SCENE 1 Gordon comes stomping out of 123 Sesame Street and angrily bangs on Oscar's trash can. He accuses Oscar of waking him up early on his and Susan's day to sleep in late with the sounds of banging pots and pans. Oscar continues to enjoy Gordon's complaining when Buffy comes out and apologizes to Gordon, saying Cody got out of his crib and started playing with the items in Maria's kitchen. Gordon feels slightly embarrassed, and asks Oscar why he didn't defend himself before. Oscar replies that if he had, he would've missed all of Gordon's great grouching.
