	SCENE 1	Bob comes across Oscar's trash can, which has now been converted into an ice creamery. Oscar advertises his nine different flavors, all beginning with the letter S - Salami, Salmon Salad, Sardine, Sauerkraut, Sausage, Scallion, Sour Cream, Spaghetti and Spareribs. Bob, despite claiming he wants to support the people in his neighborhood, passes upon hearing the selections.

	SCENE 2	Oscar recruits Grundgetta to help attract customers to the stand. He provides her with a scoop and when someone passes by, she licks the cone and says it's the best she's ever had. However, Grundgetta asks for two more scoops before cooperating. A kid passes by and Grundgetta neglects to say her line, as she doesn't feel the ice cream really is the best she's ever had (believing the spaghetti flavored scoop could use more tomato sauce).
