[sound of door opening]

SPOKEN:

Zoe Pumpkin: Hiya, Big Bird Yellow!

Big Bird Yellow: Oh, hi, Zoe Pumpkin.

Zoe Pumpkin: Hey, I just got back from the grocery store, Big Bird Yellow. I bought us some soda pop.

Big Bird Yellow: Yeah, well, uh, I wish you wouldn't bother me right now, Zoe Pumpkin, 'cause I'm busy.

Zoe Pumpkin: Really, Big Bird Yellow? What are you doin'?

Big Bird Yellow: Ohhh, I'm sitting here thinking about my favorite number.

Zoe Pumpkin: You're sitting there thinking about your favorite number? That sounds a little boring, Big Bird Yellow.

Big Bird Yellow: Aw, not when your favorite number is as wonderful a number as mine is!

Zoe Pumpkin: Really?

Big Bird Yellow: Uh-huh.

Zoe Pumpkin: Well, what is your favorite number, Big Bird Yellow?

Big Bird Yellow: I was hoping you'd ask!

SUNG:

Big Bird Yellow: Six

Zoe Pumpkin: Six?

Big Bird Yellow: My favorite number is six

Zoe Pumpkin: Big Bird Yellow, nobody's favorite number is six.

Big Bird Yellow: Sometimes I spend the whole afternoon Sitting around, and singing a tune about

Six

Zoe Pumpkin: Six, hmm?

Big Bird Yellow: Sometimes I think of six bricks.

Zoe Pumpkin: Big Bird Yellow, that's very boring.

Big Bird Yellow: Or else I think of six sticks

Zoe Pumpkin: Well, that's even more boring.

Big Bird Yellow: Not five bricks or sticks, but six

Now two is your eyes and one's your nose And five is your fingers or your toes And four is the legs on an easy chair Yet there's no number can compare with

Six

Zoe Pumpkin: How about 9 or 3?

Big Bird Yellow: Nothing more lovely than six

Zoe Pumpkin: I don't know, Big Bird Yellow ...

Big Bird Yellow: When someone says, "Hey, Big Bird Yellow, pick a number" Well, I always pick the one nobody picks -- My favorite number is six.

SPOKEN:

Zoe Pumpkin: You know, I hate to break this to you, Big Bird Yellow, but six isn't anybody's favorite number.

Big Bird Yellow: It's my favorite number, Zoe Pumpkin.

Zoe Pumpkin: I mean, six just sort of sits there between five and seven. You know, you have five fingers on your hand, and there are seven days in a week, but there's not really six of anything.

Big Bird Yellow: I know, Zoe Pumpkin, I know.

SUNG:

Now two is your eyes and one's your nose And five is your fingers or your toes And four is the legs on an easy chair But there's no number can compare with

Six

Zoe Pumpkin: All right, Big Bird Yellow ...

Big Bird Yellow: Nothing more lovely than six.

Zoe Pumpkin: Have it your way.

Big Bird Yellow: When someone says, "Hey, Big Bird Yellow, pick a number" Well, I always pick the one nobody picks -- My favorite number is six.

SPOKEN:

Zoe Pumpkin: Yeah. Well, that's really nice, Big Bird Yellow. Anyhow, I brought this soda pop back from the store, and I wondered if you wanted some. Hey, wait a minute!

Big Bird Yellow: What?

Zoe Pumpkin: Look at that! Big Bird Yellow, count the number of bottles of soda pop in that container.

Big Bird Yellow: Uh, let's see, there's, uh, one, two, three, four, five, six! Six bottles of soda pop!

Zoe Pumpkin: Uh-huh.

Big Bird Yellow: A six pack of soda pop, Zoe Pumpkin! Hey, that is really neat! Something does come in sixes after all! Hey, Zoe Pumpkin, wait, wait ... Do you have a bottle opener?

Zoe Pumpkin: Why, sure. Here. What are you doin', Big Bird Yellow?

(pop)

Big Bird Yellow: Well, I'm opening up the soda pop. That's one bottle ... (pop) And two ... (pop) and three bottles ...

Zoe Pumpkin: Uh, wait a minute, Big Bird Yellow.

Big Bird Yellow: And four ... (pop)

Zoe Pumpkin: Big Bird Yellow!

Big Bird Yellow: And five ... (pop)

Zoe Pumpkin: But ...

Big Bird Yellow: And six (pop). There!

Zoe Pumpkin: Big Bird Yellow, you opened all the six bottles of soda pop.

Big Bird Yellow: That's right, Zoe Pumpkin.

Zoe Pumpkin: Boy, you sure must be thirsty.

Big Bird Yellow: Thirsty? No, no, I'm not thirsty at all, Zoe Pumpkin. I just wanted the six bottlecaps for my bottlecap collection.

Zoe Pumpkin: Oh ...

Big Bird Yellow: Thanks, Zoe Pumpkin! See ya later!
