SCENE 1 | Herry finishes his workout (lifting a 1000 lb. weight) and is ready to play. He asks Luis, David and Jay to play with him, but they all refuse because they have something to do. He claims they don't want to play because they don't know how rough and tough he is, and leaves. |

SCENE 2 | Herry returns, lugging his little red wagon full of different kinds of weights. He tries to show how strong he is to Luis by lifting a 6000-lb. barbell, but Luis is too busy fixing a table at the Fix-it Shop. He recommends showing David at Hooper's Store, who has too much work to do to watch Herry lift his 9,000 lb. weight and tells him to try showing Jay in the yard. Jay gets upset with Herry for spoiling his basketball practice that he tells Herry to go somewhere else. Herry gets so angry from all the rejection that he ends up throwing his 15,000 lb. barbell... right through Susan and Gordon’s window, which he immediately regrets. He worries about getting yelled at and starts to cry, but he refuses to accept that a big tough guy like him is crying. |

SCENE 3 | Susan sees a couple of kids near the broken window, but doesn't believe they can throw something so heavy. She spots a sobbing Herry, who continues believing that tough guys don't cry. Susan explains that everybody - including monsters - feels afraid or sad once in a while, and it's okay for them to cry when they feel bad. Susan lets Herry in on a secret: as tough as Gordon appears, he's a little afraid of the dark. Herry tells Susan the truth, and she forgives him for the broken window. Herry is relieved, and happy to hear that even monsters and tough guys like him can also get hugs. |
