Act Six Scene II
Narrator: After leaving the hospital Dennis drives back to the funeral home. He is still wondering what is going on at the hospital. Dennis immediately resumes work embalming the body on his work table.
Dennis (to himself): If I put a pot of coffee on now it might keep me awake for several hours yet. I might be able to get my work done by morning and not have to postpone tomorrow’s funeral.
Narrator: Just as Dennis starts working the phone rings.
Nurse Jane: Dennis, I’ve got to talk to you right now. Meet me at Dusty’s Tavern in ten minutes. I can’t say any more on the phone. It could be bugged.
Dennis: Calm down Jane. I’m leaving for Dusty’s right now. Something very weird is going on at the hospital and I think that you may have some of the answers I need.
Narrator: Dennis gets in his hearse and drives to the tavern. As soon as Dennis enters the bar he sees Jane waving to him from the back of the tavern. Floyd is sitting in a stool at the bartender’s front counter talking to Dusty.
Dusty: Aren’t you going to the radio station to do your interview this evening?
Floyd the barber: Well, I’m scheduled to. You know what Dusty? I don’t think I’m even going to show up for my interview tonight.
Dusty: Why not Floyd? I thought you liked Rick and Dwight’s show.
Floyd: I used to, but lately it’s turned into a third rate Jerry Springer show. This afternoon they had this joker on talking about riding in an army truck with a bunch of creatures from outer space. I tell you, man that program’s going to the dogs.
Dusty: That’s why you have to do your interview tonight. You might be able to bring some credibility back to the show.
Floyd: You’re probably right, Dusty. I don’t want to let my fans down.
