Biff asserts that he can't leave his equipment unsupervised, so he tries figuring out a solution as to who can stay and watch the tools and wait for the mail. While he does this, the mailperson comes by and gives Maria her mail. Maria must now go open the Fix-It Shop and suggests they ask Susan to help. Susan is also waiting for an important package and starts flip-flopping on a solution... |

They confront Cookie Monster, but he denies the charge: "Not have same mustache!" He shouts, "Look over there!" -- and while they're distracted, he draws a mustache on the poster. They apologize -- but then Cookie Monster takes off his hat, and cookies fall out. The Great Cookie Thief makes his escape. (First: Episode 0276) |
