They don lab coats and sing a jaunty science tune. Gordon explains the steps to be a scientists; First, they need to make a question they want an answer to. They look around the street for inspiration and spot Leela giving Barkley a bath. They wonder if everyone on Sesame Street takes a bath. Elmo and Rosita form a hypothesis that everyone does, while Telly thinks everyone doesn't. Armed with a journal to take notes, they head off to find some data.
 	SCENE cont'd 	Chris sits in his bathtub singing a song when the Happy Scientists appear. Much to his embarrassment, they observe that he takes a bath and Telly draws a picture for their journal. They sing their song again and disappear. Chris makes a note to put a lock on the door.

 	SCENE cont'd 	In the garden, they watch a sparrow (John Kennedy) roll in the dirt. Telly is sure that the bird isn't bathing and believes his hypothesis is correct, when the sparrow explains that he's taking a dust bath to keep his feathers and skin healthy. Telly doesn't believe it and finds an owl (Tracie Mick), who isn't taking a dust bath like the sparrow. The owl is actually taking a sun bath, to get rid of germs in her feathers. Losing hope, Telly thinks of someone who he's sure doesn't take a bath.
 	SCENE cont'd 	Telly bangs on Oscar's trash can, and is sure he won't be taking a bath. But, Oscar emerges while taking a mud bath. Telly is upset and exclaims he's a "mad scientist."
