Picture	Segment	Description
	SCENE 1	Gordon encounters The Count, waiting at the bus stop. It looks like rain, so he asks Gordon to wait while he goes to fetch his umbrella. When the bus gets there, Gordon tells the bus driver (played onscreen by Richard Hunt) to wait for The Count, but they get into an argument. When The Count finally gets back, he doesn’t get on the bus, instead counting it as the fifth bus he hasn’t boarded today.
