   |
SCENE 1 | While David tries to study in Hooper's Store, Luis practices the conga drum nearby. David asks him to tone it down so he can study, and Luis goes from the Fix-it Shop to the steps by the garage. When he practices there, Maria tells him to keep it down because she has a headache. He then heads to the stoop of 123 Sesame Street, but Oscar puts a sign on his can: “GROUCH SLEEPING.” Luis assumes he'll bother Oscar, but Oscar encourages Luis to bother him while he's trying to sleep, as loud noises such as drums are like lullabies to Grouches. Luis plays away as Oscar settles in for a nap. |
