SCENE 1 | Benny arrives at the bus stop where Angela and some others are waiting. Standing with them is a uniformed rabbit with a clipboard - she is Louise, the bus dispatcher who seems to be as cranky as Benny. She realizes she's misplaced her important pencil and becomes distraught. Benny reluctantly helps her find it, and as a result he misses his bus. He blames Louise, who crossly tells him the next bus will arrive in 6 minutes. |
