SCENE 1 | Big Bird checks out Olivia's new photo studio, set up in the top floor of the Carriage house. Inside, she's preparing to take a cover photo for an exercise magazine, with Gordon as her barbell-holding model. As she tries to find the right angle, Big Bird tries to point out how tired and strained Gordon is getting; Olivia doesn't notice. She finally manages to snap the picture and the two effortlessly pass around the barbell. Big Bird remarks, "Sometimes you can't believe what you see." |
