Picture	Segment	Description
	SCENE 1	Elmo and Ruthie welcome the viewer to Sesame Street. Ruthie explains to Elmo that she sells old stuff that people don't need anymore (hence the name "Finders Keepers"). She displays some of her "new old" stuff, including a toy fire engine, and a lemonade pitcher with lemons painted on it. Linda comes by, and seems to really like the pitcher. Elmo tries to get her attention, but Ruthie reminds Elmo that Linda is deaf, and communicates with sign language.
	SCENE 1 cont'd	Ruthie knows a little sign language, so she asks Linda if she likes the pitcher, and Linda does love it so. Linda says something else, but Ruthie isn't clear on it, so Linda writes it down. Linda says she doesn't know if she wants to buy the pitcher yet, and will let Ruthie know after she walks Barkley. Linda leaves, and Elmo now understands how to communicate with Linda. He knows how to write a little, but he doesn't know sign language. Ruthie points to the screen and tells him to "watch this ..."
	Cartoon	“Signing Alphabet,” an animated film by Steve Finkin. Music for voice and electronics by Joan La Barbara. (EKA: Episode 1056)
	SCENE 1 cont'd	After watching the previous segment, Elmo looks forward to learning sign language. Ruthie goes inside to gather some more treasures to put on display, and Elmo decides to look at what's already outside.
	SCENE 1 cont'd	Barkley and Linda come back to Finders Keepers, so Linda can give the pitcher a second look. Suddenly, Barkley hears a cat, and wants to chase it. Linda tries to hold the big dog steady, and as Barkley pulls her away, she accidentally drops the pitcher, and it shatters on the concrete. Elmo doesn't understand why Linda broke the pitcher she wanted to buy, and ran off without telling Ruthie.
