SCENE 1 | David feels hungry and makes himself a nice, big sandwich at Hooper's Store. After he sets it out, Maria comes by and starts snacking on it, being very hungry herself. She apologizes when she finds that David intended to eat it himself, but he shrugs it off and starts making a bigger sandwich. Similarly, that too is eaten by Bob when he comes in for lunch. David finally prepares the biggest sandwich of all for himself when Luis interrupts, telling him that Mrs. Williams needs some milk delivered for her baby immediately. As David reluctantly heads out, Luis spots the sandwich and assures David that it won't go to waste. |
