You know what they really like on Sesame Street? They really like the alphabet." The characters hold up letters that introduce their names: A is for Athelstan, B is for Bob, and as Cookie Monster reminds us, C is for Cookies! Then there's David, Ernie, Farley, Gordon, Hooper, Ingrid, Jay, Kermit, Luis, Maria, Nancy, Oscar, Prairie, Queen, Roosevelt, Susan, Trey, Ursula, Vanessa, Willy, and Xavier. Grover says, "Y is for You, and you visit Sesame Street every day!" Big Bird admits, "And Z... well, Z is for... You know, I don't think there's anybody on Sesame Street whose name begins with Z! Oh, well. Can't have everything!" This problem that Big Bird describes is finally solved in 1993, with the introduction of a character whose name begins with Z.

Everybody walks, talks, breathes, eats breakfast and yawns. Ernie suggests that everybody loves to play in the tubby with their rubber duckie. Bert disagrees. He doesn't have a rubber duckie, and he doesn't want one. Bert says that everybody loves watching his favorite TV show, The Wonderful World of Pigeons. Ernie says, "You know what, Bert? I hate that show! It's a terrible show! That's a dull show, Bert!" Bert counters, "That's the most exciting show on TV! They have all the pigeons of the world on that show! Gray ones... speckled ones..." Bob gives another example by pretending to sleep, while Trey plays with Ernie's nose and Kathleen plays with Bert's. Bob "wakes up", and explains that everybody sleeps.
