Big Bird: Is Bryan home yet?
Ernie: No, he's still at Hooper's.
(moaning and sobbing noise are heard from the master bedroom which has been barred and locked)
Snuffy: (peaking thru the livingroom window) What's that noise?
Bert: Cookie Monster. Bryan locked him in the bedroom after what happened last night. I feel so bad for Erin. She probably needs help cleaning up.
Ernie: Good idea, Bert. See you when you get back!
Bert: Ernie...
Ernie: Coming! (follows his pal to help clean up Erin's place)
Erin: I'll get it. (opens door) Oh, hi guys, come on in...no, we've gotten it all cleaned up, don't worry.
Scooter: So what's going on with Cookie Monster?
Erin: Locked in the bedroom? Poor guy...but don't worry, we're not angry at him.
Scooter: Er...well, at least most of us aren't.
Nora: Yeah, we'd keep him away from Storyteller for a bit if we were you. (points to Storyteller's hut, the door of which is locked) She's a little out of sorts, to put it mildly.
Beige: I had no idea she was such a neat freak.
Erin: Then I'm amazed she didn't flip over the state of my room. (pause) I'll get the kettle boiling, and does anyone feel like eating anything?
