They realize Rudy's mistake was inhaling instead of exhaling when trying to blow the bubble. Rudy blows out this time and manages to make his first bubble! Oscar pops it immediately after. Rudy doesn't mind, as he now knows how to make more and encourages Oscar to keep popping them so he can make more. Everyone sings the bubble-making song once more.
