 	SCENE 2 	The Count comes by Hooper's Store, noting how beautiful and lovely it is today and decides to look for something to count. Bob and two kids come walking in his direction, but once they see him Bob becomes stressed out, knowing the Count’s intentions and stays put, much to the Count’s confusion. Luis and two more kids come by, but Bob shushes them and warns them that the Count is nearby. They all agree that they’re not in the mood to be counted and how much of a drag it sometimes is considering the usual outcome. The Count overhears them talking and takes offense, wishing they were more understanding of his passion: “I HAVE to count, I LOVE to count, I LIVE to count, I AM the Count! Counting is my karma!”
He then decides to pretend he’s asleep so he can discreetly count the others as they walk by, and asks the viewer not to give it away. Once they hear the Count’s fake yawning and sleep noises, Bob, Luis, and the kids decide to tiptoe past him, setting their respective plans into motion. Just when the others think they succeeded, the Count’s thunder and lightning goes off and they grow irritated realizing what the Count has been up to all along. As the group walks away grumbling, the Count compliments himself for being a good bluffer - and the viewer for being a good secret keeper.
