Another Sesame Street sketch rewrite, this time it's a sketch where Count gets a job as a elevator operator. Enjoy and comment.
Count was excited. Today was his first day working as a elevator operator.
"What a wonderful day!" he said to himself. "I'm going to be the best elevator operator ever! I can't wait to count all the floors, and take people on the elevator!"
Just then, Kermit arrived, dressed in his reporter attire.
"Hello!" said Kermit. "Can you take me to the…"
Kermit was surprised to see Count.
"Count? What are you doing here?"
"I am the new elevator operator!" exclaimed Count. "I got the job this morning!"
"Wonderful!" replied Kermit. "Can you take me to the seventh floor?"
"Of course! Walk this way!"
Kermit followed Count into the elevator.
"Watch your step please."
Soon, the elevator doors shut, and Count began to count.
"Starting at one, and going up! One floor, two floors, three floors, four floors, five floors…"
Kermit walked towards the door as they approached the sixth floor.
"Six floors, seven floors…"
But Count went by the seventh floor.
"Wait!" cried Kermit. "Go back!"
"Eight floors, nine floors, ten floors! I love it!"
"But I wanted to get off at the seventh floor!" said Kermit.
"I'm sorry Kermit!" replied Count. "I couldn't resist counting all the floors!"
"Well, can you take me back down to the seventh floor?"
"Of course!" replied Count. 'Starting at ten, and going down! Ten floors, nine floors, eight floors, seven floors…
But once again, Count passed the seventh floor!
"No Count!" said Kermit. "Stop this elevator!"
"Six floors, five floors, four floors, three floors, two floors, one floor! I love it!"
As the elevator arrived on the first floor, Count carried Kermit out. Kermit was very angry.
"But Kermit, you are angry." said Count,
"I am angry!" snapped Kermit.
"Why?" asked Count.
"Because, you were supposed to stop at the SEVENTH FLOOR! That's what elevator operators do! They take people to whatever floor they want too, not count all the floors!"
"I see!" said Count. "That shouldn't be a problem. I know a way that I can count all the floors, and you can get to the seventh floor."
"How?" asked Kermit.
"You can hop up the stairs, and I'll take the elevator! Bye!"
"The stairs? In my trench coat?" thought Kermit, as Count closed the elevator doors.
And so Kermit was forced to hop up seven flights of stairs.
