SCENE 1 | Oscar, dressed in a turban and armed with a pipe, calls out for people to see him and Slimey perform the Grouch Indian Worm trick; he claims it's two tricks in one. All they need is a shoelace, which Luis reluctantly provides after some goading from the kids. As the trick begins, Oscar says the magic words and the shoelace rises up, then goes stiff. Slimey climbs up the lace, which then vanishes from sight. Slimey re-appears from inside a nearby box, but Luis' shoelace is gone for good - "That, my friend, is the second trick, and it's on you!" |
