A Neighbor notices how rich Thomas looks and tells another neighbor that she plans on trying to woo him. Thomas overhears them and looks at his many paintings of women. He calls for Pavel and tells him to hang the paintings up and delay the house warming party. Thomas finds dust on the frame of a painting and threatens to fire Pavel. The Barber tells Thomas that everyone from town misses him and he notices that Thomas is never around women. Thomas asks Pavel what has happened in the area lately and Pavel tells him that a Girl and Mother moved in across the way and the Girl called the area depressing.

Thomas gets mad at Pavel for putting sugar in his coffee and then calls him a stupid idiot for breaking the coffee cup. Thomas looks across the way and sees the Girl touching flowers and then looking sad. Thomas continues to spy on the Girl and calls Pavel a stupid idiot and tells him to take away his coffee. Thomas sees the Girl staring at the sun and tells Pavel someone must warn her against it and Pavel tells him that the Girl is blind. The Barber tells Thomas that yesterday he went out with some women and was accused by one of their boyfriends of sleeping with them. He then offers to get him an escort. Thomas hears barrel organ music and calls for Pavel. He looks outside his window and sees the Girl clapping and dancing to the music and he smiles. Pavel shoves Casimir into the apartment and starts yelling at him for allowing the organ grinder into the apartment complex. Thomas tells Casimir that he will reward him for how many organ barrel players he brings to the complex then asks the Barber who the best occulist is.
