Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Telly is going to write a story and has prepared for the unforeseeable by stocking up several dozen pencils, erasers, a bunch of pads of paper, and two typewriters. Maria and Luis try to convince him he's going overboard again. He then can't decide what to write about, since he likes too many things and can't pick out a single topic. They suggest he sit and think for a while before settling on an idea. When they leave, Telly remarks how much he likes them, only to realize that this also adds them to the list of stuff he likes.
