Avenue Q Visits the Big Blue House/Transcript

(The special starts with Princeton and Kate Monster in their apartment watching TV.)
Princeton: (Sighs) It's such a beautiful day today.
Kate Monster: I know. There's nothing better than watching TV with you, Princeton.
Princeton: Aww! Thanks!
Kate Monster: How much better can this day possibly get?
(Then they hear Almo, Ginger, Kieran and Lizzie coming)
Almo, Ginger, Kieran and Lizzie: Mom! Dad! Mom! Mom! Dad! Dad! Mom!
Kate Monster: Oh! Hello, kids!
Princeton: What are you all excited about?
Lizzie: We got invited to the Big Blue House to celebrate Tutter's birthday!
Kate Monster: Wait! Do you mean Bear from the show Bear in the Big Blue House?
Lizzie: That's right, mom! 
Kate Monster: Oh! How exciting!
Princeton: I'll read what it says. (Clears throat) "Dear Almo, Ginger, Kieran and Lizzie, You are cordially invited to visit me and my friends at the Big Blue House. We're getting ready for a birthday party for our friend Tutter and we need help with the cake, decorations and presents. There will also lots of surprises as well. I hope to see you there! Your friend, Bear."
Kieran: (Gasps) Oh, my god! We're going to meet Bear and all his friends from the Big Blue House! I am such a huge fan! I've watched all 120 episodes of the show! Believe me, I have an entire collection of Bear in the Big Blue House merchandise such as books, toys, VHS' and DVD's! I even have the live stage show on DVD! And I also have the CD's featuring songs from the show that I can listen to while I'm on the go!
Ginger: I did not know that about you, Kieran!
Almo: Yeah! It looks like you're Bear's biggest fan!
Kieran: Point taken.
(All of a sudden, the doorbell rang.)
Kate Monster: Oh! We're coming!
(Kate Monster opened the door and saw almost every single one of her friends with the invitations that herself, Princeton, Almo, Ginger, Kieran and Lizzie got.)
All: Hello!
Kate Monster: Hello, everyone! How wonderful to see you all!
Julian: Thanks, Kate! And guess what? We all got the invitations to the Big Blue House as well!
Princeton: Wow! Guess it looks like Kate, the kids and I are not the only ones invited!
Luckl-Duckl Bird: Well, you're in for a big surprise! And so are the rest of us! Because like you, Kieran, We are all fans of Bear in the Big Blue House, too!
Kieran: Yeah! And we'll get to meet Ojo, Treelo, Tutter and Pip and Pop as well!

(Tutter pops up behind the table.)
Tutter: Hi, Bear! Hi, Pip! Hi, Pop! Hi, Tally! Oh! Hi, everyone!
All: Hi, Tutter!
Tutter: I heard you all were talking about my birthday.
Bear: We sure are, Tutter. A birthday is a special day because you now can do great things now that you’re older.
Tutter: Really?
The Avenue Q Gang: (Agreeing)
Tutter: Oh, boy! I can't wait to try all the new things I can do when I am older!
TUTTER:
When I’m older,
It'll be so great!
I can hardly, hardly wait
Till I'm older!
It's gonna be so neat
To learn to tie my shoes
On my own two feet
Folks will stop and stare
When they see the grown-up clothes I wear
I’m gonna learn to cook, Yeah
Read the recipes from a book
What a feeling it’ll be
To write my name myself
For the whole world to see!
When I'm older
TUTTER, BEAR, PIP, POP, TALLY AND THE AVENUE Q GANG:
It'll be so great
I/he can hardly, hardly wait!
TUTTER:

BEAR, PIP, POP, Tally AND THE AVENUE Q GANG:
He just might!
TUTTER:
Maybe someday, someday soon
I'll be the very first
TUTTER, BEAR, PIP, POP, TALLY AND THE AVENUE Q GANG:

