NARRATOR: Penguin Bobsleigh Team.

We just finished polishing your skates.
MISS FLAPPINGHAM: Oh, thank you so much, Miss Furchester.
MISS FURCHESTER: Oh, I do hope you
enjoy the skating rink we put in your room.
MISS FLAPPINGHAM: Oh, marvelous.
Will do.
MISS FURCHESTER: Oh, oh, oh, oh, Mr. Dull?
Here they come.
MR. DULL: Here who comes?
ELMO & PHOEBE: Look out, Mr. Dull.
MR. DULL: Oh, oh.
MR. FUZZ: Oh, well done.
We did it, everyone.
PHOEBE: Oh, dad, the bobsleigh track is great.
MR. DULL: Why are you bobsleighing in the hotel?
PHOEBE: Because this weekend is the Birds on Ice Games.
ELMO: And Uncle Fergus built a track around the hotel
for a real bird bobsleighing team.
And they're coming to the Furchester today.
MISS FURCHESTER: Yes!
Maybe you'd like to join the team, Mr. Dull.
MR. DULL: Do l look like a bird to you?
MR. FUZZ: Well, you might prefer curling.
MR. DULL: Curling?
MR. FUZZ: Oh, come on, let's show you.
ELMO: Curling!
PHOEBE: Wait, are you?
ICE FLIPPER: That's right.
ICE FLIPPERS: We are the Ice Flipperers.
ELMO: Oh, boy, oh, boy, oh boy.
Elmo's so excited to meet a real bobsleigh team.
PHOEBE: Yeah.
ICE FLIPPER: Not to mention the best bobsleigh
team in the world.
ICE FLIPPER: Yeah.
Last one in the bobsleigh's a rotten egg.
Wow, this is the best bobsleigh ever.
ICE FLIPPER: Yeah.
PHOEBE: But that's not a bobsleigh.
ICE FLIPPER: It isn't a bobsleigh?
Hm.
ELMO: That's a chair.
Oh, boy.
You see that right over there?
Now, that's a bobsleigh.
ICE FLIPPER: Really?
PHOEBE: How come you don't know what a bobsleigh is?
I thought you were the best bobsleigh team ever.
ELMO: Yeah.
ICE FLIPPER: Well, I'm sure we are.
We've just never actually been bobsleighing before.
ELMO: Uh, this might be a problem.
ICE FLIPPER: Maybe you two could teach us?
ICE FLIPPER: Yeah.
ELMO: Oh, hey.
Yeah!
Elmo and Phoebe are great at bobsleighing.
PHOEBE: It just takes practice.
Come on, we've got a lot of work to do.
ICE FLIPPER: Oh, come on.
ICE FLIPPER: Oh, yeah.
We are the best bobsleigh team ever.
ICE FLIPPER: Yeah.
So, uh, how do we bobsleigh?
PHOEBE: All you need to do is to get the bobsleigh moving.
ELMO: Yeah.
ICE FLIPPER: Oh, uh, got it.
Giddy-up.
Giddy-up, bobsleigh.
Giddy-up, giddy-up.
Come one.
ELMO: No.
Not like that.
ICE FLIPPER: Oh.
ICE FLIPPER: This isn't working.
We're not moving.
PHOEBE: I know it's frustrating.
You just didn't have the hang of it yet.
If you want to move the bobsleigh,
you have to rock back and forth.
ICE FLIPPER: Ah, got it.
OK.
Back.
ICE FLIPPER: Forth.
ICE FLIPPER: Back.
ICE FLIPPER: Forth.
ELMO: No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Move together.
PHOEBE: Yes.
You need to listen to each other.
Just repeat back and forth.
Back and forth.
ELMO: All right.
Phoebe and Elmo will show you.
PHOEBE: Right.
ELMO: Here we go.
ELMO & PHOEBE: Back and forth.
Back and forth.
ICE FLIPPER: OK.
Ready?
ICE FLIPPERS: Back and forth.
Back and forth.
PHOEBE: You're doing it.
[LAUGHTER AND CHEERING]
ELMO: Phoebe and Elmo showed them how to bobsleigh.
PHOEBE: Oh, yeah.
Come on, let's see how they're doing.
ELMO: OK.
Oh, here they come.
COOKIE MONSTER: Here who come?
ICE FLIPPER: Here we go.
COOKIE MONSTER: Whoa!
ELMO & PHOEBE: Go Ice Flippers!
COOKIE MONSTER: Wow, they fast bobsleighers.
Me pretty fast at eating cookie.
[CHEWING]
[LAUGHTER]
ELMO: Oh, Cookie.
Come on.
COOKIE MONSTER: Record time.
Where'd they go?
MR. DULL: Oh, yes.
Yes.
This looks like a nice quiet place to read.
[LAUGHTER]
ELMO: Look at them go, Mr. Harvey P. Dull.
PHOEBE: Oh, the penguins are amazing.
