Noticing that Berenger likes Daisy, Jean takes the opportunity to tell Berenger to stop drinking. Jean stops Berenger from drinking as Daisy arrives at the grocery store next door.

Berenger suggests that it might have come from a zoo or a circus, even though Jean points out that their town has neither. Meanwhile, Jean insists on talking about the rhinoceros, but Berenger isn’t interested. The rhinoceros sent the Housewife’s basket of groceries flying, so she asks the Logician to hold her cat while she repacks her basket. Berenger seems to not see it, but the Waitress, the Grocer, the Housewife, the Grocer’s Wife, and Jean all stand and point at it.Ī Logician, the Old Gentleman, and the Housewife arrive and remark on the rhinoceros. The two discuss where Berenger was last night as a rhinoceros races down the street. Jean insists that everyone has to get used to it. Desperately, Berenger says that he can’t stand working a normal schedule and needs to drink to relax. Jean lists all the ways that Berenger needs to work on his appearance and declares that he’s ashamed to be Berenger’s friend.

Taking issue with Berenger’s clothes, Jean gives him an extra tie, a comb, and a mirror. He makes fun of Berenger for wanting to drink so early in the day, especially when Berenger is hung over. Berenger is unkempt, while Jean wears a neat suit and chastises Berenger for being late. One sunny Sunday, Berenger and Jean meet at a café.
