SCENE 1 cont'd | The Amazing Mumford stops by Hooper's Store, having gotten a second job with S.S.N.W.C. Inc. (Sesame Street Nose Warmer Company Incorporated). David recalls Grover also working for that company (referencing the previous sketch). Mumford has a different method of peddling his wares - magic, although David has no need for a nose warmer. He waves his wand and gives David an elephant-like warmer, then a tiny one. David complains neither of these fit, so Mumford gives it one more try. He waves his wand and the store fills with smoke; Mumford is gone, but... |

They clarify what they want him to do and Finkelman tries the trick again, shrinking David's ears, but giving Maria and Luis some Groucho glasses (to make David fit in). David makes it clear his nose needs to be smaller and Finkelman admits he can't do that, so he magically prepares some lunch for them all instead. |
