SCENE 1 Molly welcomes the viewer, toting around an oddly noisy bunch of packages. They all are addressed to Mr. Hooper via his store, and Molly shakes each package as Trey, Gordon, and Michael guess what's inside each one. They are revealed to be clocks, baby rattles, and a talking mama doll, but Molly says she can't guess what's in the last package as it's the quietest. Mr. Hooper opens it and says it's the noisiest of them all: his transistor radio.
