 |
COLD OPEN | Elmo finds Gina giving comfort to Slimey, who's lying on a miniature couch after having a hard day so far. Gina intends to explain more in a moment and goes to get him some soup first. |
  |
SCENE 1 | Gina details the day so far for Elmo. Early in the morning, she had to do some cleaning in the back room of Hooper's Store. So, she set up a bell with a sign altering customers to ring for service. Slimey showed up to get some supplies for his dinner with Crawlamina and rang the bell, but Gina was unable to see him behind the sign. Slimey continued ringing the bell, hoping to get noticed, but Gina then confuses all the noise for a couple of Dingers dinging. Before she continues the story, Gina goes to make Slimey a nice sandwich while Elmo suggests some "little movies" be shown, cueing the following... |
