SCENE 1 | Oscar shows Maria a spray-bottle of a product he's just bought from the Whole Grouch Catalog: Disappear-o, which turns anything that you spray it on invisible. He considered trying it on a teddy bear and some pretty flowers, but decides to spray it on himself instead. He sprays it on Maria by accident, and she instantly vanishes (though her voice can still be heard). When Luis comes by to look for her, she proves that she's invisible by removing his hat from his head. |

He doesn't want the same thing to happen to Maria, but reconsiders knowing he'd enjoy watching her getting squirt in the face.
