SCENE 5 Big Bird stops by Hooper's Store and asks if he can come with David and Maria to the movies, but they say the late movie he wants to see will be past his bedtime. He then asks Mr. Hooper for a birdseed cupcake, but Mr. Hooper doesn't want to give him one before his dinner (since he’s only a kid). Gordon, on the other hand, is having an early dinner because he’s taking his car to the shop to get fixed. Big Bird wants to drive along, but he can’t come along since he’s not old enough to drive. Big Bird leaves and goes to play jumprope with some kids instead, but all of the grown-ups are too busy to join in his game. Seeing how none of the grown-ups have the time to play, Big Bird is happy that he's a kid.
