No gunshots herald his approach. No trademark left behind him when he leaves. The Kid had his fill of notoriety in days gone by - as plenty of empty boots can surely testify. Some say he rides alone. That's the Deadeye Kid.

MUSIC

SOUND BUCKBOARD, HORSES

FANSHAW [straining] I think I can just make out a structure of some sort.

LEM Not much further now.

SULLIVAN Excellent. I am in your debt for all your help in getting me out here.

LEM Woulda been a mite easier if'n you were were saddled, stead of carted. Some of these ruts--

SULLIVAN I've never been much of a horseman. And this is a fairish wagon.

FANSHAW Garish, rather.

LEM Well, I reckon it was cheap.

SULLIVAN Oh, yes. They rented it to me at a very reasonable rate.

FANSHAW Ah, rented. That explains why he has not repainted over the "Piewacket Players" placard on the side.

SULLIVAN I understand a couple of the actors are - um - incarcerated for some while. Renting me the wagon and horses saved them board and stowage. Everyone benefits.

FANSHAW Actually, some of these murals are rather good. If the players are half as talented as their painter, it might be worth seeking out one of their performances.

LEM [dubious] I reckon.

FANSHAW [musing] King Lear. Julius Caeser. Romeo and Juliet. [chuckles] They seem to perform a lot of the classics. Shakespeare.

LEM Mmm.

FANSHAW Did you know that in Shakespeare's day - some 250 years ago - it was illegal for women to perform on the stage?

LEM Hush.

FANSHAW Oh, Lem, do let me impart a little culture for once.

LEM [Annoyed grunt]

FANSHAW Particularly while you cannot argue. As I was saying, back in the day, all the female parts were played by young men.

SULLIVAN Oh, goodness! Look at that!

LEM [eager] Whatsat?

SULLIVAN That's an awfully steep hill up ahead. You think the wagon can manage it?

LEM I reckon so, reverend.

SULLIVAN "Doctor", please. I prefer it as an honorific.

LEM [puzzled] But you're a "man o' god"?

SULLIVAN And a man of science as well. I firmly believe that the church cannot simply deny science, but must embrace it, and hand in hand we shall move forward into the next century!

LEM [dubious] A'right then.

FANSHAW Fervent, isn't he?

SULLIVAN Sorry. I find I must defend myself constantly - both against those who find science and religion incompatible, and against those who pooh-pooh my branch of science entirely.

LEM Oh?

SULLIVAN [defiant] I have made a comprehensive study of the existence of ghosts.

LEM [choking back a cough] OH.

FANSHAW Oh, dear.

M...
