SCENE 1 Maria puts away her groceries before planning on going to the library with Telly, but notices she's lost her keys. Telly begins to panic as usual, so Maria has him imagine the ways she could find them, such as running around the apartment very quickly or calling a detective (played by Luis). Telly keeps thinking and postulates that the keys might have been knocked to the floor by accident. Sure enough, that's where Maria finds them and Maria compliments Telly for figuring out the problem by using his mind.
