00:00Oh, hey everybody. Welcome to Sesame Street. You guys are just in time. I'm about to make a video
00:16with my camera to send to my parents. They live far away in India. All right, here we go.
00:23Hi, Mom. Hi, Dad. Say hi to my parents. Yeah, no way. All right, I'm standing here on Sesame Street,
00:37my new home. It's an amazing place to live, but I thought instead of just telling you about it,
00:42that I'd show you. This is the laundromat where I work. Let's see who's in here. Hey, guys,
00:50everybody say hi to my mom and dad. Say hi to my parents. Hi. Hi. Thanks. Right next door is Hooper's
01:04store. Now, there's always something going on at Hooper's. Let's go inside and check it out.
01:11Mmm, yum, yum, yum. Are they ready to eat, Alan? Almost, Prairie. They just need to cool.
01:17You are going to love these. Oh, Alan makes the very best oatmeal cookies. Oh. Hi, guys. Oh, hey, Leela.
01:27Oh, is that a video camera? Why, yes, it is. I am making a video to send to my parents so they can
01:33see all the amazing things that happen on Sesame Street. Oh, what a nice idea. Well, you know, perhaps
01:40we could show them my amazing friend here the letter O. It is the letter of the day, you
01:46know. Oh. You know, I think that's a great idea. My parents have never seen a talking letter
01:52before. Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait. We need a visual aid. Something that begins with the
01:58letter O. Oh. All right, how about these? Uh, perfect, because O is the first letter in oatmeal
02:06cookies. Cookies! Cookies! Beh! Oh, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
02:13Oh, Cookie Monster. Cookie Monster. I just baked those. Oh, dear. Compliments to the chef.
02:20Om, nom, nom, nom. You ate our visual aid. Oh, Alan. I don't suppose you have any more Old
02:28Moe Cookies? In the back.
02:30Hey, in the meantime, maybe I could tape you, Cookie Monster.
02:36My parents won't believe there's a monster living here who loves to eat cookie!
02:42What? Where?
02:43There!
02:44Huh?
02:44Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:46Big, round, giant cookie.
02:51Oh, oh!
02:52Come to papa!
02:53No, no, no, no, Cookie Monster!
02:56No, no, no, no!
02:58Oh, my, oh, my, Cookie!
02:59Let's go! Run like the wind!
03:03Well, I guess I have to find something else to tape for my parents.
03:08All right, here's a brand new bathroom.
03:11Where did everybody go?
03:15Well, Mom and Dad, Hoopah's was a little busy, so I'm going to find something else to show you,
03:19but it's not going to be a problem.
03:20There's always tons of stuff going on on the street.
03:23A little bit further, a little bit further.
03:24Oh, there!
03:25Hey, guys, what you doing?
03:27Oh, hallelujah!
03:28Hola!
03:29We were just setting up Jack's candlestick.
03:31Yeah, yeah!
03:31So Jack will jump over it.
03:34Jack?
03:34Jack who?
03:35Hi, how you doing?
03:36Jack, but that was the name.
03:36Jump is my game.
03:37Ooh, good.
03:38I see you got my candlestick set up.
03:39Who's got the book?
03:40There he is.
03:41I do!
03:42Ta-da!
03:44Great, so you know how this works.
03:45You read my nursery rhyme, I jump.
03:47Boom, stun, nimbler, quick.
03:48That's how I roll.
03:49Yes!
03:50Wow, this is great.
03:51This is just the kind of thing that happens all the time on Sesame Street.
03:53Jack, would you mind if I videotape this?
03:56Sure, but let's make this quick.
03:57I got a very popular nurse around here.
03:59People are reading all the time.
03:59I got other place to go.
04:00Candles do jump.
04:02Hey, hey, okay.
04:04Let's read.
04:05I'll tape it.
04:06Gosh, my parents are not going to believe this when they see the real Jack B. Nimble.
04:10Okay.
04:11Go ahead, Elmo.
04:12Oh, um, um, but Elmo doesn't know how to read.
04:17You don't?
04:18Well, I...
04:20Neither do I.
04:21Uh-oh.
04:22Hey, I don't jump if you don't read the book.
04:23It's in my contract.
04:24You've got to read the fine print.
04:24Sorry, kids.
04:25Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, come back here.
04:28Well, we'll get somebody to read it.
04:30We just need a grown-up.
04:31Oh, yeah, my grown-up.
04:34Hey, Leela, would you read the nursery rhyme to us?
04:36Oh, but I was going to tape it.
04:38Oh, come on, please.
04:39Please, please, please.
04:41Please, please, please.
