 	 	 	Dimples? Is that finally you?! 	
 	 	 	Late on opening night! Who hired you? Was it me? We'll be served on a plate to the ravenous masses! With their vicious, quivering jaws... 	
 	 	 	Oh, get to the stage already! They await your opening act! I'm not ready yet... I can't be seen like this! 	
 	 	 	What are you doing here? It's your act! Quickly, before they come for us! 	
 	 	 	If you're here, you're not there. If you're not there, the crowd is waiting! 	
 	 	 	Second act. Should be a breeze. Should be like cake! *nervous laugh* 	
 	 	 	I've practiced this. Just have to go on their cue. Where is it? Where is their cue?! 	
 	 	 	Get to your place! You're ruining us! 	Hushed. Whispering to another actor onstage
 	 	 	Walking up to me? This- This isn't what we rehearsed! 	Hushed. Whispering to another actor onstage
 	 	 	My blood... It flows... so rapidly... 	Woozy from blood loss
 	 	 	Blood for blood. I've paid the price. Please, have mercy! 	Woozy from pain and blood loss
 	 	 	A night of heart-throbbing classics. Where would we be without them? For hundreds of years, art has risked heart and soul, life and limb... 	
 	 	 	So I close with one last visceral threat: the curve of blade to neck... *nervous laugh* ...tantalizingly close. 	
 	 	 	Assistant! Master of laughs! Let loose, and don't you dare gut me! 	
 	 	 	*pained cry* You- You hit me! 	Hit in the arm by a knife in a knife-throwing stunt
 	 	 	This... It isn't at all what it looks like! My costume... The layers... 	
 	 	 	So close! You might have grazed me! 	
 	 	 	*dying shriek* 	
 	 	 	*pained cry* You're doing this on purpose! You're... Oh no. They sent you. And I'm at your mercy... 	Hit in the other arm by a knife in a knife-throwing stunt. Realizing he could die right now
 	 	 	Who else would I be, the Mayor? Yes, I can make jokes too. Ha ha, tee hee! 	
 	 	 	Are you happy now? I have to get ready. And you have to get them ready for me! 	
 	 	 	What am I talking about? What are you talking about? This is your act, your stage, your hour to sparkle and shine! 	
 	 	 	You must make them laugh! Or when I go out there, they'll gut me where I stand! Gore me with their glares, dismember me with their displeasure...	
 	 	 	It's the sacred responsibility of the opening act. I'm doomed already if you don't know it. Oh, I'm doomed, I'm dead where I stand... 	
 	 	 	Not just a show. A masterpiece, an indelible memory! Go now, before our audience turns rabid. They must be starving! 	
 	 	 	Why are you asking me? Everyone knows Evelyn Russo! Oh, how beloved she was... How terrible her humiliation! 	Dramatic, experiencing the humiliation as if it was his known
 	 	 	An artist like her would never accept such a fate... Oh, but that'll be me if you don't get out there soon! Quickly, now! You're ruining us! 	Emphasis on artist (as opposed to some uninspired normie). Suddenly realizing he's being distracted and needs to hurry
 	 	 	Please... Please spare me! It's over now, I've learned my lesson! Never ever! I'll never do it again! 	Desperate and panicked, thinking he's going to die. Stumbling over his words
 	 	 	*hushed* What are you doing? 	Hit in the arm by a knife in a knife-throwing stunt
 	 	 	Oh, it's over, Mother... It's over! How could I have fooled myself? They all see it... I've got to get out of here... Where- Where can I hide?!
