Sigworth: What’s your name, ma’am?
Lori: Um, Lori. Mitchell. Is everything… ok?
Sigworth: Oh, nevermind Miss Diaz. She and I don’t always see eye to eye. Now, it’s a pleasure to meet you, Miss Mitchell. Like I mentioned, I happened to catch bits and pieces of your story — my apologies for listening in.
Sigworth: I believe I have an opportunity you just might be interested in. I work for a privately run research facility just outside of town, and we’re looking to bring on a temporary assistant to help us with our workload as we deal with some, er, turnover within the team. You’d be filing reports, doing simple research, busy work like that.
Lori: Okay…
Sigworth: Now, our current offer is a stipend of $3,000 for 3 weeks commitment. But, if you’re really interested, I could talk to my boss about $4,000. What do you say?
Lori: Uh, wow. I… I’m not sure what to say, honestly.
Sigworth: Ha, no need to decide right now! I’ll give you my card—take some time to think it over, and if you want in, come see me. No appointment nece—
Marisol: Okay, time’s up.
Sigworth: That’s my cue, I suppose. Take care, Miss Mitchell—I do hope to see you soon! Excellent service as always, Marisol. Roswell certainly appreciates your hospitality.
Lori: Wow. That was… something. Definitely feels too good to be true.
Marisol: Sounds about right. He gave you his research assistant pitch, I assume?
Lori: Yeah…
Marisol: I know the predicament you’re in, but I would be very wary of those folks, Lori. Couple years back their whole team of scientists rolled into town acting like they own the place, and they’ve been stirring up trouble ever since. Sigworth, he’s not even that high up on the totem pole, but boy does he like to pretend… Whatever, he’s a jerk. But there’s a reason he offered you the job, and I hardly imagine he has your best interest in mind.
Lori: Oh… noted.
Marisol: Hey, it’ll be okay. We’ll find you something better here in town. In the meantime, welcome to your new home! Another round?

This performance gives me chills! It is absolutely stunning. The phenomenal voices of Brian Stokes Mitchell and Audra McDonald soar to the heavens as they sing "On the Wheels of a Dream," from the Broadway musical Ragtime.
