 	SCENE 1 	Luis encounters an upset Telly, who has just learned that the Count intends to give up counting. Even though he loves counting a lot, the Count wants to try new things and admits it's not good to keep doing the same thing over and over; before long, he's begun counting reasons to stop counting. Luis tells him that counting is a perfectly fine thing to do and that he just can't stop doing it all at once. The Count agrees, and vows to find something else that he loves more than counting.
