(Big Bird coughs and wheezes)
Good morning. Finished with your breakfast?
Yes. I wanna go home.
This is your lunch menu.
Pick what you want for lunch by drawing a circle 'round it.
Yeah, great.
- Shh! - Thanks.
(coughing)
Gee whizz.
I'll have to get a grownup to read this to me.
Maybe Maria when she wakes up.
(sighing)
Good morning!
I know. Open wide.
Yes.
(coughing)
Okay. Here we go. Here we go.
(coughing)
Okay.
(clearing throat)
(Big Bird humming)
(beeping)
(Big Bird mumbles)
(scribbling noises)
(humming)
Not bad!
(Big Bird mumbles)
Okay! One second.
Alright, let's see.
Oh! We're doing great today.
(coughing)
And now for some medicine.
Here we go. Got it?
(sucking)
Very good. Very good.
(coughing)
Okay. Now, if you want to call me
you press this button, talk, and I'll hear you.
If there's anything you want, just call me, okay?
Okay. (mumbling)
Okay, bye bye.
There is something I want.
I wanna go home!
Good morning, Big Bird!
Oh, Maria! (coughing)
You won't believe this.
They took my temperature again.
And my blood pressure again,
and I'm doing this medicine thing again.
(coughing)
And I'm stuck in bed, and they keep doing the same things
over and over!
Well, they have to, Big Bird, in order to make you better!
Ow! Well, it's boring.
I wanna go home.
Well, just relax, do what they say, and you will go home.
But until you're better, you've gotta be patient.

Visitors?!
(Cookie Monster) Hi, Big Bird!

(laughter)
Hey, turkey! This place is so clean, it makes me sick!
(chiding) Oscar!
Big Bird, I brought you some coloring books and crayons.
You mean you can color in the hospital?
Sure!
We brought you some fruit.
Oh, thanks, Mr. Mack.
Me bring you flowers.
Oh, uh...they were delicious.
Oh! Me bring you cookies! But, uh...me ate them.
Oh well.
And here's somebody I know you really wanna see!
Ta da!
Oh, Radar!
And we're gonna come visit you everyday!
Everyday.
Oh, hey! You know, this may not be so bad after all.
(all chatter)
(thunder rumbles)
(sighing)
(coughing) Oh.
Oh, I can't sleep.
It's night and everybody's gone home.
Even Maria. She had to take care of Gabby.
So I'm all alone.
Well, not really. The nurse is just down the hall.
But I feel lonely.
I'll call her.
(beeping)
(nurse) Yes, Big Bird?
What can I do for you?
Well, nothing...I just wanted to make sure you were there.
I am. And I'll be here all night.
Good night.
Oh, good night.
I still feel lonely.
Gee, I wish somebody would come.
Hey, Big Bird!
Hoots? What're you doing here?
I'm visiting my good pal, Big Bird!
Boy, am I glad to see you! (coughing)
But, you know, you shouldn't be here 'cause visiting hours are over.
Well, not for owls.
How you feeling, Big?
Better.
I mean, it's much easier than breathing.
Everyone's taking good care of me and I have a nice nurse
and a nice doctor and a nice bed
and everything, but...
But what?
It's hard to sleep alone in a strange place.
Sometimes you have to do things that aren't easy.
Just for a while. Till things get better.
Now, you need your sleep.
So snuggle down and listen to this.
Thanks, Hoots, but...

Why don't we ask the nurse if you can go the play room.
Play room?
Yes!
There's a play room here?!
(laughter)
Gee...you mean all these kids are sick too?
Yes!
You didn't think you were the only one, did you?
Well, yes.
No.

