SCENE 1 | Rosita, with a new pad of paper and a marker, is in the mood for drawing and asks Luis at the Fix-It Shop to be the subject of her first artwork. He strikes a pose as Rosita gets to work, calling the finished piece Hombre Con Una Tostadora ("Man With a Toaster"). She makes another drawing of Gabi, prompting Luis to remark she should draw everyone on Sesame Street. Inspired, Rosita goes to do just that, even though Sesame Street is filled with monsters, Grouches, and worms of all kinds. |
