SCENE 1 | The Amazing Mumford stops by Hooper's Store for a quick lunch, but Mr. Hooper is occupied making meals for Gordon and Luis. Mumford tries to speed up the process using magic, making Gordon and Luis' orders appear right in front of them. As Mr. Hooper asks why Mumford can't conjure up his own food, Gordon and Luis are repulsed by the food Mumford has made. "Although I'm indeed a fine magician...I'm a lousy cook," says Mumford. |
