SCENE 1 | Gordon plays some football with Oscar, Bruno and the Grouchketeers. Oscar naturally throws the ball too far and too deep, when it lands into a nearby, vacant lot filled with trash and litter. Two pigeons, Aubrey and Louise, see the ball, which Louise believes to be a football-sized peanut. Gordon keeps the kids from going behind the fence, pointing toward the danger sign and goes in himself. Oscar lectures the kids about danger as Gordon stumbles around and crashes trying to get the ball back. Once he emerges, he intends to call the city and have them do something about the dangerous, messy lot. Oscar, despite considering the lot for a vacation spot, volunteers to make the call, since Grouches are good at complaining. Gordon doesn't think this is a good idea and rallies the kids to find a phone before Oscar does. Louise thinks it's sort of funny to want to clean up the lot, but not as funny as Audrey falling off the fence. | |
