Zoe Pumpkin: Oh, hi, there. Oh, wow. Isn't this terrific? You know, Big Bird Yellow's away. And uh, so I can sit back in his chair and watch my favorite TV show. (laughing)

Big Bird Yellow: Zoe Pumpkin, I'm home.

Zoe Pumpkin: Oh.

Big Bird Yellow: Hey, Zoe Pumpkin...

Zoe Pumpkin: Hi, Big Bird Yellow.

Big Bird Yellow: Big Bird Yellow, what is going on here? This place is a mess. Look, your toys are everywhere.

Zoe Pumpkin: Yeah, well, I was just about to pick them up, Big Bird Yellow.

Big Bird Yellow: Well, good. Zoe Pumpkin.

Zoe Pumpkin: Hm?

Big Bird Yellow: What is that? Is that a banana peel I see?

Zoe Pumpkin: Uh, yes, it is, Big Bird Yellow.

Big Bird Yellow: Did you eat the last banana?

Zoe Pumpkin: Well, uh...

Big Bird Yellow: And Zoe Pumpkin, what, what are you doing sitting on the favorite chair, huh? We agreed we were going to take turns. And tonight is my night for sitting and watching television on the favorite chair.

Zoe Pumpkin: Ah, you're right, Big Bird Yellow.

Big Bird Yellow: All right. Now, look, Zoe Pumpkin, I'll be right back. And when I come back, now, I want to sit in the chair, okay?

Zoe Pumpkin: Sure, Big Bird Yellow.

Big Bird Yellow: Boy, oh, boy.

Zoe Pumpkin: Wow. Well, at least Big Bird Yellow's out of the room. Now, just imagine what it would be like if Big Bird Yellow wasn't around at all and I lived here all by myself. It'd be wonderful. I'd have everything to myself. (laughing) And I wouldn't have to pick up my toys all the time. And I could sit in Big Bird Yellow's chair and watch my television shows. And I could play with his bottle cap and paper clip collection and take care of his pigeons and play my drums as loud as I wanted to. But, uh, but gee, without Big Bird Yellow around, well, I might not have anybody to talk to when I felt like talking to somebody. In fact, well, it might be kind of lonely. Because, well, I'd be all alone at night. And when I hear strange noises, well, Big Bird Yellow wouldn't be there to go find out what they are. And what if I get sick? Ooh. Why, without Big Bird Yellow, it'd be terrible around here.

Big Bird Yellow: Okay, Zoe Pumpkin. Now it's my turn to sit in the chair, remember?

Zoe Pumpkin: Big Bird Yellow!

Big Bird Yellow: No arguments.

Zoe Pumpkin: You're here! Oh, Big Bird Yellow, you're back. Wonderful, Big Bird Yellow. Sit down in your chair here.

Big Bird Yellow: Oh, well.

Zoe Pumpkin: Turn on your favorite television show there, Big Bird Yellow.

Big Bird Yellow: All right. Good.

Zoe Pumpkin: Listen, Big Bird Yellow, I'm going to pick up all my toys now. And then, I'm going to feed your pigeons and help arrange your bottle cap collection. And Big Bird Yellow, right now I'm going to go in the other room and bathe your guppies. Okay?

Big Bird Yellow: Wha.
