SCENE 1 | As Maria, Linda, Olivia, and Susan greet the viewer, they become annoyed when Piri dances in blasting his boombox. They complain about the noise and wonder if his own mother ever finds it just as bad. Piri explains his mom is deaf, so she can't hear it, but has learned to sign as a result. He invites Linda for a walk, knowing the loud music won't bother her. |
