	SCENE 1	In Hooper's Store, Forgetful Jones struggles to remember how to welcome the viewer, but he succeeds: he remembers the viewer, to say "Howdy," the street name and his own name! Linda comes by to congratulate him in sign language. Next he manages to remember the next sketch on the show.

	SCENE 2	Forgetful is excited about remembering the Ernie and Bert sketch (except that he was wrong about there being a boat in it). "That's why they call me Remembering Jones," he says.

To David's astonishment, he recites the entire alphabet, although neither of them can remember why he does.
