SCENE 1 | At Hooper's Store, Oscar orders his usual cup of coffee with relish and mustard. He notices that David is nose-deep in a book studying as he gives him high praise of his drink. He learns that David only has a few pages left in his book, assumes that he's finished all of his studying, and fears that when David becomes a lawyer and stops working at Hooper's he won't be able to drink the worst coffee in the world. Oscar tries to get David to change his mind and gets him riled up, but David tells Oscar that it takes years to become a lawyer, so he's not going anywhere anytime soon. Oscar is pleased to hear the news, and quickly mutters that he'd miss him as he pays for his coffee and leaves. David calls to him, "Hey Oscar! You've got a funny way of telling someone you like 'em, but you do get your point across!" |
