-I'm sorry.

-It's okay.

And this is my friend, Marcella.

-Please to meet you, Marcella.

-Ditto, Ms. Goldfinch.

-And this is our personal friend...

-Oh, wait, don't tell me.

A purple plumed Peruvian parrot.

(GIGGLES) No.

Ms. Goldfinch, um, Barney's a dinosaur.

Yeah.

If you two are about done,

I have a question about an egg.

Ouch!

I'd hate to be the bird who laid that egg.

I found it over at my grandparents farm.

I'm not sure what kind of egg this is.

We'll have to bring it

inside my house to check it out.

Oh, okay.

(WHISTLE BLOWING)

Oh.

(BIRD SQUEAKS)

(DOORBELL RINGS)

Wow!

ABBY:
Oh, it's an elevator.

BARNEY:
It's great!

MARCELLA:
Where'd all the birds come from?

ABBY:
People from all over the world

send her birds that are sick.

And once I help them get well,

most of them want to stay.

I tell you, I buy birdseed by the barrel.

Thank you.

(CAWS) Birdseed by the Barrel.

How you doing today, Ms. Goldfinch?

Hey, Mr. Millet.

GOLDFINCH:
He owns Birdseed by the Barrel.

He's making his weekly delivery.

(WHIRRING AND CHIMING)

MARCELLA:
Wow!

CODY:
What a cool...

BARNEY:
Oh, it's amazing.

ABBY:
Look at all the furniture up there.

BARNEY:
Oh, wow.

BARNEY:
It's like a museum.

-Oh, look at that.

-Look at that.

MARCELLA:
Look over there.

(ALL EXCLAIMING)

GOLDFINCH:
This is my library.

And this is my collection of empty egg shells.

Everything from hummingbirds to ostriches.

Oh, egg-cellent.

Well, if we wanna find out, we've surely come

to the right place, haven't we?

(CAWING) Excuse me.

(SINGING)

Can you tell us what's inside the egg?

Tell us what it is

BARNEY AND CHILDREN:

Ms. Goldfinch, what's inside the egg?

You are such a whiz!

Please don't ask me, I can't even guess

Hey, don't drop it! There'll be such a mess!

BARNEY AND CHILDREN:

When we found it, we were so impressed

And we wonder what's inside it

We can't see you, who's inside it?

GOLDFINCH:

Look around you, tell me what you see

BARNEY AND CHILDREN:

Miles and miles of books

GOLDFINCH:

Somewhere there we're sure to find the key

CODY:
We're no pile of schnooks!

GIRLS:
It's so gorgeous, really quite a catch

And I wonder when it's gonna hatch

Maybe this time, Cody's met his match

I don't think so.

BARNEY AND CHILDREN:

And we wonder what's inside it

We can't see you, who's inside it?

It's so pretty with its colored ring

I just hope it doesn't have a sting

What if it's a horrid reptile thing?

-Sorry, Barney.

-Oops. That's okay.

BARNEY AND CHILDREN:

And we wonder what's inside it

We can't see you, who's inside it?

Maybe it's a baby chimpanzee

Maybe it's a dinosaur like me!

Maybe it's a fluffy little duck.

So far, we aren't having any luck.

Maybe it's a cousin of E.T.'s

A tiny hummingbird!

Cody, you are such a silly tease

This is quite absurd

ABBY:
We are searching every single page

Maybe we should put it in a cage.

Maybe that might put it in a rage

BARNEY AND CHILDREN:

And we wonder what's inside it

We can't see you, who's inside it?

Don't you think that this is lots of fun?

Dreams are fancy-free!

CHILDREN:
And I feel the fun has just begun

Just you wait and see

CODY:
There's nothing here that we can find.

MARCELLA:

One more book and I'm going blind

ABBY:
But it seems that we don't really mind

BARNEY AND CHILDREN:

And we wonder what's inside it

We can't see you, who's inside it?

Let's make sure we don't run out of steam

We must stick together as a team!

Then we know we're sure to find our dream

ALL:
And we wonder what's inside it

We can't see you, who's inside it?

