Minimal furniture and a

Small bathroom. Clothes are thrown about the floor. Empty

Beer bottles lay on a table next to the bed.

AT RISE:
Dee, Lilly, Carmen, and Willy lay

About the room relaxed and half dressed.

(Lily sits up and looks at the bucket that held the beer.)

Lily

Aint no more suds.

Carmen

Told you all not to drink it too fast. Aint you all know how to savor something?

Willy

I’ll show you savor come here.

(As he grabs carmen by the arm and pulls her down on top of him. Carmen pushes him away as she goes to stand up.)

Carmen

You got a one-track mind, you know that?

Lilly

Come on Willy, go get us girl some more suds please?

(Lilly asked seductively).

Dee

Like hell he will. He is liable to get sidetracked if he go alone. I’ll go.

(Dee starts putting on her dress and shoes and heads out the door.)

Willy

Either way works for me ladies. Now where was I?

(Lilly and willy go back to enjoy each other’s affections. While carmen rolls her eyes and walks in the bathroom to clean up.)

(Dee returns a few minutes later with the beer.)

Dee

They got gambling up there.

(Carmen walks out of the bathroom and sits on a chair.)

Carmen

That safe? Gambling means mobsters and mobsters means problems.

Lilly

(Lilly and Willys ears perked up they were both paying close attention now and looking a little worried.)

Should we pack up and get out of here? I aint in the mood for trouble.

Dee

I don’t know yet. Town seems small enough. I say we play it by ear and check it out. This aint Chicago after all. How bigtime could they be?

Carmen

Suppose so. But I’m bringing my piece. I don’t want to risk it.

Willy and Lilly at same time

ME too!

(Dee gets up, checks her gun in the holster and starts to walk to the bathroom to get her evening clothes on. Just as she is about to close the bathroom door she turns around.)

Dee

Well, we had best be getting ready then ladies. If what sally says is true, I’m sure a lot of men in this town that could use some help empty those heavy wallets of theirs. Willy you will play security keep your eyes open while me and girls survey the room to see if its worth the job. Make sure no familiar faces pop up in the crowd.

Willy

(Willy shrugged and rolled his eyes.)

Whatever you say toots.

(Scene ends as all four start getting up and getting ready for the evening.)

Scene 4

Setting:
A smokey back room in the back of the lodge. With a casino like atmosphere.

AT rise:
15 to 20 Men sit around card tables smoking. Mostly in overalls. 3 beautiful women walk around in low cut tight dresses serving drinks. While Sally sits at a bar nursing a glass of home-made gin in the corner watching the room.

(Our four main characters enter. Dressed to impress and curious Willy and carmen look over and spot Sally by the bar. Low cut dress and looking bored.)

Carmen

It would appear that Sally is not the dame we thought she was.

Willy

(Smiles a sly grin and looks her up and down.)

Indeed, she aint.

(Catches her eye as he starts walking towards her. Carmen and dee pull him back to try to restrain him. Sally approaches them before they can redirect his attention.)

Sally

Glad you could come

(Sally touches him gently on his shoulder and smiles flirtingly.)

Willy

Glad I could make it sweetheart.

(Willy goes to get closer to Sally as Carmen grabs him by the arm.)

Carmen

Walk with me and the girls to the bar.

(Sally rolls her eyes and walks in the other direction goes back to her seat.)

(As soon as out of earshot of Sally.)

Dee

You leave that woman alone. You are going to cause all kinds of problems for us.

Willy

I can’t ever talk to her?

Dee

Yes, you can but that’s all. Me and the girls were thinking maybe we relieve them of the burden of all that cash they got. We need you to make her a non-problem.

Lilly

A girl can always use a little more cash. (giggles)

Willy

I don’t understand?

Dee

(Wrapping her arms around willy and smiling so not to draw suspicion.)

Take her too the cabin and put her in an endless sleep.

Willy

I don’t understand?

Lilly

(Rolls her eyes and sighs annoyed.)

Kill her and don’t use a gun. Geez even I aint that dumb.

(Willy returns the annoyed look back and shakes his head.)

Willy

Can I have a little fun first?

Carmen

I suppose so, but don’t be all day about it. When you’re done, bring the car around to the front. Come back to the back room and bring the tommy gun and come in firing, and willy remember, don’t shoot me, lil or dee!

Willy

(with more then a bit of annoyance)

I know that!

Wahoo how about you get up and get us a drink to celebrate sweetheart?

Sally

Sounds good to me sugar.

(Sally walks to a counter to grab some home-made gin. Brings its over to willy. Hands him the glass and raises hers to toast. As she sits on his lap.)

Here’s to Freedom Sugar. Sweet sweet freedom.

Willy

(Returns the toasts. Both take a drink. Then willy puts his glass down and grabs hers. Sets its down and moves closer for a kiss as he starts to wrap his arms around her.)

Sweet sweet freedom indeed sweetie.
