 |
COLD OPEN | Oscar makes sure the coast is clear before introducing the word of the day - "opposite" - when Rosita and Zoe interrupt. He adds that in honor of the word, he will say the opposite of whatever people tell him. The monsters interpret it as a game, but Oscar tries to say it's not a game... which is the opposite of what they say. |
 |
SCENE 1 | Zoe and Rosita say some words and Oscar says the opposite. Rosita then gets an idea; she asks Oscar what's the opposite of "I hate you," and he replies with the answer: "I love you," which he then realizes was a mistake. In response, Rosita gives Oscar a kiss, which disgusts him and sends Zoe into a laughing fit. |
