SCENE 1 | Maria encounters Oscar the Grouch waiting at the corner bus stop. Every time she asks him if he’s going somewhere or related questions, he answers with his favorite word: "No." When the bus arrives Oscar asks the bus driver (played onscreen by Jerry Nelson) if the bus goes to the moon. Oscar enjoys hearing his response of "No," so much in fact that he plans on asking the next bus driver if they're going to the North Pole. |
