Well.
HARVEY P. DULL: Oh!
Hey, careful.
ELMO: Boy, sorry, Mr. Harvey P. Dull.
Elmo can't skate.
PHOEBE: You can't skate yet, Elmo?
Well, if you practice, you'll get it.
ELMO: Ah.
HARVEY P. DULL: Well, the lobby is no place for skating.
PHOEBE: Right, Mr. Dull.
Come with me, Elmo.
We'll practice in the skate park.
ELMO: What?
The Furchester has a skate park?
PHOEBE: Yeah, next to the bowling alley.
Come on.
[BELL DINGS]
FURGUS: [GRUNTING]
MR. SHELDON: Oh.
Is our room ready yet?
FUNELLA: Uh, Furgus, how is Mrs. Shelley and Mr. Sheldon's
room coming along?
FURGUS: Oh, I just need to get the bed into the room, dear.
[GRUNTING]
FUNELLA: This may take some time.
I hope you don't mind waiting.
MRS. SHELLEY: Mind?
No, we don't mind.
FUNELLA: Good.
Oh, maybe you'd like to wait in the dining room.
We're having a lettuce special.
MR. SHELDON: Mmm!
FUNELLA: It's right over there.
FURGUS: [GRUNTING]
FUNELLA: And please take your time.
MRS. SHELLEY: Oh, we always do.
Oh, the service here is very slow.
We'll have to wait a long time for our room to be ready.
MR. SHELDON: Yes.
It's slower than slow.
MRS. SHELLEY: Slow.
MR. SHELDON: Slow.
MRS. SHELLEY: Slow.
FUNELLA: Slow?
Furgus, Furgus!
FURGUS: What's the matter, dear?
FUNELLA: Our tortoise guests said
our service is slow, slow, slow!
FURGUS: Slow, slow, slow?
FUNELLA: Yes, just because they have
to wait a long time for their room to be ready.
FURGUS: Well, maybe our service is slow, slow, slow.
FUNELLA: But we can't have slow service.
FURGUS: No.
FUNELLA: Our guests won't like it.
They won't be happy.
This is a huge problem!
Oh, this is a catastrophe!
[BELL DINGS]
[MUSIC PLAYING]
ALL: [SINGING] It's more than just a slip-up or a mess-up
or a mishap.
A Furchester catastrophe.
We need to fix it fast-rophe.
Put it in the past-rophe.
This simply cannot last-trophe.
A Furchester catastrophe.
Our problem is so vast-rophe.
We're really flabbergast-rophe.
Let's ding the bell full blast-rophe!
Catastrophe, catatstrophe, what a disast-rophe.
Catastrophe, catastrophe, let's fix it fast-rophe.
Catastrophe, catastrophe, let's put it in the past-rophe.
It's a catastro-- what a disaster.
It's a catastrophe!
[HORN BLOWS]
FUNELLA: This is a really big problem.
We need to be faster.
We want to keep our guests happy.
FURGUS: Well, but how do we do our jobs faster?
FUNELLA: Let's put our furry heads together and think fast.
FUNELLA: [GRUNTING]
[GIGGLES]
ELMO: Look, Elmo's skating fast!
PHOEBE: Well done, Elmo!
You are fast!
[GASPS]
FUNELLA: That's it!
We can wear skates.
Skates will make us faster.
FURGUS: Mmm.
COOKIE MONSTER: Oh!
Whoa, skates!
This great idea.
Now me go faster, which leaves more time for eating cookies.
Whoa.
There you go.
Whoa.
You salad and me off.
Whoa.
There we go.
Me hope you enjoyed it and terrific.
Bye-bye.
MR. SHELDON: Hey!
What happened to our lettuce?
FUNELLA: Oh, finished already?
Well, that's what I call fast service.
Fast, fast, fast.
And who knows?
Your room could be ready soon.
Oh!
Maybe you'd like to wait on our special log in the lobby.
Our tortoise guests always seem to enjoy it.
MRS. SHELLEY: Well, that sounds lovely.
Oh, I enjoy a nice log.
MR. SHELDON: Yeah.
She moves very fast.
Let's go, Shelley.
MRS. SHELLEY: Yeah.
[BELL DINGS]
DOG: Hello?
Hello?
FUNELLA: Be right with you!
[BELL DINGS]
DOG: Excuse--
PHOEBE: I can show you to your room.
This way, follow me.
DOG: You're going too fast!
[BELL DINGS]
FUNELLA: Oh!
Whoa!
Oh.
PHOEBE: Oh, Mum, I have another problem.
I'm skating so fast the guests can't keep up with me.
FUNELLA: So now the guests are slowing us down.
Oh, why don't we give a pair of skates to each of our guests?
