	SCENE 1	Susan has asked Big Bird and Marty to help clean up the kitchen. Big Bird, the bigger of the two, assumes command of the chore. He instructs Marty on where to put various items, which are all the wrong places (such as the sponge in the fridge, the glass in the drawer, and the milk container in the sink). Susan returns just as Marty puts the forks on the stove per Big Bird's orders and sets everything straight. Despite his screw ups, Susan rewards him with a cookie. Big Bird jokingly puts it in his ear first.
