SCENE 2 Oscar says that Worm-O has arrived, but when the alleged worm clown appears, Slimey and his friends get suspicious. Oscar compares his worm clown to a poster of Worm-O, and Slimey points out how the fake Worm-O is lacking the real one's red nose (not to mention that he doesn't wiggle like a worm). Oscar reveals that he had Savion dress his finger up as Worm-O the Happy Clown since the real one is still late. When the real Worm-O arrives, he speeds on through in his tiny car and ends up going in the wrong direction, and Oscar has the kids chase after him.
