COLD OPEN | What's the Word on the Street?: Murray Monster introduces the word newspaper. | |
SCENE | Gordon and Susan's nephew, Chris, just moved to Sesame Street. He is looking for a job in the Help Wanted section of the newspaper because he needs money to buy books for school. | |
SCENE, cont'd | Chris thinks the first ad might be for a job as a gym teacher because it reads, "Must love to exercise." He sings a new verse of "The People in Your Neighborhood." | |
SCENE, cont'd | When he reports to the Count, who placed the ad, he discovers that instead of teaching children how to exercise, the Count wants Chris to do exercises so that the Count can count them. | |
SCENE, cont'd | Chris looks in the paper again, and finds another want ad for a job in sales. He thinks being a salesman might not be so bad, since a salesman is also a person in your neighborhood. | |
SCENE, cont'd | The second ad Chris follows is for a sales job, selling cookies for Cookie Monster. That job doesn't work out either, because although Chris is a great salesman, Cookie Monster can't handle parting with his delicious cookies. | |
SCENE, cont'd | Next, Chris finds a want ad for a dance partner. He likes the idea of being a dancer - yet another person in your neighborhood. | |
SCENE, cont'd | Despite the fact that his dance partner is Horatio the Elephant, his audition goes well and he gets the job. Chris has to turn it down, however, when he learns he would be earning peanuts, not money. | |
SCENE, cont'd | Chris is just about to give up when he sees a "Help Wanted" sign hanging in Hooper's Store window. He meets Alan who tells him he needs help stocking shelves, working the register, and sweeping up. Chris excitedly takes the job and can't wait to start. | |
