Jerry Harlowe————— Mrs. Harlowe—————

Man #1———————-

Several neighbors hope to find safety in the only bomb shelter on their street when an announcement comes over the radio that enemy missiles are approaching. Can it shelter all of them? Does its owner let them in? Here is the story…

The Shelter

SYNOPSIS OF ACT ONE: On a summer evening, a birthday celebration is going on at Dr. Stockton’s. Among those presents are his neighbors: the Hendersons, the Weiss’s and the Harlowes. In the midst of it comes unexpectedly over the radio the announcement of the President of the United States declaring a state of emergency for suspected enemy missiles approaching. The party breaks up and the neighbors hurry home.

However, shortly afterwards they return one after another to the Stockton house for the simple reason that they want to survive—want to share with the Stocktons the bomb shelter which is the only one on their street.

ACT TWO

OUTSIDE STOCKTON HOME

HENDERSON It’ll land any minute. I just know it. It’s going to land any minute—

MRS. HENDERSON (grabs hold of him) What are we going to do?

Throughout above and following dialogue, a portable radio carried by one of the children carries the following announcement:

MRS. HARLOWE Jerry, ask again.

HARLOWE Don’t waste your time. He won’t let anyone in. He said he didn’t have any room or supplies there and it’s designed for three people.

MRS. HENDERSON What’ll we do?

HARLOWE Maybe we ought to pick out just one basement and go to work on it. Pool all our stuff. Food, water, everything.

MRS. HARLOW It isn’t fair. (She points toward Stockton house) He’s down there in a bomb shelter completely safe. And our kids have to just wait around for a bomb to drop and—

HENDERSON Let’s just go down into his basement and break down the door?

A chorus of voices greet this with assent.

As HENDERSON rushes through toward the basement entrance, HARLOWE overtakes him saying:

HARLOWE Wait a minute, wait a minute. All of us couldn’t fit in there. That would be crazy to even try.

WEISS Why don’t we draw lots? Pick out one family?

HARLOWE What difference would it make? He won’t let us in.

HENDERSON We can all march down there and tell him he’s got the whole street against him. We could do that.

HARLOWE What good would that do? I keep telling you. Even if we were to break down the door, it couldn’t accommodate all of us. We’d just be killing everybody and for no reason.

MRS. HENDERSON If it saves one of these kids out here—I call that a reason.

The voice comes up again.

HENDERSON One family, meaning yours, Weiss, huh?

WEISS (whirls around to him) Why not? I’ve got a three-month-old infant—

MRS. HENDERSON What difference does that make? Is your baby’s life any more precious than our kids?

WEISS (shouting at her) I never said that. If you’re going to start trying to argue about who deserves to live more than the next one—

HENDERSON Why don’t you shut your mouth, Weiss? (with a wild, illogical anger) That’s the way it is when the foreigners come over here. Aggressive, greedy, semi-Americans—

WEISS (his face goes white) Why you garbage-brained idiot you—

MRS. HENDERSON It still goes, Weiss! I bet you are at the bottom of the list—

WEISS suddenly flings himself through the crowd toward the man and there’s a brief, hand-to-hand fight between them broken up by HARLOWE who stands between them breathless.

HARLOWE Keep it up, both of you. Just keep it up. We won’t need a bomb. We can slaughter each other.

MRS. WEISS (pleading) Marty, go down to Bill’s shelter again. Ask him—

WEISS I’ve already asked him. It wouldn’t do any good.

Once again the siren sounds and the people seem to move closer together, staring up toward the night sky. Off in the distance we see searchlights. from 12edu.cn

HARLOWE Searchlights. It must be coming closer.

HENDERSON (as he suddenly pushes HARLOWE aside and heads for the steps) I’m going down there and get him to open up that door. I don’t care what the rest of you think. That’s the only thing left to do.

MAN #1 He’s right. Come on, let’s do it.

INSIDE THE SHELTER

GRACE is holding tight to PAUL. STOCKTON stands close to the door listening to the noises from outside as they approach. There’s a pounding on the shelter door that reverberates.

OUTSIDE THE SHELTER

HENDERSON Bill? Bill Stockton? You’ve got a bunch of your neighbors out here who want to stay alive. Now open the door and talk to us and figure out with us how many can come in there. Or else you can just keep doing what you’re doing—and we’ll fight our way in there.

HARLOWE appears and pushes his way through the group and goes over to the shelter door.

HARLOWE Bill. This is Jerry. They mean business out here.

STOCKTON’S VOICE And I mean business in here. I’ve already told you, Jerry. You’re wasting your time. You’re wasting precious time that could be used for something else…like figuring out how you can survive.

MAN #1 Why don’t we get a big, heavy log to break the door down?

HENDERSON We could go over to Bennett Avenue. Phil Kline has some giant logs in his basement. I’ve seen them. Let’s get one. And we’ll just tell Kline to keep his mouth shut as to why we want it.

WEISS Let’s get hold of ourselves. Let’s stop and think for a minute—

HENDERSON (turning to face WEISS) Nobody cares what you think. You or your kind. I thought I made that clear upstairs. I think the first order of business is to get you out of here.

Throughout above and following dialogue, a portable radio carried by one of the children carries the following announcement:

ANNOUNCER’S VOICE This is Conelrad. This is Conelrad. We are still in a state of Yellow Alert. If you are a public official or government employee with an emergency assignment, or a civil defense worker, you should report to your post immediately. If you are a public official or government employee…
MRS. HARLOWE Jerry, ask again.
HARLOWE Don’t waste your time. He won’t let anyone in. He said he didn’t have any room or supplies there and it’s designed for three people.

The voice comes up again.

WEISS Jerry, you know him better than any of us. You’re his best friend. Why don’t you go down again? Try to talk to him. Plead with him. Tell him to pick out one family—Draw lots or something—
HENDERSON One family, meaning yours, Weiss, huh?
WEISS (whirls around to him) Why not? I’ve got a three-month-old infant—
