 |
COLD OPEN | At Hooper's Store, Big Bird tells the viewer he'll be playing with Joey and Davey Monkey today... only he has trouble trying to tell which is which. |
 |
SCENE 1 | Big Bird doesn't think he can play with the monkeys because of how similar they look, pointing out how they have the same ears, curly tails, and long limbs. Gina can tell them apart by their preferred drinks: Joey likes juice and Davey likes milk. Once the monkeys down their beverages, however, Big Bird is back to where he started and can't tell who is who, so Davey and Joey leave to come up with a plan. |

SCENE 2 | Davey and Joey show Big Bird some necklaces they have - a J for Joey and a D for Davey, which will help Big Bird know their names. Big Bird thinks he won't be able to see them from far away, so they produce even bigger letters on their necklaces. They've planned ahead further by getting very large letters, which are much more visible (and much more heavy). The monkeys decide to come up with a different scheme after collapsing from the weight. |

They try the song again on themselves, thinking the song itself will help Big Bird identify the differences. Big Bird and the lamb (Alice Dinnean) still can't tell the difference, so Big Bird decides to find a way to tell the monkeys apart himself. |
