SCENE 1 Buffy emerges from Oscar's trash can, complaining about the living conditions she and Cody have to endure there while staying. She needs to run to the store and asks Oscar to get her bag. Oscar refuses since she says "please," something a Grouch should never have to hear. Buffy admits she dislikes it when Oscar yells just as much as he hates the P-word. She strikes a deal with him: she agrees not to say "please" as much and be grouchy sometimes, as long as Oscar keeps down the noise and says "please" once himself. "I think this is the start of a beautiful relationship," Oscar says when he and Buffy begin to argue over whether being nice or grouchy is easier.

SCENE 3 Oscar stops by Hooper's Store to do some grocery shopping. He hands David the list of items, which includes such tasty things like candied clams and peas in chocolate sauce. With each item David doesn't have in stock, he crosses them out on the list. Since David has nothing to sell him, Oscar has him cross out the whole list afterwards. He then celebrates another successful shopping trip; although he didn't buy anything, he does get a nice piece of trash to take home - the marked-out list. "Another piece of trash, and I didn't have to spend a penny!"
