Chapter 13: Yesterday’s Enemy

MC: I’m sorry this is all of a sudden. I want to to tell you directly what I’m going to do after all this.

Salty Dog: It’s really alright! So this is going to be really important, huh?

Martini: What’s going on? Did you come up with a strategy to destroy those guys?

Tom Collins: Martini... You shouldn’t say harsh things like that

Martini: Don’t act like such a goody-goody, your fucking highness.

Emerald Mist: Every time the two of you get together, don’t you think you both start sounding the same when you talk?

*step step*

Long Island Iced Tea: You have something to say to everyone? Are we handing out flyers again?

*step step*

White Lady: I really don’t like long conversations, so can you make it short please?

MC: As for the bar....I’ve decided to leave the bar closed for a while. That, and please don’t do anything like looking for the deed on your own. That is all.

Martini: Huh...? You wanna say that one more time?

MC: I’m telling you, I’m going to close the bar. We have people getting hurt, so we can’t work like this.

White Lady: What do you mean? You’re going to start listening to those thugs? You couldn’t possibly think that.

Emerald Mist: So you’re going to close the place up for a short while like when the bar was broken into before.

MC: I’m not saying that I’m going to listen to what the Yabai group is telling us. I’ve decided to think about yours and our customer’s safety.

Long Island Iced Tea: But when you think about it, doesn’t that mean that in the end, you’re going to close down the bar completely one day?

Salty Dog: Huh?? No, I don’t want that to happen!

MC: Well....

White Lady: That’s the same as obeying their orders. I won’t let you.

Tom Collins: Saying that you’re going to listen to their orders is pretty much saying the bar is going to be demolished. That’s different than saying you’re going to have the place closed for a long time. So you’re saying that you understand we will never be able to go back to that place then?

Martini: If you want to quit, then quit by yourself! You fucking coward!

Long Island Iced Tea: Stop it! Let’s listen to what she has to say for now. She probably has an idea up her sleeve.

Martini: You’d listen to what a coward like this has to say?

*step step*

Moulin Rouge: There he goes again... Please, excuse me. I’m gonna go see what’s going on.

*step step*

MC: (I knew Martini wouldn’t understand)

Salty Dog: Ahh, what do we do? Did Martini leave us again?

MC: We can’t help it if he doesn’t understand. This is better than everyone getting hurt.

Tequila Sunrise: I guess you and Martini are gonna have a huge fight after this. If that happens then it’ll be Tom Collins’s job to be the mediator. Tom Collins?

Tom Collins: I’m sorry, but I won’t allow it.

MC: Huh?

Tom Collins: That bar is precious to me. If you take it away from me, even if it is you, I won’t forgive you. I can’t forgive you... I’m going to keep working. I have no intentions of listening to what you have to say.

*step step*

Long Island Iced Tea: Did that just happen?

MC: (I thought at least Tom Collins....why doesn’t he understand?)

Kiss in the Dark: I’m also sorry, but I can’t agree with what you’re saying either. If what happened to me is the reason for all this, then I want you to reconsider, because there is no reason to think that with just an injury like this.

Pink Lady: Of course, I’m also worried about people getting hurt. And I have no interest in tackling these problems head on, however, I am against you closing the bar. I can’t think of that place just going away.

Manhattan: Right, I’d rather we closed for just a short time. But I can’t overlook the bar closing down.

Blue Moon: I won’t let that place disappear. It’ll be alright if I keep working there. I’ll be there so you don’t have to worry. No matter how many people come, they won’t be involved in any of this.

MC: Why... Why aren’t any of you listening to me!? Why don’t you understand that you’re all going to suffer from this?

White Lady: Maybe the one who doesn’t understand is you? I hate that you’re listening to those guys. We want to keep on working. See ya around.

*step step*

MC: Everyone, why...
