SCENE 1 | Luis watches over some kids doing drawings in the yard, with Humphrey, Ingrid and Natasha observing nearby. Natasha shows interest in drawing too, so Luis gives her a crayon and paper. She immediately starts scribbling all over it. Her parents begin to fawn over the picture, boasting that she's a natural artist. They interpret her squiggles as a drawing of Luis riding a turtle. They interpret her second piece the same way, but the third one depicts Luis riding a cow instead. |
