- Maria: Oscar, I have tried stories, I have tried lullabies, I tried different things. But Irvine keeps doing the same. She keeps on crying and crying and throwing a temper tantrum. I can't stand it anymore. I quit! I give up!
- Oscar the Grouch: Oh, Relax sweetie. There is only one way to get a grouch baby back to sleep.
- [to Grungetta]
- Oscar the Grouch: Oh, Grungetta!
- Grungetta: Yes? Oscar?
- Oscar the Grouch: I just had a rotten time with you, today!
- Grungetta: OH YEAH? WELL I HAD A WORSE TIME WITH YOU!
- Oscar the Grouch: NO YOU DID NOT!
- Grungetta: DID TOO!
- Oscar the Grouch: YOU DID NOT!
- Grungetta: I DID TOO!
- [They keep arguing until Irvine finally calms down]
- Oscar the Grouch: Hey, Look Irvine finally calms down. Grouch babies love to calm down to a sound of a good loud argument.
- [They continue to argue at each other]
- Maria: [In frustration] Sesame Street has been brought to you today by the letters C, and F, and by the number 8.
- [suddenly shouting]
- Maria: SESAME STREET IS A PRODUCTION OF THE CHILDREN'S TELEVISION WORKSHOP! AUDIOS!
- Maria: [to the Two-Headed Monster, who tries out the lullaby on violin to calm Irvine down] Oh, No, Guy! You don't understand. You see? She is not like a regular baby, She is a grouch baby. She loves to scream and cry and throw tantrums a lot. A lullaby will not work.
