 	SCENE 1 	An out of breath Elmo and Big Bird look for the word OPEN, explaining to Gina that they're playing tag with a sentient version of the word. They notice the new "OPEN" sign on the door of Hooper's Store, realizing it's actually the word they've been chasing. The word (performed by Jim Martin) pulls itself off the door so they can continue their game. Gina wonders aloud if other streets experience this type of zaniness.
