# Welcome to The Furchester Hotel. #

You caught it, Elmo. ELMO AND PHOEBE LAUGH

Boy, Elmo loves playing with Mr Digby's toys.

-Oh, yeah, this is fun.

-Uh-huh.

-but you know what's more fun?

My favourite squeaky bone.

It's the best toy in the whole world.

-Wow!

-Fact!

-Can we play with it?

-Yeah, sure. It's in my room.

-To the Woof Room!

-ELMO GIGGLES

TOYS SQUEAK

No, no, no.

No. No. No.

Hmm, it's not here.

-Oh, oh, oh! What about this one?

-No, my squeaky bone is blue.

Oh, blue, OK. Oh, what about this one?

-This one's blue.

-TOY SQUEAKS

And it squeaks.

Oh, but it smells like peanut butter.

My squeaky bone smells like cheddar cheese.

DIGBY SIGHS

None of these are my favourite squeaky bone,

which must mean...

HE HOWLS

I've lost it. I've lost my favourite bone.

-HE HOWLS

-No, no, no, no.

-Don't howl, Mr Digby.

-Phoebe and Elmo will help you find it.

Right, well, maybe Mum's seen it. Let's go and ask her.

Yeah, come on.

-We'll sort that out straightaway, my dear.

-Thanks.

-Oh, hello, Mr Dull. How are you?

-My chair's broken.

It makes a very annoying squeak noise every time I sit down.

A squeak, you say, Mr Dell? It probably needs new legs.

-Don't worry, I'll have it fixed in a jiffy.

-Auntie Funella!

-Auntie Funella!

-Yes?

Oh, mum, Digby's lost his favourite squeaky bone. Have you seen it?

-Which one is it?

-Well, the best one. HE HOWLS

Could you describe it just a little more?

How can you describe the most beautiful squeaky bone in the world?

I'll give it a go.

DIGBY GROWLS

-# Oh, my best bone is blue

-It's blue

-# It's so fun to chase and chew

-To chew

# When you squeeze it it's very squeaky

# Squeaky squeaky

-# When it hides, it's really sneaky

-So sneaky

# Oh, it smells like cheddar cheese

# Cheddar cheese

-# So won't you, won't you please

-Yes, please

# Help me find my favourite bone

# Yes, I chase it when it's thrown

# You know I'm a special boy

# So help me find my toy

# Wow-wow-wow

-# Wow-wow-wow

-DIGBY HOWLS

-Yeah!

-DIGBY HOWLS

Oh, don't worry, Digby. We'll help you solve your problem.

-We'll find your blue and squeaky bone.

-That smells like cheese.

Yes, let's put our furry heads together and think.

ALL TOGETHER: Think!

Oh, some of our dog guests

like to bury their bones in the hotel garden.

I love to bury my bones, too. HE BARKS

Well, maybe Mr Digby buried his favourite squeaky bone

in the garden.

-Yeah, well, let's look there.

-And I'll look behind the desk.

Me going to go look for a bone in cookie jar.

-There, all fixed, Mr Dull.

-Oh, thank you, Furgus.

You know, I do need a sit down.

SQUEAK

SQUEAKS

It's not fixed, Furgus. It still squeaks.

Oh, it must need new springs. Righto.

SQUEAKS

No, that's not it.

-It's not this one either.

-Oh boy, are these all Digby's toys?

Oh, yeah, they're all mine. Er, this one's mine.

That one's mine, but none of them are my favourite toy.

DIGBY HOWLS

Well, let's go and see if Mum's found it.

Oh, I'm sorry, Digby. I haven't found your squeaky bone yet.

-Any luck?

-No, Auntie Funella.

-Don't worry.

I know someone who can help us find it.

He's a world-famous sniffologist.

-DIGBY, ELMO AND PHOEBE:

-Sniffologist?

-WHISTLE

-Woof, woof, woof.

You called? The name's Sniff-a-lot. Sir Sniff-a-lot. Woof.

Hello, Sir Sniff-a-lot. This is Digby. He's lost his favourite bone.

DIGBY HOWLS

Say no more. I can sniff out anything in the world.

Woof woof woof.

-See?

-SQUEAK

-You are welcome.

-Hold on, hold on.

This is one of my toys, but it's not my favourite blue bone.

HE HOWLS

Blue? Why didn't you say so? Woof woof woof.

There you are.

-ELMO LAUGHS

-Your blue bone.

Wait a minute. This is blue, but it doesn't smell like cheese.

Cheese, you say? Woof woof woof.

Here, the cheesiest thing I could find.

-PHOEBE:

-That doesn't just smell like cheese.

That is a cheese.

Here, I'm no ordinary cheese.

I've aged to perfection, I'll have you know. Good day to you, sir.

Well, have I saved the day or have I saved the day?

-ALL TOGETHER:

-No!

-I'll take that as a yes. Woof!

Oh, you're never going to find my favourite toy. I give up.

-Oh no, Digby! We are Furchesters.

-And a Furchester never gives up.

BELL RINGS

# La-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la!

# A Furchester never gives up Never gives up, never gives up

# A Furchester never gives up We try our very best

# Cos we are monsters through and through

-# We ugh

-Ugh!

# We oof even harder than before

# A Furchester never gives up Never gives up, never gives up

# A Furchester never gives up We try our very best

-# And a Furchester never

-Never

-Well, hardly ever

# A Furchester never gives up. #

You're right.

If I give up, I'll never get to squeeze my beautiful toy and

hear its lovely squeak again.

Oh, yes, that's right. Your bone squeaks when you squeeze it.

Fuzzawubba! That gives me a monster idea.

If we squeeze things in the hotel, we might find your bone.

-ELMO LAUGHS

-Great idea, Phoebe.

-Marvellous!

And we must be very quiet so we can hear any squeaks.

Shh!

GONG RINGS

Tea-time!

-Starting now.

-Right.

-Right.

-OK.

-OK.

No. No.

No.

DIGBY GROWLS

-Do you mind? I was taking a nap.

-Sorry, Mrs Mouscovy.

-There, I fixed the chair. As good as new.

-Oh, thank you, Furgus.

I need an urgent, quiet sit down.

SQUEAK

Wait a minute, Elmo heard a squeak.

Well, that's what I've been saying.

My chair is making a terrible squeak noise.

Digby, do you think you've buried

your squeaky toy in Mr Dull's chair?

-It's the perfect place.

-Oh, well, take a look.

My bone! My favourite bone!

It's blue, it squeaks, and it smells like cheddar cheese.

Thank you, everybody, for helping me find my favourite bone.

Come on, Digby. Let's go and play. Come on!

-Guess what me found in the cookie jar.

-What?

-A cookie!
