 	SCENE 1 	Maria and David wait for Big Bird on a subway platform, having already missed two trains because of his tardiness. Big Bird finally arrives, unable to find much of his beach accoutrements for their trip. David doesn't see why he'd need such things - they're only going to the Bronx. Maria tells David he'll see when they get there and assures Big Bird that her friend has the things he'll need.

They finally reach the block where Maria's friend Margie lives, pointing to the large greenhouse on her property.
