Picture	Segment	Description
	SCENE 1	As Mr. Hooper sweeps outside the store, a limousine pulls up on the block. A window rolls down and a man pops out, asking if the store makes old-fashioned egg creams. He is ecstatic to hear Mr. Hooper confirm this and hops right out. As he begins making the egg cream, Mr. Hooper realizes who the man is - famous movie star Michael Medford (played by James Earl Jones). As he begins autographing a paper plate, Big Bird enters and is introduced to Medford, then learns what a movie star is ("Like Benji...I wonder if he likes egg creams."). Before he can sample the egg cream, Maria and Bob rush in, star-struck. They all give him some space as he is about to sip, but now Mr. Hooper stops him. He thinks the egg cream has gone flat now and already has a fresh one prepared. Medford takes a sip and loves it ("Just as I used to drink as a kid," he notes).
