She puts the "nose," "ear," "cheek," and "finger" labels in the right places, but Forgetful lets her have his spare “nose” sign. |

SCENE 2 | Telly wants to play catch with Oscar, and knocks on Oscar's trash can twice. Oscar first tells him to go away, then explains that he requires a special “let’s play catch” knock in order to play: three knocks, with a pause between the second and third knock. Telly thinks it’s easy, but during the pause Oscar tells him to go away, and Telly realizes the knock is rigged against him - the first two knocks are Oscar's "go away" knock, so he never gets to finish the "playing catch" knock. He suspects Oscar might not be his best friend after all, but changes his mind when he remembers that Oscar let him in on the secret knock. Telly then designates a special "my best friend" knock for him and Oscar, who realizes he's in trouble once Telly starts repeating it for him. |
