• You heard about, through word of mouth,
  Big Bird is out, he's in the house.
  He's turnin' up, with Snuffleup,
  They're really gettin' their hustle up.
  They stick together like Velcro,
  There Grover go, there's Elmo.
  And Cookie Monster there, look he likes
  To take selfies with his cell phone.
  They got a homegirl named Abby,
  Her last name is Cadabby,
  I showed her my report card,
  She said, 'Not too shabby!'
  They got all types of cool kids there,
  It's lots of fun if you live there,
  One thing I keep forgettin' about Sesame Street...
  How do you get there?

• You can only be your best self. When I initially got on the air, I would look around me and watch people that I thought were really good and try to be like they were. And I got to a point where I realized, "I can't be them." I can only be the best that Abby can be. And as long as I'm myself and I'm genuine and I'm real, then I think that's all you can do.

Then she looked past me and Zach, past Bex and Abby, to where Agent Townsend sttod by the door with his arms crossed. "What do you think, Townsend, darling? Isn't he just like you?"

• "Abby," he murmured, lifting a hand to curve around her neck. "I love you." A sob slipped free and she wrapped her arms around his waist. One of his hands cupped the back of her neck and cuddled her in close. As he bent around her, he whispered, "I’ve loved you so long, I can’t remember what it’s like to not love you. And I’ll go to my grave loving you. You’re my everything."
