SCENE 1 | Luis, Susan, and the kids are meeting Mrs. Honker's new baby, who doesn't have a name yet. The mother honks a few times to indicate a suggested name, which everyone else repeats; the baby recoils with each new proposal. Piri comes by on the Hooper's Store delivery bike and honks the horn in a specific pattern which the baby really likes, thus giving her a name. |
