Picture	Segment	Description
	SCENE 1	Count von Count plans to count all the people inside Hooper's Store; so far David is the only one. Since it's lunchtime, he assumes there will be many people coming in to eat. However, everyone passing by has other plans: Big Bird is heading out to see his cousin Myrtle, the kids (including Joey) are bringing sack lunches to the park, and Bob is busy carrying a broken record player to the Fix-it Shop. Discouraged, the Count shifts gears and plans to count people not going into Hooper's. He prepares to count Maria when she says she has to run a few errands... inside the store. "This is not my day," the Count bemoans.
