SCENE 1 | In the Fix-It Shop, David plays a computer game with Elmo (Kevin Clash), who discerns whether the items shown onscreen are the same or different.

SCENE 1 cont'd | David points Elmo to an assortment of cans on the store counter and tasks him with finding cans that are the same and different. David briefly steps outside to clear a table in the yard. As he heads back to the store, he overhears Elmo muttering "same" over and over, and discovers that he's removed all of the can labels, so now they all look the same! Elmo thanks David for the nice game and leaves, while David glumly tries to figure out which can is which. |
