Prunella
SCENE 1 Gordon comes by and asks Oscar who this new Grouch is and where she's from. Oscar makes it clear that he doesn't want to know, but the Grouch introduces herself anyway, as Prunella, from England. The truck she's driving is shaped like a large trash can, and happens to be her mobile home, which she's used to travel the world. Oscar asks her when she's leaving, and she answers that she's staying, to purposely annoy Oscar (and anyone else who gets in her way).
