0753a
SCENE 1 Biff and Sully thank Gordon for letting them have their old piano so they can have a hot time in the old lodge hall. Gordon believes that the piano is too big for the two of them to carry to their truck and offers to help. Biff claims that they are used to such jobs, saying that a teacher such as Gordon won't be much help with being a "picker-upper" as he and Sully will be. After Gordon leaves, Biff admits to Sully that he'll need some help in lifting the piano and leaves to get some assistance.

SCENE 2 Herry Monster stops by, and offers to help Sully with the piano. He begins to move the piano single-handedly before trying to move a "No Parking" saw horse sign in the way, accidentally chopping the sign in two. Herry then realizes he has to carry the heavy piano to the truck; instead, he grabs the back of the truck and pulls it closer to the piano! As Sully continues watching in disbelief, Herry slides the piano into the back, then leaves since he's late for his knitting class. Sully is left speechless... more than usual.

SCENE 2

Biff comes back, saying he couldn't get a hold of anybody else from work to help. He sees that the piano is loaded on the truck, and wonders how it happened. As Sully stands slack-jawed, Biff jokingly assumes that a big blue monster came and helped Sully load it on. Sully nods in agreement, but Biff suggests he tell his tall tale to the guys at the lodge.

SCENE 4 Susan and Gordon hear a vacuum cleaner being used by Big Bird behind the construction doors. Big Bird tells him that it's not a vacuum; it's his friend Mr. Snuffleupagus, who is busy cleaning the feathers out of his nest. The others are skeptical, believing that the sound they hear is from a real vacuum cleaner and not his "imaginary" friend. Meanwhile, Snuffy has finished vacuuming but the feathers stuffed in his snuffle cause him to sneeze, blowing dust and feathers all over the place, knocking one of the construction doors down, and has Susan and Gordon ducking for cover. The couple rushes over to Big Bird wanting to know what caused the blast, but given what they said before he refuses to let them in, instead comforting the recovering Snuffleupagus.
