SCENE 1 cont'd Elmo finds Rudy in the garden playing "airport" with two toy planes. Elmo asks if he could share one, but Rudy declines, claiming he needs both for his game. Abby, Tamir, and Baby Bear catch up to insist Rudy share, and Rudy quickly finds himself trembling and breathing heavily. After Rudy sings the "Very Big Feeling" jingle, his friends help him realize he feels angry. Baby Bear relates, sharing that he gets angry whenever Goldilocks wants to share. However, to calm himself down, he gives his glitter jar a good shake and takes a slow deep breath. Baby Bear offers his jar to Rudy, and Rudy shakes it as Abby sings to the tune of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star." Rudy admits he feels better, so Abby jumps on the opportunity to ask for one of Rudy's planes again. Rudy says no and leaves. They get ready to make their plane-less traffic jam movie, but Tamir has the idea to instead make a movie to show Rudy how fun sharing can be...

SCENE 1 cont'd Tamir's voiceover introduces the next scene, declaring that something strange and unusual is imminent. The bear plays with a toy plane all by himself, while four kids (Elmo, Abby, Ji-Young, and Gabrielle) are seen having fun together; they even simultaneously chant "We're having fun together!" The bear's toy plane comes to life and points out that the four kids have more toys to play with. The bear still refuses to share, so the plane adds that sharing allows kids to find new ways to play. The bear still refuses, even after the plane points out that the kids have more friends to play with. (Baby Bear puts the living plane away in a box, but the plane keeps impromptu rambling from inside the box.) Two of the kids (Elmo and Abby) go up to the bear and ask him to share his toy plane. The kids promise that if the bear shares, he'll have more, not less, and that he could still play with all of his toys. The unfinished movie cuts off before the bear gives his answer.

SCENE 1 cont'd The team claims that they haven't figured out how to end the movie, but it quickly becomes obvious they want Rudy to realize something. He does, realizing that sharing does sound fun, and that you get even more toys to play with and more ways to play. Rudy suggests that Baby Bear share at the end of the movie. Abby asks if Rudy wants to play with them in the city they built for the movie, and Rudy agrees, even offering to share his planes.
