Luis increases his volume until, on his third try, his greeting is so loud that it gives a tremendous echo, reverberating across the whole neighborhood. Harvey is weirded out.

Grover assures that he can be a pet to be proud of, and tells Oscar he'll be right back.

 	SCENE 3 	Grover returns dressed like a kangaroo and starts hopping frantically. Oscar complains of a stiff neck from watching Grover bounce, and his bobbing causes him to bang his head on the trash can lid. Oscar insists he doesn't want a kangaroo, which isn't a grouchy pet, and tells Grover to go away. Exhausted from hopping, Grover agrees that a kangaroo wasn't the best idea and goes off to think of something else.
