SCENE 1 | Susan, Maria, Mr. Hooper, and Telly are busy helping Luis get the renovations on the Fix-It Shop done for opening day tomorrow. An Anything Muppet courier arrives to deliver a box for Luis; Telly signs for it and explains that they're all cooperating today. The package contains some tools that the courier asks Telly to look over. The hammer, saw, and wrench all belong, but the lunchbox doesn't... it belongs to the courier. He has trouble getting it open, so he and Telly start to work on it with the tools provided. | |

His father (played by Will Lee) had made him lunch, which young Harold eventually became tired enough to eat. As he did, he felt his strength returning to him so that he could continue playing. Back in the present, Mr. Hooper is not determined to get everyone to eat, but when he re-enters the Fix-It Shop, he finds everyone eating the sandwiches... and they haven't left any for him. | |
