Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Mr. Hooper, Gordon and Kate follow a long clothesline that stretches from Hooper's Store to the doors leading to Big Bird's nest area. Big Bird claims it’s his “new invention” which allows him to place orders from Hooper’s without leaving his nest: just attach a message to one of the clothespins, then wheel it to its destination. Big Bird envisions such devices stretching across the world and even to the Moon, but they inform him that he could just use the telephone. His own phone rings, but Big Bird vows to invent something helpful.

 	Muppets 	Waiter Grover: Grover opens a menu, and shows Mr. Johnson a large picture of a specialty sandwich, which comes with potato chips on the side, a pickle on the top, and an olive inserted on a toothpick. When the sandwich arrives, Mr. Johnson complains that it doesn't match the picture on the menu - it doesn't have potato chips, a pickle, or an olive. After Grover finally gets the order right, Mr. Johnson says he doesn't have time to eat it, since his lunch hour is over, and leaves. An exasperated Grover throws a tantrum in the kitchen.

 	Muppets 	Old West: Sinister Sam is looking for the biggest man in the saloon. The frightened customers point him towards Big Barney, who's cowering under the table. When Sam discovers that Barney is the biggest man there, he gives him a hat: "This ol' hat here don't fit me. I thought maybe you could use it, huh? I'll see you, fellers." Sinister Sam leaves the baffled customers behind. "Now, that's a nice gesture," one says. "He's a little weird, but he's okay after all, isn't he?"
 	SCENE 3 	Luis comes back to the Fix-it Shop as Big Bird finishes attaching a box above the door of the entrance. It's his latest invention: whenever someone outside wants Luis to know that they're there, instead of knocking, they can pull on a string to release all the tin cans that noisily fall from the box to the ground. Luis teaches Big Bird that the doorbell serves a much better (and less messy) purpose. Calling himself "Alexander Graham Bird," Big Bird declares to become the world's greatest inventor before the day is done.
