EPISODE 3120


 * Savion, Mr. Hanford, Maria, Tara and Gabi are at Hooper’s Store. Maria welcomes the viewers and announces that Oscar will be on "Sally Messy Yuckayell". Mr. Hanford turns on the TV and the show is on. Today’s topic: “Grouch who got involved with cute kitten”


 * Sally remarks that she’d make an entire show of the thme, but goes oon about today’s headline, which disgusts the audience. Sally asks him how it happened, and Oscar tells her with a flashback shown: One day he was on his way to the dump but then finds a kitten sitting on the crate. He tries to make it go away (by saying “Wubba Wubba”) but it won’t. Back in the studio, Sally asks him what he then did, to which he admits that he gave her some milk.

Oscar adds that he thought that was the reason why she was hanging around there, and if he gave her some, she’d go away. Sally gets him to admit that he thought wrong, which he agrees. In the flashback, he gives her the bowl of milk and tries to make her get lost again, but it then occurs to him that maybe she WAS lost. In the studio, Sally convinces him that he never should have done that, to which the crowd agrees. Even Oscar feels horrible about it, and admits that the story gets yuckier later. Sally announces that they will return after commercial break.


 * Back in the studio, Sally asks Oscar if he finds a kitten that was “cute as a button”, what does he do. He answers that he screams, and knowing that he had to find the kitten’s owner so that he can be away from her, he made a sign he put all over Sesame Street. Sally remarks that it was the “smartest” thing to do. On the street, Oscar puts the sign on his can and sees Maria and Gabi walking by. They noticed his signs and Oscar thinks that maybe the cat is hers, and that she and Gabi can have it. But it isn’t and they just want to pet it. Savion approaches and says he saw the sign too. Maybe the kitten is his, thinks Oscar, but it isn’t because he only came to bring her a toy to play with. This only disgusts Oscar more, and Sally as well because she adds, not only was he around a cute kitten, but also some “nice” people. Sally hoped that he took down the signs, but Oscar said he couldn’t because then he wouldn’t find the kitten’s owner, and he’d be stuck with her.


 * Sally asks Oscar what happened next, but he refuses to answer because it’s “too yucky”. Sally disagrees because nothing is too yucky and makes him answer. Oscar explains that the kitten got inside his can. The crowd gets disgusted again, especially Grundgetta. He then says that she was chasing a ball of yarn in there. On the street, Maria is sitting on the stoop of 123 Sesame Street reading a newspaper and hears the kitten running around in the can. She goes over and sees Oscar coming up, tangled up in yarn. The kitten then gets yarn all over Fluffy. Maria thinks that maybe it seems that he’s starting to enjoy being with the kitten, to which he then admits and the crowd murmurs “boos”. Oscar then gets dragged into the can crashing into several things, and he’s starting to have fun.

Sally gets grossed out again because he “liked” having the kitten in his can, and so does the crowd. Oscar admits that he couldn’t help himself because the kitten was making a great big mess down there. Sally thinks that this is the worst kind of kitten loving she’s ever heard, and convinces everyone to help him out, but they refuse. Oscar begs her to do so, and she agrees to, but after another commercial break.


 * Sally asks Oscar if he ever found out who the kitten belonged to. He answers that it happened when he was playing with the kitten, which causes Sally to stop him there and gets disgusted again. Oscar adds that even he knows it’s horrible, but she doesn’t have to rub it in. Back on the street, Oscar and the kitten, who is then named Bruiser, play with the toy mouse. Maria walks by and notices. Oscar adds that he wouldn’t give her a “cute” name like “mitten” or “whiskers”. Maria says that she hopes that someone will show up to pick up Bruiser, and Oscar agrees too because he hates it and he’s having a horrible time.

A lady approaches and says that she’s found the sign and “Bootsy”, to which Oscar thinks she’s referring him to, but she’s referring to the kitten. The lady picks Bootsy up, but Oscar is reluctant to let her go, and isn’t sure whether or not it actually belongs to her. The lady proves him that its hers with a picture of her. Oscar doesn’t think it can be her because they aren’t the same, but Maria points out that they are the same because they match. Oscar faces the fact and lets her go, and asks the lady to never lose the kitten again because a cute kitten showing up on his doorstep is the last thing he ever needs. Bootsy and her owner leave, but Oscar sees that she forgot her mouse. He tries to get them to come back. Oscar is then sad because the kitten is now gone.

Oscar then admits that he missed the kitten, much to everyone else’s dismay. Sally now thinks that not only is it yucky, but also disgusting and runs off the stage. Oscar begs her to come back so that she can help him.

Sally comes back with a cure for Oscar. She brings him another kitten, which he disgusts over. He now feels angry but Sally did it so that he can get his mind out of Bootsy. However, her idea worked. Everyone turns off the TV and they discuss the program, and how Sally is beyond grouchy. Maria announces the episode’s sponsors.
