(Big Bird walks back into room 29)
Bry: Hey, Big Bird! Have you found the egg yet?
Big Bird: No, but we got 2 more clues. It is under something and over something.
Snuffy: Under something and over something? Hmm...that's a tough one, Bird.
Big Bird: Yeah. Well, we got Kyle and the Monsters to help us out.
Bry: Well, that's good. I'd like to help too, but I really need to run to the store real quick. I'll be back though to help out. Good luck! (leaves)
Big Bird: Thanks.
Snuffy: You know, Bird, sometimes in the movies at times like this they call a detective to solve the mystery.
Big Bird: A detective?
Snuffy: Sure! You know, the guy with a funny hat and magnifying glass. He looks for clues and solves the crime.
Big Bird: That's a brilliant idea, Snuffy! (pause) Wait, no, Snuffy! It'll never work!
Snuffy: Why not?
Big Bird: Where are we gonna get a detective?!
Sherlock Hemlock: (pops up) Remember me?
Big Bird: Mr. Hemlock!
Sherlock: That's Sherlock Hemlock, the World's Greatest Detective, if you please! Now, what can I do for you, big chap?
Big Bird: Oh, right. Sorry. Have you seen any big eggs around here?
Sherlock: Indeed I have!
Big Bird: (lights up) You have?!
Sherlock: Of course! "X" happens to be my favorite letter of the alphabet!
(music starts and he sings his song)
"X" marks the spot
"X" marks the crossroads
Two straight lines crossing over in the middle
That's the letter you must see to find the treasure or the clue
Or the x-ray machine that's looking right inside of you
"X" is the letter without which one cannot do.
Big Bird: (trying to get his attention) Umm...But, Mr. Hemlock, sir...?
Sherlock: "X" marks the spot
"X" stands for danger
Two straight lines crossing over in the middle
Saying "Here's the railroad crossing!"
And sometimes it means there's pirates
Or at worse, it means there's poison
And in case these thoughts of "X" are facing you...
"X" stands for "xylaphone" too!!
So, can you give me some more detail about your X? What color is he? What are his hobbies? What is his mother's language of origin?
Snuffy: Oh dear...
Big Bird: No, not "X"...Eggs! We are looking for my Easter egg!
Sherlock: Oh. My apologies. In that case, I am afraid I can't help you. Say, wasn't Easter yesterday?
Big Bird: Yes...
Sherlock: Hmmm....right....well, goodluck and cheerio! (exits out the door)
Big Bird: Yeah, thanks a lot....
