SCENE 1 At Hooper's Store, Forgetful Jones struggles to remember some important information, but he succeeds: he remembers to say "Howdy" to the viewer, the street's name, his name, and that he's supposed to show the viewer around Sesame Street today! Linda comes by to congratulate his rare instance of excellent memory in sign language. Forgetful then manages to remember the next sketch on the show, which he says involves Ernie, Bert, some apples, and a large boat...

SCENE 2 Forgetful is excited about remembering the previous sketch, even though he was wrong about there being a boat in it. "That's why they call me Remembering Jones," he says. David suggests that even though he's really named Forgetful, he doesn't always forget things - just more often than most other people do. To David's astonishment, Forgetful suddenly recites the entire alphabet perfectly... though neither of them can figure out why he did it.
