ACT 5 EXT. THE BRAMBLES, TENT - NIGHT Luke, anxious, addresses the crowd. No idea what to do. LUKE Thank you all for your patience. Ace is fine. Just hold on -- Luke catches eyes with Dottie, worried for a host of reasons. LUKE (CONT'D) Luke scurries under the curtain. Ace is not fine. He’s on his back, the seizure slowing. Nicky and Albie kneel beside him. NICKY Do your breathing. You’re okay. Nicky slips the shiny black rock from Greg into Ace’s hand. When the seizure finally ends, Luke approaches Ace... LUKE That was scary. You alright? ACE Yeah, Uncle Luke. Sorry. Something occurs to Nicky, who turns to Luke with rage -- NICKY Did you make him do this? ACE No. It was my idea. I wanted to surprise you. And Grandma. Nicky looks at Luke, sorry. A restless grumbling from the crowd. Luke starts to panic. LUKE You and dad need to get out there. Albie stands, the show must go on. Nicky looks at Ace, sees he’s fine. Wheels turn -- ACE Mom, go, I’m okay. Nicky shakes her head. And Nicky and my dad will be out to play you some classic Roman tunes.
