Quotes 

  • 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!
