Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Maria observes Oscar putting up a "WET PAINT" sign on his trash can, thinking it will trick everybody into believing that he painted the can and they'll stay away. Shortly after Maria leaves, Gordon walks by and sees the sign, not believing Oscar actually painted the can. Gordon knocks on Oscar's can to inform him that the "paint" is dry; the same thing happens when Luis passes by, so Oscar angrily removes his sign. Moments later, Maria comes back and knocks on Oscar's trash can to tell him somebody took down the sign, frustrating Oscar enough to bang his head against his can lid.

The caller, Mr. Jackson (voiced by Hal Miller), asks if his radio has been fixed, so Big Bird holds the phone up around so Mr. Jackson can see it. Luis fields the rest of the call, and Big Bird remembers that you can't see through the phone. Luis then asks Big Bird to watch over his shop as he delivers the radio. With Luis away, Big Bird picks up the phone again as Maria enters from behind to say hello. Big Bird thinks that Maria is on the phone and gets excited when she says she sees him until he turns around, realizing what really happened.
