SCENE 1 | Gordon and Gabi are helping Miles film a video project for school about where he lives. They've planned for everything: Gordon runs the camera, and Gabi holds the cue cards of Miles' speech. They go through a rehearsal first, which goes flawlessly. When they go for the first "take", though, Big Bird, Richie, Cassia, and Morgan walk right in front of the camera. Miles suggests that having them in the video might be helpful since they're his neighbors, and Gordon situates them with Miles on the stoop of 123 Sesame Street. |
