 | SCENE 1 | It's a chilly morning on Sesame Street and Maria freezes as she waits for David. Oscar, looking to start an argument, acts like it's hot. Maria catches wise and convinces David to agree with Oscar. He sees that if he disagrees with David, he'll be agreeing with Maria (and vice verse). He decides to take a middle route and say it's perfect outside. David and Maria are amazed at him using such terminology and Oscar sheepishly slinks into his can. |
