Scene 4 (Dusty steps forward to talk to the audience.) DUSTY: Well, two days until Christmas, and Incarnation's celebration plans are moving forward like a runaway train! Only thing we don't have yet are the bulbs for Curly's Star of Bethlehem. But the Stationmaster promises us they'll be here in time. What am I doin' out here? Just … waitin' for the fireworks! (Dusty nods to two people coming before he runs to hide. Mrs. Sneef comes out from behind a barrel.) MRS. SNEEF: Shhh! Yer makin' more noise than a cat fight! (Elvin and Jane arrive on the scene.) ELVIN: There you are! I hope we got that trap set right. If the Lonesome Stranger goes for the bait, we got him! JANE: For shore that net'll fall on him, and if we get him we'll hear that bell ring. SFX 3: "Bell Ringing" (At that very moment, they hear a bell ringing loudly from the opposite side of the stage. Everyone on stage responds with surprise and excitement as Jane, Elvin and Mrs. Sneef run offstage and immediately return with someone caught in a net. The captive is walking and stumbling, his back is mainly to the audience and he can't be seen clearly.) SHERIFF: (under the net) Let me go! ALL THREE: (ad lib.) We got 'im! We got 'im! We got the Lonesome Stranger! (The photographer rushes forward, setting up the camera.) MRS. SNEEF: Now, Mr. Lonesome Stranger, it's time to find out what you look like! For Preview Only
