The book quotes from The Days of '98 Show co-scriptwriter Steve Hites on page 167: "At this moment, a blank is fired off stage, and a loud report of the gunshot in the closed space of the theater sounds like a cannon going off. People jump, scream and yell in surprise, then laugh self-consciously: it’s perfect theater. The Narrator smiles knowingly at the audience and continues. “. . . And sent poor Soapy home.”"
