 	SCENE 3 	Lillian (Vinnette Carroll) notices a grungy "BUS STOP" sign beside Oscar's trash can, which makes her curious. Oscar, all dressed up (or rather, messed up), reveals that he is all set to go on a date with a new bus driver he has a crush on, and the sign is near his can so that the Rocky Road Grouch Line bus she drives will stop there. The bus does stop there, and the driver, a grouch named Matilda, picks him up, but suddenly the bus motor dies down because it's jammed with mud. Matilda is determined to fix the motor once she gets some tools, and Lillian suggests she see Luis and Rafael.

 	SCENE 7 	Big Bird walks over to Lillian with a small baby carriage, pretending to be a babysitter using Pamela's doll.
