	SCENE 1 cont'd	Big Bird tells Snuffy about voting and brings him back to the voting area (just as Olivia is leaving). There, they find David in his booth and refuses to come out (as he's voting); though he angrily explains why Big Bird can't vote yet. Snuffy heads home to remind his mommy to vote, and David finally emerges. He adds one more rule for voting - you must be real (putting Snuffy out of the running).
