Sesame Street - Twin Beaks


Monsterpiece Theater overture, COOKIE MONSTER is seated in a chair wearing a lovely red smoking jacket.

COOKIE MONSTER

A dramatic music piece is played, da-dum.

COOKIE MONSTER

COOKIE MONSTER runs off the stage.

The scene is now a diner, we FOCUS on a booth with a piece of pie on a red-checkered table-cloth. COOKIE MONSTER enters the diner and spies the said pie. Twin Peaks music softly plays in background.

COOKIE MONSTER speaks into a hand-held mini-tape recorder.

COOKIE MONSTER sits down at the booth with the pie and looks around the diner.

COOKIE MONSTER

A WAITRESS, a bird with orange feathers, appears with her back to us.

Dramatic music plays as the WAITRESS turns to face us. Instead of one beak she has ... two beaks! (The effect is one of having split her beak down the middle.)

WAITRESS

The WAITRESS quickly walks away.

COOKIE MONSTER

Disappointed, COOKIE MONSTER sighs and then gets out of the booth and walks towards the next table.

COOKIE MONSTER

Seated with their backs to us, COOKIE MONSTER speaks to TWO BIRDS at the next table.

DAVID FINCH

DAVID FINCH turns to face us and we see that he also has two beaks?!

DAVID FINCH walks away. The second bird at the table stands up, its LAURA.

The LOG BIRD leaves as COOKIE MONSTER says ...

COOKIE MONSTER

Standing next to an eavesdropping WAITER BIRD wiping up at the counter, COOKIE MONSTER speaks into the mini-tape recorder.

COOKIE MONSTER

The WAITER BIRD looks up in shock and quickly leaves.

COOKIE MONSTER

COOKIE MONSTER spots a pie on the counter.

COOKIE MONSTER

COOKIE MONSTER picks up the pie and leaves.

COOKIE MONSTER

Monsterpiece Theater sets as COOKIE MONSTER rushes on and sits down.

COOKIE MONSTER

COOKIE MONSTER cocks his head and poses.

COOKIE MONSTER

COOKIE MONSTER picks up a pie from out of sightline and devours it.
