SCENE 1 | In the early hours of the morning, Mr. Hooper groggily opens Hooper's Store for the day; Bob and Count von Count are also in rotten moods as they join him for some coffee. They all didn't get much sleep last night, which leaves them tired and irritable. Big Bird bounds into the store in a jolly mood to order some birdseed. He earns some nasty stares from everyone and thinks they're mad at him. They explain why they're not feeling their best and Big Bird takes his birdseed and leaves them alone for now. As he heads back to his nest, he sees Gordon coming out of 123 Sesame Street. He makes sure Gordon slept well and doesn't have a headache so he can loudly wish him a good morning. | |
