COLD OPEN | What's the Word on the Street?: Compliment |
   |
SCENE 1 | Leela welcomes the viewer to Sesame Street, and shows us the new video camera she's using to make a video of her new home, which she wants to show to her parents in India. She aims the camera at the laundromat where she works, and has everyone inside wave at the camera. |

SCENE 1 cont'd |
Next, she goes over to Hooper's Store, where Alan finishes serving fresh-baked cookies to Prairie Dawn, which she wants to share with her friend, a letter O. Prairie suggests that the O could be in Leela's video, and they look for something that starts with O. Once they observe the oatmeal cookies, Cookie Monster pops up and devours them ("Me compliments to the chef!"), then chases after the O, thinking it's a cookie. Leela didn't have a chance to get either of them on camera, so she moves on to look for something else to show her parents. |

Leela comes across Elmo and Rosita getting a candle ready for Jack (of Jack Be Nimble) to jump over. Leela proceeds to tape the jump-over, but Elmo and Rosita don't know how to read, so they ask Leela to do it. She finishes reading, and Jack jumps over the candlestick, straight towards Leela. Jack immediately has to leave, so Leela looks for something else to tape. |

She overhears Big Bird having a meeting with the Birdketeers, who flap their wings as they sing the alphabet song. Once Leela gets there, she asks them to do it again, but halfway through the second time, the cuckoo clock chimes, which means the meeting is over. |

Leela is upset that she hasn't taped anything for her parents yet, when Oscar the Grouch offers to let her get a shot of him. However, when the camera starts rolling, he doesn't come out of his trash can (it was a trick). |

Leela sits down on the steps, feeling sad. Meanwhile, Alan gathers Elmo, Rosita, Prairie, Big Bird and the O to come to Leela so she can get a shot of all of them, which turns into a quarrel as Cookie Monster continues chasing the O. Leela is once again happy after showing her parents the most amazing part of Sesame Street...her friends. |
