Episode 3100

Picture	Segment 	Description
 	COLD OPEN 	Telly wonders to himself what today's letters and number are. Big Bird appears dressed in glasses, a bowtie, and a button that reads "Answer Bird" - that's the role he's assuming today, and proceeds to answer Telly's question. Telly then asks if he can be Answer Bird's assistant, even though he has a broken arm. Big Bird hires him on the spot, giving Telly the role of making a vocal fanfare to punctuate his statements.
 	SCENE 1 	At Hooper's Store, Grundgetta, a Honker, and some kids wait impatiently for their orders when Telly and Big Bird enter. Big Bird finds that there are no questions that need to be answered, as Gina seems to know the answers to all of them in advance when he poses a few for her. Gina notes how busy she is right now by asking Big Bird and Telly if they are going to order anything. The two don't have an answer to this yet and agree to get back with her later.

 	SCENE 2 	Big Bird and Telly continue to look around for people who have questions. Telly decides to assume the role of both fanfare singer and question-asker, and asks him how his arm in a cast is doing. Big Bird isn't too sure how to answer so he asks Telly a series of questions, only to relay Telly's answers back to him. Telly "learns" that his arm is healing (according to his doctor), it itches sometimes, and it likes to pretend to be an airplane rather than stay still.
