• Mr. Snuffleupagus : Oh, Bird, this is goodbye. You're leaving Sesame Street.

  Big Bird : Well, I'm not really leaving. I'm just going away.

  Mr. Snuffleupagus : Oh.

  Big Bird : Besides, as soon as I get to Ocean View, you can come and visit.

  Mr. Snuffleupagus : I can?

  Big Bird : First thing, ol' pal. I wouldn't go if you couldn't come and visit.

• Big Bird : Gee. There's still no sign of Sesame Street. Nothing but amber waves of grain. I think I'm lost. What'll I do? I wish Snuffy were here. Then I'd be lost with my best friend.

  [at that moment, a mirage-like image of Snuffy appears in the field] 

  Mr. Snuffleupagus : Hello, Bird.

  Big Bird : Snuffy? I thought I'd never see you again! I can hardly see you now.

  Mr. Snuffleupagus : That is because you are imagining me, Bird.

  Big Bird : Oh. Well, it's so good to almost see you. I suppose a hug is out of the question, you being imaginary right now.

  Mr. Snuffleupagus : You could imagine that we're hugging, Bird.

  Big Bird : That's right. How brilliant. Here it comes.

  [Big Bird and Snuffy try to hug, but keep passing through each other] 

  Big Bird : Oh, I'm afraid this isn't working, Snuffy. For hugging, you need the real thing.

  Mr. Snuffleupagus : Don't worry, Bird. We can hug for real when you get back to Sesame Street.

  Big Bird : ''If'' I ever get back to Sesame Street. But I will.

• Oscar the Grouch : [driving into a junkyard]  This is where I wanna be - grouch paradise! Just look it at. It's like a work of art.

  Telly Monster : It is different, Maria.

  Maria : Oscar, I want you to turn this car around right now and head for Toadstool!

  Oscar the Grouch : Ah, an angry face in a beautiful place - heaven.
