SCENE 1 | David waits for Telly to make a decision on what he wants for breakfast. Telly finally settles on fried eggs, but David says the store is out of them. Telly frets that he'll never get to have fried eggs ever again until David explains how the store will receive a delivery of more eggs, having Telly picture in his mind how the process works. Telly understands now, but places another order for fried eggs. He knows the food won't be coming, but he liked imagining how the eggs get to the store and wishes to do it again. |

Luis quickly becomes repulsed when he realizes what he's done, but Oscar is even more repulsed for having watched it. |
