File:Episode 2011 scene 01.jpg	SCENE 1	David is using the computer in the Fix-It Shop to manage supplies he's buying for Hooper's Store when Elmo (Richard Hunt) comes in and wants to play a game. David plays a rhyming game with him on the computer, and then explains they can do the same without a computer. A couple of kids come by and tell David they'd like to buy something in the store, giving him the idea to task Elmo with finding something that rhymes with boys. He leaves him to it while he heads back over to the store, when he hears a racket coming from the Fix-It Shop. He rushes back to find Elmo banging on the counter with a hammer. He's found a word that rhymes with boys: noise. (A very brief clip of this scene appears in Being Elmo.)
