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!

♪ Elmo is a grouch, a grouch who reuses ♪

♪ Reusing anything that Oscar chooses ♪

- What, you think you can reuse any trash I choose?

♪ Some empty plastic water bottles ♪

♪ A cardboard box for scuba goggles ♪

♪ And a jar that once held peanut butter ♪

♪ The trash turned into vases ♪

♪ A place for plants to grow ♪

♪ Reusing is so cool and cleans up clutter ♪

♪ Elmo is a grouch, a grouch who reuses ♪

♪ Elmo is a grouch, a grouch who reuses ♪

♪ Reusing anything that Oscar chooses ♪

- You just said the same thing twice!

- Yeah.

Elmo reuses lyrics, too.

- All right.

What about this?

♪ Carrot peels and wilting ferns ♪

♪ Rotten apples eaten up by worms ♪

♪ You can't reuse that, no chance ♪

♪ Oscar, none of that food needs to spoil ♪

♪ It can make nutritious soil that can feed ♪

and help the plants

That's called composting.

♪ Elmo is a grouch, a grouch who reuses ♪

♪ Reusing anything that Oscar chooses ♪

- No, no, no.

♪ Elmo's not a grouch ♪

♪ A grouch who reuses ♪

♪ He can't reuse everything Oscar chooses ♪

♪ Old shirts and magazines and some empty jars of beans ♪

♪ Can you reuse that or are we done ♪

- Hmm.

Elmo can't think of anything to do with that stuff.

- Ah, I knew it.

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

- (gasps) Wow.

- Maybe Elmo's not a reuse grouch after all.

- Cool sculpture.

Isn't it amazing?

- Yeah!

The sculpture that Oscar made looks just like Elmo.

- What?

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

♪ Oscar is a grouch, a grouch who reuses ♪

♪ Reusing anything that he chooses ♪

♪ Oscar is a grouch, a grouch who reuses ♪

(Oscar yelling)

- There goes one great reuse grouch!
