She dreams herself in a Victorian opera setting, where a well-dressed Wolfgang (in fluent English) sings about his love for fish. By the song's end, Wolfgang's barking brings her back to reality. |

Elmo pretends to go to the store and picks out a "B" and a "Z" for the soup on the keyboard. They print out the letters so Elmo can take them home, though Elmo still doesn't want to learn about the computer when asked. He exits, and Luis comments, "Sometimes you've just gotta be a little sneaky." |
