Scene 5
STORMIE: Stormie Skye here, and it is opening night in Centerton! You can
cut the excitement with a knife. Never before has Centerton, or
any town like it, put so much into such a production. Cecil V.
DeVille is about to make theater history!
DEVILLE: Places everybody!
BRIGGS: It is so exciting to be backstage before our historic production!
FLUME: It is so gratifying to see what the three of us have been able to
accomplish together! (hugs DeVille and Briggs to either side of
him)
DEVILLE: Pyrotechnics wrangler!
PYRO: Pyrotechnics reporting, Mr. DeVille.
DEVILLE: Great to work with you again, Pyro! Are we ready with the
explosions for the super nova of Bethlehem?
TAYLOR: (to Bailey) Super nova?
BAILEY: Yes, Mr. DeVille thought that a "star" just seemed too boring.
But a "super nova," an exploding star …
TAYLOR: (interrupting) You've got to be kidding me.
DEVILLE: So, all the explosives are back stage and ready to go, Pyro?
PYRO: Yep! Piles of 'em. Just laying out in the open. Lots of explosives
with fuses on them just waiting for a match. All I have to do is
get them on stage and light them off when you tell me too!
DEVILLE: Excellent!
PYRO: Anybody have a flashlight? It's pretty dark back stage and my
flashlight seems to have gone out.
FLUME: No, but I've got this really big lighter.
PYRO: Oh, perfect! Thanks Mayor Flame, I mean, Flume.
