SCENE 1 | Gordon, David, and Susan meet up after respectively getting a bucket of water, some hay, and a bowl of uncooked oats, all of which Oscar has asked them for. Jay joins the group, though he's had trouble trying to find the saddle Oscar wants. They hear a whinny from Oscar's trash can, and Oscar comes out wearing a cowboy hat, confirming that he indeed has a horse inside his can. He believes his bucking bronco is perfect for having around the kitchen, as he's (literally) breaking in some new dinner dishes... not to mention everything else. |
