04:37
You know what’s funny is that that cactus can run.
04:39
[Abby] And he’s not sweating
04:40
Yeah well, it might be sweating but all the water
04:42
would be on the inside.
04:43
[Abby] But they’re in sweat pants in the desert,
04:45
that makes no sense.
04:47
You know what’s missing from this picture,
04:48

Looking at him
05:15
Hmmm
05:16
[Cookie Monster] He’s kinda
05:17
He’s kinda showing off
05:18
[Cookie Monster] Maybe he’s trying to get their attention
05:19
[Elmo] Aha
05:20
Or um, or uh
05:20
And then someone decided it’d be..
05:21
Or, or plastic snowman
05:22
Yes, but it’s been established that there
05:23

06:01
Yup, oh but look at this guy over here
06:03
[Abby] Oh, he’s brought a little ball,
06:04
maybe that’s an appetizer of a ball. You think there’s
06:07
anybody in that pool?
06:09
[Big Bird] I don’t think so, I think the ball is taking up
06:11
all, all the space for the swimming.
06:12
[Abby] You, who do you think brought that ball?
06:14
Like Snuffy, that looks like a ball big enough that
06:17
Snuffy would bring.
06:18
Yeah, its uh, very big
06:19
Aahhh, I, I think I’ve got something
06:21

06:40
[Cookie Monster] But he’s way too big to be in,
06:42
in that crib.
06:43
[Elmo] In his old baby crib, with a, with a baby monitor
06:46
It looks like he’s talking into the monitor to somebody
06:49
and uh..
06:50
Maybe his mommy
06:51
Ooh, maybe
06:52
Yeah
06:53
Okay, it looks like is, he’s got his little
06:55
pajamas on but they, they too small for him
06:57
Yeah, they’re his pajamas from when
06:59
he was a baby, probably.
07:00
[Cookie Monster] Yeah, the little night light
07:01
and some baby pictures on wall.
