Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Big Bird tells Susan, Gordon and Luis that he is about to leave for a vacation, but Luis notices that his suitcase is empty. (Big Bird: "Whoever heard of going on vacation without a suitcase?") Big Bird says he doesn't need anything but a rest, so they start listing things he may want to pack: his pajamas, his beakbrush (instead of a toothbrush), his bathing suit, his sailboat, and so on. He goes over the list while returning to his nest to get the necessities, forgetting his suitcase. Luis returns it only to find that Big Bird is so tired from planning he's already asleep.

 	Cast 	Part 1: Bob presides over David and Maria's wedding. After the couple says "I do", the minister instructs the groom to place the ring on the bride's finger. David looks confused, so Bob tells him it's the round thing in his pocket. After some searching, David produces a pizza: it's round and it was in his pocket. Bob clarifies that it also has to have a hole in it, so David pulls out an inflated bicycle tube. Bob adds an additional caveat: it has to be much smaller than that. David next finds a doughnut in his pocket, but Bob says it has to be smaller still.

David, very frail now, is convinced he's finally found the ring, but all he's got is a lifebuoy. Maria, also shaking with age, says that she's had it after 73 years and announces she's leaving him. Affording him one more chance, David finds a wedding band on the floor and places it on Maria's finger. Bob announces the couple married just as they all collapse from geriatric fatigue.

Oscar is no longer afraid of thunder, and Luis Leaves. When Mr. Hooper carries some deliveries and notices the incoming rainstorm, Oscar tries to pass the lesson onto him.
