SCENE 1 | Mr. Hooper has a single container of strawberry yogurt at the store, but isn't sure how to get rid of it, knowing it's not a very popular item. He is about to dispose of it when he comes up with a better idea: he puts it on his specials board, thinking someone will take it off his hands. Gordon stops in and orders it, but soon Susan, Big Bird, the kids, and Mr. Macintosh all want some. Willy learns of the problem and proposes they all go to the supermarket and get all the yogurt they want over there. Everyone piles out of the store, leaving behind the sole yogurt container; Mr. Hooper shrugs and eats it himself. |
