SCENE 1 | A short Fat Blue Anything Muppet boy (Jerry Nelson) invites the viewer to a game about perspectives. First, we see how things look from his point of view close to the ground, where he only comes up to Luis and Big Bird's knees. Big Bird then takes over the game and the camera focuses on what Big Bird sees from being eight feet tall, towering over Oscar's trash can and waving below to Debo. Big Bird suggests seeing the world from David's middle-sized point of view, but the camera suddenly cuts to a shot looking down at Big Bird. It's revealed that this is how David sees the world as he washes the window above Hooper's Store. |

SCENE 2 | Luis comes into Hooper’s feeling very cloudy-headed after not getting much sleep last night. David gives him some coffee, then steps out briefly and asks Luis to answer the phone. Every time someone calls, Luis (in his drowsy mindset) forgets he’s at Hooper’s and answers as if he were in the Fix-it Shop, telling the callers they have the wrong number. When David finds out about all the “wrong numbers” Luis has been getting he reminds Luis where he is. Luis goes back to the Fix-it Shop to finish his coffee and take a nap. When the shop's phone rings, Luis replies, “Hello, Mr. Hooper’s Store?” |

David offers to cook him anything he wants, which hatches an idea in Oscar's mind. He asks for some scrambled eggs and watches as David cracks three eggs, saving the shells onto a plate. David continues adding more ingredients such as peppers and ham; Oscar doesn't bother to stop him since he already has what he needs. Oscar leaves with the shells, and Luis enters briefly afterward all rejuvenated from his nap. He asks for some scrambled eggs, which David jokes he will prepare very quickly before instantly giving him Oscar's rejected dish. |
