SCENE 3

All that nose swiping gave Oscar an idea for a game... but first, he has the kids blow off steam by running in place. Though initially uncooperative, the kids eventually settle down for a "One of These Things" game. Round one uses pictures of Bert — five with a nose on him, one without. Pictures of Ernie are featured in the second round - five with ears, one without. Ernie's ear is kind of like a circle, which the kids can tell apart from a square... but Buddy and Jim sure can't...
