SCENE 2 Maria gives David one of her super-duper mellow-yellow backrubs after he finishes lugging some heavy crates for the trash. Oscar is disgusted by their interaction; he hates being touched, and wonders why anybody would do such a thing. David tells him to imagine what would happen if nobody touched anyone else. In a fantasy cutaway, Big Bird gives a present to a kid, who almost thanks him with a kiss. In the yard, several kids almost play leapfrog. Maria and Gordon almost slap a high-five before just walking away. Oscar says he'd prefer things that way, but then tries to scratch an itch on his back with no success. Maria helps scratch Oscar's back (which even makes him purr), but Oscar yells for Maria to keep her mitts off of him.
