 	SCENE 2 	Snuffy is excited because he'll be having two birthday parties today: one in the afternoon with all his friends, then one at night with his Snuffleupagus family. He tells Big Bird something he'd like for his friends' party: a performance by the Great Nineteeni, Big Bird's magician alter ego.

 	SCENE 3 	Miles, Gabi, Tarah, and Lexine tell Snuffy about all the fun things they'll be doing at the party, like a "Pin the Tail on the Dinosaur" game and dancing to some party music. Snuffy informs Big Bird, now in his Great Nineteeni outfit, that he can't participate in any of them because of his status of entertainer. Big Bird tries to convince Snuffy that it might be better if he just came as himself so he can join in the fun, but Snuffy gets upset at the idea as he really loves the Great Nineteeni. Big Bird leaves in a huff, telling a confused Snuffy he won't be attending the party at all.

 	SCENE 5 	The party begins at the playground in the park, with everybody blowing party horns and noisemakers and tossing streamers. Snuffy, though, can't get into the mood as he feels guilty over his situation with Big Bird. The grown-ups assure him everything will be fine given how good friends he and Big Bird are. Sure enough, Big Bird arrives for the party! Snuffy apologizes for how he acted before ("It was all a nutty misunderstanding - nutty, but painful.") and the two make up.

 	SCENE 6 	Snuffy awaits the arrival of the Great Nineteeni when Gabi, Ruthie, and Celina give a dramatic introduction as Big Bird enters to perform a special trick with the birthday boy. Snuffy requests he do his favorite trick: having him guess the number Nineteeni is thinking of. The Great Nineteeni waves his 19 flag and encourages everyone to chant "19," but Snuffy instead thinks of the number 6. As the stunned party crowd disperses, Snuffy confides again to Big Bird that the best part about the Great Nineteeni being at his party is his best friend being there.
