Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Gordon is going to the flower shop and asks Oscar to tell anyone who needs him he'll be back soon. Oscar asks why he's buying flowers. Gordon states they're for Susan, and not for any special occasion - he just wants to show her he cares. Oscar asks him to buy a second bunch of flowers for Susan from himself, and even offers to pay for one. Gordon leaves, confused of Oscar's kindness, and Oscar tells the viewer, "Every year or two I do something nice, just to confuse people."
