Picture Segment Description

SCENE 1 Early in the morning, Gordon takes the garbage out and suddenly finds himself locked out of 123 Sesame Street. Susan is already at work and he doesn't want to wake Miles with the doorbell, so he tries finding another way in. The front windows are locked so he tiptoes into Big Bird's nest area, where Big Bird is asleep. He tries climbing into the kitchen window using crates as a makeshift staircase; Big Bird wakes up in the process and learns what Gordon is doing. After Gordon makes it in, Susan comes by, having forgotten her keys inside. Big Bird tells her the methods Gordon uses and suggests she do the same.
