SCENE 1 | Big Bird enters the Fix-It Shop and wishes to play with Luis. ("I woke up this morning and something just told me... 'Luis,'" he states.) Luis, however, is busy fixing a VCR and Maria offers to play. Big Bird claims it won't be the same, pointing out how they're different. Maria says they're alike in that they like to fix things, and allows Big Bird to help her work on a flashlight while he waits for Luis. |
