ENTERTAINER (emerging from backstage): Yeah, what the hell is going on?

ENTERTAINER looks at the ceiling and screams.

CHAMPION: What’s going on is a woman is dead.
CHAMPION: And we're all that remains with the body.
WATCHER: I know it's your nature, brute, but don't be daft. That woman ain’t dead, she’s been killed-
CHAMPION (furious, balling hands up): Semantics? Now?
WATCHER (ignoring the interruption): - and we ain't moving an inch ‘till we find out who was cause for the effect.
STRANGER (offstage): I’ll tell you who did the killin’.
