. HENRY: Hello, I'm Henry. ELMO: Oh, and Elmo is Elmo. HENRY: And we're here to tell you all about the word respect.

ELMO: Yes. R-E-S-P-E-C-T, honey. HENRY: That means respect. ELMO: Yes. HENRY: And the word respect means treating someone in a way that makes them feel cared for and important. PIGS: Help! Aid! Aid! BIG BAD WOLF: Stop, little pigs! HENRY: Wow, guys. What's going on here? PIG: The big bad wolf wants to huff... PIG: And blow... PIG: And blow up our respective houses! ELMO: Oh no, well, Mr. Big Bad Wolf can't do that. BIG BAD WOLF: Oh, of course I can. I'm the big bad wolf, you know? ELMO: Yes, but today's word is respect. BIG BAD WOLF: And then?

HENRY: So respect means treating someone in a way that makes them feel cared for and important. ELMO: That's right. BIG BAD WOLF: So, does that mean I should treat piggies with respect? HENRY: That would be the right thing to do. ELMO: Yes. And it would also help teach everyone today's word. BIG BAD WOLF: OK. So, in the name of vocabulary, I will treat piggies with respect. HENRY: Good choice, Big Bad. PIG: Where are you going? BIG BAD WOLF: There you have it, Piggies. PIG: Wow! PIG: It's a cake that says, "Little pigs are cool!" PIG: I feel cared for.

PIG: And important. HENRY: That's respect. ELMO: Yes, respect. PIGS: We love you, Big Bad! BIG BAD WOLF: Oh. Hey. Now I feel cared for and important. HENRY: That's respect. ELMO: Yes, respect. BIG BAD WOLF: Well, thanks for teaching me about respect, guys. PIGS: You are the best. PIG: Come here, you. HENRY: Now I feel loved and important. ELMO: Yes, Elmo too. HENRY: That's ALL: Respect! TELLY: Come on, security chickens! SAFETY CHICKENS: When you play with your friends at your school or on your street, there is a rule you must remember: a requirement you must meet. This rule will keep us safe so we don't hurt each other.

It's what our mom taught us when we grew up on the farm. She said: BABY BEAR: Huh? What does that mean? SAFETY CHICKS: It means giving a kiss for safety and respect. Safety and respect. Oh, kiss him for safety and respect. Safety and respect. BABY BEAR: So what's respect, chickens? CHICKEN: Good question! SAFETY CHICKENS: Respect is when you treat people fairly. You make them feel important and show them that you care. ROSITA: How do you do that? CHICKEN: I'm glad you asked. SAFETY CHICKS: Do not hit with your hands. Don't kick with your legs. You could hurt someone.

Or you could break your best friend's balls. Don't use your arms to push someone to the ground. Respect your friends and neighbors. Neighbors. And everyone around! Yeah! What it means to show security and respect. Safety and respect. Oh, kiss him for safety and respect. Safety and respect. Oh, give him a kiss. Show safety and respect. Safety and respect, please. CHICK: Very well, is everyone clear about safety and respect? BABY BEAR: Oh, yeah. No hits. ROSITA: No kicks. BOTH: And without pushing. CHICKEN: Mmm. They have the rules. CHICKEN: Well, it looks like our work here is done.

CHICKEN: Be careful! NARRATOR: It's a global thing! GLOBAL THING: Hello. NARRATOR: Hello, Global Thingy. He is cute. Let's see what's happening. It is a concert. To listen to music. PHONE: Hello? NARRATOR: Come on, you can't talk during a concert. Think about the people around you. Show some respect. They are moving. That's good. Let's listen again. PHONE: Goodbye. Hey, where did they go? Hey. NARRATOR: Oh, come on! You're not thinking about everyone around you. You're not showing any respect. PHONE: Hello? NARRATOR: Would you like people to interrupt you? PHONE: Huh? Shh. NARRATOR: You don't feel very well, do you?

ALL: Shh. VOICE ON THE PHONE: Can you hear me? PHONE: Oh, I have to go. ALL: Thank you. NARRATOR: Oh. Now everyone is showing respect. GLOBAL THING: Goodbye. MURRAY: What does the word respect mean? MAN: Respect is when you treat someone like you care about them. WOMAN: You treat them in a special way. WOMAN: Appreciate and value others. MURRAY: Who do you show respect to? CHILD: My parents. My teachers. GIRL: My uncle, my aunts. CHILD: My friends in my classroom. WOMAN: A sign of respect would be to make sure you don't hurt your friend's feelings. CHILD: If you know someone, you shake their hand.

BOY: Call the person Mr. and Mrs. GIRL: If someone talks to you, listen to them respectfully. CHILD: Respect. MURRAY: That's the word on the street. You are being respectful because I talk and you listen. Way to show respect. USHER: Hello, I'm Usher. BERT: And I'm Bert. USHER: And we're here to talk to you about the word unique.
