Picture Segment Description

SCENE 1 At Hooper's Store, David says hello to several kids who walk by, but they don't respond. They're all wearing shirts and caps with the letter U on them, and they're headed for Oscar's trash can. Frustrated at being ignored, David walks over to Oscar looking to find out what's going on. Oscar explains that he's rallied the kids to wait for Bruno to take them to Camp Uglyyucchy. When asked, Oscar says that Buffy is sleeping in the Grime Room in his can, but David expresses concern that she may not want to go to the Grouch camp. Bruno leads Oscar and the kids off, singing "We're off to Uglyyucchy" (in a parody of "We're Off to See the Wizard").

SCENE 2 Now at Camp Uglyyucchy in Bruno's junkyard, Buffy is awake and peering out of Oscar's can with Cody in her arms. Beside her, Oscar leads the kids in a loud Camp Uglyyucchy cheer. Buffy states that this isn't her idea of fun, so Oscar tells her she can go on a junk walk — a Grouch version of a nature walk — with the kids. Oscar explains that the trash around them is "kid safe" so nobody will get hurt, and that they'll use all the junk to form a marching band, which Buffy finds annoyingly noisy. She yells to the viewer, "Can anybody tell me how to get to Sesame Street?!"

Using the cans collected in the previous scene, Oscar has crafted a trophy which he awards to the camper who has grouched and complained the most since they got to Camp Uglyyuchy: "Camper Twinkletoes, otherwise known as Scruffy St. Marie!" She accepts the prize before hurrying the kids back into Oscar's can for some hot cocoa (mustard optional). Buffy tries to get in as well, but Oscar says Bruno can't carry them all with her inside, too... unless she wants to ride in the can and let the kids walk in the rain. She relents and walks in the rain with Bruno, crummy trophy in hand.
