Lady Aberlin: [knocks on Daniel Tiger's Clock] Daniel Striped Tiger? Daniel? Daniel... Tiger...
[Daniel Tiger emerges in his raccoon costume]
Lady Aberlin: Raccoon? Oh, I'm so relieved to see you.
Daniel Striped Tiger: You're not afraid of me?
Lady Aberlin: No, of course not, Daniel. Why would I be? You're my friend.
Daniel Striped Tiger: Well, I just got to wondering if I might scare somebody with this raccoon costume on.
Lady Aberlin: So that's what you've been thinking.
Daniel Striped Tiger: You know, Lady Aberlin, I'm a tame tiger and I never bite.
Lady Aberlin: I know that, Daniel.
Daniel Striped Tiger: But I started to wonder if this raccoon might bite.
Lady Aberlin: Is that why you didn't come to the Castle?
Daniel Striped Tiger: I wouldn't want anybody to get scared of me.
Lady Aberlin: And I guess you... You wouldn't even want yourself to be scared of you either.
Daniel Striped Tiger: No, I wouldn't.
Lady Aberlin: Well, I'd just like to ask you one thing.
Daniel Striped Tiger: Okay, what is it?
Lady Aberlin: Who is it that's inside this raccoon costume that I see right now?
Daniel Striped Tiger: I am! You know aI am!
Lady Aberlin: Yes. And since you're inside the costume, you can make it do anything you want it to do. You're the important part. You're inside.
Daniel Striped Tiger: I am.
Lady Aberlin: If you don't want it to be a biting raccoon, then it won't be.
Daniel Striped Tiger: It won't be? Oh! What a relief that is!
Lady Aberlin: The inside is the part that matters, Daniel.
Daniel Striped Tiger: And I'm the one inside.
