Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Oscar, in a fit of weakness, has agreed to show everyone about "quiet" and "loud." He has no interest in doing any of this educational material himself, but in his words, "An idea occurs to this clever, devious, tricky mind of this Grouch here!" He gets a pillow out and pretends to be asleep, forcing David, Maria, and Gordon to be very quiet around him. When he reveals he was faking, they all yell loudly at him. Oscar retreats, but the others further demonstrate "loud" by all drumming on his trash can lid.

 	SCENE 3 	Gordon wants to write a letter to his parents, but his typewriter is broken. Sam the Robot offers his services, citing typing as one of his many functions.

He also interprets Gordon's non-dictation dialogue as part of the letter, typing every single word he says. Gordon gets him to stop by saying a conclusion, resulting in several feet of giant paper. Gordon leaves with the bundle of letter in his arms, though Sam points out that he can't mail the letter without an envelope, and provides him with a standard-size one.
