SCENE 1 | Olivia points out lovebirds Maria and Luis walking down the street, then presents the word LOVE by writing it on a pad of paper. Oscar can't take hearing all about love, even though he himself loves trash ("That's different," he argues). He says if he hears the word once more, he'll scream. Uncle Wally comes by and invites Olivia to get some coffee. "I'd love to," she replies, setting Oscar off. |
