COMPANY:
Tuesday!
(Spoken)
JANICE:
September 11th, 2001.
Any available community buildings
will be converted into shelters
with thousands of passengers arriving at any minute.
The town is asking for help with --
well, anything you can do.
(Sung)
BEULAH:
Crystal, I saw on the news
that they're looking for blankets and bedding and maybe some food
WOMAN:
Do you know what they need
and how much?
WOMAN:
I need something to do
WOMEN:
'Cause I can't watch the news anymore
ANNETTE:
Can I help? Is there something
I need to do. Something
to keep me from thinking of
all of those scenes on the tube.
WOMAN:
I need something to do
'Cause I can't watch the news
WOMEN:
No, I can't watch the news anymore
In the winter
From the water
Through the wind
If a stranger ends up at your door
BEULAH:
You get on a horn!
(Spoken)
Hello, this is Beulah Davis down at the Academy. I heard we might be getting some guests and I thought I'd see if I could help who's ever in charge of getting the school organized. How many passengers can we take? Oh, well, we fit about 400 students-
Yes, we could probably do 600-
Or sure, 700 if we really pack 'em in.
When are they coming?
Could be anytime now?
Well, I'm glad I phoned.
(Spoken)
OZ:
I get a call from Beulah
Looking for anything 700 people
From around the world might need
So, I go down to Shoppers and the manager says to just take what I want off the shelves. Toothbrushes, floss, mouthwash, deodorant.
And I'm back at the school when Beulah says:
BEULAH:
You know, those planes probably got some babies on 'em...
OZ:
So I'm back to Shoppers for diapers
and we're unpacking 'em when Annette says:
ANNETTE:
You know, those babies are probably gonna be hungry...
OZ:
So I'm back to Shoppers for formula and baby food and when I get back Beulah says:
BEULAH:
You know, those planes are probably filled with women of childbearing age...
OZ:
So...
BEULAH:
So I'm back to Shoppers
To pick up as many pads and TAMPONS as they have!
JANICE:
The Baptist church needs a hand moving their pews. Doctor O'Brien down at the pharmacy is ready to fill any prescriptions. Oh, and the Lions Club is looking for some toilet paper,
If you have any extra.
(Sung)
ANNETTE:
Medicine
MARGIE:
Toothpaste
MARTHA:
Underwear
BEULAH:
Aspirin
CRYSTAL AND ANNETTE:
Jackets our kids grew out of last summer
JANICE:
And down at the station we're taking donations out by the door
WOMEN:
Holy Jesus, there's more!
ANNETTE:
It's better than being at home alone
wondering what's really happening
MARGIE:
Everyone's phoning!
ANNETTE AND BEULAH:
We're setting up rooms in the schools
MARGIE:
Been crying all afternoon
wondering what could be done!
MEN:
What do we need?
(Spoken)
ANNETTE:
I made a tray of sandwiches
BEULAH:
We need 50 more
ANNETTE:
Sandwiches?
BEULAH:
Trays!
(Sung)
MEN:
What do we need?
(Spoken)
MAN:
200 gym mats. Is that enough?
BEULAH:
You tell me and we'll both know
(Sung)
MEN:
What do we need?
(Spoken)
JANICE:
For the love of God, stop bring toilet paper to the Lions Club!
(Sung)
MEN:
How do you know what you need
When you don't know how many
You're needing to feed
When you don't know how many are staying
How long they are staying
We better start praying the weather stays nice
(Overlapping)
WOMEN:
In the winter from the water through the wind
In the winter from the water through the wind
In the winter from the water through the wind
ALL:
In the winter from the water through the wind. If a stranger ends up sent by fate...
(Spoken)
ANNETTE:
Are we gonna be ready?
BEULAH:
Well. We have to be. Don't we?
