Burt-Dee-Micah
Marty
100

Who is the first character on stage and from where does this character come from?

Agatha comes in through the door (upstage center right).

100

Where does Karen stand after she and her group comes onto the stage?

She stands center stage and lets everyone else perform a room check.

100

Don't, Marty.

No... you we won't kill. You we can lock in the cooler. Micah...

100

Who does Marty tell to grab Agatha's hand?

Micah

100

Marty?

Agatha. Hey. It's me. Open up.

200

After Burt crosses the stage to push the undead into the wings, who crosses downstage?

Agatha crosses downstage to push the undead attacking Karen.

200

What is Agatha's cue and where does she go offstage when she changes into a long sleeve? 

The lights leading to the "back" turn on and she goes offstage center left.

200

They would want you to live too. It's our duty to survive.

So do it then, Karen.

200

Who comes back in FIRST right before the undead attack?

Dee

200

She's a good person. You should be proud.

Don't talk about her like you know her. You sent her out there, alone. 

300

Who leaves after the undead attack and in what order?

Dee and Micah leave through the upstage door followed by Burt.  

300

She's not cold. It's been nearly an hour, maybe more. And she's as warm as you and me.

(Micah goes over to Agatha. She reaches out her hand. Agatha takes her hand. Micah looks up at Agatha, a smile on her face.)

300

You're already dead. I'm just trying to save us.

I feel... I feel okay. Maybe we should just... wait.

300

I've never seen it take longer than an hour.

I've seen it take minutes.

300

I didn't say I liked it. But it's what has to be done.

Then you'll have to kill me too.

400

Who checks the door and window post-attack?

Dee and Burt

400

What 2 lines does Karen need to fall on her knees after?

Marty: Not me... And not Agatha either...

Karen: I...

400

So why don't you tell us what really happened? And then we'll all eat together. Maybe even get some sleep.

We've been in my parents' house the whole time. Until this morning. 

400

She could turn any minute now.

Maybe we can just like... tie her up or something.

400

This isn't personal. It's just survival.

You have other options. You just want what's easy.

500

What line does everyone raise their weapon against Karen?

Dee: Check yourself, Karen. Or we're gonna have to check you.

500

When Karen is helped up and Micah says her line, what does everyone do?

Karen stays in her spot looking at them and everyone else takes a step back.

500

He was--

I asked him.

500

(Micah approaches Marty, brandishing her weapon.)

Don't be stupid.

500

If one of us has to crawl through the mud, we all do.

That's right... Cause killing someone is just like getting a little muddy.
