Sesame Street Presents: Follow that Bird1985

Big Bird:
Gee. There's still no sign of Sesame Street. Nothing but amber waves of grain. I think I'm lost. What'll I do? I wish Snuffy were here. Then I'd be lost with my best friend.

[at that moment, a mirage-like image of Snuffy appears in the field]

Mr. Snuffleupagus:
Hello, Bird.

Big Bird:
Snuffy? I thought I'd never see you again! I can hardly see you now.

Mr. Snuffleupagus:
That is because you are imagining me, Bird.

Big Bird:
Oh. Well, it's so good to almost see you. I suppose a hug is out of the question, you being imaginary right now.

Mr. Snuffleupagus:
You could imagine that we're hugging, Bird.

Big Bird:
That's right. How brilliant. Here it comes.

[Big Bird and Snuffleupagus try to hug, but keep passing through each other]

Big Bird:
Oh, I'm afraid this isn't working, Snuffy. For hugging, you need the real thing.

Mr. Snuffleupagus:
Don't worry, Bird. We can hug for real when you get back to Sesame Street.

Big Bird:
''If'' I ever get back to Sesame Street. But I will.
