DAME DOROTHY

BABBO

DAME DOROTHY

What’s in that tart?

BABBO

(Hiding the tart behind her back) Han’t see no tart.

DAME DOROTHY

Babbo, give me that tart.

(Babbo bolts from the room.)

DAME DOROTHY

Babbo! Give me that tart! Babbo!

(She exits in pursuit. Browne moans in his sleep; he wakes up.)

DR. BROWNE

Washed. All washed . . . Up.

Unspool, unclench, I will plant this onion in the earth . . . And go on living . . .

(He strains to push the blockage out. He is stricken by another searing, tearing pain in his gut. He screams, clutches his side.

He opens his eyes again and sees the urn.)

DR. BROWNE

You’ve arrived. Silent urn. Still mouth.

I remember the Capuchin catacombs in Rome. That quiet, that fragile stillness. Those dry, deflated bodies. The disappointed faces of the dead.
