SCENE 1 Luis, Susan and Gordon hear rock music coming from inside Hooper's Store. They walk in and find Mr. Hooper dressed like the young, hip crowd of today (wearing a wig, jeans, and a Farrah Fawcett t-shirt). They ask him to turn down the loud music, and he explains that he’s trying to keep up with the times, since he’s so old now. They tell him they like him just the way he is, and he admits that he feels silly dressing and acting like someone he isn't. He agrees with the group to just be himself and goes home to change his clothes... riding a motorcycle to get there!
