SCENE 1 Big Bird tells Susan that he's awaiting the arrival of his friends C-3PO and R2-D2, but isn't sure where the bus stop that their bus will arrive at is. Susan shows him the bus stop sign nearby, and soon the next bus pulls up. Big Bird boards the bus and welcomes the two back to Sesame Street. He begins to rattle off all kinds of activities they can do together, but gets so distracted in his excitement he prevents his friends from getting off the bus. The three are soon headed down the block, which Big Bird suggests is another thing they can do while they're in town...
