Echoing the Tin Man in The Wizard of Oz, the man now has a heart. He holds the heart in the air, the boy looks at him and then slips it inside the jacket pocket of the dusty man. The boy gives him some coins, and he takes out what appears to be a human heart from a collection in his cart. The pair then come across an ice cream vendor on the street a popular figure easy to find on the streets of some South American cities. The dusty man, boy and dog leave the gymnasium and are followed by the woman who yells after them as they leave. The leader begins yelling at the man, and he puts his fingers in his ears and sings 'La la la' in response to her tirade. The boy then mimes the act of putting his fingers in his ears and singing 'La la la', and the man responds by turning off the volume on the stereo. The boy encourages the man to leave, but he appears reluctant. In the basement of the building, he finds a gymnasium and a scared-looking man who is covered in dust this man looks like a disgraced 'Ekeko.' The man holds a stereo which is providing music for a group of women doing aerobics with one woman who is obviously a leader and abuses both the man and the others since their mascara is running down their cheeks from crying. The boy is walking the dog along a city street, in what is inferred to be La Paz, Bolivia, and he goes into a store front and downstairs. The boy and dog run away and the scene cuts from evening to daytime. Seeing the boy outside, the father picks up an egg from a bird's nest on the window-sill and throws it down at the boy. Running out of the apartment, the boy joins the mysterious figure outside and pets his dog. The boy then puts his fingers in his ears and begins singing 'La la la' in response to his father's outburst. This man could be the representation of the ' Ekeko', a South American figure representative of good luck and abundance. Looking out of his apartment window, he sees an unusually dressed man and his dog standing on the pavement outside.
