Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	David observes a chalk line drawn on the sidewalk around Oscar's trash can. Several signs surround the can ordering pedestrians not to cross the line and not to disturb Oscar. David breaks the rules to find out what the deal is, and Oscar refuses to tell him. Given the clues, David deduces that Oscar wishes to be left alone so he can watch a sport on TV in peace. Oscar confirms his guess, telling him that he's going to watch the big trashball game featuring the Grumptown Grouches and the Junkville Growlers in the Mud Bowl, the biggest Grouch game of the century.

Maria and David find this ridiculous and go to play basketball instead.

 	SCENE 4 	The trashball game is almost over as David and Maria observe Oscar, transfixed on his TV set. Maria tells David that she's rooting for Oscar's team, as that will make him happy.
