Picture	Segment	Description
	SCENE 1	Gina drops off the broken Hooper's Store toaster with Luis, who assures her he can have it fixed within a few minutes. As he tends to a phone call inside the Fix-It Shop (taking the toaster with him), Maria strolls by with Gabi and shows the viewer a very beat-up toaster she found, looking very similar to the one Gina brought over. She places it on the workbench and continues her walk. Elmo has been sent by Gina to retrieve the toaster and finds the beat-up one; he doesn't think it looks fixed, but takes it anyway. Luis comes back out and starts working on Gina's toaster. Maria comes by again and is impressed with Luis' skills, believing he's just fixed the beat-up one she had.
	SCENE 1 cont'd	Gina is appalled at the toaster Elmo has brought back; Elmo hopes this won't lead to an argument. After Maria tells them about Luis' great work, Luis enters with Gina's toaster, fully repaired. When Gina pulls out Maria's beat-up one, Luis comments that nobody is good enough to fix that. Gina and Elmo shower Luis with praise, which he bewilderedly accepts.
