SCENE 1 | Buffy greets Luis, Biff, and Sully at the Fix-it Shop, telling them she needs a place to stay since the hotel where she normally stays when she visits Sesame Street is all booked up. Biff offers to build her a place from scratch, but she can’t wait for the construction as she needs it by tonight. Bob and Susan don’t know where she could stay, but Maria has an extra bedroom that she’s not using. The room only has a bed and nothing else, but Buffy doesn't mind as she has all she needs in her backpack. Buffy leaves with Maria while Luis suggests that he, Biff and Sully can find some odds and ends to spruce the room up. | |
