 	SCENE 2 	Monty brings a pineapple over to Prairie so he can point out the many things one can do with a pineapple, such as play on a tire swing with it, pretend it's a dog, or teach it to play checkers. He points out some kids doing those things, but Prairie informs him that that's not what you do with a pineapple. "Well, what do you do with a pineapple?" asks Monty. "Eat!" says Prairie. Failing to get the point, Monty invites the pineapple to a restaurant.
