SCENE 1 | Bob and Linda watch as Barkley plays with his favorite ball, which is all chewed up given how much Barkley loves it. Bob accidentally tosses it over the doors to Big Bird's nest, where another dog (David Rudman) grabs it and leaves before Barkley gets there. Barkley begins moping to his owner, and they go to try finding the ball. | |
