SCENE 1 | Telly has a capital and lowercase G set out (as well as several back up versions) in order to talk about the letter. Gina, Hiroshi, Maria, and the kids, who were all supposed to bring some G-word items, have all brought the same thing - galoshes, which Gina notes are really the only G-word things handy around the house. Telly is disappointed that everyone brought the same thing, but Hiroshi points out how each pair is different. |
