COLD OPEN Maria and Luis are busy at work when all of a sudden they hear sirens outside. Just then, all the king's horses and all the king's men enter the Fix-It Shop with a box containing the remains of a broken Humpty Dumpty, and request that he be fixed (as they couldn't put him together again).

SCENE 1 Humpty Dumpty, having been fixed and covered in bandages, decides to sit on a trash can instead of a wall, thinking he'll be safer if he does. He comes up with a new rhyme for his seating arrangement, but Telly tries to warn him that he's sitting on Oscar's trash can, which is not a safe place to sit. Oscar opens the lid to see what the hubbub is, and Humpty Dumpty flies off and shatters. All the king's horses and men come to sweep up the pieces and take him back to the Fix-it Shop.

SCENE 4 Humpty Dumpty, heavily bandaged and cracked in more places than ever, is still able to be put back together again at the Fix-it Shop. He likes sitting on the work counter so much that he decides to stay there - but how are Maria and Luis going to fix all their toasters if he won't move? Besides, Humpty can't think of a good rhyme for "counter," so his nursery rhyme is also in jeopardy. They suggest that he could sit in a chair; he's never heard of such a thing and decides to give it a try. Maria and Luis' attempt to get him off the counter results in crash #5.
