 	SCENE 1 	Big Bird is about to address the viewer on a subject, but he can't remember what it is. He tries retracing his steps (which includes cueing the opening music up again) to no avail. He then looks at Gordon, hoping it'll jar his memory, but this method doesn't work either (Big Bird: "I'm afraid my memory banks are overdrawn."). He suddenly realizes he was supposed to talk about remembering...only this thought doesn't last very long in his head.

Olivia and Gordon try to place calls only for Oscar not to patch them through and lose both their dimes. They trace the wires to Oscar's can and give him a piece of their mind. An old lady (Bob Payne) comes by to use the phone, despite Olivia and Gordon's protests. She has no interest in calling anyone, but she wants to talk to the operator since she's often lonely and likes having someone to talk to.
