 	SCENE 1 	Big Bird stops by Hooper's Store and asks to have David's bottlecap and Olivia's coffee cup lid. He then asks Luis for the bike tire he's about to throw away, as well as the quarter he lent Bob yesterday. Everybody wonders why Big Bird would ask for so many different things and take a careful look at his collection in the yard, which also includes a hat, a paper plate, and the lid of Oscar's trash can. Big Bird reveals they're all part of his circle collection.
