 	SCENE 1 	The Count welcomes the viewer, and reveals that he's looking for something to count (as usual). He counts people coming down the stairs (Susan, Gordon, and Maria), and promptly faints! They come to his aid, and he doesn't remember what happened before he fainted, but he still feels like counting. He counts some passing children and faints again. When he comes to his senses the second time, he thinks it must be the Counting Flu. Maria goes to call the Count's doctor.
