When the scene opens, we are introduced to Mr. Penyal, who has just returned from a trip to the cinema with his younger brother, peng Lu. The two men are taking off peng's clothes, and when the scene ends, Mr. Ganymede, the older man, is still in his old clothes. He tells us that peng has been flirting with him again, and that he is afraid that the two of them will get into an argument. He is also afraid that he will lose his temper if he does not leave peng alone with his sister.
