SCENE 1 Telly explains to Susan and Gordon that he's waiting at the bus stop for Uncle Wally to arrive. He's keeping a sharp eye on the sign as he's worried that someone will take the sign away and the bus won't stop. The couple explains to him that the bus stop sign isn't likely to be taken away because it's firmly in the ground; Telly would rather watch the bus stop sign anyway.
