Prologue - Mankai Company
Gangster-Looking Guy: How d'ya like my backhoe, huh?! It's buff! It's tough!
Mopheaded Guy: Nooo! Have mercy!
Izumi: (What is happening?! And how did he get that thing here?)
Gangster-Looking Guy: Hey, boss! You sure you want this busted up?
Yakuza-Looking Guy: Do it, Sakoda. Just the sign, though. We'll be renovating the rest of the building into a cabaret.
Sakoda: You're the boss, boss!
Mophead Guy: Hey, that's not for you to decide!
Izumi: (Wait a minute, I think I've seen that sign before.)
Sakoda: It's what the boss wants, buddy! Good thing I got this special permit to wield this thing around!
Mopheaded Guy: Please, stop!
Sakoda: Outta the way!
Izumi: Excuse me, what are you doing?! People could get hurt!
Yakuza-Looking Guy: That's what I just warned you about.
Izumi: And just how was I supposed to know that!
Mopheaded Guy: Please, Furuichi! You can't do this!
Izumi: Yeah! How can you ignore someone's heartfelt pleas?!
Furuichi: I told you I was going to repurpose this place if your debt wasn't fully paid off by closing night.
Mopheaded Guy: Closing night is tonight! We might be able to pay down the interest if we get any income with this show!
Furuichi: Sakoda, stop.
Sakoda: You're the boss, boss!
Furuichi: You got any audience so far?
Mopheaded Guy: N-Not yet.
Furuichi: How long until the play starts?
Mopheaded Guy: Three minutes.
Furuichi: Sakoda, back to it.
Sakoda: You're the boss, boss!
Mopheaded Guy: Whoa-whoa-whoa, HOLD UP! We're getting some audience right now!
Furuichi: Where? I'm not seeing any.
Mopheaded Guy: Well, uh...
Izumi: (I can feel a pair of eyes burning holes in me...)
Mopheaded Guy: I'm sure there's SOMEONE around here SOMEWHERE...
Izumi: Yeah, you're speaking to her.
Mopheaded Guy: Yeah, see?! There you go!
Furuichi: You don't say. I thought you were just 'Passerby A'.
Izumi: You want evidence? Here's my flyer.
Mopheaded Guy: Wait, you really are a guest?
Izumi: There's always time for more people to come in. About 2 minutes, if I'm right. Why don't you at least hold off until we've seen the play?
Furuichi: Have you even seen this troupe's production lately?
Izumi: Hm? No, why?
Furuichi: Yeah, didn't think so.
Izumi: I haven't seen them perform, but I know I've seen this theater's signboard at some point.
Izumi: I think I came here back when I was a kid...
Furuichi: ...So that's it.
Mopheaded Guy: Anyway, uh, just watch the play! This one's a new production with a fresh new face!
Furuichi: You added someone to your troupe?
Mopheaded Guy: That I did! Wouldn't it be awful if his theater got demolished before he could even put on his first play?
Furuichi: Sakoda, stand by for a while.
Sakoda: You're the boss, boss!
Mopheaded Guy: Um...
Furuichi: Well, let's get this over with.
Mopheaded Guy: Yes, sir!
Furuichi: You're good sitting here, right?
Izumi: Huh? Oh, yeah, sure!
Izumi: (Right in the middle, and stuck next to this guy...)
Announcer: Thank you for attending our production tonight.
Izumi: (But seriously, the place is a ghost town other than the two of us. Are they going to just go out on stage like this?)
Furuichi: Buckle up, 'cause this is what you signed up for.
Izumi: (What's that supposed to mean?)