Wow!
(doctor) Now breath in...and out.
That's it. In again.
Ah, good! Good. That tweet is completely gone.
Oh, and I feel really good too.
And your temperature and your blood pressure are normal.
You can go home tomorrow.
Tomorrow? Wow!
Oh, that's wonderful, Big Bird.
I'll pick you up in the morning.
Yeah? Oh, thanks a lot, doctor.
You're welcome. You were a good patient.
Well, you were a good doctor.
I hope I see you soon...but not too soon!
Well, as a matter of fact, I would like to see you in a few days.
What?
Well, not here. In my office.
Oh, okay.
It's for a check up and see how he's doing, you know?
Well, good night.
Good night? It's not bedtime!
For me, it is! The sooner I go to sleep, the sooner it'll be tomorrow.
Alley oop!
Okay, thanks, Jim!
Here you go.
Oh, Maria.
Well? You're all checked out.
Ready to go?
Oh, gosh yes! I'm gonna get a free ride to the front door?
Yeah, everybody does.
And I'm gonna say goodbye to everyone.
It's gonna be fun!
You know, Big Bird, that's the thing about hospitals.
Just when you start having fun, it's time to go home.
Oh, yeah. Goodbye, bed.
Goodbye, bedroom. Goodbye, medicine machine.
Okay!
Let's go!
Okay.
(laughter) Whee!
I'm feeling much better.
(Big Bird) Bye, kids!
(patients) Bye, Big Bird!
(nurse) You did great!
Goodbye, nurse.
Now, look. You take good care of yourself.
Oh, I really will.
Bye bye!
Going home! (laughs)
(Big Bird) Bye, nurse. Thank you!
Bye, Big Bird.
And don't worry, little girl.
It wasn't that bad.
Oh, thanks for the X-Ray.
And thanks for my bracelet.
Come on, Big Bird!
Oh, and Jim? Thanks for all the rides.
Come on!
Goodbye, place.
And you didn't want to come here!
Goodbye!
Bye bye.
Oh, let's go! I see the bus.
Oh, oh, oh! Wait!
Bye hospital! I'm not afraid of you anymore. (laughs)
Goodbye, chairs. Goodbye, windows.
Goodbye, man on the ladder.
Big Bird, let's go!
Okay, geeze.
(clearing throat)
Gee...Maria?
Where is everybody?
Hey! The turkey's back.
And he looks disgustingly healthy.
Hey, Big Bird!
How are you?
Hello!
Uh-oh. Happiness. I'm gettin' outta here.
It's Snuffy!
Hi, Snuffy!
Bird. I missed you, Bird.
Oh, I missed you.
(Elmo) Big Bird!
(Gordon) We all missed you.
Yeah!
(Elmo) Big Bird!
Welcome home, Big Bird.
(Elmo) Big Biiird!
We are all so happy to see you. Really.
Wait a minute! Elmo want to ask a question.
Big Bird, how was it, being in the hospital?
Well, it wasn't all fun...
but it wasn't all bad, either.
I had a picture of my insides taken with an X-Ray machine.
(Elmo) Wow!
And my bed went up and down when you pushed a button.
Wow!
That sounds like fun, Bird.
And I could choose the food I wanted to eat.
Ooh! Double wow!
Yes, and I passed a blood test and I made new friends,
and I got this special bracelet with my own name on it. See?
Wow, that's neat, Big Bird.
And they found out what was wrong with him and made him better.
Yeah, listen to me breath.
(silence)
Huh? Elmo doesn't hear anything.
That's because I'm all better! (laughter)
Oh! Okay, Maria, time to take Elmo to hospital.
What?!
Well, Elmo want to go to hospital like Big Bird.
(laughs) Elmo, you 're not sick.
Ooh.
But Elmo, we could play hospital!
And you'll be the patient.
Oh, yaaaaay!
I could take a picture of your insides with my X-Ray Snuffle!
(laughs) Good, Snuffy! Oh, Elmo need bracelet.
Wait a minute! Wait a minute.
(Elmo) Oh, good.
Here you go, Elmo. You can have my bracelet.
See?
Give me your wrist.
Okay.
Snap it on there...
You see? Now you have a bracelet!
Aww, look at this! That's nice. Thank you!
You're welcome.
Well, have a good time!
Yes, enjoy yourself.
Thanks, Maria.
(all say goodbye)
When do we start then?
Okay, okay! This is the hospital.
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
And this time I'm the doctor. (laughs)
Oh! Doctor Big Bird.
- Okay? - Okay!
Open up, let me take a look.
- Okay. AAAH! - Say "aaaah".
- Say "ooh". -Oooh.
