The chicken responds that they're not Sir John, making Big Bird think the case is worse than he thought.

SCENE 5 Sir John returns from his nap, still unable to stop pretending to be a chicken (even his dreams were affected). Big Bird realizes the solution: pretend to not be a chicken! Sir John prepares himself and finds himself back to normal. He must leave for Paris to star in a production of Bus Stop (starring as the bus), and Big Bird becomes sad when he's gone. Maria, still in costume, tries to fill in and announces the sponsors to a receptive crowd.
