(The congregation of HAVOC TOWN is illuminated in mourning.)

MINISTER: Brothers and sisters, tonight we’ve lost two saints of Missouri: our Sheriff-Coroner and his wife, Vesta, are dead. Sheriff Quimby and his kin have kept our town safe from evil for more than a few generations ... and Vesta? Well, to know Vesta Quimby was to love her. Let’s pray.

(Music and a train thunder forward.)

PAPER MAN: Minister, their girl? She murdered ‘em?

MINISTER: Yes. Now I’ve to look after their coffins.

PAPER MAN: Damn sinful, a girl killing the two people who adopted her as their own.

DOTTIE: Can we see ‘em, Reverend?

MINISTER: Not much left of them, I’m afraid. But rest assured they’ll get a right burial in Jefferson, like they deserve.

JACK K.: (Opens a flask.) Ol’ reaper ... he’s a tricky devil.

2ND TRAMP: Jack, you been around Havoc town too much. You know things nobody knows. So, is it true, what they say Willa done?

JACK K.: It’s true I been all around this country — some Mexico, too — and I tell you, somethin’s not right about this town ... Havoc just brings you back. As for those Quimbys, they’re dead all right. And our Willa, she is responsible.

Met her along this rail my first time in Havoc, well before “Vesta Quimby” took her in. By then, poor kid‘d lost almost everybody — her Ma, her Pa, plus two brothers. Ol’ Reaper got ‘er good.

QUIMBY: Then what about workin’ on us for a bit? I miss you, V. We haven’t hit the sack in three months.

VESTA: I love you now as I ever did. I’m not getting younger! And with your re-election coming up, charity prints big in the paper —

But doctor says you’re going to be just fine in a few weeks. Sheriff-Coroner Quimby here and I, we’ve adopted you. J., say hi to your new daughter!

QUIMBY: (Can’t even look at her, ugh.) She’s your dog, V.

WILLA: (Struggles out of bed.) Daughter? No, ma’am, I’m Ruth Franks’s daughter. See, my brother’s comin’ back — ‘n we’ve got plans ... our life’s on the road.

VESTA: A life’s in a house!

WILLA: Road life ain't like your life. For tramps, every day’s a workin’ holiday. Free as you please — only job is survivin’. And that's how it'll be every day for always when George gets back — like heaven in real time —

WILLA: Yeah it don’t feel great.

VESTA: Now, if it would make you feel square to repay my kindness with work, then that’s how it’ll be. You don’t have to take the dress I sewed you, it wasn’t that hard to make! We’ll set you up in the cellar, and you can clean, and tidy up, whatever makes you feel comfortable.

WILLA: What do I get?

VESTA: (Looks up, pointing.) You get someone real powerful watching over you for always.

WILLA: You mean — God?

VESTA: And Jesus and all of the Angels. You have to say an awful lot of yeses though!

WILLA: And? That’s it?! His letters are too short! I been listenin’ to the radio every night this week for word about George comin’ back, but the news man hasn’t said nothin’ for two weeks.

VESTA: Willa, I was thinking tomorrow we could look at dresses in town? You’re seventeen now, and you’ve been wearing that old thing every day since two Christmases ago. You’ve outgrown it and it smells!

WILLA: Mrs., you’ll never see me in a dress!

VESTA: You also said you’d only play Monopoly as the damn Scottie dog. People change —

WILLA: Oh, it’s just a game, Mrs.

VESTA: Life’s a game Willa, and I just want to help you win! Stop chewing your hair.

WILLA: But when George comes back, any day now, I won’t need help anymore. World ain’t all rich hats and poor dogs.

VESTA: Sometimes it feels like you’ve just been making the best of a bad situation. Like you’re just day-counting till your brother’s back.

WILLA: It’d be nice to see George again, he’s the only family I’ve got. The way I feel, it’s a mess of love.

RADIO: You just heard “We Could Have a Life, Couldn’t We?” by Mercy Crane. It’s been two months since the Japanese surrender, our Missouri boys are comin’ home. Boys from the 71st, 72nd, and 73rd infantries have been discharged and make landfall tomorrow morning. Just in time, too, for the County Exposition. Now up, here’s the Daybreak Boys with their signature song.

QUIMBY: Well hullo, you.

WILLA: Uh. Hello Sheriff. Had too much to drink at your re-election fundraiser?

QUIMBY: Naw. Had too much to drink before the fundraiser.

WILLA: Oh. Bet the Mrs. woulda liked to go.

QUIMBY: Nah. Tonight was boys-only.

WILLA: Seems in politics, it’s mostly boys-only.

QUIMBY: V.’s contributions are more ... behind-the-scenes. I see you’ve got a guest.

VESTA: I can surely make the 10 o’ clock but the noon may be trickier.

MR. PARRIS: Vesta, Mrs. Parris just sprayed the last of that delicious scent you made. Tobacco and oakmoss, who’d have thought!

BRASS: Look at your estate. Your acreage is three times the size of the largest in Havoc.

VESTA: That was inherited by my husband.

