MURRAY: Hi, I'm Murray from Sesame Street.
And I'm looking for the word on the street.
What's the word on the street?
GIRL: Imagination.
MURRAY: What does the word imagination mean?
MAN: Imagination is when you make-believe
that something can be anything.
WOMAN: It means to use your mind to create a wonderful thing,
like a fantasy world.
GIRL: I use my imagination to pretend I'm in a rainforest,
even though I'm just in my backyard.
MURRAY: Do you use your imagination?
BOY: I play games with my friends.
MURRAY: Keep listening for the word imagination today
on Sesame Street.
BOY: Imagination.
MURRAY: That's the word on the street.
FOREST WHITAKER: Hi, I'm Forest.
THE COUNT: And I am Count von Count.
FOREST WHITAKER: And we're here to tell you
what the word imagination means.
Right Count?
THE COUNT: That is correct, Forest.
Imagination!
FOREST WHITAKER: Now, imagination
is when you make believe something
is anything you want it to be.
And today, I am going to use my imagination with this stick.
THE COUNT: And I shall count how many times
Forest uses his imagination.
FOREST WHITAKER: OK, first I'm going to make
believe that this stick is a magic wand.
Whah!
Ala peanut-butter sandwiches!
Wop!
THE COUNT: That is one, one time that Forest
used his imagination.
FOREST WHITAKER: Next, I'm going to imagine
that it's a rocket ship.
Blast off!
Pshhhew!
Past the moon, past the stars.
Shh!
THE COUNT: That is two, two wonderful times
that Forest used his imagination.
FOREST WHITAKER: Now, I'm going to pretend
that it's a conductor's baton.
THE COUNT: Oh!
[MUSIC PLAYING]
THE COUNT: That is three times he used his imagination.
FOREST WHITAKER: Now, it's a baseball bat.
Pop!
[CHEERING]
THE COUNT: Four times!
FOREST WHITAKER: Now, it's a pencil.
Scritch-scratch.
THE COUNT: Five times.
FOREST WHITAKER: Now, it's a drumstick.
[DRUMMING]
THE COUNT: That is six times that he used his imagination!
You are very, very good at using your imagination, Forest.
FOREST WHITAKER: Now, it's your turn Count.
You make believe that this stick is something else.
THE COUNT: OK, I will give it a try.
Uh, I imagine that this stick is the number one.
Do you know why?
FOREST WHITAKER: Why?
THE COUNT: Because you have one, wonderful imagination.
Ah-ah-ah!
[THUNDER]
FOREST WHITAKER: [LAUGHTER]
[MUSIC PLAYING]
GIRL: Yesterday, we found a box.
A box can be anything when to use your imagination.
I had a great idea for our little box.
BOY: And I knew, we'd need a camera.
A box can be anything.
GIRL: But that day, we made a special place to play.
BOY: It is fun to use your imagination.
GIRL: I imagined a beach.
And I was in a sandcastle.
BOY: I imagined a forest.
And I was in a log cabin.
GIRL: Come on, it's fun to imagine.
Where will your to imagination take you?
THE COUNT: [SINGING] What can you
do when there's nothing to count,
and the world is a dark empty place?
What can you count when the world is so dark
that you can't count the nose one your face?
Ah, the thing you can do is imagine.
And then everything falls into place!
You imagine one jumpy elephant dancing overhead.
Oh, two chubby elephants up above your bed.
Here comes elephant number three,
see how chubby he looks to me!
Then four!
Then five!
Then you and I've imagined five chubby elephants!
What a nice amount!
And that's what to do when there's nothing to count .
One day I may even try to imagine counting sheep.
[YAWN] As I close my eyes and count myself to sleep.
[SNORING] One snore, [SNORE] two snores, [SNORE] three snores.
MURRAY: What does the word imagination mean?
WOMAN: It's making believe that something
is anything you want it to be.
WOMAN 2: It means to create something in you mind.
It could be silly or fun or crazy.
GIRL: A bird with butterfly wings and a rainbow beak!
GIRL 2: Sometimes, I imagine myself like on a unicorn.
MURRAY: I imagine I'm a dinosaur sometimes.
And I've got little T. rex arms.
Roar!
I'm a T. rex!
Let's imagine we're superheroes.
Let's fly!
Phish!
Let's imagine we're on the beach right now.
CRYSTAL: Yeah, OK.
OK.
MURRAY: What are you imagining Crystal?
CRYSTAL: Definitely blue.
MURRAY: And I hear waves.
CRYSTAL: And children.
MURRAY: And there's a seagull.
CRYSTAL: Yeah.
MURRAY: Squawk!
Squawk!
CRYSTAL: [LAUGHTER]
LILY: Pretend there's lava on the ground.
MURRAY:[SCREAMING] Ah!
My feet!
Lily, ow!

MURRAY: That's the word on the street.
Oh, it burns.
Oh- Ahhhhhhhh!
