SCENE 1 | Gordon passes by Oscar's trash can and spots a very confusing sign on it, reading "GOAWAYLEAVEMEALONE"; Gordon deduces that all of the words are blended together. Susan, Bob, and Mr. Hooper arrive and give further criticisms by making their own sign with the words separated and other format suggestions. Oscar despises all the extra attention he's getting: "I put out a little, simple sign, and I get a convention here!" He destroys both signs, and the grown-ups dissipate quietly from the scene. |
