Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Oscar the Grouch plays his tape of self-recorded animal sounds for Maria and the kids to guess. However, all of the animals make angry noises such as screeching birds, yowling cats, and growling dogs. Throughout the game Maria, Bob, and Mr. Hooper react negatively to all the loud sounds and tell him to knock it off, though Oscar continues to turn up the sound instead. They all crowd around his trash can to give him a piece of their minds, which Oscar secretly records and shows off the playback.
