Picture	Segment	Description
	SCENE 1	Grover gives a presentation of how well he can remember things. His assistant David flashes a card with the letter S on it, which Grover will remember once the card is flipped. However, Grover immediately forgets what letter it was. As he tries to remember, Gordon enters with his Sesame Street Sluggers uniform, all embroidered with Ss; this doesn't stimulate anything for Grover. He then tries to shush Oscar the Grouch, who complains that his typewriter is missing an S key. He then sees Susan wearing an S-shaped pin and the kids scrubbing scribbled Ss off the wall, all the while still unable to remember the letter. David wants to leave and drops the card. Grover picks it up and suddenly "remembers" it was the letter S.
