In this short scene, the audience is introduced to David, the youngest violinist in the world, who is playing the violin in front of a large crowd of people. David is overcome with happiness at the sight of the crowd, which he describes as a "ragtag bunch" of people who have come to see him perform. David's joy is interrupted by the arrival of the "weirdo" violinists, who are clearly from the "periphery" of southeast Asia.
