The big sister is currently suffering from headaches and facial nerves have been badly damaged by chewing a hazelnut, which has caused her to lose her ability to speak. The director advises the big sister to go to the theater and try her hand at the part. The kid is excited to try his hand at acting, but the director reminds him that the play is a fantasy and that there are "western monsters" in the play. He tells the kid to prepare for his audition at the theater at 1 p.m.
