Telly quotes from Sesame Street

Telly

Oh, hi! I still can't quite make up my mind about my favorite song. I thought it was "The Alphabet Song". But, now, I don't know. Would you mind singing another song with me? Would you mild singing "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" with me? Good. singing Twinkle, twinkle, little star. How

Telly

Hmmm...maybe, "Baa, Baa, Black Sheep" is my favorite song. singing Baa, baa, black sheep, have you any wool? Yes, sir, yes, sir, three bags full. One for the master, one for the dame, and one for the little girl who lives down the lane. Baa, baa, black sheep, have you any wool? Yes, sir, yes, sir, three bags full.

Telly

I-I got it! I know what my favorite song is!

Jon, you're on in 30 seconds.

David, we can't get out! The door's stuck!

What? Well, where's the handyman I sent in?

[seeing the handyman shake the oil can] In here with the rest of the crew.

Telly

Oh, no! If they can't get out, that means there's no show. And if there's no show, then all those people who wanted to hear the music will be sad. And if all those people are sad, they might not go to work tomorrow! And if they don't go to work tomorrow, the economy will collapse! And if the economy collapses, THE COUNTRY... WILL BE... DOOMED!!! Doomed, I tell you! This is terrible!

[calming Telly down] Easy! Easy! Easy! Easy, Telly. It's just a TV show.

[gasps in shock] Watch your mouth, little guy! Now, I'd expect that attitude over on cable, but this is network.

Aw, Telly. Don't be sad. Someone will find your tuba.

Telly

You don't understand, Elmo. I was really looking forward to playing it with some musicians. Now what am I going to do?

You see, Telly? There are lots of ways to make music.

Telly

I know, but it's not the same.

Any good luck yet, Telly?

Telly

No, Baby Bear.

No, no, no, no, no!

Telly

Oh, nothing.

Oh, well. It figures. All right, now. Hit it, guys!

Why not?

Telly

How can I tell them I can't play with them because I lost my tuba?

Telly

Hey! That's my tuba! Is this yours?

Telly

Oh, I never will again. Oh. Welcome back, tuba. I missed you.

Okay, everybody! Let's play!
