SCENE 1 | At the Fix-it Shop, Buffy looks on as Luis finishes fixing Gordon's record player. Just as Luis tests it out, Gordon comes in with one of his records to play on it. They groove to the music on his record, then Luis turns on the radio to show them the Latin rock music he likes. Buffy sings a little of one of her simpler native Cree songs, which she comments isn't listened to as much as the others' favorite music. Each of the three has differing opinions on what music they like, but Oscar comes in and tells them that all of their music is the best and has them all play their music at once. As the others cringe, Oscar states "Now that is what I call... all of it is the best!" |
