SCENE 1 | Bob comes across Oscar the Grouch's new "Groucheteria," a food service that's great for Grouches but terrible for people. He sees that the sign advertising the grand opening is missing the letter G in "Groucheteria," and Fluffy retrieves the missing letter. Bob attempts to ring the bell for service, but it's broken. "No bell, no service!" Oscar chuckles. |
