*"[[One Way]]": A greaser can't get to his girlfriend's house because of a "One Way" sign on the road. He thinks his relationship is ruined, until his guardian angel comes and shows him an alternate route he can take. The greaser's initial desperation -- "I'm so lonely I wish I was dead", he mourns -- turns to happiness, as the greaser and his girlfriend ride around the block on his motorcycle.

Mr. Hooper accepts and, of the three cans he's focusing on, chooses the biggest one. Oscar claims victory in fooling him, and points out that the biggest can is the trash can all three of them are on top of. Mr. Hooper says that's fine, he was going to leave his trash here anyway.
