SCENE 1 | Luis, Piri, Grace, and Gordon are gathered to get a group photo with Miles. Olivia, operating the camera, gets them all into place, when Gordon wishes she could be a part of the photo too. Oscar offers to take their picture and assures the skeptical group that nothing will happen. He produces his Grouch camera and tells them all to say "Blech." Olivia wants to develop the picture right away, then sees Oscar's camera didn't have any film to begin with. |

Oscar again offers his services, promising to have actual film in his camera this time, even offering to develop the picture in his dark room.

Everyone gets riled up and he promises to take a photo the way they want it this time. True to his word, he reappears with a perfect photo of everyone's smiling faces. He then crumples it all up, but reveals it's just another gag - he made two copies. "Even when he's good, he's bad," says Olivia. |
