I admire Mary for being eco-conscious by using paper bags. However, Mary also strikes me as someone that would have a dozen reusable bags in her car.
Tommy is at the wrong place at the wrong time. Let the meddling begin. Maybe she can suggest that he can get over his Brandy doldrums by suggesting karaoke.
Oh no! I thought Mary saw something on the ground, that caused her to exclaim Oh no!, like Tommy passed out on the sidewalk, with Wilbur's bottle of scotch shattered next to him.
Aha! Mary's dirty little secret is out! She likes everyone to think that she buys everything fresh (look, the bread and the celery aren't even packaged) and makes everything from scratch. But there at the bottom of the bag hides the ugly truth: canned processed food! She must buy those out of state so she won't be recognized.
The game is up, Mary. You've been exposed for the non-organic fraud that you are. Unless, of course, you can bribe Tommy to keep his stupid mouth shut.
Not only is Mary’s nose disappearing, but her upper lip is gone as well. Of course, she still looks fairly good for someone who is about 138 years old.
Glad to see Tommy is putting his new found skill of can handling to use in the service of his neighbor. For his next act of kindness, he can accompany Mary home and impress her with his ability to arrange those cans on her shelves!
At least Tommy's not trying to pick up the can using only his thumb and forefinger, which goes against the standard grasping technique that's afflicted Santa Royale. He's such a rebel.

I hope Tommy doesn't hurt himself picking up those cans.
I bet Mary has some very good pork chops in one of those bags!

I like where this is going.

Nice tomatoes, Mary. .
How do we know it's Tommy? His luxurious blond locks aren't hanging down.
Hilarious comments, everyone! I am cracking up reading.
I wonder how Mary was planning to open doors. With her teeth? And where did she get plain, flimsy paper bags - Freda’s? Perhaps spying on Brandy?
This helpful person will fall instantly in love with Mary.
It looks like Mary's wearing a dental appliance-one of those things that prevent damage to the teeth caused by night time grinding.
The bag boy at Food Team should be fired for packing all those heavy cans in one bag.
The presence of celery is a clue: Mary is not exclaiming "Oh, no!" because of falling cans, but because of falling underwear.

Oh no!
I got it!
(Sorry I'm so late!)
Canned tomatoes. Mary is about to make her famous spaghetti muffins. Mmmmm!
