SCENE 1 Luis and Maria sit on the stoop with some coffee and reading the paper. Suddenly, a newspaper is hurled toward them, creating a puff of dust. The smell paper (The Daily Grouch) belongs to Oscar, who notes it's wrapped in fish before it's sent (as one falls out of the pages). He claims his Grouch paper has the same information as the normal papers, but the main difference is that the deliveries are made monthly. Several more papers begin to fly toward them.
