| Frequently Asked Spoilers Pt. 2 (once again, don't read this if you haven't seen the show!) |
| Q: Why do they take the bodies from the bus crash with them onto the plane? Wouldn't it be smarter to just leave them there? A: If we were talking about people who were rational and sane, yes. But everyone's so paranoid at that point, they can only think to do what West Covina Gloria Harding told them last: No Body, No Crime. They are still following her orders to the end, because she's the only one who's ever given them advice that's worked. |
| Q: So, what happened to the plane? Why did it crash? A: The short version is that the only one who really knows how to fly it (F.Z.) is dead, and Artie at the wheel is like a manatee at the wheel. Also, let's take into account that they've already had to make one forced landing earlier. Personally, I think (I don't really "know" since Carl is the narrator and he wouldn't have this knowledge) that there was some severe structural damage done to the plane, and it's flying so low it's doing more damage... ...Lets face it, the plane is kind of a beater. When Artie grabs the yoke, he can't pull it back, because the plane's fighting him, but it eases up--Artie thinks it's because he's gained control of it, but really, it's because the wings just came off. And so you see how his last words are, shall we say, kinda optimistic. |
| Q: So, what happens to Carl and Misty after the play? Do they die? A: Well, first let me remind you that the beginning of the play is the end and vice-versa; in fact, from time to time, during the show, there's a light and sound cue that denotes that Carl's in the raft. But as far as what happens to him after the lights go down? Well, as I said to the cast: "Do we really want to think about Carl and Misty getting to the Urine-Drinking-Cannibal stage?" |

| However, here's one thing to think about (or chew on, as it were): At the beginning of the show, Carl is in the raft...alone. |
