Time Text
I need not to remind you of our purpose.
Remind me to place stray birds with nice bird families.
We all know he can't be happy.
He needs to be with his own kind.
With a bird family.
True, very true.
And I know just the family.
You know, Big, you shouldn't be living here all alone.
Well, I'm not all alone.
Like this, Gordon and Susan.
They're not birds like we are.
I know, but they're nice people.
But you should have a home and a family.
Well, I am home.
I like it here on Sesame Street.
Wouldn't you like to be with your own kind?
Wouldn't you like to live in a big, beautiful bird house with a nice bird family?
Your own.
And a brother bird.
And a sister bird.
And a father bird.
And a mother bird.
And sing and play bird games all day long.
Wouldn't you?
Wouldn't you?
Gee, I think I'd like that.
Good.
Because in a lovely city called Ocean View, Illinois, there's a fine feathered family waiting just for you.
Really?
Oh, when can I leave?
I can't wait.
But what'll I tell my friends?
Big Bird.
Are you sure you want to go?
You don't have to, you know.
No, you don't.
You know, I will be getting my very own bird family.
But Big Bird, we're your family.
I'd like to give it a try.
Of course he would.
Well, Big Bird, if that's really what you want.
Come on, Big Bird.
You don't want to miss your plane.
You must be the Dodos.
Wow, no, wait.
Yes!
I'm Daddy Dodo.
I'm Mommy Dodo.
I'm Donnie.
And I'm Marie.
Who are you?
Why, I'm Big Bird.
What?
No, you're not.
You're Big Dodo.
Big total.
Awww Coop yeah Welcome first Big Dodo.
This is our street, Canary Road.
Where are we going?
Where are you taking me?
Is this the airport?
Here we are.
Well, we made it.
I told you I could find it.
Find one, dear.
I can't remember.
I'm so proud of you, Father.
Oh, it's great to be here.
You have to come home before you can leave.
I lost my great dog.
Don't be shy, Big Dodo.
Where's the rego?
What do you feel?
We've got some.
Who's big dog?
I just got hair on it.
Hey!
Oh, shit.
Oh!
Oh!
Give me your leg!
Let me get through!
Woo-hoo!
I'm getting top.
Present it down.
Four more.
Hold on.
Greenmark.
Come on, get top with me.
Two more.
And cross your hands in front.
Don't.
Sometimes after a hard workout, we take a dip in the pool.
Now that's fun.
Miss Finch.
Hello, Big.
Perhaps the Dodos weren't perfect for you, but I have managed to find you another Lovely bird family.
He doesn't need another family.
He has one right here.
And we all love him.
But he's a bird.
He'd be happier with his own cot.
Well, we're all happy here on Sesame Street.
And we've got all kinds.
We've got people.
And cows.
She's right about that.
And we've got...
We've got Bert and Ernie.
Why aren't you here, big bird?
And there's dogs.
And birds?
That's me.
We've got monsters.
Where?
Where monsters?
You see monsters?
And kids.
And there's honkers.
Why?
We've even got brouches.
Oh, keep us out of this.
Yeah, yeah, that's right.
So you have.
And you're all happy?
Yes, definitely.
Well, we did go to look for him, so that must mean you care.
And he does seem to have a lot of friends.
Not feathered, but.
All right.
Big, from now on, Sesame Street is your home.
Boy, oh boy, oh boy.
Hey!
Hey, let me down!
When I get down, it'll cost you another nickel.
It's ten cents for the round trip, kid.
Ten cents!
Oh, rip off!
Oh, rip off!
Stop my apple!
My apple!
Well, this ain't your day, is it, kid?
Here, now get out of here.
