SCENE 1 | Telly shows Maria that he's taking care of Piri's dog Cool while he's off downtown. Telly has a gift prepared for him: a couple of special tags with Cool's name and owner contact info, which Maria attaches to Cool's leash. Telly doesn't think he'll be that great of a pet sitter, but Maria assures him that he'll be fine since he seems prepared with so many dog supplies. After Maria leaves, Telly lets go of Cool's leash for a moment to fill his water dish at Hooper's Store. When Telly returns, he is panicked to find Cool is now gone! |
