 	SCENE 2 	Mr. Hooper and Luis find Oscar in Hooper's Store, preparing to interview a number of Grouches lined up outside since he will be leaving for a few days and he wants a replacement Grouch. A Southern Grouch with a cowboy hat is the first applicant, and Oscar hands him a flowerpot with a flower in it, asking what he'd do with them. The applicant says he'd throw the flower in the wastebasket, but Oscar says a real Grouch would throw away the flower and the pot, and throw the dirt everywhere – which he does, to Mr. Hooper's dismay.
 	SCENE 2cont'd 	The next applicant, a Grouch from Denver with bushy hair, comes in. Oscar asks him what he'd do with a dirty old torn shirt like the one he produces, and the Grouch says he'd wear it to the opera. Oscar counters that a real Grouch would tear the shirt up even further and hang it up on the living room wall. Next!
 	SCENE 2cont'd 	Oscar asks the third applicant what they'd do with a bunch of old newspapers. The mustached applicant proceeds to tear them to shreds, dirtying up the store even further.

Oscar concludes that it's up to him to keep Sesame Street grouchy.
