SCENE 1 | Herry Monster sets out a pile of bricks on the stoop of 123 Sesame Street for Maria. She notes it must have been effortless for a monster such as him and believes having his strength must be great. Herry blushes at first, but tells her that his strength can be a blessing and a curse. He runs off to the gym, while Maria wonders what it would be like to be as strong as Herry... | |
SCENE 1 cont'd | In her fantasy, Maria (speaking in a gravelly voice like Herry's) lifts a large pile of bricks for Bob with ease. He asks her to help as he tries to saw off some planks; Maria merely pounds off the sections he wants cut. David comes by and asks her to open his peanut butter jar, then asks for help opening some crates at Hooper's Store. Maria accidentally busts the front door down, then rips off one of the counter fountains. David asks her not to touch anything in the store from now on and they shake on it, which crushes David's hand. | |
