The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland - Planning Against Elmo in Grouchland
Pesties:
Careful. Yeah, don't spill the boss drink. Okay, keep it balanced now.
Pestie:
Here's your drink, boss.
Huxley:
Thank You. So, did you think of a plan to stop that Elmo pest yet?
Bug:
Not yet, boss. I was too busy listening to you sing. You got a lovely singing voice.
Huxley: [[West Side Story]
Why, thank you. I always fancied myself a singer. I almost performed in the bus and truck tour of ]. They said I wasn't right for Maria. What do they know? I feel pretty.
Bug:
Oh, very pretty.
Pestie:
You should take a weedwacker to those eyebrows. What did I say?
Huxley:
Anyway, I digress. Right now, I need you to take care of my archenemy Elmo.
Pesties:
Elmo... Elmo.
Huxley:
Maybe... you should arrange a little introduction for him... to the Queen of Trash.
Bug:
Huh? Queen of Trash? But-But nobody ever escapes her dump.
Bert:
Stop the movie, stop the movie. Ernie, Ernie, Ernie.
Ernie:
What's the matter now, Bert?
Bert:
Oh, this is not good. Huxley is being mean to Elmo. It's just not fair. Why would anybody be so mean to our little Elmo?
Ernie:
Well, gee, Bert, maybe Huxley just hasn't learned how to share yet.
Bert:
Well... Well, Ernie, do you think he ever will?
Ernie:
Maybe, Bert. I sure hope that he does. Don't you? Now come on, Bert, let's go find what happens to Elmo.
Bert:
Okay. Good, great.
Bert:
Uh, Ernie? Problem.
Ernie:
This way, Bert.

The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland - The Nature of Greed and Desire
Huxley:
The issue at hand is the tissue at hand. And I wish you would hand or I'll squish you at hand. The tissue at hand to the man who can prove She Could been. The most deserving he. That's me, me. Me, me. Thank you, Bug. Oh, I love that! Bug, give me that lollipop.
Bug:
Yum. Tasty.
Huxley:
That's mine! Look at all I got. This lamp, this yacht. But what makes having fun is knowing you have none. Whoa! Come on, Bug! Some may call it greed. It's not, it's need. A need I love to feed. The need to have a lot. I give my all to all I seize, see? And all I see I give to me.
Pestie:
Take it, boss!
Huxley:
I see it, take it, then I make it mine. My little stamper adds a pinch of perfection. On every middle is my little sign.
Bug:
Yeah!
Huxley:
I aim to make it mine.
Pesties:
He sees it, takes it, Then he makes it mine.
Huxley:
I truly care.
Pesties:
His little stamper adds a pinch of perfection.
Huxley:
I give and give!
Pesties:
On every middle is his little sign. He aches, he shakes. To make it mine.
Huxley:
I ache, I quake. To make it mine. Oh, my favorite teddy bear! Ah, my yo-yo! I love my yo-yo! Something old, something new. Something borrowed, something blue. Things that once belonged to you. Like this plastic telephone. I love this highway traffic cone. This wedding cake for Jill & Jake. This rake This giant rubbersnake. This Chippendale. Don't let it break. Oops!
Bug:
It's true. Love is a many "splintered" thing.
Pesties:
He sees it, takes it, makes it mine.
Bug:
You better believe it!
Pesties:
What an honor to be in his collection
Bug:
It is such an honor.
Pesties:
Like an offer that you can't decline
Bug:
An offer you can't refuse!
Huxley:
I ache, I quake.
Pesties:
To make it mine.
Huxley:
You say you love your old Atari. I love it more.
Pesties:
He loves it more.
Huxley:
You say you love your new Ferrari. Mine! I love it more.
Pesties:
He loves it more.
Huxley:
Look at me. I'm on safari. Things I want my only quarry. I love what is yours. Far more than you.
Pesties:
Doodly-doodly-doodly-do.
Huxley:
And if love means never having to say you're sorry. Well, I never do.
Pestie:
The lights! Somebody turn off the lights!
Huxley:
I see it, take it, then I make it mine. I stamp a valentine a sign of affection. Four little letters make a word so fine. I ache to make it. I see it, take it Then I make it mine. I give a stamp that says good-bye to neglection. I got an offer that you can't decline. When umbrellas disappear They're not lost, they're all here With the keys you cannot find. Pens and mittens left behind Got em locked up in a box with a million missing socks. An army guy, a glove, here's a doll. Oh, how I love, whoa! To make it mine!

Pestie:
Baloney sandwich again?
Pestie:
Well, yeah.
Huxley:
Get back to work! Why is that little red furball so determined to get this blanket?
Bug:
Maybe because it's so devastatingly cuddly.
Huxley:
What do you think you're doing?
Bug:
Just hugging Elmo's blanket.
Huxley:
Whose blanket?
Bug:
I mean, your blanket.
Huxley:
That's right. My blanket. And I'm the only one who can hold it.

