Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Gina rushes to Hooper's Store, asking David if she can get off work today. She excitedly tells him her favorite rock group, Little Jerry and the Monotones, is going to be visiting today and shows him a letter from Little Jerry himself informing her of it. David allows her the day off, when they suddenly hear the sounds of music. Sure enough, Little Jerry and the band come down the block singing "Rock 'N Roll Star." Gina passes out from excitement.

 	SCENE 2 	Gina, David, and the kids gather to have a chat with Little Jerry. Gina asks where the group gets their ideas for their songs, and Little Jerry recalls just the other day that he realized most of his big hit songs are about feelings. He describes them, cutting away to footage excerpted from "Proud," "Sad," and "Mad." Little Jerry then experiences all those emotions all over again: feeling proud to meet Gina, sad at the thought of leaving, and mad with the prospects of dealing with his little brother at home.

 	Insert 	Elmo enters the Fix-it Shop to play a game. Maria tells him to make it a quiet game, so he proceeds to talk quiet. When Maria comments that he's not talking very loudly, Elmo starts to talk loud. He explains that he's playing the "quiet/loud game," where he switches from one to the other depending on what someone says. Maria has trouble getting her work done with all the noise, and it doesn't help when Bob and Piri interject and trigger Elmo by saying "quiet" and "loud." Maria tells him to play a game that doesn't involve any talking, so Elmo starts to stare silently at Maria - which still distracts her from working.
