Welcome to "Ruby's Place", a popular speakeasy. Tonight
is a memorial service for Vito "The Gut" Marzetti, who
was gunned down last week in a gangland slaying. As a dear friend
of Vito's, you have been invited to pay your honorable respects
to the family: JOEY "The Lump" Marzetti, the
youngest son (a bootlegger, and he ain't overly bright), RUBY
"Fingers" Marzetti, Joey's sister and a manger of the
speakeasy (an ex-showgirl, she is street-wise and smart), FRANKIE
"Marbles" Marzetti, the eldest of the three (he rarely
shows glimpses of his own personality, preferring to hide out
in various alter egos), LENA Marzetti, the grieving young
widow (despite the difference in their ages, and the fact that
Vito tipped the scales at 300 lbs., they seemed happy enough):
If you wish, please be prepared to give a short eulogy for poor
Vito.
Prizes awarded to best Roaring Twenties costume! (Vito woulda
want it that way) And please no G-Men! That means you, Special
Agent D. FARMER!
