SCENE 1 | Oscar can sense the viewer's presence from inside his can. He emerges in order to toss a tin can on the sidewalk, which he loves the sound and sight of. He anticipates how Bob and Olivia will react, believing that instead of getting annoyed, they'll somehow turn the tables on him and make him think they like having a can on the sidewalk. He thinks they'll then shower him with balloons, flowers and kisses. Bob and Olivia finally stop by and are baffled as Oscar refuses to throw the can down and talks about their celebration. |
