Big Bird : Hey, I've got a great idea. Let's play make-believe. I'll be Snow White.
Donnie Dodo : But you're not Snow White.
Marie Dodo : You're bright yellow.
Donnie Dodo : Yeah.
Big Bird : [not choosing to notice this remark] And you could be the Seven Dwarves.
Donnie Dodo : But we're not dwarves.
Marie Dodo : We're birds.
Big Bird : I said we just could make believe. You know, pretend? Uh, use your imagination.
Donnie Dodo : Oh, okay. I'll pretend I'm Donnie.
Marie Dodo : And I'll pretend I'm Marie.

Daddy Dodo : Who's Mr. Sniffuplaga
[struggles with the name]
Daddy Dodo : Sniffleblguh
Big Bird : Snuff-Snuffleupagus.
Daddy Dodo : Yeah.
Big Bird : Well, he's my best friend.
Mommy Dodo : What kind of a bird is he?
Big Bird : He's not a bird. He's a Snuffleupagus.
[the Dodos laugh]
Donnie Dodo : Snuffle-guppy-gus.
Daddy Dodo : But your best friend should be a bird.
Big Bird : Why?
Mommy Dodo : Because you're a bird. Isn't that right, Daddy?
Daddy Dodo : That's right, Mommy. And you should be with your own kind: birds.
Mommy Dodo : You'll find lots of birds your own age.
Daddy Dodo : And make some new best friends. Now come on out and hunt for worms.
Big Bird : But I don't want to hunt for worms! I want Snuffy to come and visit! And if he can't come and visit, I don't want to be here anymore! I want to go home!
Mommy Dodo : But you ARE home!
