SCENE 1 | Kelly offers Big Bird some popcorn. He takes just one piece ("I don't want to make a pig of myself.") and decides to save it for later as a snack while watching TV. He realizes he needs to put it in something until then to keep it safe. He places it on the Hooper's Store counter and asks David for a small box, then a smaller one, and finally the smallest one he can find. Once David finds it, he spots the piece of popcorn and pops it into his mouth without questioning where it came from. Big Bird fumes at him and storms off, leaving the confused storekeeper wondering what just happened. |
