SCENE 1 | Gladys the Cow comes to the Fix-It Shop to have her clock repaired. Luis hears it making a normal "tick-tock" sound, but Gladys claims it's supposed to go "tick-tock-moo." Luis makes an adjustment and the clock makes the sound. She then asks him to fix her wristwatch - it's supposed to go "tick-tock-oink" (it's a gift from a pig friend). |
