Picture	Segment	Description
	SCENE 1	In Gina's veterinarian office, Elmo has brought his goldfish Dorothy in for a checkup. After the checkup, Gina offers to carry the goldfish bowl out for Elmo, despite that she has a waiting room full of impatient animals. Elmo thinks Gina is nice to care for Dorothy, and begins to realize he's in love with her.
	SCENE 1, cont'd	Gina carries Dorothy to the yard, and she gives Elmo a hug. Rosita comes by and notices how lovestruck Elmo is. Elmo tells Rosita that he wants to marry Gina and live together with their "fish-baby" Dorothy. Rosita encourages Elmo to tell Gina how he feels. However, Elmo's too shy to say it, so Rosita suggests that he sing Gina a love song. Rosita, on guitar, and Elmo practice a song with the Spanish word "Amor" for love. They then play the song in Gina's office, but Gina doesn't know the music is for her.
	SCENE 1, cont'd	In the Arbor, Big Bird notices Rosita and Elmo and learns about their situation. Big Bird suggests that food is a good way to show love, since his Granny Bird sends him birdseed food to show that she loves him. Elmo likes the idea and gets a pizza with the word "love" spelled out in pepperoni. When he delivers the pizza, a pig eats it before Gina can see it.
	SCENE 1, cont'd	Elmo decides that the only way to get a veterinarian's attention is to disguise himself as an animal. But he can't figure out which animal to be, so he dresses up as four animals at once: "A chicken-kitten-cow-bunny!" He waits a long time in the waiting room for his turn, where he reveals his disguise to Gina. Elmo still struggles to confess his love for her, but Rosita tells Gina what he was going to say. Gina thinks that is sweet, but explains to Elmo that three-year-olds can't marry grown-ups. She gives an example of how Maria, Luis, Gordon, and Susan are married, but they are all grown-ups. Gina says that the love that they have is a friendship love and that she will love him no matter what. Then, Gina does a check-up on the chicken-kitten-cow-bunny at Elmo's request.
