ZACK: Hi, I'm Zack.
And I'm here to tell you all about the word of the day.
Today's word is patience.
ELMO: Mr. Zack, Mr. Zack, Elmo's ready to play.
Come on, come on, let's play.
Come on, boy.
Let's play, let's play.
Let's play.
ZACK: OK, OK, OK.
We're going to play.
ELMO: Come on.
ZACK: We're going to play, but not right this second.
First, I have to tell everyone about the word of the day.
ELMO: But Elmo wants to play now, Mr. Zack.
Come on, come on, come on.
Come on, boy.
ZACK: I know, I know, I know that you want to play.
ELMO: Yeah, Elmo does.
ZACK: All right.
But you have to wait.
You have to wait in a calm way.
You have to show patience.
Hold on a second.
Elmo, today's word is patience.
ELMO: So?
ZACK: OK, so you need to have patience to wait for me to
finish before we can play.
ELMO: Oh, so Elmo can show everybody patience.
ZACK: Yeah, right.
ELMO: Come on, Mr. Zack.
Let's do it.
Let's show everyone patience.
ZACK: OK, all right.
Well here we go.
The word patience means to wait in a calm way.
ELMO: Yes.
ZACK: Now, Elmo really wants to play basketball.
ELMO: Yes, Elmo does.
ZACK: But look at Elmo.
He's waiting in a calm way.
So he's showing--
ELMO: Patience.
ZACK: That's it, man.
There you go.
All that patience paid off.
So now we can go play.
ELMO: Oh boy, oh boy.
Elmo's so excited, Mr. Zack.
ZACK: So am I, man.
Let's go do this thing.
BASKETBALL: Wait a second.
Would you guys mind waiting up for me a few minutes?
I've got to go get some air.
ELMO: What?
BASKETBALL: Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce.
ZACK: Hey, hey, where are you going?
Come back, man.
We really wanted to play.
ELMO: Remember, Mr. Zack.
Remember the word of the day.
BOTH: Patience.