The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland - Celebrating Grouch Culture with Humor
Elmo:
Wow. Grouchland sounds like fun.
All Grouches:
What?
Grouch Mayor:
Fun? You obviously don't appreciate Grouch culture. Let's send him some greeting cards, airmail.
All Grouches:
Have a rotten birthday! Happy grouchness! Yeah! Get sick soon! Happy sour 16th!
Elmo:
Elmo doesn't know how to read yet.
Grouch Mayor:
Aww, isn't that just-
Female Grouch:
Oh, no, it's Huxley again! He'll take anything!
Elmo:
What’s Going On?
Huxley:
I'll take that.
Elmo:
Hey, hey!
Grey Grouch:
You're taking his greeting card.
Huxley:
Mmm.. I'll take that.
Brown Grouch:
Hey!
Grizzy:
Soggy Sandy wets her pants. That's why they call her Soggy. Watch her do her Soggy dance. Then after you'll get wet.
Huxley:
Hey little girl, Is that your new Soggy pants Sandy doll?
Grizzy:
Yeah?
Huxley:
You're wrong. Guess who's changing its diapers now?
Grizzy:
Let go of her! No!
Elmo:
He can't do that. That's not nice.
Grizzy:
Hey, put me down, you rotten Huxley!
Elmo:
Oh!
Grey Grouch 2:
Wow!
Elmo:
Stop!
Male Grouch 2:
Oh, I bet that hurt. Oh, yeah.
Elmo:
Are you okay?
Huxley:
Did someone say "stop"? Alright. Who said that? Which one of you dares to question my evil ways?
All Grouches:
He did. He did.
Elmo:
Elmo said it.
Bug:
Hey, boss, he's the one. I heard him. It's the cute little red guy. He's the one questioning your evil ways.
Huxley:
I know that, Bug.
Elmo:
It's not nice to take things that don't belong to you.
Huxley:
He also says it is not nice to take things that do not belong to me! Isn't that just precious?
Bug:
Yeah.
Huxley:
Let me tell you something. It all belongs to me. If I touch it, I own it. Bug! You see this tennis racket? Ping! I own it. This hammer? Ping! I own it. This velvet painting of Elvis. I didn't really want it. But... ping! I own it. And this.
Elmo:
Oh, Elmo's blanket!
Huxley:
You're wrong. I didn't borrow this blanket. I didn't rent this blanket. Heck, I didn't even take out a 36-month lease on this blanket. No. Ping! I own it!
Bug:
I think it's made of all-natural fibers. Maybe 100% cotton. Very lovely.
Huxley: [turns to Bug]
Bug, you really know how to ruin a villainous moment don't you? Now, get into the cartoonishly evil vehicle and drive!
Bug:
Sir! Yes, sir!
Elmo:
No, Wait, Blanket, Blanket!
Huxley:
You Know, I would really love to stay and chat. Because I have to get home to take a nap with my brand new woofy. Say, Bye-bye, Woofy. Bye Bye.
Elmo:
It's a Blanket!
Huxley:
Woofy!
Elmo:
Blanket!
Huxley:
Woofy!
Elmo:
Blanket!
Huxley:
Woofy!
Elmo:
Blanket!
Huxley: [Laughs Evilly]
Mine!
Elmo:
Blanket! Wait! Stop!
Bert: [the film pauses]
Stop the movie, stop the movie, stop the movie.
Ernie:
What's the matter, Bert?
Bert:
Ernie, Ernie. Did you see what Huxley did? He took Elmo's blanket.
Bert:
Oh, I can't look.
Ernie: [the film resumes]
Oh, but don't worry, Bert, it'll be okay. Right, everybody? Because we know Elmo won't give up until he give his blanket back. Roll film! Let's watch Bert.
Bert:
Oh, okay, Ernie, but I can't see anything.
Ernie:
Bert. You still have your hands over your eyes, Bert.
Bert:
Oh. I knew that.
Ernie:
Sure, you did, Bert. Come on.

Wonder - Celebrating Quiet Strength and Kindness
Mr. Tushman:
The final award this morning is the Henry Ward Beecher Medal to honor students who have been notable or exemplary. Usually, it's a "good works," a service award. But I came upon a passage that he wrote, which made me realize that good works come in many forms. "Greatness," he wrote, "lies not in being strong, but in the right using of strength. He or she is the greatest whose strength carries up the most hearts by the attraction of his own." Without further ado, this year, I am very proud to award the Henry Ward Beecher Medal to the student whose quiet strength has carried up the most hearts.

Wonder - Understanding Conflict and Supporting Growth
Mr. Tushman:
Dear Mr. Will, One thing I've learned in 20 years in education is that there are two sides to every story, so I think I can imagine what started the fight. While nothing justifies striking another student, I know good friends are worth defending. So, after your two-day suspension, your scholarship will be waiting for you. So, just keep up the good work, and keep being the fine boy we all know you to be. Sincerely, Mr. Tushman.

See? He's playing better already.
