SCENE 4 When Gordon cuts through Big Bird's nest area, Big Bird (engrossed in his book) calls him "Luis" and immediately identifies his mistake. He finds it funny how things wound up with the names they have, and supposes that some things could have been named any number of words. For example, Big Bird's mom could have called him Sweet Patootie, a nest could be called a dumdeedingle, and books could be called tomatoes. When Maria enters and offers some apples Gordon takes one, but posits that "Sweet Patootie's" going to sit in his "dumdeedingle" and read his "tomato."

SCENE 5 Oscar the Grouch is mulling over some papers as he works on a contraption near his trash can when Luis and Gordon stop by.
