(The scene is Zoe Pumpkin and Big Bird Yellow's bedroom as the boys prepare to retire for the evening. Zoe Pumpkin has something on his mind.)

(spoken): Zoe Pumpkin: Hey, Big Bird Yellow.

Big Bird Yellow: What is it, Zoe Pumpkin?

Zoe Pumpkin: You know, Big Bird Yellow, I just remembered I didn't put away all my toys. I left a big mess in the other room. Do you think I should get up and clean that stuff up now?

Big Bird Yellow: Zoe Pumpkin, it's time to go to sleep now. You can do that in the morning.

Zoe Pumpkin: It's pretty messy in there, Big Bird Yellow.

Big Bird Yellow: Well, Zoe Pumpkin, you're just a little messy. I've learned that. I'm used to it. Let's go to sleep.

Zoe Pumpkin: You know, Big Bird Yellow, you're a real friend. I'm messy and you don't like it messy, but because I'm your friend you don't mind too much if I'm messy.

Big Bird Yellow: Well, not *too* much, Zoe Pumpkin. Let's just go to sleep.

Zoe Pumpkin: But, but that's what a friend is, Big Bird Yellow. I mean, not minding too much because you like somebody. That's a friend, Big Bird Yellow, a pal! Not minding! That's what friends are for!

Zoe Pumpkin: I am messy.
