Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Gordon approaches Telly Monster, who is dressed in a ragged bird costume and making some bird calls. He explains that he's practicing to be a bird because he wants to go to the new club Hoots the Owl opened up called Birdland. Gordon tells him that the place is just called Birdland and you don't actually have to be a bird to go there, just "sit back, cool out, and let the music move you." Gordon invites Telly to go with him and Susan, but first Telly makes his way to the library to check out a book on how to "sit back, cool out, and let the music move you."

She tells him it's okay if he wants to sit there, so Susan tells him she'll be at another table nearby. Gordon asks who Telly's companion is, but he doesn't know her name. She introduces herself as Juliet, sharing a gaze with Telly. After a pause, she begins to explain why she's wearing a bird suit, but Telly guesses it was for the same reasons he was worried about coming to Birdland. He explains what Gordon had told him earlier, and offers advice on how to "sit back, cool out, and let the music move you." They read the book together which leads to their swaying to the rhythm of the music. At the end of the number, everyone begins applauding. Telly and Juliet are slightly embarrassed by the attention, but say they couldn't have done it without the book.