Bear: Why, sure! There's always plenty of room here in the Big Blue House!
The Avenue Q Gang: (simultaneously) Yeah! Okay! Wow! Cool! Oh, boy! (Laughing)
BEAR:
In the morning, When I wake up
I stretch and shake my head
It feels so great to be in my own bed
Walk to the kitchen, Make my special cup of tea
And stop to think it's so nice to be right here
In my home sweet home
I've got my favorite chair
Yes, in my home sweet home
My favorite things are there
Because my sweet home is so perfect for a bear
Gee, it's great to be at home
I love to sniff my way around my Big Blue House
Or read a book or sit and talk with a mouse
My favorite guide book has my favorite bear shampoo
And best of all I get to spend time with you!
Cause in your home sweet home
I'm sure that you'll agree that your
Home sweet home is the perfect place to be
Cause it's your home sweet home
And everybody knows
It's great to be at home
Yeah, it's great to be at home
Yeah, it's great to be at home
BEAR: (SPOKEN)
Home sweet home.
BEAR AND THE AVENUE Q GANG:

(Bear and the Avenue Q Gang are in the living room relaxing.)
Princeton: Your home is very nice, Bear.
Bear: (Sighs) It sure is.
Almo: Almo loves being at home!
Bear: Me too! But you know what? I think something came in the mail today.
Olive Hoover: What is it?
Bear: Good question. Let's go check the mail.
Kieran: Oh boy, Here comes one of my favorite songs!
BEAR:
What's in the mail today?
What's in the mail today?
What's in the mail today
What's in the mail today?
Is it a picture that my grandpa drew?
Of grandma dancing with a kangaroo?
It could be a cookie recipe
From my aunt who says she thinks the world of me
Is it a story from a magazine?
About a monkey in a submarine?
I would laugh to see a photograph
Of my good friend jumping rope with a giraffe
What's in the mail today?
What's in the mail today?
It would be fun to send a letter back
Ooh hoo, yeah
It makes me smile to think my friends will say
AVENUE Q GANG: (SPOKEN)

BEAR:
"I wonder what's in the mail today!"
What's in the mail today?
What's in the mail today?
I wonder, wonder

(Bear opens the letter)
Bear: (Reading the letter) "Dear Bear, Happy birthday to my special Tutter! I'm so excited that it's your special day and I hope you get lots and lots of cheese! See you soon! Love, Grandma Flutter."

Bear: Hey! Speaking of birthdays, how about you all help my friends get ready for the party?
Avenue Q Gang: Yeah!
Bear: Great! Come on, everybody!
(The Avenue Q Gang go back inside the Big Blue House. Bear then looks at the viewers.)
Bear: (to the viewer) You know, getting ready for a birthday party can be so much fun! But, what do you think? What do you like about having a birthday party? Hmm?
(A animated question mark appears on the screen and a video clip of children talking about birthdays play)
Boy #1: I get presents, I get to stay up late
Boy #2: Getting presents!
Girl #1: Getting presents!
Boy #3: And growing bigger!

