SCENE 1 | On a rainy day, Oscar reports for WORM-TV to ask some passerby their three questions of the day, which will earn them a grand prize. Oscar makes Luis stand out in the rain as he asks the three questions, all having to do with what happens when someone stands in the rain too long. Luis gets them all right and Oscar hands him something he needs - a towel (which also happens to be filthy). |
