 | SCENE 1 | David feels hungry and makes himself a nice, big sandwich. After he sets it out, Maria comes by and, not realizing it belongs to him, starts snacking on it. David starts making himself a bigger sandwich, which is similarly eaten by Bob. He finally prepares the biggest sandwich of all, when Luis comes in and tells him that Mrs. Williams needs some milk delivered for her baby. As David reluctantly heads out, Luis assures David that he'll finish the sandwich for him. |
