GUARD:
Hey Jim! Got you a visitor, Boy

SLATON:
Hello, Jim

CONLEY:

SLATON:
Yes

CONLEY

CHAIN GANG

SLATON:
When they found the body in the basement
Coroner's Report says there was sawdust in the mouth and lungs
CONLEY
Hey yeah

CHAIN GANG
Yeah

SLATON: Got any idea what that means?

CONLEY
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

CHAIN GANG
Yeah

SLATON:
Means she had to be breathin' in the basement
Because there isn't any sawdust on the second floor
Means she was alive when you carried her into the basement

CONLEY:
Then she musta come back to life
Because she was dead as last Christmas Eve when Mr. Frank showed me the body

We're gonna roll like thunder
