SCENE 1 | At the movie theater, Olivia, Gordon, Susan and Mr. Hooper don’t see Mr. Snuffleupagus, but they hear the noises he makes when he sits down behind them. Big Bird tries to point them to him, but they refuse to turn around. Snuffy eats Gordon’s popcorn, but Gordon blames Big Bird and makes him go buy more popcorn for them. Snuffy then trembles at a scary part of the movie, and the auditorium trembles as a result. The movie ends, and the patrons mistake Snuffy’s snuffle for a discarded scarf. They all leave, still managing not to notice Snuffy, who stays behind with Big Bird to watch a cartoon... |
