Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Oscar asks the viewer if they have any trash, as he's noticed there's a considerable shortage of it for him lately. He's expecting a group of Grouches from Cincinnati to visit, and finds himself in desperate need of trash for games. His situation worsens when both David and Maria refuse to give him cans, bottles, jars, and newspapers that they're taking to the recycling center. Bob, however, has a whole bag of non-recyclable trash, which he showers over a now-contented Oscar.
