Big Bird • Oscar the Grouch
- Prince Sahu: I'm Prince Sahure of Egypt, son of the God Userkaf, king of kings, lord of the two lands, conqueror of the East and West, and fabulous fisherman.
- Big Bird: Uh, you don't have a nickname, do you?
- Big Bird: Eh... who's Osiris?
- Prince Sahu: Him.
- [points at a fresco as ominous music plays]
- Prince Sahu: The lord of the underworld.
- Aloysius Snuffleupagus: A gangster?
- Big Bird: [as Prince Sahu permanently departs to the nighttime sky to be with his parents] Wait! Will we ever see you again?
- Prince Sahu: At night when the stars are bright, look to the north. I'll twinkle for you.
- David: I've got a real bad feeling that this museum is locked, and we are locked in the museum for the night.
- Telly Monster: [greatly worried] David, what are we going to do now?
- Oscar the Grouch: Well, I've got a suggestion. Let's panic!
- Big Bird: Hi. Do you guard this museum?
- Museum Security Guard: Yeah.
- Big Bird: Well, good work! We were here all night, and nobody bothered us. Ta-ta.
- [exits]
- Museum Security Guard: No you weren't. No.
- Big Bird: [off screen] We were too.
- Big Bird: Oh, the cat stopped. But where is the temple of Dender?
- Aloysius Snuffleupagus: I wouldn't know, Bird. The only temple I've ever seen is Shirley Temple.
- [Everyone is looking for Big Bird]
- Oscar the Grouch: Big Bird! Oh, I've searched everywhere, and there's no sign of that oversized finch! And if I see another masterpiece, I'll go mad! Pretty, gold frames, and there's no mud on them. Yuck!
- [glances at another room]
- Oscar the Grouch: I wonder what's in there.
- [notices a sign]
- Oscar the Grouch: Oh. Says uh..."These statues are from ancient Greece and Rome. Some are as much as 2,600 years old." Well, that's something.
- [continues reading]
- Oscar the Grouch: "Because some of them fell off buildings, or were buried during earthquakes..." Heh, heh! "... or worn out by the sea, they are broken." Broken?
- [enters the room]
- Oscar the Grouch: Oh man! They ''are'' broken! Oh, really wrecked! Heh heh heh heh! Heaven! Why it's trash. The most beautiful trash I've ever seen!
