SCENE 1 Luis is about to close up the Fix-It Shop for a few minutes. He tells Big Bird that he's going to the pet shop to buy a little bird to keep around the store than can sing while he works. Big Bird thinks he can fill that role and Luis permits a tryout. Susan comes in with her broken drill, but Big Bird sings so loudly (singing "Ah! Sweet Mystery of Life," "Chloe," and "ABC-DEF-GHI") it drowns out their speaking. Susan leaves, and Luis explains that the kind of bird he had in mind would sit on its swing and chirp and tweet. Big Bird asks for a second chance with this in mind.

Lefty forgets the number, and has to be hinted from his boss what the number of knocks are to gain access, finally giving the correct amount. When they let him in, the boss reprimands him for his poor memory, and warns him that he'll be in big trouble if he forgets again. To test his memory, the boss and Benny lock themselves out, telling him not to let them in until they give the secret knock. Despite the boss' warning, Lefty forgets once again, and finally having enough, he fearfully runs out the back door, leaving the other two stranded outside yelling, "Let us in!" as they angrily pound on the door trying to get in.
