Q

FREDDIE: I just don’t want anything to happen to you.

Pg. 48

A

CHRISTINE: Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. Think about it. If I’m being targeted for murder, the best thing to do is to leave me alone as bait.

Q

FREDDIE: The only problem is you WILL be out here ALONE. No one will be here to protect you.

Pg. 48

A

CHRISTINE: I can protect myself. When you get into the hallway, make sure everyone knows that you’re going to bed and that I’m in here all by myself.

Q

FREDDIE’S VOICE: (OFFSTAGE. Loud, as if he is making a point to be heard.) Well, good night, dear. I’ll be sleeping in our room if you need me.

Pg. 48

A

CHRISTINE: (Loud.) Sweet dreams, sugar bear. (Normal. To herself.) Now, I just need to wait. (Walks to the bookshelf and picks up a book. SOUND EFFECT: THUNDER. Jumps, startled, and then sits in the main seating area.)

Q

JOSIE: (Approaches CHRISTINE and BEATRICE.) Stop! This is only for protection! You don’t think I would walk around alone without some sort of self-defense, do you? YOU might try to hurt ME.

Pg. 49

A

CHRISTINE: Oh, that ridiculous! How on earth could I hurt you? (CONNIE and BEATRICE look at the lamp in CHRISTINE’S hands.) Oh. (Sets lamp down.)

Q

JOSIE: I think it was all a big misunderstanding. I accidentally frightened Christine, and then Beatrice and Connie came out of the kitchen. And–

Pg. 50

A

CHRISTINE: And I guess everyone came to see what all the noise was. And it caused a big commotion. And… (Notices COSTUMED GUEST.) Which comic book character are you supposed to be now, Mr. Jacobs?

16
Q

FREDDIE’S VOICE: (OFF UP LEFT.) Christine, is everything all right out there?

Pg. 50

A

CHRISTINE: (To EVERYONE.) You all better get back to your rooms. If Freddie sees you out here, he’s going to be really mad.

17
Q

FREDDIE: Are you alright? I thought for sure with all of that noise I’d come out and see you wrestling with the murderer.

Pg. 51

A

CHRISTINE: Oh, everything was fine. Connie just had a little accident with a piece of cake, that’s all. I guess we’re no closer to catching the murderer than we were at the start.

18
Q

FREDDIE: I think we should take our own advice, return to our room and wait until morning. By then, the storm should be over.

Pg. 51

A

CHRISTINE: I suppose you’re right. We amateurs will never figure out who is murdering the family and writing those creepy poems.

19
Q

FREDDIE: (As if he has had a stroke of genius.) The poems. That’s it. That’s it! I know who the murderer is!

Pg. 51

A

CHRISTINE: You do?

20
Q

FREDDIE: I can’t believe I didn’t realize this sooner.

Pg. 51

A

CHRISTINE: Who is it?

21
Q

FREDDIE: …Good! Now, Marty, you play the murderer again, and Minnie will play Christine.

Pg. 53

A

CHRISTINE: (Quietly, to FREDDIE.) Sweetie pie, there hasn’t–

22
Q

BEATRICE: If you murder all of us, you’ll be responsible for even more deaths.

MARTY: And who’s going to tell on me?

SUZANNE: He brings up a good point.

Pg. 54

A

CHRISTINE: Why did you murder Aunt Gretchen?

23
Q

MARTY: Maybe this will help you. (Grabs towel from CONNIE and wipes off his white face makeup. He crosses to CHRISTINE.) Do you recognize me?

Pg. 54

A

CHRISTINE: No.

24
Q

MARTY: That’s exactly the problem. I’m your cousin Marty.

FREDDIE: Another relative?

Pg. 54

A

CHRISTINE: Cousin Marty. You mean Aunt Henrietta’s son? I didn’t know you were in show business.

25
Q

MARTY: You didn’t know me at all. Nobody ever took the time to know me.

Pg. 54

A

CHRISTINE: (To FREDDIE.) Many years ago, back when I was only four or five, Aunt Henrietta had a falling out with her four sisters. No one has spoken to or about Aunt Henrietta or her husband or her son since. (To MARTY.) I haven’t seen you since you were just a little boy. How have you been?

26
Q

MARTY: Not bad. Yourself?

Pg. 55

A

CHRISTINE: Fine, thank you.

27
Q

MARTY: …I decided it was time to get revenge on the very people who made me feel so rotten for all those years.

Pg. 55

A

CHRISTINE: So it’s true. You were planning to murder me next.

28
Q

MARTY: Yes. In fact, I’m going to do that right now. (Points gun at CHRISTINE.)

Pg. 55

A

CHRISTINE: Isn’t there any way we can work this out? Haven’t you heard of the win-win guidelines?

29
Q

MARTY: it’s too late for that.

Pg. 55

A

CHRISTINE: Somebody do something.

30
Q

JOSIE: I can’t believe my life has just been saved by Princess Gracie Gumdrop.

FREDDIE: (To CHRISTINE.) Are you all right?

Pg. 55

A

CHRISTINE: I’m fine.

31
Q

RHONDA MAE: We’ll be giving up a fortune, but it’s worth it. (She and CARLA JO EXIT DOWN RIGHT, dragging MARTY. MINNIE and MILLIE mime crying as MARTY is carried out.)

Pg. 56

A

CHRISTINE: (Looks out the window.) The storm seems to be subsiding.

32
Q

CONNIE: Can I get anyone else anything?

Pg. 56

A

CHRISTINE: I think we’ll be fine dear.

33
Q

LOLA: You know, Mr. Jacobs, I have always found a man in uniform to be quite attractive.

Pg. 57

A

CHRISTINE: Oh, brother.

34
Q

LOLA: Maybe I could show you a few stitches.

COSTUMED GUEST: Only if I can show you a few uniforms.

Pg. 57

A

CHRISTINE: Sounds like a perfect match.

35
Q

LOLA: How about a little huggsie? (FREDDIE looks at CHRISTINE, pleading.)

Pg. 57

A

CHRISTINE: Go on.

36
Q

FREDDIE: Well, this has certainly been an interesting start to our honeymoon.

Pg. 57

A

CHRISTINE: Yes. Look at the wonderful family you’ve married into. (Kisses FREDDIE.) Well, what’s left of it!
