Episode 1841

Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Gordon encounters Oscar leading the Grouchketeers in reciting the "Grouch alphabet,” a system he made up that has all the letters out of order, beginning with D. Oscar thinks D deserves to be the first letter because it starts words like "dirt," "dust," "damp," and "dump." Gordon mentions some non-grouchy words (mostly flowers), and Oscar requests three bags of dirt from him in exchange for ceasing to teach the DBC's.

Olivia says he'll have to live with W bags of dirt, which he doesn't want.
