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 1: "Plan."
MURRAY: What do you think the word "plan" means?
BOY 1: A list of things to do.
GIRL 2: A plan is like steps to do something.
MURRAY: What kind of things would you plan for?
GIRL 3: Well, you could plan a party.
MAN: You can plan things to do with your friends.
FIREMAN: Stop, drop, and roll.
That's a plan.
MURRAY: Keep listening for the word "plan"
today on Sesame Street.
GIRL 4: Plan.
MURRAY: That's the word on the street.
RUTINA: So what do you think about the plan, guys?
ELMO: Elmo thinks it's a good plan.
ABBY: Yeah.
Me too.
It's a very good plan.
RUTINA: Oh.
Hi.
I'm Rutina.
ABBY: And I'm Abby.
ELMO: Oh, and Elmo's Elmo.
RUTINA: And right now, we have a plan
to tell you all about the word "plan."
ELMO: Yes.
Show them the plan, Miss Rutina.
RUTINA: Here it is.
Here's the plan.
ABBY: OK.
So what does the plan say that we should do first?
RUTINA: Let's see.
The first part of the plan is to introduce ourselves.
ELMO: Oh, well, Elmo and Abby and Miss Rutina
already did that part of the plan.
RUTINA: Oh right.
ABBY: OK.
So well, uh, what's the next part of the plan?
RUTINA: The second part of the plan
is to tell everyone what the word "plan" means.
ABBY: Oh well, we better stick to the "plan" and tell them.
RUTINA: Right.
The word "plan" means a list of things
to do to help you get something done.
And that's what this is, a list of things
to do to help us tell you what the word "plan" means.
So it's a plan.
ELMO: Oh, wow.
Well, Elmo thinks this plan is working out great.
ABBY: Well, so far it is.
But what is the last part of our plan?
ELMO: Oh yeah.
RUTINA: The last part of our list of things to do
is to say the word "plan" once more.
ABBY: Well then, let's do it.
ELMO: Yeah.
Let's stick to the--
ALL: Plan.
ALL: [SINGING] You're about to sail
the ocean in a pirate ship of yore.
All your friends are going with you.
You're preparing to leave shore.
Now, there's something quite important
or you'll end up in a jam.
What must you do?
Plan.
Get some apples and bananas.
You'll get hungry on the way.
Take a thermos.
You'll get thirsty.
When you're out at sea all day.
Take some band-aids.
PARROT: Pirates get hurt.
PIRATE: [SINGING] And a map to locate land.
What's the good word?
Plan.
Ooh wee ooh wah.
BURT: Ernie, where are you going?
Ernie?
That's the water.
What is he doing?
ERNIE: Oh.
I'm planning for bed, Burt.
BURT: Oh?
ERNIE: You see, I've got this nice fresh cup of water
here in case I should get thirsty
in the middle of the night.
BURT: Aha.
ERNIE: I won't have to wake you up to go get a cup of water.
BURT: Oh, that's very good planning.
Thank you, Ernie.
ERNIE: No problem, Burt.
The last thing I'd want to do is disturb my old buddy Burt.
Let's see here.
BURT: Now what?
ERNIE: Oh.
And I have this nice warm blanket, Burt, in case
I should get cold in the night.
I won't have to wake you up to go get a blanket.
BURT: That's very nice, Ernie.
ERNIE: And, in case I should get too hot in the night, Burt,
I have this nice fan to cool me down.
See?
Click.
[SNICKERING]
BURT: Ernie.
ERNIE: See, it works, Burt.
BURT: Oh.
Oh.
Oh no.
Now what?
ERNIE: And in case, I get lonely for my rubber ducky
in the middle of the night.
I'll already have rubber ducky with me,
so I won't have to disturb you, Burt.
Isn't that right, rubber ducky?
[SQUEAKING]
BURT: OK.
OK.
But, but no more planning, Ernie.
I want to go to sleep.
ERNIE: Oh, just one second, Burt.
Because I'm going to want to have this book in case
I want to read in the middle of the night.
BURT: Read?
In the dark?
ELMO: Well, that's why I have my flashlight, Burt.
BURT: But Ernie--
ERNIE: Because I won't have to turn on the light, Burt.
And you know why that's important, Burt?
Because I don't want to disturb you.
Mhm.
BURT: Oh, Ernie.
ERNIE: Oh dear.
Uh.
Oops.
BURT: Oh, Ernie.
With all the planning you did, you
didn't leave room in the bed for you.
Now, you have to take everything off the bed,
and I'll never get to sleep.
ERNIE: Oh, sure you will, Burt.
BURT: No, I won't.
ERNIE: Don't worry.
You can go to sleep right now, because I don't
have to take everything off my bed.
BURT: No?
Oh.
ERNIE: No.
I'll just get in your bed, Burt.
BURT: What?
ERNIE: Nighty night, Burt.
MURRAY: What's a plan?
LADY 1: It's a list of things to do.
LADY 2: A plan is when you think about something very carefully.
BOY 2: A well-thought out idea.
LADY 3: You maybe write it down.
GIRL 5: A plan is when you think ahead.
MURRAY: So what did you do to plan to travel to New York?
LADY 4: I had to make plane reservations.
MURRAY: Plane reservations, yeah.
LADY 4: I had to pack.
LADY 5: Sometimes, you can write it down.
Sometimes, people even have a book or their phone.
MURRAY: And what do you put in that planner?
LADY 5: You put your things that you
might do today or the next day so
that you can be ready for it.
MURRAY: You can plan it out.
MAN 2: Before you go on a trip, you sit with a map.
You see what the best route is to go there.
GIRL 6: A shopping list is a plan.
LADY 6: Plan.
MURRAY: That's the word on the street.
BILLY: Hi.
I'm Billy.
BOTH: Billy!
BILLY: OK.
As I was saying, I'm here to tell you
all about the word "cheer."
BOTH: Cheer.
BILLY: Sorry.
Where was I?
Oh yeah.
Now, "cheer" means words of encouragement or--
