Picture	Segment	Description
	SCENE 1	Telly Monster welcomes the viewer, noting how his arm is still in a cast. Even though he has a broken arm, he says there are still some things he can do, such as making the peanut butter sandwich he's eating...
	SCENE 1 cont'd	In a flashback, Maria is seen offering to help Telly, but he insists that he doesn't need it, so she goes back to the Fix-It Shop. Before long, Telly realizes how hard it is to open the jar with one hand, scoop the peanut butter out of the jar, and spread it onto the bread. He asks Maria for help on all of those things.
	SCENE 1 cont'd	Back in the present, Telly has finished his sandwich and is ready to eat his banana for dessert. Maria doubts that he can eat it with a broken arm, but he says he can manage. To Maria's amazement, Telly devours the entire banana, peel and all! "Cookie Monster taught me how to do that," he says, daintily dabbing his mouth with a napkin. "After all - I am a monster!"
