SCENE 1 | Big Bird sits in front of a closed Hooper's Store, explaining that he wants to have breakfast but he doesn't have any birdseed. David comes to open up Hooper's, but unfortunately he can't find his keys. He then remembers that Luis has a spare key, so Big Bird goes to the Fix-It Shop to get it for him. | |
SCENE 1, cont'd | Big Bird tells Luis about his problem and asks for the spare key. Luis realizes that the box the key is kept in has a lock on it, and Maria's the only one who has a key to unlock it. Maria then comes in and Big Bird asks for her keys (which she jokingly misinterprets as what he wants for breakfast). Luis unlocks the box to give Big Bird the spare key. | |
SCENE 1, cont'd | After David opens the store, he says that the birdseed is in the basement and that he needs a key to open the basement door. David shows that he was only joking, but Big Bird is unamused until he finally gets a taste of birdseed. | |
