SCENE 1 | In Hooper's Store, David installs a new smoke detector on the wall. Oscar, supported by Bruno the Trashman, likes the sound it makes. David asks the kids about its purpose and what they must do when it goes off; he makes sure Oscar knows what a fire drill is as well. Oscar initiates one, pulling out an air horn to simulate the noisy sound of the smoke alarm. They all flee the store safely, but Oscar won't let up on his horn. He and Bruno run down the block blaring the horn as David and the kids chase after them. |
