- 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.
- [Bert and Ernie are looking at the painting of George Washington crossing the Delaware]
- Ernie: You know what Bert, I bet George Washington caught a cold. He should have stayed home.
- Bert: Do you think George Washington would stay in bed and open his Christmas presents?
- Ernie: I don't know Bert.
- Bert: No, sir, not the father of our country. He crossed the Delaware to New
- [points west]
- Bert: Jersey.
- Ernie: Bert.
- Bert: To New
- [points west]
- Bert: Jersey.
- Ernie: If George Washington was going to New Jersey, why didn't he do what everybody does?
- Bert: And what's that, Ernie?
- Ernie: Take the George Washington Bridge, Bert.
- [Cookie Monster sees a painting of fruit]
- Cookie Monster: Me eat picture!
- Bob: No, no, no, Cookie Monster. You can't touch the picture.
- Cookie Monster: No, me don't want to touch, me want to eat.
- Bob: No, you can't, nooooo!
- Cookie Monster: Let me eat frame.
- Bob: The sign, Cookie Monster, look at the sign.
- [sees a sign that forbids eating pictures]
- Cookie Monster: Please don't eat the pictures. Aw, this going to be long night.
- 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.
- Cookie Monster: Oh boy, oh boy! Egyptian Mummy. Hmm. Look like banana with picture on. Huh? It's three thousand years old? Huh! Should be ripe now!
- 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.
- Demon: [confronting Sahu as Big Bird and Snuffleupagus stand beside him] Prince Sahu, every night for the past four thousand years, I asked you the same question. I have asked the question 1,600,041 times, and not once have you given me the correct answer. I can assure you it has been very boring for me, and it's probably useless to ask the question again. But since I have no choice, for the 1,600,042nd time, you have ten seconds. Where does today meet yesterday?
- Prince Sahu: In a museum.
- Demon: [looking incredulous] Did you say, "in a museum"?
- Prince Sahu: Yes.
- Demon: Well... that's a considerable improvement over your previous answers.
- [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!
