Part 2
A disconsolate Ernie tells Oscar the Grouch that he's lost his Rubber Duckie.
Oscar tries to calm Ernie down and says that he'll buy Ernie another one. Ernie says he can't — Rubber Duckie is special and unique. He tells Oscar that Rubber Duckie is "cute, adorable, sweet, cuddly, and makes a wonderful sound." Oscar tells Ernie that he'll bring him a new one.
In part 2, Oscar comes back with a new Duckie, but this one is different — it's a Grouch duckie.
They realize that they have different ideas of what is cute and ugly. Ernie thanks Oscar for trying to help - and when he sits down, he hears a familiar squeak. He digs through the stuff on the floor, and finds his Rubber Duckie! Ernie and Oscar argue over which of their toys is the cutest.
