Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Mr. Macintosh, the fruit vendor, gets into a brief conflict when he and Willy, the hot dog man, want to work in the same space. They set up their stands on opposite sides of the street when Susan and Heather ask Mr. Macintosh for an apple cut in half. He doesn't have a knife, but Willy does and obliges by slicing the apple. Soon after Bob asks Willy for a pound of hot dogs, but Willy needs a scale to measure it out. Mr. Macintosh lets him use his scale, as well as a paper bag to put them in. As Willy lets a chilly Mr. Macintosh warm up near his hot dog cart the two men realize that it's much better for them to cooperate rather than arguing.

Bob then sings another round of the song, explaining how they're different.
