SCENE 1 | Grover the Photographer has his camera out, looking for subjects to capture. He sees David and Maria nearby, but they're already engaged in their own photo session. Luis arrives and agrees to have his picture taken, posing in front of the Fix-It Shop. Grover tells him to "watch the birdie" (having heard David say it earlier) and Luis jokingly asks where it is. Grover realizes he doesn't have a birdie and, ever the professional, insists on having one despite Luis' protests. | |
