SCENE 1 | Big Bird asks Bob what time it is, but Bob left his watch at home. He then asks a Muppet man (Jerry Nelson) who’s angry (he doesn’t have a watch and is late for an appointment), then a Muppet girl (Fran Brill) who’s sad (because she lost her watch). Bob tries to explain that it's better to ask someone a question when they don't appear to be angry or sad, as they've got other things on their mind. Finally, he encounters Marty, who answers his question because he has a watch. Marty is a bit too happy, saying it's time for singing, dancing, and going to the circus, thus not answering Big Bird's question. It's also time for his favorite thing: the number 6. |
