COLD OPEN | Today on Sesame Street, you could meet a clumsy camel, rhyming farm animals or Matt Lauer! cut from the Max version | |
SCENE | Luis and Maria welcome the viewer. It's their wedding anniversary, and they celebrate by having a picnic in a quiet spot. | |
SCENE, cont'd | Their quiet is soon interrupted when Big Bird, Elmo, and Zoe walk by to sing about the letter of the day. They proceed in a song about the letter H, while Luis and Maria look on skeptically. | |
SCENE, cont'd | After concluding part one of their song, Big Bird notes that it's time for part two. Three children join them and they repeat the melody, simply laughing instead of singing. Luis tells Maria that they need to find a new place for their picnic, and they sneak away. | |
SCENE, cont'd | Now situated in a new spot, Luis and Maria look forward to having a quiet picnic alone. H-Man pops up, however, prompting them with undue attention when they utter the words "honey" and "huh." | |
SCENE, cont'd | Big Bird, Elmo, and Zoe walk over, thanking H-Man for coming, and he prepares to host the "Sound of H Game." Luis and Maria are invited to play, and they reluctantly agree. | |
SCENE, cont'd | H-Man presents a grid of four objects and sings a version of "Three of These Things." Big Bird, Elmo, and Zoe isolate the helicopter, hippopotamus, and hexagon from the ball, and win the game. | |
SCENE, cont'd | Rather than saying goodbye, H-Man brings in Herb, Helen, Harold, and Hanna Honker. As they hop and honk, Luis and Maria again elect to sneak away. | |
SCENE, cont'd | Having scouted out a new picnic location, Luis and Maria breathe a sigh of relief and wish each other a happy anniversary. Their serenity again disappears, however, when Big Bird and Mr. Snuffleupagus walk in. Out of desperation, Luis directs them not to carry out their Letter H Dance in their presence, and notes again that they want time alone together. | |
SCENE, cont'd | As Big Bird and Snuffy leave to dance the hula, Maria notes that the dance is her and Luis' favorite, and that they engaged in it on their honeymoon in Honolulu, Hawaii. Now having reconsidered, they join the others in their dance and elect to have their picnic later. | |
