	SCENE 1	Susan finds Big Bird packing his toys for a trip and asks where he is going. He says he is going on his honeymoon. She explains that a honeymoon is a special vacation for two people who have just gotten married. Undeterred, he says that since his will be an imaginary one, he can take anybody he wants.
