 	SCENE 1 	Bob comes across Oscar's trash can, which has now been converted into an ice creamery. Oscar advertises his nine different flavors, all beginning with the letter S - Salami, Salmon Salad, Sardine, Sauerkraut, Sausage, Scallion, Sour Cream, Spaghetti and Spareribs. Bob, despite claiming he wants to support the people in his neighborhood, passes upon hearing the selections.

 	SCENE 2 	Oscar recruits Grundgetta to help attract customers to the stand. He provides her with a scoop and when someone passes by, she licks the cone and says it's the best she's ever had. However, Grundgetta asks for two more scoops before cooperating. A kid passes by and Grundgetta neglects to say her line, as she doesn't feel the ice cream really is the best she's ever had (believing the spaghetti flavored scoop could use more tomato sauce).

During the satellite interview, Grundgetta briefly poses as a stranger who boasts about the ice cream.

 	SCENE 4 	Forgetful Jones stops by and Oscar tries selling him some ice cream. Forgetful's lack of long-term memory prevents him from remembering any flavors available, except for strawberry, which Oscar doesn't sell.

 	SCENE 5 	Oscar entices Luis to buy some ice cream, showing him he's now added strawberry to the menu.

He also doesn't allow cash refunds, but states that he'll give Luis his nickel back if he instead tries a Grouch flavor and doesn't like it. Luis gets a scoop of spaghetti ice cream and echoes Grundgetta's issues with it, much to the latter's delight and Oscar's dismay.
