COLD OPEN | 10th Season Intro Still |
  |
SCENE 1 | Oscar wakes up at the crack of dawn and sees Barkley scampering about Sesame Street. The Grouch decides to cause some mischief and starts barking, hoping everyone will think it's Barkley and get him in trouble. Somebody tosses an old shoe at Barkley to keep "him" quiet, and Oscar becomes jealous: "What'd they reward him for? I could use that!" He barks some more which attracts Maria outside, still in her bathrobe. Oscar hopes that his plan works this time, but instead Maria fawns over Barkley and believes he's acting up because of the cold air and invites him inside. Oscar is frustrated with how his plan backfired and heads back to bed. |
