Episode 3010

Picture	Segment 	Description
 	COLD OPEN 	At Hooper's Store, Big Bird realizes he has to return a library book and tells Gina to tell Cyranose de Bergerac, the world's greatest rhymer, that he'll be back soon. Gina becomes excited when she finds out he's coming, but Big Bird explains that Cyranose gets very angry hearing the word "nose" - hearing that word makes him go into a frenzy. When Gina asks, the subject of the book Big Bird has to return happens to involve today's sponsors. He goes off, and reminds them not to say "nose."
 	SCENE 1 	Gina swats a pesky fly away as she, Elmo, and two other kids wait for Cyranose's arrival. Cyranose makes an heroic entrance into Hooper's, as he swishes his very long nose around and exclaims triumphantly. He says he will wait for Big Bird, and asks Gina for a cup of coffee. "What a charming bistro," he observes, accidentally knocking the salt down with his n... appendage, which Gina stops Elmo from pointing out. Gina gives him the coffee, and suddenly balks when she sees the fly land on Cyranose. Everyone hesitantly tries to indicate where the fly is without saying... the word, but Cyranose is clueless.
 	SCENE 1cont'd	"Oh, zis? And what is ze name for zis?" No one wants to answer. The fly flies away, and Gina asks him if he would like some milk in his coffee, but accidentally says "nose" instead of "coffee." Suddenly it's SWISH! CRASH! as Cyranose throws one of his fits, swishing his nose back and forth like a sword and sending items on the shelves flying off.

 	SCENE 2 	Elmo has dressed himself up as "Elmonose de Bergerac," wearing a spoon tied across his face. He imitates Cyranose's every characteristic, including his rhyming prowess and scaring Maria away when she says the n-word. Cyranose and Elmonose meet face-to-face and get into a swordfight... or nosefight, as it were.

 	SCENE 3 	Maria and Gina think Cyranose shouldn't get so upset at that little word; Cyranose isn't even sure why he feels that way. ("If I knew zat, I would be ze king of France.") Maria has a solution: showing him the letters NO, then the letters SE, and seeing if they make him angry. They don't, but when they're combined he throws another fit.

 	SCENE 4 	Maria and Luis talk to Cyranose about his short temper. Luis says counting is a good way to cool down if you're angry, so Cyranose tries it. Luis gives fair warning that he'll say the word. He does, and Cyranose fumes at first but calms down as he counts to 30. He appears peaceful at first, except for one little thing: before he counted, Luis said the word! Cyranose throws yet another fit.

 	SCENE 5 	Maria advises Oscar not to say the word in front of Cyranose, and it looks to Maria like he will at first, but he says he won't. "I don't have to say 'nose' just because this guy has a giant smeller and goes nutty if you say it," Oscar tells her before leaving. Cyranose shows up and asks Maria who she was talking to. He would like to meet Oscar (who tries to restrain himself), but Maria advises against it. Oscar can take it no longer: he pops out of his can and says "Nose!" repeatedly. Cyranose throws another fit, but this time he thrusts his nose and slices into the side of Oscar's trash can! Maria has difficulty getting him unstuck, and confronts him head-on about his anger towards that word. She suggests that whoever says that word isn't always talking about his... smeller, which is just as good as anyone else's - it only looks different. She lists its uses, but he still isn't convinced of his... smelller's worthiness. She leaves to get Luis (or a can opener) as Oscar continues to pester the perturbed poet.

 	SCENE 6 	Luis has had to cut a hole in Oscar's can to free Cyranose - for now, Fluffy's trunk sticks out of it. Maria and Luis remind Oscar why Cyranose got mad: he thinks no one likes his nose. The general consensus is that Cyranose has a wonderful nose which everyone likes (even Oscar), but no one is sure how to tell him about it until Elmo suggests they sing. Gina returns with Cyranose and his bandaged... smeller, and they spontaneously break into song: "We Love Your Nose!" after which Cyranose no longer feels self-conscious about his nose. (Maria: "It's not just a smeller - it's a way of life!")
