Picture	Segment 	Description
 	COLD OPEN 	Telly calls Gordon for help: a pigeon is trying to eat a sign he made for the vacant lot. Oscar overhears and is interested, then calls for Bruno.
 	SCENE 1 	The gang makes it to the lot where they meet its residents, Audrey and Louise, the Pigeon Sisters; Oscar takes an instant liking to them. Louise has a big appetite and continues pecking at the sign, mistaking it for a cracker. Audrey helps her read it - "Help Clean Up the Lot - 11:00 Today." Louise gets excited at the idea that the people coming may bring lots of food, but goes back to pecking at the sign when Gordon suggests otherwise.
