SCENE 2 Gordon shows Paul, Spencer, and Ruth the drawing one of his students made of his Volkswagen Beetle. Oscar doesn't care for it much, preferring his Grouchmobile. He produces a drawing of it, and Gordon and the kids point out the differences between the two cars: namely, Oscar's car has broken windows, tin cans for headlights, and flat tires. Gordon declares it the junkiest car he's ever seen, which Oscar takes as a compliment. "I never go anywhere in it. You know, when you play all your silly, dopey games here, it's so stupid and boring around here, who'd want to leave? I love it!" says Oscar.
