SCENE 1 Susan says hello to some kids and welcomes the viewer. She displays the china platter she's polishing, which her grandmother had passed to her mother, who passed it down to her when she married Gordon. She comments that Gordon doesn't like it much, so it's usually stored away. She accidentally drops it, and sadly counts the six broken pieces.

Susan empties some garbage into a nearby can, which includes the broken platter. Gordon tries to apologize, but Susan laments that the plate is already thrown out.
