SCENE 1
cont'd
The Grouchytowners arrive, and Oscar instructs them on how to plan "for niceness." They've got their sunglasses in case of smiley faces, and nose plugs so they won't smell any cookies baking, but Worby doesn't have a helmet to protect his head from being patted. Just then, they see Bob and Maria waving to someone, and smell his vanilla ice cream cone, but luckily they've prepared for that already. As they walk past him, he pats Worby's bare head, which upsets him.
