SCENE 1 | Big Bird finds David dozing at the door of Hooper's Store. David explains that he was up late last night studying for a law school exam, but had promised Mr. Hooper to take care of the store the next day. Big Bird offers to help him stay awake by opening the window to get some fresh air (coughing slightly from the smog) and turning on the radio, but neither help. David admits to thinking about being in his warm, cozy bed, which winds up putting himself and Big Bird to sleep. |
