He likes this new word and repeats it over and over, then wishes to use it himself by having something scrumptious. David gives him samples of several dishes, not finding any of them truly scrumptious. Finally, an irked David asks Elmo what kind of foods he likes and plops down Elmo's favorite - an apple. However, Elmo is now much too full from all the other dishes to eat it, but takes the apple for later. |
