| Clifford
|
Hey, Kerm. How’s Digit?
|
| Kermit
|
Oh, well, he’s still in bad shape, but Lindbergh is giving him first aid.
|
| Clifford
|
Wait a minute. Lindbergh is a TV repairman, a pipefitter, and a sheet metal worker.
|
| Kermit
|
The perfect man to give Digit first aid!
|
| Clifford
|
Heh heh. I see what you mean!
|
| Kermit
|
Yep.
|
| Clifford
|
Hey, whatcha doin’?
|
| Kermit
|
Oh, I thought I would check and see what was on the Heavy Culture Channel.
|
| Clifford
|
Hea-vy. Too heavy for me.

[ A battlefield. A group of soldiers from various eras stand around awkwardly. ]

And now, a dramatisation of Count Leo Tolstoy’s classic novel, War and Peace. This week, Part One: War.
|
|
|
[ The soldiers immediately start hitting each other with clubs. ]
|
|
|
[ After a few moments of violence, the soldiers all stop. They stand around, breathing heavily. ]

Tune in next week for Part Two: Peace.

[ Back to the studio. Lindbergh pushes a babbling Digit into the control room. Digit tips onto Kermit, who rights him. ]

… Today’s show is brought to you by the letter Friday — Joe Friday, with more precipitation Saturday morning. And you are no Jack Kennedy.

| Lindy
|
I don’t seem to be able to fix him.
|
| Louie
|
Are you a doctor?
|
| Lindy
|
Well, I’m an expert in first aid and plumbing.
|
| Louie
|
If he dies, can you come in and take a look at my sink?
