Muppet/Kid Moment: Bert and Ingrid count backwards from 10 to 1

Scene 2: Bob and Linda are walking down the street carrying groceries when Oscar volunteers to help. The adults are astonished, since Oscar never offers help to anyone. Oscar explains that he’s got a rare Grouch sickness called Help-itis, which causes its victims to uncontrollably help anybody and everybody! Linda and Bob agree that Oscar needs to find a cure quickly.

Scene 4: While Oscar washes dishes in the back of Hooper’s Store, Bob takes the others aside. He explains that Oscar is helping everyone else out today, so what if they try to help him out with something? Grouches don’t like getting help from anyone, so that might be the cure for Oscar’s Help-itis. The adults start planning…

Muppets: Biff helps Salvador Dada hang his paintings and titles in a gallery. The titles are merely numbers, but they correspond to the number of splotches on each painting. Thus, Biff assumes that the last painting is called “Five,” but Salvador Dada declares, “I call this one ‘Chicken Soup!’”

Scene 5: Oscar sits in his can, desperately looking for someone else to help. Olivia comes by and offers to help sort Oscar’s stinky sneaker collection. Oscar politely turns her down. Then Bob and Linda offer to feed his elephants, and Oscar firmly says no. Next, Mr. Hooper asks if he can help spread dirt and dust on Oscar’s floor, and Gordon offers to cook Oscar’s favorite dinner of spaghetti topped with broccoli, grapes, and chocolate syrup. Oscar shouts, “That does it! I’m not gonna help anyone else out, and I don’t want any help from anyone! Now go away and leave me alone!” As he slams the lid down, the adults agree that Oscar’s Help-itis has been cured.
