Quotes
-
Big Bird : Oh, Snuffy's been spending Christmas Day at Granny's for a whole year. Every night, I hope that Christmas will end and he'll come back but every morning, I wake up and it's still Christmas.
Maria : I know how you feel, Big Bird.
Big Bird : Now I'm beginning to believe I'll never see him again, Never!
[sobbing]
Elmo : What's wrong with Big Bird?
Big Bird : Oh, nothing. I'm just never gonna see my best friend again. That's all.
[sobbing]
Elmo : What's that? What's Luis doing?
Maria : He's closing up the Fix-it-Shop for good.
Elmo : No! You don't want to close the Fix-it-Shop. Elmo didn't want that.
Maria : [sobbing] Well, we can't work on Christmas and since it's Christmas everyday, we can't work at all.
Lightning : But, what will you do?
Maria : That's a very good question.
Luis : Well, that's that. Goodbye, Fix-it-Shop.
Maria : [sobbing] Come up to our place for a cup of birdseed, Big Bird and we'll talk some more.
Elmo : [to Lightning as Luis takes the crying Big Bird and Maria inside] Elmo thought Christmas everyday would make people happy, Lightning. But it's making them sad. The Fix-it-Shop is closed. Big Bird is crying. Nobody is celebrating. And the Count says that Christmas isn't special anymore because it's everyday. Maybe Santa's right.

Luis : You know, I remember it before it was always Christmas. We opened up the shop in the morning, and we wave hi to everybody going by.
Maria : Yeah, they bring us stuff to fix, and we fixed it! We worked!
Elmo : But Maria, Christmas is fun.
Maria : [starting to get angry] I'm sick of having fun, Elmo! I want to fix toasters! I'm going to fix one, right now.
[grabbing a waffle iron]
Luis : It's a waffle iron.
Maria : I know that!
Elmo : Lightning, maybe Christmas everyday doesn't make people as happy as Elmo thought.
Lightning : You said it. I didn't.
Maria : This is a toaster!
[all the broken toasters came falling down as Maria angrily grabbed one of them]
Maria : We'll never catch up.
