Vroom vroom, vroom!

Who's this?
FURGUS: Oh, meet my newest plant, Mr. Evergroan.
MR. EVERGROAN: Oh.
FUNELLA: Oh, welcome to the Furchester Hotel!
We welcome you with furry arms!
MR. EVERGROAN: Oh, thank you!
Well, I'm very happy to be here.
FURGUS: And I've got the perfect place
to put you, Mr. Evergroan.
MR. EVERGROAN: Oh, well, anywhere is fine.
I'm really not fussy.
HARVEY P. DULL: Hey, which way are you going?
FURGUS: Oh, sorry Mr. Dull.
New plant coming through!
Here we are, Mr. Evergroan, your new home.
MR. EVERGROAN: Oh, it's perfect!
FURGUS: I thought you'd like it.
MR. EVERGROAN: Oh, I love it!
But it does feel just a touch drafty for me here.
FURGUS: Well, uh, maybe that is a bit of a breeze.
OK.
Let's try over there.
Hm.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
FURGUS: There you go, Mr. Evergroan.
How does that feel?
MR. EVERGROAN: It's not drafty at all!
It's the perfect place.
What was that?
IN UNISON: Tea time!
[CHEERING]
MR. EVERGROAN: Perfect, except for all the noise.
It is a bit loud in here.
FURGUS: Oh, don't worry, Mr. Evergroan.
Normally, it's nice and quiet.
[LAUGHING]
PHOEBE: Yee-haw!
ELMO: Outside, Mr. Dull!
FURGUS: Well, maybe it is a little noisy after all.
Oh!
What if we try the dining room?
MR. EVERGROAN: Any place is fine.
I'm not fussy.
You can put me down anywhere and I'll grow roots.
Oh.
FURGUS: There you go!
MR. EVERGROAN: Not drafty and not too noisy.
Yes, this place is perfect.
Except, um, what is that smell?
FURGUS: Ah, wonderful, isn't it?
MR. EVERGROAN: Well, yes, if you like the smell of--
COOKIE MONSTER: Cookies!
Dum de dum dum dum dum dum.
Yeah, here come cookies served fresh from oven.
MR. EVERGROAN: Oh, dear.
Oh, well, that's a problem for me.
I don't like the smell of cookies.
I don't like it at all.
COOKIE MONSTER: Oh.
Oh, that no problem Mr. Plant, sir!
Me know how to get rid of these cookies!
Yum num num num!
Num num num num.
Yum num num num num num!
[CHOMPING]
COOKIE MONSTER: There, all gone.
But there more in oven!
Ha ha ha!
MR. EVERGROAN: Oh, dear.
FURGUS: OK, OK!
All right, we'll just try somewhere else.
Come on.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
FURGUS: Here we go.
Not drafty and not noisy.
And no cookie smell!
MR. EVERGROAN: Yes.
It's the perfect place.
FURGUS: Oh, finally we've found a perfect place for you!
MR. EVERGROAN: Except--
FURGUS: Except for what?
MR. EVERGROAN: The curtains.
FURGUS: The curtains?
MR. EVERGROAN: Yes.
They're a bit flowery, aren't they?
FURGUS: Oh, dear.
Perhaps this wasn't the best solution after all.
Let's try another, please, shall we?
MR. EVERGROAN: Oh, well.
Any place is fine by me.
As you know, I'm not--
FURGUS: I know.
I know.
You're not fussy.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
MR. EVERGROAN: Too up and downy.
ELMO: Bye-bye.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
FURGUS: This must be the perfect place.
It's not drafty or noisy.
There are no cookie smells or flowery curtains, and look,
it's not up and downy!
MR. EVERGROAN: Oh, and it's nice and sunny.
It's perfect.
FURGUS: Yes!
MR. EVERGROAN: But do you think it's a little too sunny?
FURGUS: What?
MR. EVERGROAN: I mean, I love the sun.
It helps me grow.
But not too much sun.
Well, maybe we could try the bedroom again?
FURGUS: [LAUGHS NERVOUSLY] Yes!
MR. EVERGROAN: Or the dining room?
