Finally fed up with his refusal, the monster doesn't offer to hug him anymore. Then one day, the monster fell into a mud puddle. The grouch discovers that the monster is covered in mud and wanted to give him a hug. The monster doesn't believe the grouch, thinking that he'd only hurt his feelings again.

Luis tells Telly that Oscar really does want to sign his cast. Telly then asks the kids and the audience if it's true. Telly then decides to give Oscar another chance.

Notes[]

  • Though the signature is not visible from the camera angle, the cow in scene 1 writes the word "cow" (with the pen in her mouth) on Telly's cast. A beat later, Telly looks at the signature and reads it as "Frieda."
