Oscar hears the plane flying overhead and pulls out a large butterfly net to catch Osvaldo and his luggage; the two fall right through the net and onto the sidewalk, a perfect Grouch landing! | |

Notes[]
- When Oscar's mother began visiting her son in the early '90s, she would most often arrive falling from a plane very much like Osvaldo does during the first scene of this episode (net or no net).
