SCENE 1 | Two Honkers tell Big Bird (who tells Luis) of their dilemma – they have a doctor’s appointment and their egg-sitter never showed up. Luis suggests they take the egg with them, but it could break on the subway. He then suggests that only one parent go, but they both need check-ups. He then gets an idea to have someone else watch the egg. He volunteers Big Bird, who takes the egg back to his nest to sit on. | |
