I am at the white chapel dispensery and I am trying to investigate Kurtz's overalls. I have picked up the scissors and tried using them all over the jacket. After feeling stumped I confirmed this is how to progress via the internet however i use the scissors on  the tags and pocket and get the same old "I need something" Can some one please give me either a suggestion to fix this problem or fill me in on something obvios that I may have forgoten to do? Any help would be appreciated.

Did you actually pick up the scissors to cut open those places? I noticed that you only get the "I need something" message if you are simply touching those places without having picked up the scissors that's on the table.
