- Hey you.
Yeah, you!
You're just in time for our grouch meeting.
(both laugh)
- Wait for Elmo!
Elmo is here for the grouch meeting.
Elmo's a reuse grouch.
Reuse grouch?
Reuse grouch, that's not even a thing.
What are you talking about?
- Yes it is, Oscar.
Reuse grouches take trash
and turn it into something you can use again.
Oh, reuse grouches even have a song.
- What song?
(upbeat music)
- [Both] No!

I knew I'd stump you sometime! (laughs)

- Cool sculpture.
Isn't it amazing?
- Yeah!
The sculpture that Oscar made looks just like Elmo.

No, no I didn't mean to do that!
