[Guest guest]

One hears the lonely echoing sound of a door opening and closing offstage.

Then, the sound of footsteps echoing across the stage, and

largely empty theatre, darkened. Now standing upon center stage, the

lady calls out into the vast emptiness, " IS ANYONE STILL HERE?!! "

ECHO ECHO ECHO.

AHEM. If ANYone IS still here, then perhaps we SHOULD take this time

to do what Alyce asked earlier------GOSSIP ABOUT THE ONES

WHO AREN'T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kidding. JUST kidding.

But oh my. Is THIS an empty theatre or what?!!

" And Alyce and Fred, are we three the ONLY ones STILL

here?!! " she yells out across the darkened theatre. Then turns, stage

right, walking back across the silent, darkened stage, the sound of

her footsteps, echoing, echoing, echoing. Then we hear the sound of a heavy

door opening and shutting, its' sound echoing further into THE SILENCE.
