 	SCENE 1 	Oscar goes to Hooper's Store and demands a glass of orange juice from Mr. Hooper, who refuses to serve it to him until he says "please." Oscar claims that as a Grouch he shouldn't be so nice: "Why, I'd be laughed right out of the Grouch Lodge!" Susan and Gordon come in and politely ask for some orange juice, and Hooper serves them. Oscar points out that he never asks other people to do non-Grouch things, thus Mr. Hooper shouldn't do the same of him. Mr. Hooper concedes to Oscar's point and serves him, but finds that he's run out of orange juice. Mr. Hooper apologizes, and Oscar criticizes him for his kindness.

He considers letting Gordon do it as it might be a complicated task, but Big Bird believes he can do it.

 	SCENE 3 	It's starting to get dark and Big Bird remembers that he needs to lock up the store. He does so, securing the window and both doors before realizing that he left the lights on inside. Gordon offers to help, but Big Bird is adamant at proving he can do it himself, and resents it when Gordon tries to help him a little by telling him which way to turn the key. Once Big Bird gets inside and turns off the lights, he quickly realizes that he locked the front door upon entering. He still insists on solving the issue himself and sends Gordon off. As he turns the lights back on and sits to think of an escape plan, he falls asleep.

 	SCENE 4 	Gordon sees Big Bird asleep and wakes him up to help. He assures Big Bird that even if he receives help in a situation, it doesn't mean he's not smart. Sometimes asking for help can be the smartest solution of all - it's how you learn. Big Bird immediately starts to panic and cry for help, and Gordon tells him how to get out. He leaves Big Bird to lock up properly, sensing he has a better idea of how now. Big Bird turns off the lights and locks the door correctly just as Mr. Hooper returns for the key. Big Bird offers to open the store tomorrow, and tells him not to be ashamed of asking for help.
