SCENE 1 | David finds Forgetful Jones standing outside Hooper's Store, once again having forgotten what he's going to do. Forgetful's tummy growls, indicating he's hungry. David further deduces that because Forgetful is by somewhere that serves food and it's early in the morning, he's here to have breakfast. Forgetful realizes this is right and as David goes off to prepare him something to eat, Susan comes by. She's pleased to see Forgetful remembered her invitation to have breakfast at her place and takes him there. David, left with Forgetful's food, starts to eat it himself, having forgotten to have breakfast as well. |
