The Great Fruit Strike

COLD OPEN 	A bunch of fruit set up today's theme of fruit. The banana nearly throws off the proceedings, uttering "monkey" due to his nervousness.
	SCENE 1 	Mr. Johnson stops at Hooper's Store for a snack after sorting his seashell collection. A bunch of fruit eagerly awaits being chosen, but Mr. Johnson orders some vegetable soup instead. Then, Elmo and Big Bird come in for a snack and choose other foods as well. The fruit gets fed up with being ignored, so they pack up their things and leave, hoping to go somewhere they're appreciated.
	SCENE 1 cont'd 	While the fruit waits for the bus, Zoe comes in for a fruit smoothie. She's disappointed by the news and claims she's written a song about bananas, joined by Alan and Elmo. The banana hears this and decides to come back to the store. Inspired, the others come up with songs to show the fruit how much they care.
	SCENE 1 cont'd 	First, Alan leads a country song about his love for tomatoes. Then, Elmo delivers a rap about his favorite fruit - grapes. Big Bird loves all fruits, so everyone joins him for a song in celebration of all things fruit.
