The Grouch decides to cause some mischief and starts barking, hoping everyone will think it's Barkley and get him in trouble. Somebody tosses an old shoe at Barkley to keep "him" quiet, and Oscar becomes jealous: "What'd they reward him for? I could use that!" He barks some more which attracts Maria outside, still in her bathrobe.
