 	SCENE 1 	Biff comes to Hooper's Store to buy what he assumes is lots of things for his friend Moose at the plant. Biff goes on to describe everything that is requested; something round, something white, something plastic, something that bounces, and so on. Mr. Hooper shows how everything Biff just described can be attributed to a ping-pong ball, which Biff finds amazing. Biff doesn't think that two is enough for Moose and keeps egging him for more until Mr. Hooper dumps a boxful on his head. Biff turns to the camera and asks, "Did I hear a moose laughing?"
