 	SCENE 1 	Oscar asks (or yells, rather) for a rotten piece of wood from the Fix-It Shop.

Oscar leaves with the shortened board to help build Slimey a hot tub, though the Grouch gets upset with Maria when she invites Slimey to stay, sensing his talents are much better suited at the shop than Oscar's place.
