Cookie Monster(Abbott) : Ok Hulk, me going with you to New York. Yankee manager give me job as coach while you on team.

Hulk(Costello) : Hey fuzzy blue puppet thing, if you coach, you must know players, right?

CM : Yeah, me do, yeah, yeah.

CM : You got cookie? Me tell you for cookie.

Hulk stomps off in a frenzy destroying all in his way

CM : That man need cookie.

I wish I had the means and ability to do an animated version of this and put it online. Oh well, maybe one day.

It’s good, but it has to end with a smashed Cookie Monster.

That thought crossed my mind when I wrote it, buy I decided to keep Hulk tame somewhat to better mirror Costello’s bumbling building anger.
