 	SCENE 1 	Herry Monster watches Luis trying to fix a toy car at the Fix-it Shop. Luis asks Herry if he knows what's inside, and gives him permission to open it up and see. Herry gets the car separated with little effort and the two observe the metal strip that helps the mechanical car go. Luis repairs the car, and Herry is encouraged to look inside other things. He brings out his balloon and pops it, finding there's only air inside (and a loud noise).
