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.

SCENE 2 Maria insists David go home and sleep believing that Mr. Hooper would understand, but David insists on keeping his promise. He does take Big Bird up on his idea to turn his lunch hour into a "nap hour" while the bird watches the store (though Maria reassures David she'll keep an eye on him). Big Bird almost does noisy things like hammering up some posters or vacuuming the floor, but Maria quickly prevents him from doing so. Maria loudly panics when she sees Big Bird carrying a stack of ten egg cartons, which wakes up an annoyed David. "Since when, Maria, do you have to worry about a bird carrying eggs, huh?" asks Big Bird.
