SCENE 2 In the yard, Olivia photographs Biff and Sully. Luis declares that he "messes with photography" once in a while and points out that he wouldn't use that F-stop in this lighting, and he wouldn't use the same film she's using either. A lunch whistle is heard in the distance so Biff and Sully return to work. Luis apologizes for ruining Olivia's photoshoot, but she says she's used to this sort of thing in Detroit. Luis asks why that is, and Olivia explains it's because she worked there for a newspaper; she's a professional photographer.

SCENE 4 After finishing dinner in Gordon and Susan's apartment, Olivia thanks them for the meal and announces that she's going out. Gordon asks with whom, and where she'll be going. She says that Luis and Mr. Hooper are taking her to a movie and they're going to show her around the neighborhood. When Gordon asks what time she'll be home, and continues to prod, Olivia fires back that she's a grown-up now and doesn't need supervision.

Gordon, as her big brother, continues to argue about the subject until Susan interjects and asks how old he thinks Olivia is now and what he was doing at that age. He says Olivia must be about twenty-five now, and that when he was that old, he had just left the army, was dating Susan and working as a teacher. Susan asks how he'd have felt if, at that age, he had a big brother telling him what to do. She tells them that if they don't kiss and make up, she'll move them both in with Oscar the Grouch.
