COLD OPEN | What's the Word on the Street?: Pair | |
SCENE | Elmo and Telly are enjoying breakfast at Hooper's Store with Chris when Little Bo Peep arrives with her cow (Leslie Carrara-Rudolph). She explains she traded her sheep in for a cow, which is harder to lose. However, when she turns her back, the cow strolls away and she can’t see him anywhere. Telly has an idea on how to capture the cow and pulls Elmo off-screen to become... | |
SCENE cont'd | The Cowmonster Pair! Telly brings in Luis, dressed in cowboy gear, who sings in praise of the pair. The Cowmonster Pair heads out of the store to begin their search. | |
SCENE cont'd | Elmo and Telly look for cow clues, but they don’t know what they are. Luis pops up again and sings that they need to find cow tracks. Telly spots tracks on the ground, which they assume belongs to the cow. Telly throws his lasso, but instead catches a chicken (John Kennedy), whose claws made the tracks. Bo Peep thinks she can file a “missing cow report”, but Luis appears once again, and advises them to look for rounder tracks. | |
SCENE cont'd | They look around Oscar's trash can for cow tracks. They spot round animal tracks spreading up along the can. Telly hurls his lasso into the can and is pulled in by the creature, who turns out to be a raccoon (Carrara-Rudolph). The raccoon reveals he made the paw prints on the can. Luis sings another clue for them: cow tracks are shaped almost like two half moons. | |
SCENE cont'd | Telly and Elmo spot two moon-shaped tracks leading into 123 Sesame Street. Telly once again tosses his lasso and is pulled toward the window. A lassoed moose (Matt Vogel) appears, who mistakenly thinks he is in the Tundra. Elmo sees that the tracks are caused by the moose’s hooves. Telly and Bo Peep give up, but Elmo thinks they still have a chance and has Luis appear again, but he instead sings about them giving up. | |
SCENE cont'd | Elmo thinks that with the clues they already have, they can find the cow. Elmo thinks the cow tracks will be like the moose tracks, but smaller. They follow a series of tracks in the yard, when they come across the cow tracks that lead up to a rope. Telly tugs on it, which sends a cow hurtling down onto them. Bo Peep thanks the pair as they head back to Hooper’s for breakfast. Luis sings a final ballad about the Cowmonster Pair from the fire escape. | |
