(I just have to do a bunch of shows and get a bunch of people to come and watch so that my brothers won't have to put in new rides or attractions! They'll understand!)
Otori Household - Living Room
Shosuke
At last, things are starting to move along. It took so long just to get to this point...
Keisuke
The Trampoline Dome seems like a viable candidate. It's a low-yield attraction that's only meant for children so...

Tsukasa
Indeed. It's been one of your favorites since you were little. We'd always go to the Trampoline Dome, but you kept begging us to go back in for seconds or even thirds.

Emu
There are tons of people that love the Trampoline Dome! And they'll all be super sad if you do tear it down!
Shosuke
Sad...? There's no way anyone in their right mind would feel an attachment to that thing.
Shosuke
Oh, fine. A small handful of people aside, even they'll end up forgetting about it as time passes.
Shosuke
And if our negotiations tomorrow go as planned, you'll start seeing new rides and attractions pop up left and right. Everyone will be drawn much more to those too, obviously.
Keisuke
Tomorrow, we'll be meeting with Riley Entertainment to finalize a licensing agreement that will allow us to use their characters.
Keisuke
As I'm sure you're already aware, Riley Entertainment produces and distributes films, some of which have become blockbusters that spawned a variety of popular characters.
Keisuke
Phoenix Wonderland will have themes centering around these characters from now on.
Keisuke
Plus, it's a simple fact that Riley Entertainment's characters have the respect and adoration of young fans all over.
Keisuke
If we can tap into that demographic, this park will advertise itself through social media and let us earn revenue more efficiently since it would save us the trouble of having to do so ourselves.
Keisuke
That is why we arrived upon overhauling this park's theme. Any rides or attractions that don't fit with this theme will be removed as a result.
Keisuke
But don't worry. The Wonder Stage will remain a key piece as long as it can attract visitors...
Shosuke
Sigh... You're still spouting what that geezer used to say? His old adages just don't help us get visitors!
Emu
And I know that we don't have as many rides and stuff as the bigger parks, or that what we have won't get as many visitors as we could...!
Emu
But everyone that came before has fond memories of the Trampoline Dome and Haunted House. They still remember it all...!
Emu
Keisuke and Shosuke were talking about partnering with another company to tear down a bunch of rides and stuff...!

Emu
But I'm really worried that everyone that came before will be really sad or disappointed if it really does happen!
Emu
Grandpa always said that he wanted to make it a place where everyone can laugh and smile...
Shosuke
Do you finally understand? We won't make it just by pandering to your whims and needs.

Rui
Yes. But since we're discussing what to put into our program, it seemed like a good idea to gather as many plays, books and scripts as we could.
KAITO
Deciding which to choose may be difficult, but I'm looking forward to reading through these.
Rui
Oh? I'm surprised that someone such as yourself can't see through what's going on in this scene.
Nene
So doesn't that make the first one the best choice? It's easy to understand and interesting...

Tsukasa
Hm? Where could Emu have gone off to? She's usually talking my ear off when we do things like this...

Rui
I see no problem with that. Let's add Emu into our discussion and choose where to go from here.
Rui
Oh, but I do have one suggestion. What if we put a trampoline in the middle of the stage? Wouldn't that be something to see?
Tsukasa
And the kids that come and see our show would want to go to the Trampoline Dome right after!
Nene
I can see that. It'll probably be a lot more fun than usual too, after seeing something like that.
