Picture	Segment	Description
	COLD OPEN	Luis and Maria have a lot of work to do at the Fix-It Shop. They quickly present today's sponsors before starting to repair the Count's cuckoo clock (since the little bat inside has a squeaky cough).
	SCENE 1	The Count's clock is now repaired, though strangely has 19 numbers on it. The Count explains it's Transylvanian time and that 19 o'clock is the most important time of the day. They wind the clock to 19 and the bat inside shrieks 19 times. Now, it's "Bat Time," where the Count tells his bats their bat-time story (a variation of Peter Rabbit).
