Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Olivia greets the viewer and reports that David's grandmother Grace will be visiting from the country. Oscar will return any minute in his taxi with her. Once they arrive, Grandma shows Olivia all the vegetables she's packed; every one of her many suitcases is filled with vegetables, as she intends to sell them to everybody on Sesame Street. Olivia makes her realize that she neglected to pack any clothes or toiletries with her, so she and Oscar must drive back to the country. Oscar bemoans another trip, but looks forward to sitting in traffic.
