SCENE 1 Oscar is unenthused by the way building superintendent Winnie Wiggins has been keeping 123 Sesame Street in tip-top shape. Thus, he has a bouquet of nice flowers he intends to give her, thinking such a kind act will persuade her to grant him a favor - namely, to stop fixing things and let the building fall into disrepair. She accepts the flowers, but angrily refuses to do anything Oscar requests of her. She forces the flowers back on him, but he insists she keep them for yelling at him the way she did.

He put the milk in the soda bottle, the soda into the fishbowl, and the fish in Bert's cowboy hat. Bert asks, "Now what am I going to wear when I want to play cowboy?"

SCENE 4 The adults see a large truck taking up much of the sidewalk in front of 123. Biff and Sully are responsible, as they were making a delivery to Mrs. Wiggins and wanted to limit the distance they need to move. They agree to move the truck, as the others make sure they don't knock over the mailbox again. They manage to avoid doing so, but instead knock over the tree on the block. This upsets Big Bird the most, citing that the tree is where he and his bird friends always got together. ("My social life is ruined!" he cries) As the adults argue with the hardhats, Biff announces the sponsors.
The story of the lost tree continues in Episode 0943.
