SCENE 1 Telly and Elmo pretend to be detectives: they're dressed in Sherlock Holmes-esque outfits, holding magnifying glasses, and even have some mysterious music backing them up. Telly wants to quit, though, as there aren't any mysteries on Sesame Street to solve. Elmo tries to make mysteries out of some nearby sounds, but Telly is quick to point out the sources. They don't hear anything after that and wonder why... which makes it a mystery!
