==Notes==
*In an early script draft for the episode, Elmo was intended to sing with Bob rather than Ruby.Tony Geiss Papers at the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library, Yale University
*In another concept cut from the finalized script, during Scene 3, Gina does present Mr. Johnson with a cheeseburger, when a Muppet deliveryman arrives with a package from Grover. The delivery contains an even larger fruit on a bun (suggested to be a watermelon or pumpkin). Grover then calls on the phone to check if the delivery made it and the two have an argument. Gordon (in place of Bob) simply notes, "Well, it's a relationship...."
