Big Bird then overhears Snuffy. When he finds that Snuffy's too busy talking to Oscar, Big Bird leaves in a huff. Meanwhile, Oscar has Snuffy and Alice listen to Grundgetta and her rock group sing a loud lullaby on the radio. Snuffy dislikes it, prefering quiet lullabies. Alice, however, enjoys the song, dancing and repeating "loud, loud, loud" much to Oscar's annoyance.

Oscar wishes he had Big Bird's problem, claiming no matter how grouchy he is, people always hang around his trashcan. Big Bird then gets the idea to pretend to be a grouch; and attempts to convince Oscar to pretend to be nice, to which he flatly refuses. Big Bird first tries his grouchiness on Hiroshi, saying "go away" and "scram" like Oscar. Hiroshi is shocked with Big Bird's apparent change of behavior.

Maria says that they've brought someone else Big Bird might like to talk to, but he tells whoever's there to "beat it." That someone happens to be Snuffy, who dejectedly walks away, thinking his friend doesn't want to see him again. Big Bird starts to regret being grouchy, woefully sighing "Oh dear" as Snuffy does.