PHOEBE: Then, they'll be able to keep up!
FUNELLA: And we won't have a problem.
PHOEBE: Oh, Fuzzawubba, Mom.
That's a monster idea!
FUNELLA: Oh!
HARVEY P. DULL: Whoa!
FUNELLA: Oh!
Whoo!
Whoa!
Is the tortoise's room ready yet, Furgus dear?
FURGUS: Every time I push the bed, I slip on these skates.
[GRUNTING]
FUNELLA: Oh, Furgus!
FURGUS: Hang on, I think I've got it now.
[GRUNTING]
FUNELLA: Furgus, are you all right?
FURGUS: Fine, fine.
I just wish that this bed was on skates.
FUNELLA: Furgus, you are a genius.
FURGUS: I am?
FUNELLA: Oh, yes.
What furry thinking!
We'll put the bed on skates!
But why stop there?
Let's put everything on skates.
Then, we'll have the fastest service of any half-star hotel.
Our guests will be so happy!
MR. SHELDON: Oh, there it is.
MRS. SHELLEY: Oh.
[LAUGHS]
FURGUS: This really works.
HARVEY P. DULL: But I don't want my chair on skates.
MR. SHELDON: Oh.
MRS. SHELLEY: Oh, what a comfy log.
MR. SHELDON: Yes.
Eh?
Oh.
Oh, we have a problem.
Could anybody please stop this log?
[GONG]
MONSTER 1: Ding
MONSTER 2: Dong.
MONSTERS: [RABBLE]
[CRASH]
FUNELLA: Did you enjoy our log, Mrs. Shelley, Mr. Sheldon?
MRS. SHELLEY: Enough is enough.
We're checking out of the hotel.
FUNELLA: Checking out?
But you can't leave now.
Your room is ready, right, Furgus?
FURGUS: Ha, it certainly is.
I just rolled the bed all the way there.
MRS. SHELLEY: But we can't stay here.
MR. SHELDON: The service is too fast.
MRS. SHELLEY: Fast.
MR. SHELDON: Fast.
FUNELLA: Too fast?
MRS. SHELLEY: Our lunch was too fast.
The other guests were moving too fast.
MR. SHELDON: And even our log was too fast.
FUNELLA: But you said the service here was slow.
FUR GUS: Slow.
FUNELLA: Slow.
You had to wait so long for your room to be ready.
MR. SHELDON: And that is how we like it.
MRS. SHELLEY: We're tortoises.
MR. SHELDON: Mmm.
We like things slow.
MRS. SHELLEY: Slow.
MR. SHELDON: Slow.
FURGUS: But this is a problem.
If our service is too fast now, how
are we going to make it slow?
PHOEBE: Mum, can we take off our skates?
They're making us go too fast.
FUNELLA: A brilliant idea.
We'll take off our skates.
FURGUS: And the guest's skates.
FUNELLA: We'll take the skates off everything!
[LAUGHS]
FURGUS: Oh.
MR. SHELDON: Now, this is more like it.
MRS. SHELLEY: Slow.
MR. SHELDON: Slow.
MRS. SHELLEY: Slow.
FUNELLA: Yes.
I'm so happy there's no problem with our going slow after all.
If only we'd asked you to begin with.
FURGUS: And we solved our too fast problem, too.
[GIGGLES]
ELMO: Look, everybody.
Elmo can skate!
HARVEY P. DULL: Oh, no.
ELMO: Oh, don't worry, Mr. Dull.
Elmo's been practicing and practicing.
HARVEY P. DULL: Ah!
ELMO: And he can stop, too.
FUNELLA: Excellent skating, Elmo!
ELMO: Thank you!
Now, who wants to come with Elmo to the skate park?
FUNELLA: Oh, yes!
FURGUS: Let's go.
Come on.
HARVEY P. DULL: No, thank you.
I've had enough of skating for one day.
I'm just going to sit here and read my book.
Wait, you forgot to take the skates off my chair!
Won't somebody stop my chair?
[BELL DINGS]
[MUSIC PLAYING]
FUNELLA: [SINGING] You really can't be going.
Oh, say it isn't true.
FUNELLA AND FURGUS: [SINGING] The Furchester will never
be as furry without you.
ALL: [SINGING] So don't check out.
ELMO AND PHOEBE: [SINGING] Don't check out.
FUNELLA AND FURGUS: [SINGING] Please, please, please, please
don't go.
ELMO AND PHOEBE [SINGING] Don't check out.
COOKIE MONSTER: [SINGING] Don't check out!
ALL: [SINGING] No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Please, please don't check out!
MONSTERS: [RABBLE]
ALL: [SINGING] Farewell from the Furchester Hotel!
