SCENE 4 Gina and Telly are the first to arrive for the show-and-tell. Telly has brought a box of items to choose from, including a triangle and a pencil sharpener. Since Gina knows what both of those things are, he rules out the use of those, thinking they won't be as interesting as the other stuff that will be shown and told about today. He finds a strange-looking object that neither he nor Gina can identify, so he rules that out as well.
