SCENE 1 David puts up a sign in Hooper's Store reading "David's Peanut Butter," advertising peanut butter he's made himself. Hiroshi comes by and has a sample, but is much more engrossed in the sign. He grabs it, pulls out his supplies and makes David's sign into a work of art. He retrains the wordage, but adds tons of color and a picture of a peanut butter jar. An Anything Muppet woman (Camille Bonora) comes in and the sign immediately catches her eye. She doesn't want to buy any peanut butter, though - she purchases the pretty sign instead.

Fish Cowboy Hat
Muppets Ernie & BertErnie tries to put a pot on Bert's head. Bert asks Ernie why he's doing that, and Ernie says that he broke a cookie jar. Ernie has to put the cookies somewhere, so he put them in the sugar bowl – and put the sugar in the flowerpot, which meant that he had to put the flower in a milk bottle. He put the milk in the soda bottle, the soda into the fishbowl, and the fish in Bert's cowboy hat. Bert asks, "Now what am I going to wear when I want to play cowboy?" Ernie puts the pot on Bert's head and says, "Ride 'em, cowboy, Bert!"

SCENE 2 David puts up a new sign and hopes more customers will buy some peanut butter. Gladys the Cow enters, dressed as a peanut. She's written a promotional performance piece to help sell his peanut butter. As a part of the show, David provides her some peanut butter, but it closes her mouth and makes her lines unintelligible... except to a pair of Muppet peanuts who applaud her work. They don't want to buy any peanut butter, but they do want to be in it.