ELMO: Yeah.
MR. DULL: Oh, really.
[KNOCKING]
MISS FLAPPINGHAM: Come in
ELMO: Oh, the Ice Flippers are coming, Mrs. Flappingham.
PHOEBE: Yeah.
Do you mind if we watch from your room?
MISS FLAPPINGHAM: Not at all.
But be careful, the floor is slippy.
[LAUGHTER]
PHOEBE: Oh, they really are the best.
Nothing's going to stop them now.
ELMO: Nope.
[GONG]
[YELLING]
PHOEBE: Uh-oh.
[YELLING]
ELMO: Oh, oh, no.
Here come the Ice Flippers.
MONSTERS: Oh, no.
PHOEBE: Put on your brakes.
[CRASH]
ELMO: Oh, boy.
PHOEBE: Is everyone OK?
ICE FLIPPER: Yeah, we're fine, but our bobsleigh's broken.
This runner thingy came off.
PHOEBE: Oh, without that the bobsleigh won't slide.
ICE FLIPPER: What?
How can we be the best bobsleigh team
if our bobsleigh won't slide?
ICE FLIPPER: This is a huge problem.
ELMO & PHEOBE: It's a catastrophe.
ICE FLIPPER: You're telling me.
[BELL RINGING]
[SINGING]
It's more than just a slip up or a mess up or a mishap.
A Furchester catastrophe.
We need to fix it fastrophe.
And put it in the pastrophe.
This simply cannot lastrophe.
A Furchester catastrophe.
The problem is so vastrophe.
We're really flabbergastrophed.
Let's ring the bell for blastrophe.
Catastrophe.
What a catastrophe.
Catastrophe.
It's a disastrophe.
Catastrophe.
I want it in the pastrophe.
It's a catastro-- what a disastro-- it's a catastrophe.
PHOEBE: The bobsleigh can't move on the ice without the runner.
ICE FLIPPER: Now what do we do?
PHOEBE: We need to find something
to use in place of the runner so the bobsleigh can
slide on the ice.
ICE FLIPPER: Good thinking.
But what could we use?
ELMO: Yeah?
PHOEBE: Well, let's put our furry heads together and think.
ELMO: Right.
PHOEBE: Yeah.
What slides on the ice apart from the bobsleigh?
ICE FLIPPER: A penguin's tummy?
ICE FLIPPER: Oh, yeah.
We could slide on our tummies down the track.
ICE FLIPPER: Oh, but then we don't be in our bobsleigh.
PHOEBE: What else slides on the ice?
ELMO: Well, Elmo does.
Elmo does when he's walking on the ice.
Like this.
See?
[LAUGHTER]
PHOEBE: Well, yes, but I'm not sure you'll
be able to move a whole bobsleigh full of penguins,
Elmo.
ELMO: Oh, right.
PHOEBE: There has to be something else that
slides on the ice.
MISS FLAPPINGHAM: These skates are simply divine.
PHOEBE: That's a wonder.
Oh, Mrs. Flappingham's given me a monster idea.
The ice skate slides on the ice.
ELMO: Yeah.
ICE FLIPPER: Oh, and it looks just like the runner thingy.
ICE FLIPPER: Oh, let's try it and see if it works.
PHOEBE: Mrs. Flappingham?
MISS FLAPPINGHAM: Hm?
PHOEBE: Do you think we could borrow both of your skates?
MISS FLAPPINGHAM: Of course, my darlings.
ELMO: Oh, thank you.
PHOEBE: Thank you.
ICE FLIPPERS: Let's bobsleigh.
Yeah!
We are the Ice Flippers.
Yeah!
ICE FLIPPER: Giddy-up, bobsleigh.
Let's go.
COOKIE MONSTER: Oh, this thing was amazing.
Here they come.
Whoa!
ELMO: Oh, here they come.
PHOEBE: Here they come.
MR. DULL: Oh, no!
ICE FLIPPER: Yeah.
I know we'd be the best bobsleigh team in the world.
ELMO: Oh, boy.
And Mrs. Flappinghams' ice skates worked.
PHOEBE: They fixed the bobsleigh.
ELMO: Thank you for helping us solve
our problem, Mrs. Flappingham.
MISS FLAPPINGHAM: You're quite welcome, Elmo.
ICE FLIPPER: Um, Mrs. Flappingham?
How'd you like to be on our bobsleigh team?
We've got room for one more.
MISS FLAPPINGHAM: A bobsleigh?
How can I resist that?
How can I resist?
ICE FLIPPER: Come on, let's bobsleigh all day long.
[CHEERING]
MISS FLAPPINGHAM: Budge over.
MR. DULL: Oh, no.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
ALL: (SINGING) You really can't be going.
Oh, say it isn't true.
The Furchester will never be as furry without you.
So don't check out.
Don't check out.
Please, please, please, please don't go.
Don't check out.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Please, please don't check out.
Farewell from the Furchester Hotel.
