| Q: What is that West Covina Gloria Harding hits Ida with to wake her up? A: It's a stun gun. No one had a defribbalator handy. You also might assume she's had to do this to Ida before. My theory is that they're related; sisters or cousins, maybe. Q: Why was Ida in that box? A: That's where she goes to die. It probably happens a lot. |

| Q: Although West Covina Gloria Harding says otherwise, you do realize that several people have been convicted of murder even though no body was found, right? A: Yup, I knew that--and one just happened recently in this state! In fact, I even thought of having one of the characters bring it up, and having Gloria slap him for it--but it was just too clunky. Besides, which of the band members would say that? Artie's too dumb to know that, and Carl would know better than to bring it up. As for West Covina Gloria Harding, well, why confuse our heroes with the details--the concept is pretty sound: No Body, No Crime. And although it's possible to convict without a body, it's really really difficult. Basically, disposing of the body is a good rule of thumb. For those of you trying to play along at home. Q: Where'd you come up with the idea of using a power drill to prepare the bodies? That seems pretty detailed. A: Well, a lot of that came from some stuff I'd read about Murder, Incorporated, and how they would prepare bodies by tying them up in a shower and letting the blood run out. It seemed likely that West Covina Gloria Harding had some mafia ties, so there you go. |
| Q: Yes, but why a drill? A: Well, the thing is, Broom Street Theater doesn't have a whole lot of tools, so sometime you have to make do with what you have. For instance, we have a drill, but no saw. So if you're working alone, and you need a piece of wood cut in half, you just drill a hole in it and it's easy to just break. So I thought, wouldn't this work on bones, too? These are the things I think of when I'm in the theater alone. |

| Q: Why does Artie shoot a gun in an airplane? A: Because he's a fucking moron. And let's face it, he's responsible for almost everything that goes wrong in the play. After he shoots Jmmy Junior, I think it's pretty well established that Artie's not really a good choice to be your lifeline on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. Click here for more... |
