Elmo quotes from Sesame Street

Elmo is trying

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.

Oh, boy. Elmo was so tired from all this singing. Oh, maybe, Elmo will take right here. And start practicing his countdown again later.

(singing) This little piggy went to market

The Oinker Sisters. Excuse me, Elmo.

(singing) Stayed home

Okay.

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!
