|[[Image:Noimage.png|100px|center]] || <center> '''SCENE 1''' </center> || [[Susan]] welcomes the viewer and notices [[Telly]] dancing with a wedge of cheese. She asks [[Juliet]] what he's doing and she has her go through "The Farmer in the Dell" to figure it out. After singing through the whole song, they get to the verse - "''The cheese danced alone''"; Telly's doesn't want it to dance alone, so he's dancing with it. Susan explains to him the line is "''stands alone''," so Telly stands with the cheese (and Juliet joins him).
