Oobi, a young disembodied hand creature living in a world not unlike ours but populated with talking disembodied limbs, has a piano recital. He is confident about the recital, and offers his support to Angus, the recital's other performer, who is nervous about going on stage. Angus performs his piece, relieved to have made it through with no problems.

Inca, the piano teacher (also a hand), introduces Oobi, and Oobi confidently goes on stage. He stretches his fingers, then begins to play "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" with one finger. Near the end of the song, Oobi hits a wrong note. Surprised and embarrassed, Oobi eyes the audience, then runs back stage. Inca follows him.

Inca: Oobi? Try again?
Oobi: [scoffing] No way.
I: Why?
O: Oobi mistake!
I: So? Oobi not perfect. Inca not perfect. Nobody perfect.
O: Nobody?
I: Nobody.

[Enter Kako, Oobi's best friend (also a hand).]

Kako: Kako perfect. [laughs]
I: Kako...
K [to Inca]: Um, allow Kako?
I: Oh yes, yes.

[Inca backs away, watches. Kako approaches Oobi, then looks back at Inca.]

K: More?
I: Oh yes, yes.

[Inca leaves.]

K: Oobi?

[Oobi looks away.]

K: Um, Oobi... good. Oobi really good!
O: Oobi mess up!
K: So? No big deal.
O: [incredulously] No big deal?

[Beat.]

K: Birthday, big deal. Lost puppy, big deal... Alien spaceship, really big deal.

[Oobi nods.]

K: Messing up, no big deal.
O: Messing up, no big deal?
K: Mm-mmm. Messing up just... life.
O: Messing up, just life... Huh.
