 	SCENE 1 	Oscar seeks shelter in the Fix-It Shop from whom he claims are "the happiest people in the world." Herb and Glo, the people Oscar is referring to, introduce themselves; they love to travel the globe and find joy in everything, and Maria and Luis are surprised to see that this includes someone as cantankerous as Oscar. Herb suddenly gets an urge, and Glo explains he likes to sing about the things that make him happy. Oscar gets fed up and convinces them to leave him alone, which will make him truly happy.
