Sorry, Cookie. Sorry. Elmo?

Oh! Me having a bad cookie day! Oh, me head.
Telly
Hey, everyone! Hey, hey!
Zoe
What's the matter?
Gordon
What's going on?
Telly
Oscar said that Elmo is gone. He probably went down into Oscar's can for his blanket, but instead of getting the blanket, he got sucked away into some far-off and grouchy place! And he's never going to...
Gordon
Easy, Telly. Oscar probably just meant that Elmo went home, that's all.
Oscar
No. Actually, the worrywart's right.
All
What?
Cookie Monster
Say what?
Oscar
Yep. Elmo got sucked down through a door in my can to Grouchland, U.S.A.
Gordon
Grouchland, U.S.A.?
Big Bird
Where's that?
Telly
This is terrible! What are we gonna do? What are we going to do?
Maria
Here's what we're going to do, Telly. We're going to go down to Grouchland... whatever that is, and get Elmo back!
All
Yeah!
Oscar
Well, alright, but be careful. I just had the rugs dirtied.

Exploring the Sights and Smells of Grouchland
Telly
That was a wild ride!
Gordon
Wow. So this is Grouchland, huh?
Oscar
Yeah, land of a thousand stenches.
Maria
Yeah, and I think I can smell a number of them right now.
All Grouches
Hey, look who it is! It's Oscar! Oscar? You look like a million yucks. Yeah! Go away! Get out! Take your friends with you.
Oscar
Ah, who says you can't go home again?
Maria
Oscar, maybe you can get your friends to tell us where Elmo is.
All
Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah yeah.
Oscar
In a minute. First, I have to look at the old Neighborhood There. Hey, I wonder where that old septic tank is.
Maria
Hey. Wait a minute!
Gordon
No. Oscar, we've got to find Elmo first!
All
Yeah. Elmo!
Maria
Let's go this way.

Have you seen Elmo?
Grouch Cab Driver
Stop bothering us. First the little red guy, now you.
Big Bird
Oh, look. There's a police officer.
[coughing]
Zoe
Yeah! Let's ask him for help.
Grouch Cop
It's against the law to ask for help in Grouchland. You have the right to scream your head off. Should you give up the right to scream your head off, someone who screams their head off will be provided for you.
[laughing]
Cookie Monster
Wait, wait. Me innocent.
Gordon
Come on.
Cookie Monster
Hello? Me needs cookie?
Gordon
This is not right.

Maria
At a carnival?
Bob