04:42Maybe I can read the nursery rhyme first and then try to tape a little off.
04:45Yay!
04:47Let's do this thing!
04:49Jack, be nimble.
04:51I'm nimble.
04:51I'm nimble.
04:52Check me out.
04:52You're nimble.
04:53You're nimble.
04:53I'm nimble.
04:54Jack, be quick.
04:55Look at me.
04:56I'm quick.
04:56Can you catch me?
04:57No, you can't.
04:57Because I'm so quick.
04:58He's quick.
04:59Jack, jump over the candlestick.
05:01Hang tight.
05:02Got to get a running start.
05:03Oh, boy, oh, boy.
05:04This is the best part.
05:06Oh, maybe I could get some of this on video.
05:11Oh, no.
05:14Hi, Mama.
05:15Is Leela okay?
05:16Yeah, I'm fine.
05:17But I didn't get anything on tape.
05:19Jack, could you jump one more time, please?
05:22No can do.
05:23I got another jump scheduled cross-down.
05:25See ya.
05:26But wait, wait, wait, Jack.
05:27Wait, wait, wait.
05:28You forgot your candlestick.
05:30And your book.
05:31Oh, come on, Jack.
05:32But it'll only take a scene.
05:34I never have to do that.
05:35Okay.
05:36Not a problem.
05:38There's got to be something else going on that I can tape for my parents.
05:42Okay.
05:43Get in your places, Birdcateers.
05:45Big puns.
05:47Okay, Birdcateers.
05:49Are you ready to sing the alphabet the Birdcateer way?
05:53Yeah.
05:54Okay.
05:55Flap those rings, Birdcateers.
05:57And you can flap, too.
05:59Keep flapping and sing.
06:00A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, J, L, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, and Z.
06:15Now I know my ABCs.
06:19Next time, won't you sing with me?
06:23That was great.
06:25Hey, would you guys mind doing that one more time?
06:27I'd love to tape you to show my parents.
06:30Why, we'd love to, Leela.
06:31Right, Birdcateers?
06:33Yay!
06:34Okay.
06:34This is great.
06:35Nothing says Sesame Street like an eight-foot bird singing the alphabet.
06:39Ready?
06:40Ready.
06:41Sing.
06:42Flap those rings.
06:44Here we go.
06:46A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, N, O, P.
06:53Uh-oh.
06:56Meeting's over.
06:57Oh, what?
06:59I didn't get to tape the whole thing.
07:00This will just take a second.
07:01Oh, sorry, Leela.
07:03But you know the bird-cateer rule.
07:05When the coo-coo coos, the meeting's over.
07:08Oh, come on, kids.
07:08We gotta go.
07:10But, just...
07:13Sorry.
07:14Hi.
07:16I don't believe this.
07:17I can't seem to tape anything today.
07:24I wish I could find something, anything to show my parents.
07:27Uh, you know, I could probably help you out there.
07:31Oscar, you wanna help me?
07:34But you're a grouch.
07:35I know, but I bet your parents have never seen a grouch before, huh?
07:42Hey, you know, you're right.
07:44They would love to see this.
07:46A grouch who lives in a trash can hates Buffett.
07:49Okay, then get your little camera ready there.
07:52Because I'm only gonna do this one time, Leela.
07:55Okay, I'm gonna give you a countdown, all right?
07:57Okay.
07:58Three, two, one, and action.
08:04Oscar.
08:06Oscar, you can come out now.
08:08Oscar, come on out.
08:10All I'm taping is a trash can, and this is not very...
08:13Oh, I see.
08:19It was a trick.
08:21Thanks a lot, Oscar.
08:25Maybe videotaping wasn't such a great idea, after all.
08:29I should just write my parents a letter.
08:31It's too bad.
08:32I really wanted them to see how amazing this street is.
08:36Oh, well.
08:41Oh, hey, there she is.
08:43Oh, yeah, she is.
08:44Come on, Leela, Leela.
08:46Leela.
08:47Leela.
08:48Hey, Leela.
08:49We're looking for you.
08:52Yeah.
08:52You are?
08:53Why?
08:54Well, we know you really wanted to tape something to show your parents.
08:57Yeah, that's why we're here.
08:59Yeah.
08:59So you can tape us.
09:00Yeah.
09:01You mean it?
09:02Yeah.
09:03Absolutely.
09:04That's what friends are for.
09:06Thanks, you guys.
09:08All right.
09:08Let's do it.
09:09Yeah.
09:11Well, Mom and Dad, I wanted to show you what an amazing place Sesame Street is.
09:15So here's the most amazing part of all.
