While he goes on, Linda opens the door and watches him in puzzlement. Telly finally turns around to see her, and does his best to convey the question of how she knew he rang he doorbell.

 * Scene 3: Back in Linda's apartment, the telephone rings and Telly notes that it also has a light to indicate to deaf people that someone is calling.

In response, Linda demonstrates that the phone has a text readout, and it says that Bob is on his way to pick up her laundry. Telly is fascinated that there are things that help a deaf person find out about sounds they can't hear. When his stomach grumbles, he pats his stomach to gesture that he's hungry.
