SCENE 1 | Maria works at the Fix-It Shop and chats with a visiting Honker, who has their rather cranky baby with them. Duane and Ingrid arrive on the block to Maria's surprise, having not seen them since their honeymoon. The couple has heard about the blessed event and they've come all the way from Topeka to bring her a special gift Duane picked out for the baby. After guessing from Ingrid's clues, Maria discovers it's a baby-sized radio and headphones, perfect for calming the baby down. Maria sees that it works very well with the young Honker, who perks up while listening to "Symphony No. 5." |
