SCENE 1 | Mr. Hooper hears the sounds of bowling going on in Oscar's trash can. He knocks on the can and Oscar confirms this, though he doesn't enjoy being bothered. Olivia does the same thing, so Oscar resolves to stay up outside so nobody will bang on his can anymore. When Maria comes by, she thinks he's merely hanging out, even as he insists he's bowling. | |

As they finally agree on a situation, they find themselves juggling the pins (and hats, and shoes) between each other. They finally set up the pins in place, but accidentally knock them over when tossing their hats in frustration. | |
