Just how I want it.” Luis: “But Oscar, it’s totally broken! It’s no good anymore.” Oscar: “Are you kidding? I said I wanted to redecorate the place, right? My parlor looks great with all that broken glass on the floor. You know, I ought to invite my mother for a visit. She’ll love it…” As the adults shake their heads, Fred the Wonder Horse announces the sponsors. SS sign still: Grover. CTW sign still: Ernie and Bert.

SAM initiates his Super-Swiffy-Sweeper (“I am a machine…I can do anything! I can clean, count, cook, say the alphabet, and name the capital of Massachusetts!”), but it moves so fast that it spreads the trash even further. Fed up, Susan and Bob decide to clean the street by themselves.

And I’ve got them right here!” After distributing said items, Big Bird and the kids play together.

Oscar explains that he and Herry are business partners in a destruction company, which helps to wreck things for a fee. Bob and Susan don’t believe they’ll get any business, but one Grouch named Scotty (Richard Hunt) arrives and asks Herry and Oscar to destroy his china shelf, which he’s brought all the way to Sesame Street. Oscar and Herry eagerly do so, and the noise drives Susan and Bob away.

Sponsors: T, X, 9

Scene 3: Oscar goes for broke with a prank involving a bucket of confetti and a string. David and the Count pass by, and Oscar hides.

I am happy because I love counting all those pieces of confetti that landed on me! Wonderful! Can you do that again, please?” As David laughs and the Count counts the pieces of confetti, a frustrated Oscar sinks into his can.

Big Bird suggests they try the foods that the other one would eat. Snuffy leaves to get some cabbages, while Big Bird goes to Hooper’s Store for some birdseed.

Cast: Luis is trapped in a brick room until he discovers the word “SALIDA” (Spanish version of “EXIT” sketch)

Mr. Hooper pours the seed into two paper bags and he counts them with Big Bird. Susan: “Big Bird, you must be very hungry today! Can you eat two servings all by yourself?” Big Bird: “Oh, I’m not eating them! Mr. Snuffleupagus is eating them, you see. He’s going to try birdseed and I’m going to try cabbages…they’re his favorite.” Once again, the adults say to Big Bird: “There’s no such thing as a Snuffleupagus!”

Muppets: Sesame Street News Flash – Rumpelstiltskin

Film: Going to school in New Mexico

Scene 6: Big Bird returns with the birdseed, and Snuffy tries it. However, he finds it yucky. Then Big Bird tries a piece of Snuffy’s cabbage, but he dislikes it. They agree to only eat the foods they like, and they happily dig into their appropriate lunches.

Snuffy thanks Big Bird and leaves, just as the rattled adults stumble into Big Bird’s nest. Mr. Hooper: “Big Bird! Do you know where that loud noise came from? It shook all of Sesame Street! What happened?” Big Bird: “Well, Mr. Snuffleupagus just finished his lunch and let out a loud burp. He’s gone now, but I’m sorry if he…” The adults let out a collective groan and exit as Oscar announces the sponsors. SS sign still: Maria. CTW sign still: Luis.

As David tries to calm Big Bird down, Mr. Hooper arrives with the key and opens the store. Mr. Hooper turns the sign around and now the store is OPEN!

Maria: “Everyone here has the right to tell Grouches to stop complaining!” Mr. Hooper: “Yes, and everyone here has the right to tell Grouches to stop littering.” David: “And everyone here has the right to tell Grouches to scram!” As the adults corner Oscar, the defeated Grouch sinks into his can: “So much for freedom of speech around here!
