ABBY: Sure!
Do you know how to play checkers, Cookie Monster?

COOKIE MONSTER: Me have no idea.
ABBY: OK.
Well, you see these things here?
COOKIE MONSTER: Yeah.
ABBY: OK, these are checkers.
COOKIE MONSTER: Oh, wow.
Those checkers?
You sure?
ABBY: Well, absolutely.
COOKIE MONSTER: Because, you know, the reason me ask,
because, you know, shape of those checkers--
ABBY: Yeah, these checkers are shaped like circles, you know?
So they're round.
COOKIE MONSTER: Yeah, right.
Right.
And you know, that round shape, kind of remind me of,
you know, cookie!
ABBY: What?
What?
COOKIE MONSTER: Om nom nom nom!
[SCREAMING]
ABBY: Cookie Monster, those are not cookies!
Oh, Now, Now look what you've done, Cookie!
We can't play checkers because, well, you've eaten up
all the checkers!
COOKIE MONSTER: Yeah, sorry.
Sorry about that.
ABBY: No, that's OK.
You know, if we're gonna play checkers, maybe we'll play
with a different shape.
COOKIE MONSTER: Good idea.
Me like that idea.
ABBY: I got an idea.
COOKIE MONSTER: What?
ABBY: Here's what we're gonna do.
COOKIE MONSTER: Yeah.
ABBY: Just like a raisin is a dried up grape, make me a
checker of a different shape!
Look!
There you go.
No more circles.
OK?
Now we can play checkers with these, because they won't
remind you of cookies.
COOKIE MONSTER: Oh, OK.
Well, what these?
ABBY: They're squares.
See?
They have four equal sides.
1, 2, 3, 4, and four angles.
1, 2, 3, 4.
COOKIE MONSTER: Yeah, oh, this very nice.
ABBY: Yes, so now we can play.
COOKIE MONSTER: Yeah, you know what this kind
of remind me of?
Ha ha ha ha ha?
ABBY: Not cookies?
COOKIE MONSTER: No.

This square.
ABBY: Exactly!
COOKIE MONSTER: Yeah.
Yeah, you know, this square thing, it kind of reminds me
of, uh, graham cracker.
ABBY: Huh?

Please, can you make a non cookie shape checker, please?
ABBY: OK.
COOKIE MONSTER: Then we can play checkers.
ABBY: OK.

I will think of a shape that does not look like a cookie.
COOKIE MONSTER: OK.

ABBY: I am a shape pro, not a rookie.
Please bring me a shape that does not look like a cookie.
Yes!
COOKIE MONSTER: Oh, boy, what these?

Let's see.
This shape has 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 sides.
And 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 angles.
So it is an octagon.
A checker with eight sides.
COOKIE MONSTER: Oh, that octagon, huh?
ABBY: Uh-huh.
COOKIE MONSTER: Boy.
ABBY: You know any cookies that look like that?
COOKIE MONSTER: Uh, no.
Me no think that me seen any cookies with eight sides and
eight angles, no.
Me never even hear of cookie like that.
ABBY: Oh, great!
Then we can finally play checkers.
COOKIE MONSTER: Teriffic!
ABBY: I just need to put the checkers on the board.
COOKIE MONSTER: OK.
Wow!
ABBY: What?