BRASS: Which is why he has no ethic for hard work. These otherwise good men your husband’s officers seek to arrest are hoboes — the hardest working men in this country. I know, because I was once one of them. And though I’ve long given up the tramp life for Havoc roots, I have never lost sight of the hobo philosophy: “one for one.” Give what you get.

VESTA: I’m familiar with the phrase.

BRASS: Well, to see all that you have, from the bill of your Saturday hat to the heel of your walking shoe, all one has to look at to know the true extent of your generosity is your poor, poor daughter.

WILLA: Thank you, Sheriff.

QUIMBY: You seen the Freak show yet? You wanna go? I mean you don’t have to —

WILLA: Sheriff. You wanna spend time? With me?

QUIMBY: It might seem unlike me. Guess recently, I felt sorta like a new man! Besides, ain’t much like you to put on such a dress, but ... like a butterfly.

WILLA: Mrs. — Mother. — I think I’ve got a ghost.

VESTA: (Beat, then sharp relief.) Haven’t you ever seen a spirit before? All kids see spirits! It’s the old folks who can’t. Guess the closer you get to becoming one, the harder it is to see them. WILLA: You’ve seen spirits?

VESTA: Of course! Used to talk to my mother all the time when I needed advice. She was a very angry spirit though, so her solutions weren’t always practical. A spirit’s nothin’ to be afraid of, just a soul driftin’ free through our livin’ world.

VESTA: Why? Just because I don’t believe in God, Jesus, or follow any of the commandments? To be fair, wasn’t crazy for my mother’s Injun gods, either. May not believe in much specific, but I got faith in people, I’ve devoted my life to their study, and that’s a kind of worship.

WILLA: Anyway.

WILLA: You lied about George, all that time!

VESTA: — ‘N now you come hollerin’ at me, the one who saved your life? After you refuse to do me one last favor? Well you just reminded me of all your debts. (Pulls WILLA’s $100 from her bosom.)

WILLA: I owe you nothing.

LORAMAE: Exactly. Maybe something’s happened with J.? You hear all the shooting?

SADIE: John Brass called ‘em in I’m sure. He led that march right through town, got everyone real riled up!

SADIE: What? Ugh, well — oh foot.

LORAMAE: Tell me what you see?!

SADIE: I’m lookin’! Nothin’! The lights are all off. It is two in the morning.

LORAMAE: Booooooo. The boys from Everett are gettin’ in their car. Drivin’ off. SADIE: You know Vesta, she’s always takin’ care of things.

VESTA: (Pushes Hatless into the hole.) I figured one step at a time! J., think straight! Think of what you’ve done, how you killed poor Dick Hatless, shootin’ bottles like a fool! Ugh, he reeks!

QUIMBY: It was an accident!

VESTA: (Pours perfume bottles into the trap.) No one will believe that, dear. It’s already far-fetched that I found him nightwalking!

QUIMBY: Yeah, that is far-fetched. What were you really doing out there?

VESTA: Focus, J.! Willa bein’ gone is a good, good thing. I put off those police from Ev’rett for now, but everybody’s getting black eyes for us! Look at me! We got enemies.

QUIMBY: No no we got to find her, is what!

VESTA: You fool, that girl was on her way out the day she climbed those front steps! Can’t you see with her gone, things can go back to normal?

QUIMBY: Normal? Normal!? You think anything about this is normal? It’s all lost V.! It’s lost. I just wanna go away again ...

VESTA: J., look, I made you a grilled cheese. And see, whiskey! Ooh ... (Dips the sandwich into a tumbler.) Don’t that look good? QUIMBY: While I was haulin’ in a dead body, you were flippin’ a grilled cheese!?

RADIO: An alert to the counties of Madison, Iron, Jefferson and St. Francois: Missouri deputies are searching for the daughter of Sheriff-Coroner James Harris Quimby, allegedly kidnapped from her home by a sex-crazed soldier-gone-mad. The two are likely traveling by train and may be camping out. A reward is being offered to anyone who can help ...

(SKEET eyes WILLA and EUGENE as the radio fades off. TRAMPS hole up before an old school bus, years unused; one arrives with stew. A fire has been set as JACK K. sings a cappella.)

(Amidst the ashes appears GEORGE’s spirit. WILLA feels his presense without looking at him.)

WILLA (CONT.): George.

GEORGE: Yeah, Willa.

WILLA: What happens when we die.

GEORGE: We die.

WILLA: ... How is it? GEORGE: Not s’ bad. Livin’s just more fun.

WILLA: She’s so strong, George. She’s got power in places folks can’t even see. And she’s so smart. Me, I’m just a dumbshit hillbilly. No. Worse, I’m just a dog.

GEORGE: Ev’ry dog in a house gets put down some time or other. So you gonna get put down?

WILLA: No, George, but —

GEORGE: Then you got some changin’ to do.

WILLA: But how can I fight her?!

