SCENE 1 | Oscar, in a fit of weakness, has agreed to show everyone about "quiet" and "loud." He has no interest in doing any of this educational material himself, but in his words, "An idea occurs to this clever, devious, tricky mind of this Grouch here!" He gets a pillow out and pretends to be asleep, forcing David, Maria, and Gordon to be very quiet around him. When he reveals he was faking, they all yell loudly at him. Oscar retreats, but the others further demonstrate "loud" by all drumming on his trash can lid. | |
