Scene two:Sally and Frankenstein Guy are sitting in an RV in a fold out double bed. Pete sings: "Sally couldn't rest until she knew if Nora could be saved Her dreams showed Nora white and still dreaming of the grave Tommy's mother wasn't dead, but very close to dying The doctors had given her up for good, shaking their heads and sighing. Sally saw Nora in her bedroom mirror, clothed in angel white Nora was convinced she'd played her part and could slip into the night" Nora stands seemingly in an empty grey space of nowhere, clothed in a soft white robe, her face for once free of all makeup, her body of all adornments save the simple gown. She seems peaceful, happy, but somehow something is wrong...she seems to be trying to convince someone of something. Nora sings: "My mother loving was all I gave him What more could anyone need? I loved and cared for him for years and then when he was freed I let him stand where he should be Within the spotlights glow Tommy had the answers The world needed to know...." Sally appears standing in front of Nora, sings: "Your son Tommy is just a person like any other person. His eyes don't hold the oceans secrets His hands can't bring salvation. You think you're a saviour's mother But you are just a woman Who loves her son a little too well And believes in his perfection." Nora: "When Tommy was deaf dumb and blind I wanted to save his soul. If I could reach him he'd be saved, He'd be healed and whole. It was all my fault that he retreated deep into his mind I had to give my life to his to save him from my crime. When I smashed the mirror that day, I took back all I'd done Tommy was free and made of light And he shone just like the sun." Sally: "Tommy's no saint, he's just a sinner just like you and me. He's got no magic formula to save humanity. He believed for a while he could save the world from being just like him But he found that no one wants to think that they can sin They'd rather be deaf dumb and blind Than think their hearts are darkened. The ocean of tears in Tommy's eyes Can't wash away their falseness." Nora: "Who are you anyway? You don't understand. You're not our family. No one asked you to come here patronising me. I must speak with Tommy one last time, before I leave forever. That's why I wait in this strange place with a love time cannot sever." Nora lays down seemingly on nothing, and closes her eyes. The scene of a hospital room fades in around her until we see she is sleeping in a hospital bed, obviously in a coma. Frank sits by her side. Frank, to Sally who sits at the other side of the bed: "If Tommy had been the messiah he'd have the power of resurrection, Not only sleep, but death itself could not stand against him. But when the world turned against us Tommy ran away from reason I can see that all this time Tommy was just a person." Sally: "Nora believed in miracles and her faith was rewarded. Her son spoke and saw again and heard her say she loved him But Tommy didn't make that miracle Tommy is only human." Scene fades and Sally is sitting in the bed of the RV, her head against her husband's shoulder. She traces a path on the map spread out on the bed. Sally: "Wherever they are that's where we'll go I just know I have to find them. My part is to be what I will be If I can only unwind it."
