Episode 0829

Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	At Hooper's Store, Debo asks David for 100 marbles, which he’ll pick up later. David would rather have more time to study than count the marbles, and asks the Count to count them instead. Unfortunately the Count is taking the day off today and saving his energy so he can visit the country tomorrow to count blades of grass (and maybe a few grasshoppers). David tries counting the marbles multiple times but loses track whenever the Count tries to bring his attention to something (as well as Oscar barging in to ask about leftover trash). David is unable to get the right amount counted when Debo returns, but the Count points out that there is no need to do so anyway: the label on the jar lid already has the quantity of marbles listed, so there’s no need to count them.
