SCENE 1 | Marcia the Measure Maid alerts Luis, Kathy, and Lateef that it's time to measure who lives on Sesame Street. After measuring the kids, Marcia asks if there's anybody else she can measure, and Luis suggests Big Bird and Barkley.

When they get there Marcia gets back up and faints, overwhelmed at the sight of the pair. | |
