SCENE 1 | Big Bird gets up early to make sure he's the first one up on Sesame Street. He looks out to see who gets up next by seeing whose apartment lights go on - Bob is first, then Gordon and Susan, followed by Bert and Ernie, Maria, and finally Oscar the Grouch. Big Bird starts feeling the effects of getting up too early and becomes the first one to go back to sleep. |

Luis undoes his appearance, while Maria now thinks she, as his partner, should look more presentable. She darts off into the back room and reemerges in a gown, earrings and a tiara. "Do you think the tiara's too much?" she asks, checking herself in the mirror. |

SCENE 3 | Gordon drops by Oscar's trash can to use his Olympic-sized swimming pool, reminding the Grouch that he promised Gordon could use it "anytime." "You must have caught me in a weak moment," Oscar says. He details many poor conditions in the pool to keep Gordon out, including the unheated temperature, his man-tickling clam, and a giant rock in the pool. Gordon accounts for all of these by wearing a full-body wetsuit for warmth, flippers to outswim the clam, and a football helmet to prevent banging into the rock. Oscar drops one final issue - it's ladies only day for his pool. Gordon goes back home, while Susan, Olivia, and Maria, all dressed as Gordon is, begin to pile into the can, to Oscar's chagrin. |
