I even asked Mr. Kato to send over footage of any of Bakuno's previous stage performances.)

Nene
We're heading over to the airport to shoot that scene again after lunch, right? So, we think you should eat while you can.
Tsukasa
Which is why we brought you a hearty barbeque lunch! This was the last one they had, so you should consider yourself lucky!
Rin
<Nene's got a Japanese-style lunch, Emu's looks Western, and Tsukasa's having some sandwiches!>
Tsukasa
Good point. Normally, you would expect them to provide the same meal for everyone.
Tsukasa
But considering how many people are working on this film, there must be a wide range of preferences, and they've given us a few choices to meet everyone's needs!
Emu
Getting to choose our lunches is really nice!
But wouldn't it be even nicer if we could choose what's inside?!

Emu
Take Rui's lunch for example. It's a big barbeque lunch that's chock-full of meat and vegetables, right?
Emu
But Rui hates vegetables.
So, wouldn't it make him happier if he were allowed to have no veggies?!

Nene
It wouldn't be much of a “barbeque” lunch if you did that. Also, you're basically talking about a buffet.

...is how I'd like you to do this scene now.

Ohara
You look like you're out of breath.
Is something wrong?
Is something wrong?
Ohara
Yes, I was just discussing my new plan for it with Bakuno.
Ohara
It hit me last night. My friend said he'd rethink the scene to fit Reki Bakuno better, but I thought I'd been doing that up to this point.
Ohara
But further editing what we had didn't give me the answer. Which meant that the problem didn't lie there.

Ohara
Looks like we landed on the same answer.
Ohara
This screenplay is based on the original novel. As such, the lines for each character are more or less all taken straight from it.
Rui
Right. In particular, the climax scene is completely faithful to the dialogue in the book.
Ohara
Exactly. Unfortunately, that dialogue is intended to have maximum impact when read as a part of a novel.
Ohara
In other words...
It won't necessarily translate well over to film.

Rui
Yes, but... These lines aren't bad or anything. This scene still works with them in place.
Rui
We may not have run into any problems if we were working with a different cast. However...
Ohara
Precisely.
Rui
So, as important as it is to stay faithful to the original story, the lines for this scene need to suit Bakuno's style better.
Ohara
Oh...?
Ohara
Haha. I see...
Even you decided to stop there.

Ohara
That won't be enough, Kamishiro.
I'm thinking about going even further.

Ohara
Credit where credit's due, you did better than most would in your situation. I commend you for that.
Ohara
But I'd be out of a job if a filmmaking novice like you managed to come up with the same answer as me.
Ohara
It's time to show all you youngsters.
Ohara
You're going to see what Tomomi Ohara is really capable of.
