Scene 5
(Dusty walks forward to speak to the audience.)
DUSTY: Well, it's Christmas Eve and the service is about to
start! Everybody's pretty excited, 'cept Curly the
Barber. Her bulbs haven't got here yet and she's only
got one train left … and it's comin' into the station right
now!
SFX 4: "Train Arriving"
(A train whistle announces the arrival of the train as a
porter enters from the train depot carrying a package
marked "Fragile! Special Delivery!")
STATIONMASTER: (yelling into the Barber Shop) Whatcha doing just sittin
in yer shop, Curly? Arise! Shine! For your light bulbs
have come!
(Curly comes running out of the shop, excited. A customer
runs out of the shop with shaving cream on his face and a
Barber's apron on.)
CURLY: I don't believe it! There's no time to waste!
(Curly grabs the package from the porter and runs back
into her shop, followed by her customer. A loud ruckus is
heard offstage as three unfamiliar cowboys and the
Blacksmith, Mrs. Sneef, and Jane come in.)
ELVIN: Depity! We caught these desperados comin' off the
train!
DEPUTY: Desperados?
MRS. SNEEF: Bandits fer sure!
STATIONMASTER: Don't look much like bandits!
ELVIN: Well, it's three cowpokes, and they ain't from around
here! And they're wearing black hats!
COWPOKE 1: Howdy y'all!