FURGUS: Oh, mhm!
MR. EVERGROAN: And I love the lift.
Except when it was going up and down.
FURGUS: [LAUGHS] [GROANS]
MR. EVERGROAN: Um, is something wrong?
FURGUS: Wrong?
What could be wrong?
Wait here.
I'll be back in a moment.
PHOEBE: We've taken all the cases to the guests' rooms,
mum.
ELMO: Yep!
Phoebe and Elmo did a good job!
FUNELLA: Oh, thank you!
Furgus will be happy.
FURGUS: [PANTING]
ELMO: Oh, boy.
Uncle Furgus doesn't sound happy.
FUNELLA: Goodness, dear.
What's the matter?
Is there a problem?
FURGUS: I'm so frustrated!
FUNELLA: Calm down, Furgus.
FURGUS: Hm?
FUNELLA: Breathe.
FURGUS: Oh, OK.
FUNELLA: Deep breaths!
ELMO: Yeah.
FUNELLA: Breathe in through your nose.
FURGUS: [INHALES]
FUNELLA: And out through your mouth.
FURGUS: [EXHALES]
FUNELLA: That's it.
From the belly now.
Breathe in through your nose--
FURGUS: [INHALES]
FUNELLA: Slowly, slowly.
And out through your mouth.
FURGUS: [EXHALES]
FUNELLA: Slowly, slowly.
That's it, dear.
Now, tell us what's got you all worked up.
FURGUS: It's Mr. Evergroan!
FUNELLA: Your new plant?
FURGUS: I've been carrying him around all day, and--
FUNELLA: Deep breaths!
Deep breaths.
FURGUS: I've been carrying him all over the hotel,
but I can't find a place that's just right for him.
He keeps changing his mind!
And I'm so frustrated.
I'm ready to give up.
FUNELLA: But a Furchester never gives up!
IN UNISON: (SINGING) La la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la
la, la!
A Furchester never gives up, never gives up.
A Furchester never gives up.
We try our very best!
Because we are monsters through and through,
and so we do what monsters do.
We ook, and oof, and oof some more.
We oof even harder than before!
A Furchester never gives up!
Never gives up!
A Furchester never gives up!
We try our furry best!
A Furchester never--
COOKIE MONSTER: Never!
IN UNISON: (SINGING) Well, hardly never!
A Furchester never gives up!
[MUSIC PLAYING]
FURGUS: You're right.
I can't give up now.
But how am I going to find a place that's
just right for Mr. Evergroan?
FUNELLA: Let's put our furry heads together and think!
ELMO: Oh, yeah!
FUNELLA: Oh!
What if you try the garden?
PHOEBE: Or a guest room?
ELMO: Oh, or the dining room!
FURGUS: Well, I've tried all of those places!
FUNELLA: And?
FURGUS: Well, he likes them, just not for very long!
FUNELLA: Oh.
PHOEBE: Fuzzawubba, maybe that's it!
Maybe Mr. Evergroan only likes to stay
in one place for a little while.
FUNELLA: Oh.
FURGUS: But I can't keep moving him around.
He's too heavy!
ELMO: Oh, Elmo has an idea!
Eh?
Eh? [LAUGHS]
IN UNISON: Oh!
[MUSIC PLAYING]
MR. EVERGROAN: Oh, Mr. Fuzz, this is so much better.
Can we go to the sofa now?
FURGUS: Sofa?
OK.
MR. EVERGROAN: Oh, no, no, no!
No, no, no.
The lift.
FURGUS: The lift!
MR. EVERGROAN: Yes.
FURGUS: OK, here we go.
MR. EVERGROAN: No, no, no.
I changed my mind.
Let's go to the dining room.
FURGUS: Dining room!
OK.
HARVEY P. DULL: Come now?
FURGUS: Excuse me, Mr. Dull, coming through.
MR. EVERGROAN: Whee!
PHOEBE: Mr. Evergroan seems happy now!
ELMO: Yeah, Uncle Furgus, too!
FUNELLA: Yes!
PHOEBE: Oh, can I have a turn, Dad?
Please?
ELMO: Elmo, too!
