	SCENE 1	Ruthie walks out onto Sesame Street from the Subway Station on her way to Finders Keepers. Several monsters are buzzing about, chanting "Moon."

It's being held on Sesame Street this year in honor of Slimey the Worm, who is currently on a long trip to the moon.

In closing, they wonder where Slimey is by now, figuring it's someplace at least a lot quieter.
