Episode 1098

Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Mr. Hooper tells Maria and Luis that David is out sick, so he's called a local employment agency to send someone over in his place. The agency didn't tell him anything beyond the fact that he's a man around Hooper's age and he has experience running his own store. A man, Mr. Ortiz, arrives, speaking Spanish and inquiring if this is where has been sent by the agency. As he hears Mr. Hooper describe the job, he becomes unsure of his place here - he doesn't speak English well and believes the agency made a mistake. Mr. Hooper claims that he knows a few Spanish words (showing off the store's "Se Habla Espanol" sign) and encourages the man to stay, even though he has some difficulty understanding him.
