SCENE 1 | In the evening, Maria plays hot potato with the kids, while Luis and Mr. Hooper lock up their shops. Mr. Ortiz comes down the block and they recall when he helped at Hooper's Store. He tells them things haven't been good lately, as there was a fire in his building and forced him to move out. He's been staying with his niece, but her small apartment doesn't have much room (especially with her family staying there too). Mr. Hooper offers the pull-out couch in his apartment for him to use. |
