SCENE 1 | At the Fix-it Shop, Big Bird asks Luis what someone would need if they went swimming, then asks how a swimming pool would be built as there doesn't seem to be one on Sesame Street. Luis goes through the process for him, and Big Bird asks for a shovel since the first part involves digging a big hole. "... He wouldn't, would he?" Luis asks the viewer, questioning if Big Bird would try digging through the cement. Big Bird returns with a dented shovel, confirming he would. | |
