 	SCENE 1 	It's the crack of dawn on Sesame Street. While Maria and Luis are still asleep, on their table sits Floris McDirt, a talking plant with the air of an English gentleman. He confesses to the viewer that he's yet to speak up around Maria or Luis, suggesting he'll soon be roped into radio interviews, TV ads, and appearing on Oprah and Donahue if he does. "It simply gets out of hand," he states, before beginning to observe the habits of his owners.
 	SCENE 1 cont'd	Luis wakes up and informs the half-awake Maria that later today, Gordon, Susan, Miles and Telly Monster will be coming over for dinner - their first group dinner since they got married.

Floris plays a musical game with the viewer, wondering what is the likely outcome of the situation - will Luis step around it, sit on it or trip over it?
