 	SCENE 1 	Telly is practicing his tuba in the yard, and has declared today as "Tuba Day," meaning he only wants to practice his tuba and not be involved with anything else. Carlo notices Rosita listening to him in awe, and admits how Telly's pretty important to her. He suggests telling him how important he is, so Rosita walks up to Telly and tells him, but afterwards thinks it wasn't enough. She decides to show him something more to express his importance and heads off.
