SCENE 1 | At night, Maria, Olivia, and Bob are getting ready to go home and go to bed. Meanwhile, Oscar the Grouch waits in anticipation (with the viewer) for what happens once they get inside and turn off their lights: the nocturnal jazz musician known as Hoots the Owl starts playing his saxophone and bothering everyone. Of course, Hoots apologizes for waking everyone up and starts playing a soft lullaby, which disappoints Oscar. | |

She didn't lock it, so she goes inside to make sure they haven't been robbed. Just then a fire truck passes by, which wakes up Big Bird. He gets up and notices that the Fix-it Shop is open and the light is on - he knows it's supposed to be closed. He goes over to investigate, and before Hoots can tell him what's going on Big Bird tries to guess what happened. Maybe a big gust of wind opened the door, or maybe some Martians are looking for Maria? He throws his blanket over what he assumes to be a Martian when they exit the shop, but is actually Maria. She gives him his blanket back, and assures him there were no Martians. Once Big Bird gets back to his nest, she wonders again if she locked the Fix-it Shop door... | |
