(The scene opens with the woman slamming the front doors shut behind her as she enters the foyer.)

SEER: (Yells) What are you doing?!

DETECTIVE: (Harshly) Who the hell are you?

COLONEL: (In disbelief) Celine? What are you doing here?

DETECTIVE: "Celine"? How the hell do you know her??

(The COLONEL points his gun at the DETECTIVE again as the BUTLER speaks up)

BUTLER: Madame, I'm afraid you've come at a very inopportune time.

(The COLONEL points his gun at the BUTLER now.)

Something dreadful has happened here.

(You look back at the SEER as the COLONEL points his gun back at the DETECTIVE, who has now lowered his gun.)

SEER: I can see that, and I'm glad I got here before it got any worse.

MAYOR: (Off) It was murder.

(The thunder and lightning picked up again as you look over at the MAYOR. He slowly makes his way to the group.)

And worse yet.. (pauses) the body is missing.

SEER: What? Show me. And don't say that word.

CHEF: What word? Murder? (Thunderclap)

SEER: Yes! That word!

BUTLER: Well, I mean murder (thunderclap) is a rather accurate description of what occur-

SEER: (Moves to the BUTLER and hits him on the shoulder) Do you not see the lightning?!

DETECTIVE: You sayin' it was lightning that murdered (thunderclap) Mark?

COLONEL: Well, mother nature doesn't exactly strike me as having murderous (thunderclap) intent. Unless you count that time I was sucked into the board game: Jumanji and I-
