Sleuth in Duluth (Reprise)

Role in the Story
Detective Case wraps up this part of her story and this part of her memoir, reflecting on how the cast of A Circus Steamboat Murder helped her get her start as a famous detective, despite how insane the night was. The performance ends with her putting away her hat and trench coat... just as, in our current day, gets a phone call and comes out of retirement to solve yet another case. And, of course, to avoid writing the next chapter of her memoir.

Performers

 * Carolee Carmello as Detective Case
 * Jessica Keenan Wynn as Justine Case

Lyrics
[DETECTIVE CASE]

First a boom

[JUSTINE]

First a boom

[DETECTIVE CASE]

Then a shout

[JUSTINE]

Then a shout

[BOTH]

Then I figured it out

Now my career was on its way

[DETECTIVE CASE]

All the turns

[JUSTINE]

All the turns

[DETECTIVE CASE]

All the twists

[JUSTINE]

All the twists

[BOTH]

I was born for this

[JUSTINE]

Though, I'm never going to see another play

[DETECTIVE CASE]

There was a rookie in Minnesota

Who finally got to take her place

On the Hall of Fame wall of Duluth Detectives

Thanks to that fucked up case

[BOTH]

There was a rookie in Minnesota

Who quietly hung up her hat

Finally put down her notebook

Hung her trench coat on the coat hook

Poured a drink and that was...
