SCENE 1 | Gordon welcomes the viewer and announces that T is the letter of the day. He notices a T on Oscar's trash can and inquires about why it's there. He guesses that T is for trash, terrible, and temper tantrum, but Oscar says it's to remind people to stay away from him. He points Gordon to a note on a scroll which begins with a letter T, which is for “time” –– as in “Time after time I have told you not to bother me!” The scroll continues as it takes Gordon far off into Big Bird's nest area. |
