SCENE 1 | Luis gives Telly Monster a plan on how to get Oscar the Grouch to help show one of today's letters - R. Telly loudly begins his talk to get Oscar's attention and asks Oscar not to help at all. The reverse psychology works, as Oscar produces a myriad of R-word items, thinking it will mess up Telly's talk. He's horrified to learn he's actually been helping. |
