SCENE 1 | Telly quickly tells Dylan and a Honker to tell their families about Sesame Street's newest baby - Curly Bear. Then, he hears moaning and Baby Bear arrives, who is a "wee-little wreck" because of the new baby. As they walk down the street, he tells Telly that the moment she got home, he hasn't received much attention from Mama Bear and Papa Bear and the attention he has gotten has been less than useful (in brushing his teeth and putting on his PJs). He is even upset by the fact that his family bedtime song has been altered to include Curly. |
