	SCENE 1	Elmo goes to Hooper's Store to show David his new baby doll, which he has given a name that begins with the letter "D." After David guesses a few incorrect answers, Elmo reveals that he has named the doll "David" after him. Elmo believes that having two Davids on Sesame Street could be confusing, so he has taken the liberty of changing David's name to "Dustin." David finds this ridiculous until a couple of Anything Muppets stop by to make their orders and refer to him as such.
