COLD OPEN | Ahoy! Pirate Edna (Andrea Martin) sails the high seas aboard her ship, with her seagull Stinky, on her way to Sesame Street. She looks through her telescope, and spots today's sponsors. | |
SCENE 1 | Big Bird plays catch with some kids, when Pirate Edna makes a less-than-grand entrance. They pry her out of the garbage bin, and she asks them for help in her search for buried treasure (she has a permit to do so). Gina has to work at Hooper's, but the others are willing to join her, so they get their own eye patches. Before digging, Edna leads them in some exercises. Big Bird remarks, "Pirates have as much fun as day care!" | |
