SCENE 1 Gordon and Debo go up to the roof of 123 Sesame Street, where Gordon has rarely been before. The two wade through the junk thrown all over to see the views, including the sidewalk in front of the building. They wave down to everyone, and David and Maria soon join them on the roof. They throw around ideas of how to use the space (such as a pigeon coop or sitting area), ultimately deciding to cultivate a community garden. They start by clearing the litter and call to Oscar the Grouch to collect it, which he enthusiastically agrees to.
