COLD OPEN | Big Bird tells the viewer that Snuffy’s snuffle-puppet Gus has something important to say after the theme song... |
  |
SCENE 1 | Just when Gus is about to speak, Gina appears, notices the viewer, and welcomes them. Gus throws a fit as he wanted to say “Welcome to Sesame Street” to everyone first. Big Bird informs Gina about how Snuffy likes to pretend Gus is real, and Gina apologizes to the puppet. She then whispers to Snuffy and Gus what else he can say: what Sesame Street is sponsored by today. Gus feels a lot better and starts jumping and giggling ("Happy, happy, joy, joy!") and thanks Gina with a kiss (albeit with the back of his head). |

Gus wants to say a poem, but then Big Bird, who's helped in some way with every snuffle-puppet show, won’t be involved. Gordon suggests Big Bird write the poem, so he can still be a part of it. Big Bird, Snuffy, and Gus agree to cooperate and shake hands on the deal, but Big Bird accidentally removes Gus from Snuffy’s snuffle. He has some trouble trying to get it back on, though Snuffy can't help but have Gus be a little difficult. ("Oh, would you hurry it up, you two? The updraft is freezing my lining!") |