(TAPPING ON SHELL)

That's funny.

Okay, who's playing games here?

Did you see what I saw?

Yeah, I think I saw what you see.

Forget the see-saw, that egg moved.

ABBY:
Whoa! Another ring is lighting up.

ALL:
Whoa!

GIRLS:
Oh, man!

You have anything

like that in one of your books?

No.

And we have looked in every single one.

Wait a second.

What's that?

Oh, that old thing.

I just use that book to keep the chair from

wiggling. I don't even know its title.

Maybe that's because it doesn't have a title.

Barney!

BARNEY:
But there is a picture on the cover.

Look!

Well, what does it say?

GOLDFINCH:
It says

that there is a dream-maker inside.

-What?

-Dream-maker?

Come on!

Well, what does a...

A dream-maker look like?

I don't know.

A lot of pages are missing.

What does it say?

Every thousand years

or so, an egg falls from the skies.

Inside the shell, the dream-maker

prepares its big surprise.

A visitor from days gone by,

who has a gift to share,

for boys and girls

around the world, for children everywhere.

But mark you well,

the very spot where first the egg is found.

For when the colors, all have changed

it must hatch on this ground.

Barney, what does she mean?

Well, the egg will hatch

when all five of these rings light up.

But it will only hatch

in the very spot where Cody found it.

In the barn.

-Yeah.

-Hovering hummingbirds, you are right.

There's three more to go.

Oh, you better get

that egg back to the barn right away.

Oh, come on, you are dreaming

if you think that...

Cody, be careful!

BARNEY:
Oh, no!

-No!

-No!

-No.

-No, no!

-No. Stop.

-No.

CHILDREN:
No. No!

-Go, go, go.

-CODY:
I'm taking the fast way.

See you, Ms. Goldfinch.

BARNEY:
No, wait, Mr. Millet.

-Mr. Millet, stop!

-BARNEY:
You've got our egg!

-GIRLS:
Stop!

-BARNEY:
No, no.

Mr. Millet!

GOLDFINCH:
Come back here,

Mr. Millet, please.

Let's get on the horse and go.

But we can't all ride on Agnes.

Think I have an idea.

Great.

What is it?

Voila!

-All right!

-Great idea.

Okay, Agnes, it's all up to you.

Just use your imagination.

(HORSE NEIGHS)

Okay.

You expect a horse to use his imagination?

A horse.

Why, of course.

-Wow!

-Awesome!

Oh, cool!

How do you like it?

Hi, ho, Agnes, away!

Yahoo!

(BLENDER WHIRRING)

CODY:
Yeah!

BARNEY:
Oh, boy!

BABY BOP:
Excuse me.

I said, excuse me.

Oh, that's better.

I'm looking for my blankie.

It's this big.

And it's really, really soft, and it's yellow.

Do you know where my blankie is?

CROWD:
No, we don't.

Oh, well...

Thank you.

Okay, you can go on now.

(CROWD CHEERS)

ALL:
Mr. Millet!

(CROWD CHEERING)

(WHISTLE BLOWING)

(TIRES SCREECHING)

BARNEY:
Go after it.

Excuse me, pardon.

Huh?

Oh! Oh, no.

Whoa!

(YELLS)

(BARREL CRASHING)

(CROWD CHEERING)

(LAUGHING)

Hi. Thank you.

CHILDREN:
Barney!

Oh, I gotta get driving lessons.

Hey, Barney, long time no see.

Hey, good to see ya.

Oh, my.

-CHILDREN:
Barney, where are you?

-Oh, excuse me!

CHILDREN:
Where are you, Barney?

-CHILDREN:
Barney!

-Oh, here you are.

Oh, I'm fine.

Let's go get the egg.

Oh, wait a minute.

What is it, Barney?

What are the rules about crossing the street?

Always look both ways.

That's right.

Okay. First we look this way.

And what do you know,

there's nothing coming.

And then we look that way and...

-Whoa!

-Whoa!

(LIVELY MARCHING MUSIC PLAYS)

Look at the fancy dance

right on top of the egg.

-Oh, I can't look.

-Tell me when it's over.
