SCENE 1 | At Hooper's, Big Bird, Miles and Zoe greet the viewer, and Alan comes out with a tray of nice hot fresh yummy muffins. He puts each of them on a plate as they count them, which attracts the attention of the Count, who wants to count them himself. However, due to the way they are stacked, he misses 1. At first, he's very upset that he made a mistake, but Miles and Big Bird point out that mistakes happen all the time, which inspires the Count to spend the day counting mistakes. |