GEORGE: You don’t fight her. Fight between a dog and a crocodile ain’t no more fair than a one between a dog and a rat. So now’s a time to get clever. To get smart. To get away. ‘Cuz it’s better to be a fox in a hole, than a dog in a house. Now are we dogs or are we foxes?

(The door opens and it’s VESTA with soup. GEORGE fades away.)

VESTA: Afternoon, et cetera.

WILLA: Did you kill Eugene?

VESTA: Now, we are law-abidin’ folks, Willa. He got ornery, so he’s black and blue, but — I think he’ll walk. My, it’s real tough luck lovin’ you, isn’t it? Seems like everyone you get close to ... ends up in a real bad way. Your family, your poor brother, your soldier boy — why, even Dick Hatless over there.

WILLA: I was protecting myself.

VESTA: Well don’t worry; Sheriff and I took care of the body.

WILLA: Once this party tonight is done, you’ll have me dead.

VESTA: You’ve got it all wrong. See, you’ve been quite a resource of late now ev’ryone thinks my poor little daughter has gone crazy? Broken to loony little pieces over bein’ kidnapped ‘n all?

WILLA: Gee that’s funny, ‘cuz I never been more right-minded.

VESTA: Willa you listen. Things’ve changed. Mrs. Slaughter has convinced her husband to attend tonight’s party.

WILLA: The Governor? How’d you manage that? Oh, why even ask.

VESTA: You managed it. Only thing better than you gettin’ lost was you gettin’ found. It’s a “Welcome Back Willa” party now. News was crawlin’ out of the state, and everyone got real interested. It’s a big deal and now this could be my chance!

WILLA: What’s in the other hand, Mrs.

(AGATHA QUIMBY appears, curious. WILLA watches her.)

VESTA: You just gotta play your part, be my little crazy, and guess what? We’ll be gone. No more Sheriff, no more this, hell you and your beau can even make a go, everybody wins! All you have to do is play a little part.

WILLA: You want me to be crazy.

VESTA: This wood wasn’t grown for tough bitches like us, Willa. Us girls gotta stick together, and get the hell out. Okay?

WILLA: ... All right.

VESTA: Good. I’ll come back for you at first-dark. Oh — and in case you think of trying something funny ... (Pulls a bottle from her bosom.) This here is pure nicotine. One drop will make you real sick. Three drops, that’ll kill ya, and no one will know a thing. If I were you, I’d keep myself real indispensible.

(GOV. SLAUGHTER snags a cocktail from a passing waiter.)

MRS. SLAUGHTER: Bruce, tonight’s a “no-drinking” night.

WILLA: I’ve been waiting for this.

(MRS. SLAUGHTER watches, pleased. VESTA and GOV. SLAUGHTER.)

GOV. SLAUGHTER: This “Ruby Fizz” is all gin.

VESTA: Two shots. And I caught you stealing a three-four from your breast pocket flask — and once you’re done with that, we’ll get ya a five-six-seven-eight.

GOV. SLAUGHTER: Ha, you sound like you wanna dance.

(THEY do.)

VESTA: Oh, Governor Slaughter, I heard you were a marvelous dancer! In fact, two of your mistresses — Marlene Evans and a Gertrude Rosenbloom — said they learned the mambo from you! Oh, don’t stop ...

GOV. SLAUGHTER: What do you want? If it’s an endorsement, John Brass has already got my ear.

VESTA: Give it all to Brass. The Quimbys are looking to move on. I’m sure you could find some nothing position for the Sheriff in Jefferson, and perhaps even I could be near to fill your cup from time to time. Whaddya say, Chief?

(WILLA rests her head on QUIMBY’s chest as they dance. MRS. SLAUGHTER returns to her husband.)

GOV. SLAUGHTER: Becky! Your friend Vesta and I were just chatting about her husband’s future.

MRS. SLAUGHTER: Ooh, I love the future!

VESTA: Yes, your husband mentioned a cabinet position soon to come available.

GOV. SLAUGHTER: Cabinet?

VESTA: Gertrude?

MRS. SLAUGHTER: I’m sorry?

GOV. SLAUGHTER: Yes, a cabinet position.

VESTA: And an assistant spot for me! To start.

MRS. SLAUGHTER: Assistant? Oh, of course, someone to manage all of his affairs!

MRS. SLAUGHTER (CONT.): “Tonight, as we do every year, we come together to consider those who are not as fortunate as we to be blessed with a life’s worth of a mother and a father. No matter the cause or circumstance of orphanhood, our Lord has selected these brave young soldiers to shoulder the burden of those above them. For we must see that our joys are their miseries. And how can it be so, in this, a new era of freedom and of international liberty? How can the orphan remain underfoot when, they above all deserve reparations?” ... Willa?

JACK K.: (Lights a cigarette.) It don’t seem that way. But if not here ... then in the After, we get what our story’s earned. And our Willa ... she’ll get what she deserves. As for us, we’ll only get half for the shit job we did nailing those lids tight.

1ST TRAMP: Jack K., the Quimbys ain’t in those coffins, are they?

JACK K.: They sure ain’t. Farewell, my Willa — you’ll be my greatest tale.
