SCENE 3 Bob attempts to give Gordon a flute lesson in his apartment, but Big Bird — still handcuffed to Bob — keeps pulling him away to all the things in the room he finds interesting like Bob's football helmet, plant, and bathrobe. They keep wondering where Susan is, but on the street below Susan is still working on her car engine, having to change into her coveralls as the job has become bigger than expected. Back in the apartment, Big Bird thinks it's best to try and cooperate, so he has Gordon take everything that caught his interest and has him either put them on Bob or around him.
