COLD OPEN | What's the Word on the Street?: Fragrance |
 |
SCENE | Elmo welcomes the viewer to the Sesame Street Flower Show, as everyone on the street sings about it. |
   |
SCENE cont'd | Elmo and Rosita hear screaming and find it coming from Stinky the Stinkweed, who's struggling to grow a flower in time for the show (it happens to coincide with his once-a-year blooming). Leela deduces from his various symptoms he's feeling nervous and tells him to relax and breathe to calm down before the judges arrive. While he tries to relax, a fellow plant (Leslie Carrara-Rudolph) starts up a conversation, talking about her flowers, suddenly growing one. She then grows another, and uses addition to total them. |
  |
SCENE cont'd | Stinky yells again, bringing his friends back. They show him another tip for calming down: belly breathing. Since he doesn't have hands or a belly, Leela has him place his leaves on his middle and just breathe. While they're gone, the other plant starts talking to him again and suddenly grows a ninth flower. |
 |
SCENE cont'd | Stinky can't take the frustration of not being able to grow a flower like the other plant. Leela takes him aside to tell him he's not like other plants; he's "Unique." |
   |
SCENE cont'd | Stinky takes Leela's song to heart, repeating to himself that he's unique. The judges roll by (an Anything Muppet and Mrs. Crustworthy, who is referred to here as Maybelle) and are about to reward the other plant with the blue ribbon, when Stinky finally blooms a beautiful flower. The judges are impressed and give him the ribbon, but are soon repulsed by his flower's terrible smell. The other plant is unhappy; she's never lost a ribbon before. Stinky reassures her that she's unique. |

Muppets / Celebrity | Elmo and Troy Polamalu look for something with a pleasant fragrance. They smell a stinky skunk, onion and sweatsock before Elmo catches the pleasant aroma of Troy's conditioner. |
 |
