SCENE 1 | Big Bird presides over the meeting of the "Small People of Sesame Street," which consists of two kids and himself (he's a member because of his age, not his height). He shows Susan a list they've made of all the reasons being big is best, leading to a duet between him and Susan about the differences between big people and small people. Big Bird concedes that being small is a good thing and takes a vote to ensure they stay small "for some time." |
