  |
SCENE 1 | Susan watches as Oscar, with a rubber bulb horn on his face, receives a lesson in speaking "honk" from a female Honker. He hopes that since the language is so noisy, he'll be able to say grouchy things and make a lot of noise in the process. However, he finds the translations for "scram" and "get lost" are short honks, not making much noise at all. Oscar asks for a noisy phrase and he repeats it. The Honker begins to hug and kiss him, indicating he just said "I love you" in honk! |
