SCENE 1 | Bob tells the viewer he's going to talk about some of the people who live around the neighborhood when The Mudman approaches him and explains what his job is.
The Mudman approaches Oscar the Grouch and asks him if he's interested in any of his wares. Oscar orders a quart of homogenized mud, a pound of dust, and three broken rocks (the Mudman drops them in Oscar's trash can, chipping his Steinway piano). Finally, the Mudman offers Oscar today's special: a load of really icky glop. Oscar orders a pound and waits while the Mudman retrieves it in his truck. |
