 	SCENE 1 	Bob introduces the viewer to his friend T.J., who is deaf and communicates with sign language. Elmo wants to meet him, but feels like he can't because T.J. can't hear what he's saying.

He observes that T.J. is a really good ball player, and also that Sesame Street is a very noisy place.
