Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Rafael welcomes the viewer, and notices that the Mudman had come by and delivered three cases of mud bottles to Oscar's trash can. Rafael wonders what is going on with Oscar as Tom stops by to drop off a barrel of sour pickles, Susan gives him some noisemakers, and David gives him some ropes with dirty rags tied to them. Rafael puts all the clues together, and discovers that Oscar is having a party with all his Grouch friends. Oscar dons a party hat and throws confetti as a discordant version of “You Are My Sunshine” plays.
