In this episode of Sesame Street, Bob introduces the viewers to a kid named T.J. Unfortunately, T.J. is unable to speak or understand what somebody is saying because he is deaf. This is why Bob is using his hands to communicate. It's called "Sign-Language". Bob teaches Elmo what is Sign-Language. Later: Oscar starts his own junkband (which annoys Bob and Gordon).
