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.

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.
