SCENE 1 | Maria comes out of 123 Sesame Street carrying a paper bag of trash, but the bag rips apart so Maria goes back inside to get a broom and dustpan. Oscar delights in seeing the spilled trash in front of his can, and decides to add to it with one of his own tin cans. David sees the trash and catches Oscar red-handed, believing him to be responsible for littering the street. Oscar says Maria did it, not him, but David doesn't believe him and continues to scold Oscar and demands he clean up his mess. Finally, Maria returns and explains to David what happened. David apologizes to Oscar and offers to make it up to him; Oscar wants to see him get angry again. |
