You're just in time, 'cause Elmo and his

[SHIMMERY MUSIC]
ELMO: Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
Hello.
Elmo is the elephant.
And Elmo the elephant has a dream to one day dance with a
real princess.
[SHIMMERY MUSIC]
ELMO: Wow!
NATALIE PORTMAN: Today is your lucky day.
Forsooth!
I am a princess who loves to dance with elephants!
ELMO: Oh, boy!
Let's dance!
[MUSIC PLAYING]
NATALIE PORTMAN: Wait.
Wait, wait.
ELMO: What what what what?
NATALIE PORTMAN: Elmo, this is fun and all--
ELMO: Yeah?
NATALIE PORTMAN: But you know what?
ELMO: What?
NATALIE PORTMAN: I don't really
want to play the princess.
ELMO: What?
Well, why?
Is it because Natalie doesn't like to say "forsooth?"
NATALIE PORTMAN: Oh, no, no, no.
That isn't it at all.
ELMO: Oh, good.
NATALIE PORTMAN: It's just that all my life, whenever I
play The Princess and the Elephant, I always have to
play the princess.
ELMO: Well, and you don't like to be a princess?
NATALIE PORTMAN: No, don't get me wrong.
I--
I love being a princess.
It's fun to dress up and wear the crown and all that, but
what I really want to be is--
[SHIMMERY MUSIC]
NATALIE PORTMAN: The elephant!
ELMO: Natalie wants to be an elephant?
NATALIE PORTMAN: Oh, goodness, yes.
I've always wanted to have the big elephant trunk and the big
elephant ears.
But most of all, what I've always wanted to do is--
[TRUMPET].
[BOTH LAUGH]
ELMO: Wow!
Natalie sure makes a great elephant!
NATALIE PORTMAN: You think so, Elmo?
ELMO: Oh, yeah.
NATALIE PORTMAN: Oh, thank you.
ELMO: Oh, thank you.
B-but--
Elmo doesn't know what to do, because Elmo loves to play the
elephant, too.
NATALIE PORTMAN: You do?
ELMO: Yeah. 'Cause Elmo loves the elephant ears-- see? see?
And the trunk.
And Elmo loves to--
[TRUMPET]
NATALIE PORTMAN: Wow!
You make a great elephant too, Elmo.
ELMO: Aw, thanks, Natalie.
NATALIE PORTMAN: Wait!
ELMO: What?
NATALIE PORTMAN: I have an idea.
ELMO: Really?
NATALIE PORTMAN: We--
ELMO: Uh-huh?
NATALIE PORTMAN: Could play--
ELMO: Yeah?
NATALIE PORTMAN: The Princess and the Two Elephants!
ELMO: Ohhhh!
Yes!
No, no, no.
NATALIE PORTMAN: Why not?
ELMO: Well, if Elmo and Natalie are both elephants,
well, who's going to play the part of the princess?
NATALIE PORTMAN: Oh, I know someone who'd be perfect!
ELMO: Really?
NATALIE PORTMAN: [WHISPERS]
