   |
SCENE 1 | Count von Count assembles David, Olivia, and Mr. Hooper out near the stoop. The group complains that it's four in the morning, but the Count needs their help showing "next to." David exclaims, "You're flipping your monocle, man!" and the Count explains why he needs to do so early: his bat Luba only works nights. Luba flies next to each of them (though the others are slightly creeped out by her) and the tree nearby. She and the Count head home after seeing everyone else has fallen asleep. |
