	SCENE 2	Maria checks in on Big Bird, who still isn't sure why he's in time out. She has him imagine their encounter from before, only with the roles reversed. Big Bird imagines trying to repair a toaster, when Maria and Radar distract him from his work. In reality, Big Bird realizes his error and apologizes. Maria forgives him and promises they can play when she finishes work. But, what will Big Bird do until then?

The Count counts them anyway, then leaves to count the bricks that make up the Empire State Building.

	SCENE 4	The Amazing Mumford poofs into the nest on his way to Key West. He asks Big Bird if he wants to see his disappearing chair trick, but first, Big Bird imagines the outcome.
