Elmo: - Mr. Michael Buble, Mr Michael Buble
-      Elmo!!! Hey, Elmo! I’m just doing a TV show right now.
-      Oh! Elmo didn’t come all the way from Sesame Street to not know that… Can Elmo come in, Mr. Michael Buble?
-      Yes, of course, Elmo can come in! Of course! –Excuse me, everybody- […] This is great!
-      Hi!
-      Oh! A tree! Wooow! Wow! That’s pretty! _ - oH, Thank you Elmo – Very green!
-      I just gotta finish talking to the people, but I wanna say thank you for being so polite
-      Oh, Elmo’s mummy and daddy told Elmo to always say ‘Excuse Elmo’ … and he likes to say ‘Michael Buble’… What a nice ring to it!! ‘Michael Bubleeee!’
-      Thank.. Thank you Elmo. Now, can you wait just one minute until I finish talking to the people?
-      Ok, Mr. Michael Buble…
-      Thank you… As I was saying, Christmas is a time when we look back in… [-Mr. Michael Buble]
-      (losing patience) Yes, Elmo.
-      Elmo can’t wait.
-      Ok, -excuse me, ladies and gentlemen [sorry]
-      I’m sorry, Elmo. Listen. Why don’t we have a nice Christmas cookie?
-      Cookie??... Cookies are [sometimes] food, Mr. Buble?
-      Kind of like a conversation with my wife… Ok, well, what would you like?
-      Elmo’d like wassabi… That’s why Elmo doesn’t have any eyelids…
-      Mr. Michael Buble, would you help Elmo write a letter to Santa?
-      oop? Write now?
-      Well, Elmo isn’t getting any younger and neither is this bit!
-      Ok, Elmo. So, what you wanna say?
-      Opps, Elmo doesn’t know.
-      Oh, well, listen, usually what you’d do is to start off with ‘Dear Santa’ and then you ask him what you want him to bring you on Xmas Eve.
-      Is that it?
-      [mumbles] yeah, it’s… simple!
-      Oh, Elmo could have done that, except Elmo can’t write. Ok, Mr. Michael Buble, can you write this for Elmo? –Absolutely I can-. I start with ‘Dear Santa’ – Ok, ‘Dear Santa’ What would you like from Santa, Elmo?- ….
-      Oh, Elmo doesn’t know…
-      What would you like most of all?
-      Oh, you mean other than peace or love and for everyone to love each other? Well, Elmo can say it better in a song.
-      Elmo, Was just this show to coming out here and singing a song with me?

-      Noooo. Hit it Mr. [Gates]…
