Picture	Segment	Description
	SCENE 1	Oscar the Grouch tells Biff to knock off the racket he's making with his jackhammer in front of his trash can. Biff goes on a rant about how he and Sully hear complaints like that all the time, but he's a city worker who must repair the street, noise or not. He pontificates so much about his problems that Oscar begs for him to drill rather than talk.

	Muppets	Marshal Grover tries mounting Fred the Wonder Horse using a "run and jump" technique. But every time he gets close, Fred moves away from him, causing onlookers in the saloon to laugh at them. Fred finally explains that he doesn't appreciate the act, as it hurts his back. Grover promises never to run and jump onto his back again, and asks him to roll over so he may do so on his belly. (First: Episode 0825)
	SCENE 2 cont'd	David, Susan, and Luis finish getting Oscar's loveseat out, putting it with the rest of the furniture.

Oscar tells everyone to put his stuff back, but David gets wise to his trick of just wanting to rearrange his furniture. They abandon Oscar, who suggests Slimey start moving things.
