 	SCENE 2 	Luis is about to close up the Fix-It Shop for a few minutes. He tells Big Bird that he's going to the pet shop to buy a little bird to keep around the store than can sing while he works. Big Bird thinks he can fill that role and Luis permits a tryout. Susan comes in with her broken drill, but Big Bird sings so loudly (singing "Ah! Sweet Mystery of Life," "Chloe," and "ABC-DEF-GHI") it drowns out their speaking. Susan leaves, and Luis explains that the kind of bird he had in mind would sit on its swing and chirp and tweet. Big Bird asks for a second chance with this in mind.
