But, the Count must be present, as he has to pass a final counting test in order to receive his prize. They don't want that to happen and promise he'll be here in a minute. Alan has an idea... |

Elmo successfully passes the test by counting the pickles by two. However, the judges can't give him the prize; according to his profile, thunder and lightning always follow his counting and they didn't hear any, and they don't accept Alan, Chris and Telly making "boom" sounds behind their programs. Telly pleads with the judges, telling them how the Count's counting has made millions of people happy and is the best counter. But, rules are rules and if he's not here, he can't get the prize. Suddenly, all of his friends in the audience rise up, in full Count-ensemble, claiming they're the Count. The judges see the Count is a special figure on the street, but they still cannot give him the prize, and instead award it to the second greatest counter: a hand-held calculator from [[China|Beijing]]. Chris texts the Count about his loss, who replies that it's better to count friends who care about you than prizes. |
