[Telly Monster runs up to Oscar's can and frantically starts knocking at it.] Telly: Oscar! Oscar! Oscar! Oscar: Hey, scram, Telly! Scram, I'm makin' an important New Year's Eve phone call here. Telly: Grouches celebrate New Year's Eve? Oscar: Well, sure. Every year, I call my mom and some relatives, kind of a grouch conference call, and we say something very special to each other. Telly: Wow. Well, if even grouches celebrate the new week, maybe I don't have to worry. Oscar: [turns to the viewers] Oh, I can't resist. [turns to Telly; clears his throat] Of course you have to worry. Think about it, Telly. When this year is through, everything you know and love, all those things that are part of a year, the months, the days of the week, the hours, the minutes, the very seconds, everything that makes up a year will be over. Telly: [worried] ...Over? Oscar: Why do you think they throw out old calendars at the end of the year? Telly: I... I... I don't think I want to know, Oscar. Oscar: Because they don't need them anymore. [Telly runs off screaming.] Oscar: [laughs] Oh, I enjoyed that. Last lines All: Happy New Year! [everyone cheers] Category:Television specials
