Episode 2402

Maria watches Irvine while she's taking her nap for Oscar, who had to go the Grouch supermarket. Unfortunately for Maria, the Count woke Irvine up with his counting, and she tried to get her to go back to sleep but failed. Biff and Sully (mainly Biff) told her the story of Cinderella, but that didn't work either. The Two-Headed Monster played her a violin lullaby but that didn't work and they started crying too. Finally, Oscar returned and Maria said "I quit, I give up!". Fortunately, Oscar told Maria there's only one way to get a Grouch baby to go back to sleep. And then, he started yet another argument with Grundgetta, which immediately put Irvine back to sleep. Oscar said Grouch babies love to fall asleep to the sound of a good loud argument. They continued arguing while an exasperated Maria announces the sponsors.
