SCENE 1 | Gina welcomes the viewer while explaining that it's nighttime on Sesame Street, which means that it's almost time for the little kids to go to sleep. Tonight she happens to be babysitting Elmo, who rushes out as he's trying to avoid something he needs to do before bedtime. Gina reveals what it is by giving clues: it takes place in the bathroom, and involves a bar of soap, a towel, and a scrub brush. It's bath time! Elmo concedes and agrees to take one after getting his toy turtle... which he claims is in Cleveland. |
