Cookie Monster: (Shouting) Wow, look at all these books! Me no seen so many books before! 

Librarian: Shhhh! 

Cookie Monster: (Whispering) Oh, yeah, yeah, right. 

(Cookie walks toward the desk, and stumbles over something. You hear a metal container falling over.) 

Cookie Monster: (surprised) Whoop! 

Librarian: (Quietly) Quiet, please. 

Cookie Monster: (Whispering) I did not see de wastebasket. 

(Librarian sort of nods, and goes back to work.) 

Cookie Monster: Uh, Sir ... Sir ... (Librarian looks up) Could you tell me what you doing with all these books? 

Librarian: Well, this is a library. We have all kinds of books for people to read. 

Cookie Monster: Really? Well, me want book about Little Red Riding Hood. 

Librarian: All right. (Gets up to go get it.) 

Cookie Monster: And one box of cookies. (Starts looking around.) 

Librarian: (Stops in his tracks, and looks at Cookie.) (Pleasantly) Maybe you didn't understand. You see, this is a library. We only have books; we have no cookies. 

Cookie Monster: Oh, yeah, yeah, right. Well, me want book about nursery rhymes. 

Librarian: All right. (starts off to get it.) 

Cookie Monster: And one box of cookies. 

Librarian: (Sharper than before, yet still pleasant.) We don't have cookies! We only have books. Just books, no cookies. 

Cookie Monster: Oh, right. Uh, me want picture book. 

Librarian: Picture book. (Starts off.) 

Cookie Monster: And one box of cookies. 

Librarian: (He's infuriated now, and starts breathing heavily, and yelling.) How many times do I have to tell you WE DON'T HAVE COOKIES?! WE ONLY HAVE BOOKS! YOU UNDERSTAND?! JUST BOOKS!! BOOKS!!! 

Cookie Monster: (Calmly) It OK, no need to get excited, me not fussy, just give me box of cookies.

Librarian: THAT'S RIGHT, JUST BOOKS! 

Cookie Monster: Me got it now. OK, OK. (Clears throat)

Cookie Monster: Me ... want ... BOOK ... about cookies. 

Librarian: Fine, that we have, a book about cookies, good! (Starts to get up.) 

Cookie Monster: And a glass of milk. 

(Ending music of two notes plays, Librarian sighs a couple times, and tips over in his chair. You hear the wastebasket falling.) 

Cookie Monster: (Looking over edge of desk) Book about cookies and a glass of juice?
