SCENE 1 | Maria and Elmo are having some grape juice together, as Elmo slurps his up quickly. He then wants to play a "clink-clink" game with Maria, where she must repeat the sounds he makes by clinking his glass. He doesn't like that her clicking sound is much lower than his, which Maria attributes to the fact that her glass is full. Elmo fixes things by drinking all her juice as well. |
