(Pyro flicks the lighter and it doesn't light.)
PYRO: It doesn't work.
FLUME: It works, you have to flick it just right, then it ignites with a
really big, sparky flame.
PYRO: Okay!
(Pyro walks off flicking the lighter, which doesn't light on stage.)
DEVILLE: People! People! We go on in 30 minutes! Start getting to your
places!
PYRO: (off stage) Oh, there it goes! Boy that really is a big flame!
SFX 2: "Explosion"
(A huge boom is heard. Smoke and people come staggering out from
behind the stage.)
ALL: (What was that?, Oh my!, etc.)
(Ben comes out with some others.)
BEN: There was some kind of explosion near the pyrotechnics area!
(Pyro staggers out, sooty and smoky.)
FLUME: How could that happen?
PYRO: (he obviously can't hear) Huh? You say something? (speaking too
loudly) Here's your lighter, by the way. It works.
(Bailey comes out.)
BAILEY: The camels have stampeded! The explosion spooked them! They
knocked down the manger and ran off toward the edge of town!
I didn't know camels could run that fast!
(Taylor comes out, drenched. She's holding a doll's dress. As she
does, Bailey answers her cell phone in the background and
pantomimes talking.)
