SCENE 1 | Luis has dumped out all his screws and nails to find just the right one to fix Bert's radio at the Fix-it Shop. He has to drop it off soon (Bert doesn't want to miss an upcoming interview with a pigeon commisioner), but dreads having to clean up the mess. The Count offers to help, but finds the sorting rather boring, barely getting anything done by the time Luis gets back. Luis asks him to count the nails and screws, thinking this will pique his interest. He turns his back for a mere moment before finding the Count is now through with the job. "There is no job you cannot do if it is interesting enough," the Count declares. | |
