Big Bird offers to help but Gordon is reluctant, citing the bird's previous ailment for an upset stomach making him sick for a week; Big Bird tries to come up with a solution anyhow. In an attempt to get some quiet to help him think, Big Bird asks the kids to skate somewhere else and asks Oscar to turn down his rock music. Once it's quiet, Gordon thanks Big Bird for reducing the noise level around him. Big Bird cheers loudly at his success, giving Gordon another headache. |
