SCENE 4 Mr. Hooper gives some last-minute instructions to Cookie before leaving. He makes sure the monster knows he is not to eat anything in the store. Cookie is certain he can keep this promise, but begins salivating over a yummy-looking model airplane. Within moments, Bob comes in and purchases it as a birthday gift. He then eyes a kite to perhaps nibble on, but Gordon comes in to take it back; Mr. Hooper was repairing it for him. He becomes tempted once more to eat a Beatles record, when Mr. Hooper phones the store to check up on him. Cookie tells him he can be trusted, though he briefly becomes tempted to snack on the phone receiver.

SCENE 5 Bob drops by again to order an ice cream sundae. Cookie recommends the specialty of the house - a ukulele split. Cookie produces a dish and shows how to make one - first, he plops a scoop of ice cream, then covers it with jellybeans, whipped cream, and a letter E. Bob asks why it's called a "ukulele split," when Cookie remembers the most important part - splitting a ukulele in half (karate-style) and putting it on top. Bob turns a little green and goes home to have a sandwich instead.
