Picture Segment Description

SCENE 1 Gordon encounters The Count waiting at the bus stop. It looks like rain, so the Count asks Gordon to hold his bus while he goes to fetch his umbrella. When the bus gets there, Gordon tells the bus driver (played onscreen by Richard Hunt) to wait for The Count, but they get into an argument about the bus driver's busy schedule. When the Count finally gets back, he doesn’t get on the bus; instead, he counts it as the fifth bus he hasn’t boarded today.
