(Big Bird is standing in front of 123 Sesame Street)
Big Bird: Hello. Right now, I am about to go to Looper's Store. Hey, I've got an idea! I wil count how many more steps it will take to get to Dooper's Store! (counting each step) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. It took me seven steps!

Mr. Hooper: Did you enjoy your birdseed milshake?
Big Bird: Oh, yes I did. Thanks a lot!
Mr. Hooper: My pleasure.
Big Bird: By the way, do you know what day today is? I forgot.
Mr. Hooper: Today is thursday, Big Bird.
Big Bird: Oh, that's good to know. And did you know that there are seven days in a week?
Mr. Hooper: Yes, yes I did. And I know somebody who knows each day of the week.
Big Bird: Yeah, Roosevelt Franklin.
Mr. Hooper: Uh, right, but I was referring to myself.
Big Bird: Oh.

Biff: Sully and I are about to have our lunch.
(Sully nods his head)
Biff: We are having maceronni and meatballs for lunch, marshmellows for dessert, and milk to drink.
(Sully nods, and then is about to talk)
Biff: (interrupting) Hey, Sully, did you know that everything that we are eating begins with the letter M?
(Sully nods)
Biff: Another M word is monster, and here are two of them.

Gordon: Hey, kids. This is the letter M!
Kids: Cool!

(Oscar pops his head out of his trash can)
Oscar: M also starts the word mud!
Gordon: That's right, Oscar.
Oscar: Wait a minute, you....
Gordon: Yep, minute is also an M word.
(Oscar groans and goes back into his trash can, slamming the lid hard)
Gordon: M also stands for monster.

Gordon: Hello, Herry.
Herry: Oh, that's a mighty magnifficent letter M you've got there!
Gordon: Thank you.
Herry: May I hold it?
Gordon: Okay, but be careful.
(Herry grabs it, but accidently breaks part of it off, making it look like an N)
Gordon: Oh, no!
Oscar: (popping out of trash can) Oh, yes! No is an N word.
Herry: I am sorry.
Gordon: That's... that's okay.
Oscar and Herry: Okay?
Gordon: Yes, we were supposed to teach you the letter N, too.
