Episode II: Upon meeting her maker, Ouanchu collapses. A wooden wheeled cart, manned by Hunchbacks, removes her lifeless body. Stopping a distance beyond sight of the Ordered World, they bury her underground (grave dance). Then they party, falling into a drunken sleep. One of them, Quasimodo, sensing her response, remains awake. He unearths and embraces Ouanchu.
His act of necrophilia revives her. Attempting to regain dignity under her gaze, he calls her "slave" and renames her "Cementeria."
At her command ("I don’t like you hunched over like that. Stand up straight."), Quasimodo, achieves good posture and health (song: CEMENTERIA).
Through hourly copulation, Cementeria maintains consciousness, and Quasimodo stands tall beside her. Together as a handsome couple, they return to the Ordered World, entering through the back.
Now a handsome couple, they establish residence within its most exclusive courtyard, the Courtyard of the Overlord. There they amass wealth (waltz). One evening at the local men’s club, while Cementeria is out playing host to a neighbor, Quasimodo confides about the secret to his success ("As long as we keep fucking…"). Necrophiliac bashers attack, but spare his life when he agrees to banishment. He tells Cementeria to leave with him ("Otherwise they will come for you, young lady, and take you back to your grave."). She declines his request.
Outside the gate, he accosts Mathilda, a restless Ordered World resident slumming in the wasteland. "Where’s Cementeria?" he asks. Her gossip directs him to an "empowerment lunch seminar" at the Overlord’s bank. She says that Cementeria is rumored to be among the "Host of Strippers" invited to attend. Quasimodo attempts to "crash" the seminar, frightening away the shorter strippers. Security guards remove him.
Mathilda’s next news is that Cementeria is with the Overlord. Continuing his search, Quasimodo persuades Mathilda to hike with him to the Ark Casino atop Mount Ararat to help him break the bank and force the appearance of the Overlord.
(Duet: "I’m out for blood"). They lose everything gambling at the casino. When the Overlord appears, it is to order their removal. Quasimodo finds Cementeria standing at his side.
A recruiter from the Wee Care Nail Salon buys Mathilda at a slave auction,
and a Lord at chancery sends Quasimodo to debtor’s prison.
When Quasimodo escapes, he finds Mathilda working at a nail salon. She demands money for breasts "like Cementeria’s." When Quasimodo agrees, she reveals the latest gossip, sending him on a journey to the United States, circa 1988, where Cementeria is engaged to be married to an undertaker’s son. Travelling, through the wasteland, Quasimodo sings of his love ("Hang my Head") as Cementeria dances with every man she meets.
