Episode 1059

Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Maria tries to study for an important test on the steps of 123 Sesame Street but is distracted by The Count exercising nearby. He admits that he doesn’t exercise to keep in shape and feel good; he just thought it was something to count. When the Count reveals that he’s planning on doing 1000 pushups, Maria decides to let him continue exercising there and go study somewhere else.
 	SCENE 1 cont'd	Maria tries to study near the yard only for the Count to come over and do 2000 sit-ups, having finished his pushups in no time. She reminds him how hard it is to concentrate on studying if he exercises too close to her and convinces him to try jogging with the promise of being able to count the trees he goes by or the steps he takes. The Count becomes intrigued and decides to try jogging in place, but Maria suggests that he should jog far; he considers jogging to Muskogee, Oklahoma. Maria tells him he doesn’t have to go that far and suggests he only jog around the block, which he goes for. She thinks it will take him about ten minutes and tries to go back to studying, only to realize the Count is quick at jogging, and stops in front of her to count each lap.
