BENJAMIN is down on his back, DORCAS is sitting on top of HIM. The TOWNSPEOPLE enter stage right and view the seemingly wild Bacchanalian orgy from a distance. MATT can stand it no longer.

PRANK sees the TOWNSFOLK and sheepishly raises his hands in surrender. ALL the BROTHERS are huddled together at gunpoint by the TOWNSFOLK. The GIRLS move in a group DOWN . LEFT. )
