Episode 2779

Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Bob informs the viewer that Uncle Wally, currently carrying a large load of items, will show how to count to 40. He points out to Wally that he doesn't have 40 items, but Uncle Wally states they're part of his plan to get Oscar to do it instead. He hangs around the trash can and sets out a small picnic on a table when Oscar tells him to beat it, giving him the count of 10 to leave. Uncle Wally reasons that won't be enough time, so Oscar eventually agrees to give a count of 40 to collect his many things and leave. Bob and Uncle Wally slap a high-five for a trick well done before going.
