Where's Mr. Hooper so I can give him his picture?

Big Bird, don't you remember? We told you, Mr. Hooper died. He's dead. Remember?
Big Bird:
Oh yeah. I remember. Well, I'll give it to him when he comes back.
Susan:
Big Bird, Mr. Hooper's not coming back.

But, he's gotta come back. Who's gonna take care of the store?! And who's gonna make my birdseed milkshakes and tell me stories?!

Big Bird:
But it won't be the same.

And we still have our memories of him.

But everything was just fine! Why did it have to be like this?!
