SCENE 1 | Luis helps Gladys the Cow by tuning her radio to her favorite station, โMoo-Moo-Moo FMโ (as she's all hooves). He tunes the dial to โMoo FMโ where they hear only one moo, then to โMoo-Moo FM,โ which has two moos. Finally, he reaches โMoo-Moo-Moo FMโ with three moos. She takes her radio away as it begins to play a bunch of pig squeals, which Gladys recognizes as the Oinker Sisters. Luis remarks to the viewer, โSometimes I wish I lived where you do - on a nice, normal street.โ | |

The doctor asks what Sam wants with him, and the mean hombre says that his finger is really itchy -- it's driving him crazy. Is it a mosquito bite? Should he use some lotion on it?
