Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Piri wants to ask David for a part-time job at Hooper's Store. Oscar demonstrates how he should make the ask, with Telly's help. He gets face-to-face with Telly (acting as David) and loudly demands a job with the threat of a mud pie to the face. Telly thinks he should instead pathetically beg and offer a big kiss. Piri doesn't want to do either of their methods and describes how he would make the ask. David happens to be wheeling by on a delivery and hears this, hiring Piri on the spot.
