COLD OPEN | 10th Season Intro Still |
   |
SCENE 1 | Big Bird clotheslines into his doorframe for the umpteenth time as he exits his nest area. He attributes this to his height, and starts wondering what it would be like to be as small as the viewer. He crouches down and the view shifts to his first person point of view as he travels down the block. He encounters a giant Barkley, Bob, and Maria, though he wishes he could meet someone at his current height level. He bumps into Cody (with Buffy and Sheldon) and is glad to find a friend his size, but finds his back hurts from all the crouching: "I'm a little too tall to be so short." |
