like a job huffing
and puffing for me.
We'll change our name to
Huff, Puff, and Snuff.
SNUFFLEUPAGUS: No thanks.
I've got to finish snufflegarten
first.
BIG BAD WOLF: Well, in that
case, I gotta blow.
I'm doing grandma's
house for lunch.
BIG BIRD: OK, goodbye and
thanks, Mr. Wolf.
OK, now my friends,
I, Big Bird, will
get into my new nest.
Thanks.
SNUFFLEUPAGUS: Wow.
BIG BIRD: Friends, if I had to
build this nest all by myself,
why, it would've taken forever,
years, months, even.
But because you all helped me,
it took only two days.
TELLY: All right!
Now get in the nest.
Go ahead.
In the nest.
BIG BIRD: OK, I will, I will.
But first--
ALL: [GROAN]
BIG BIRD: Nest builders,
I'd like to add this.
[SINGING]
When I was homeless, with no
place to rest, you got
together and made me a nest.
I want to thank you, thank
