Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Telly tries to abide by Oscar's request to be left alone, but lets Oscar know he's around if he wants anything. Oscar tells Telly he wants him to stay at least three feet away from the can, but Telly doesn't know how to determine that. He further bothers Oscar to ask about this, then to use his measuring tape. Once he's in place, he believes he's moved and lost the spot. He bothers Oscar further asking for some chalk to mark the spot, as well as the tape to remeasure. Telly positions himself on the mark, but finds it boring and again bothers Oscar to ask for a magazine.

 	SCENE 2 	Telly listens in as Bob gives Gordon a flute lesson. Bob thinks Gordon might be fit for an upcoming recital, then heads off to a lesson across town, leaving Gordon a little nervous. Big Bird suspects he may be afraid of performing in front of an audience. Gordon admits this is true, feeling as a beginner, he's not going to be as good as Bob's other students; he may even mess up. Big Bird proposes even more extreme things that good happen, but Gordon shoots those down. He finds that after talking with Big Bird, he feels much more confident about the recital and invites Big Bird to join. Big Bird now starts to worry, having never been to one before. As they talk it out, Telly observes and notes how he often talks to someone when he feels worried too.