Bear: Okay, everyone! How about we check on Ojo to see how she's doing with the cake?
Rue: Sounds good to me, Bear!
Tank: Yeah!
Bear: Okay then! Let's go!
(Bear and the Avenue Q Gang head to the kitchen)
Bear: Ojo? Ojo?
(Bear then sees Ojo with a chef's hat and apron getting ready to make a cake)
Ojo: Oh! There you all are! I was just getting ready to make the most delicious cake for Tutter! And I need lots of help!
Bear: Hey, will you all help Ojo with making the birthday cake for Tutter?
The Avenue Q Gang: Yeah! Sure! Definitely! 
Bear: Well, then, what are we waiting for?
Mr. Cook: Let's get cooking!
Axe: Chop, chop, everybody!
BEAR:
If you take hot milk and you pour in powder
And you put it in the freezer and you leave it about an hour
If it's brown and sweet when you put it on your tongue
Did you make French fries?
OJO: (SPOKEN)
(Laughs)
No, pudding!
ANGELITA: (SPOKEN)
Delicioso!
BEAR:
If you mush an apple and you squoosh a lemon
Squish an orange and squash a melon
And you poor it in a glass and you serve it for lunch
Is it liver and onions?
BEAN:(SPOKEN)
No, it's punch!
BEAR:(SPOKEN)
Mmm, mmm!
ALL:
Magic in the kitchen with a splash and a splatter
Magic in the kitchen with abracadabra
BEAR:
There's magic in the cake and casserole
And the very best part's when you lick the bowl!
JOAN: (SPOKEN)
I've got the eggs! (laughs)
BEAR:
Peel a banana, drop it in a dish
Add some ice cream and that's if you wish
Drizzle some syrup all over it
Is it fish?
OJO: (SPOKEN)
No, a banana split!
BASALT: (SPOKEN)
Now let's mix it all together!
OJO:
I make my favorite recipe with chopped up cheese
Melted chocolate and some pears and some peas
Stir it all together with an avocado
BEAR: (SPOKEN)
What do I call it?
OJO: (SPOKEN)
(Laughs) I don't know!
KATE MONSTER: (SPOKEN)
How about...
ALL:
Magic in the kitchen with a splash and a splatter
Magic in the kitchen with abracadabra
Magic in the cake and a casserole
And the very best part's when you lick the bowl!
(The cake is put inside an oven. A little while later, the oven dings.)
Bear: Hey! The cake is ready!
Matilda Honey: Oh, boy!
(Ojo opens the oven and sees the birthday cake and takes it out of the oven.)
Kieran: Wow! That is one sweet-looking birthday cake!
Ojo: I'll try it!
(Ojo licks the frosting on the cake.)
Ojo: (Gasps) It's delicious!
(Everyone cheers)
Ojo: Thank you all for helping me with the cake!
Bear: You're welcome, Ojo!
Kate Monster: See you at the party!
Bear: Wow! The birthday cake is great!
(Everyone hears a stomach growling.)
Terry: Oh! That's my stomach! That birthday cake sure has made me hungry.
Bear: (Laughs) Terry, you should wait until the party starts to have the cake.
Terry: Oh, I hate waiting.
Sunspot: Patience, Terry.
Bear: How about we check on Pip, Pop and Tally to see how they're doing with the decorations?
Bean: Sure!
Bear: Great! Come on!
(Bear and the Avenue Q Gang head inside the living room to find it a mess)
Bear: Pip? Pop? Tally? How's it coming with those...
Pip and Pop: Hi, Bear.
(Bear and the Avenue Q Gang saw Pip and Pop tangled up. Tally tries to help them.)
Ginger: They're all tangled up!
Princeton: This is not good.
Tally: Oh, hi guys. We're trying to decorate the living room, but Pip and Pop got all tangled up in some of the streamers.
Greg the Bunny: Aww. What should we do to help?
Pip: Just pull that streamer.
Bear: Okay.
Kate Monster: We should help, too.
Stephanie: One, two, three!
(Bear and the Avenue Q Gang pull the streamer and Pip and Pop got untangled by spinning. They then get dizzy.)
Bear: Are you two alright?
Pip and Pop: We're fine.
Pip: Just a little...
Pop: ...dizzy.
Tally: Pip! Pop! You're okay!
Pip and Pop: Thanks, guys!
(Rod sees a balloon.)
Rod: Look! It's a balloon! 
(Rod tries to blow up the balloon. After a few tries, he panted.)
Rod: (high-pitched) That was quite some good stuff. (Notices his voice) What happened to my voice? Why do I sound like a chipmunk?
(Everyone laughs)
Pip and Pop: We love birthday parties!
(A balloon pops)
Pip and Pop: Oops!

Bear: Oh! Hi, Ursa!
Ursa: Hello, Bear!
(Bear and Ursa hug each other)
Bear: Ursa, these are my friends from Avenue Q. They've come for a visit.
The Avenue Q Gang: Hi, Ursa! Nice to meet you! Hello!
