SCENE 1 | Telly invites Oscar to partake in a game and snack with him, Lisa, Jamel, and Larry, but Oscar naturally declines. Telly says he can watch instead and initiates a game of "Telly Says" (his version of "Simon Says"). Oscar can't stand how happy the game is and takes over, making it "Oscar Says." He commands everyone to go to Hooper's Store and stay there. He enjoys his peace, then comes up with a way to improve the game... | |
