- Oh this?

00:05.533 --> 00:08.133 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Well, they sent it to
Elmo for the big surprise!

- Cool, cool!

00:09.000 --> 00:10.866 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
Did they send me one?

00:10.866 --> 00:12.900 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
- Oh, wait, Elmo will check.

00:12.900 --> 00:14.100 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
Um...

00:15.833 --> 00:16.800 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
You know...

00:16.800 --> 00:18.400 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
they only sent one.

00:18.400 --> 00:20.066 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
But, uh, you know this--

00:20.066 --> 00:22.000 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
this fits Elmo pretty well.

00:22.000 --> 00:23.633 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
- Yeah, yeah, of course. It--

00:23.633 --> 00:25.466 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
I mean, yeah, it looks good.

00:25.466 --> 00:27.633 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
I'm not--I'm not
disappointed at all.

00:27.633 --> 00:28.600 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%

00:30.066 --> 00:31.266 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
You know what? Um...

00:31.266 --> 00:33.033 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Maybe--maybe Elmo
should tell everybody

00:33.033 --> 00:35.000 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
about the big surprise now.

00:35.000 --> 00:36.600 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
- Yeah, yeah, of course.
Yeah, yeah.

00:36.600 --> 00:37.833 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
I bet it has something to do

00:37.833 --> 00:39.866 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
with the uniform
thst you're wearing.

00:39.866 --> 00:42.566 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%

00:42.566 --> 00:46.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
See, Elmo is dressed up like,
uh, some American heroes

00:46.266 --> 00:48.666 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
who are out of this world!

00:48.666 --> 00:50.066 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%

(Elmo laughs)

00:50.066 --> 00:53.666 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%

so hard every day to
support our missions.

01:28.000 --> 01:30.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
