Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Chicago the Lion downs his supply of vegetables at Hooper's Store and eyes the rest of the stock. He orders a few more, then wants the whole bundle. Gina refuses to give him any more and Chicago breaks down in tears. Gina points out that while they're good for people (and vegetary lions), if Chicago got all the vegetables it wouldn't be fair to the other customers. She cuts a deal with him, saying he can collect whatever is left over later in the day.
