 	SCENE 4 	For today's Ask Oscar, Olivia is the announcer, while Telly fills in for Oscar, struggling to effectively act grouchy. He answers a viewer letter about a “wet paint” sign on a wall, figuring a Grouch would want to touch it and get it on their fur, as well as mess up the wall. He immediately regrets giving such bad advice (being a non-Grouch himself) and gets a phone call from an angry viewer, demanding Oscar's return to the program.

Grundgetta says they have set up an informant hotline to find Oscar, and they soon get a call from...Oscar! He says he's always telling everyone to get lost, so he decided to try it himself today. Before hanging up, Oscar announces the sponsors, and the credits follow. After the credits, Oscar mentions he's hiding out at the Children's Television Workshop and begins working on a television of his own.
