SCENE 1 | At Hooper's Store, Gina reintroduces the viewer to Hiroshi, an art student who's working on a sketch of Gina. Oscar drives the Sloppy Jalopy out of the garage and intends to keep it on the street from now on, where more damage can be done to it. Since the garage is now vacant, Hiroshi wonders if he can use it as his art studio. Oscar is reluctant to deal with someone who makes nice art, but allows him to take up residence, just as long as he pays rent - one bag of trash a week, and the first payment is due today. |
