SCENE 1 Linda has invited Telly to have lunch outside Hooper's Store. She tells Telly that she's going to get some food, and Telly is able to tell what she said by the gestures she used with her signs. While she's away, Barkley tugs the tablecloth off, causing a mess. Telly wonders how he can explain what happened if he can't sign very well. When she gets back Telly does some gestures, indicating what happened. Linda properly reprimands Barkley and Telly thinks he's better at signing than he thought.
