[Victor sounds a bit nervous about putting out an open channel. He's still covered in dirt and you can see his shovel lent against a tree in the distance.]
There's something on right? A show? [He pauses.] One of you could have told me, you know. I was just burying Ms. McPhearson. The treating was all done, and all.
[He stops, shuffles uncomfortably.]
I don't know about this one. My father told me there were lots of bodies after the last show. [Victor looks away from the camera, and you can see him look over to the other side of the graveyard. There's a collection of gravestones there, a little outside of the respectable parts of the graveyard.]
I'm going to see the show. [He sighs.] Tell me if anyone else passes while I'm gone.
[Victor is the local slightly rejected mortician and grave digger, who handles the bodies and lays them to rest. He thinks he's referring to the dead from the last time the show came through, but he might be mistaken. The removed gravestones could just be non-religious people. Feel free to make up some town mythology to correct him.]
