 	COLD OPEN 	An announcer (Martin P. Robinson) declares, "And here she is, the one you've all been waiting for... Sally Messy Yuckyael!" Oscar and Grundgetta are guests on Sally's trashy talk show, where today's topic is displayed onscreen: "Grouches who love too much!"
 	SCENE 1 	Sally announces that today's guests are two Grouches, one of whom fell in love with the other. Oscar admits that it was him and begins to tell the story of how it happened, seen in a flashback. This morning he and Grundgetta were having their usual morning argument. "Suddenly, I started hearing this yucky, sweet violin music," Oscar continues. "And then my heart was going pitty-pat, pitty-pat... I couldn't even nyah-nyah-nyah-nyah-nyeahhh..." Grundgetta couldn't stand Oscar looking at her with "gaga eyes," but the worst part is when Oscar suddenly blurts out, "Grundgetta, I... I love you!"

 	SCENE 3 	On the next part of Sally Messy Yuckyael, Grundgetta reveals how she managed to make Oscar stop loving her: she invited him to a romantic dinner at a nice little bistro; again, the idea sickens all the Grouches. As seen in a flashback, a trio of violin-playing penguins perform as they dine, when Grundgetta leans over and kisses Oscar, which snaps him back to his old self and makes him angry. Everyone back on Sally is relieved that the nightmare is now over, though Sally presses if Oscar will fall in love again. "I'm just taking it one day at a time," Oscar admits. Grundgetta warns that she'll kiss him if he ever falls in love with her again, and the former lovebirds start arguing once more as Sally announces another break.

She tells Oscar to kiss her, which Sally is against ("On my show? What are ya tryin to do, raise my ratings?") but Oscar reluctantly does so.
