[Mozart's actually trying to work. He has things to write and he's pretty sure he is actually missing a few things. But there's some bedsheet ghost bothering him, trying to take his bedsheets and he just can't work under these conditions.]

Would anybody have any idea what is going on here? This creature keeps bothering me and I am trying to work.

[tries to not burst out laughing as the creature keeps bumping into the man on the screen.]

I don't think it's going to leave you alone until you meet its demands!

[extravagances]

I don't think so either. But I really do like my bedsheets is the problem.

[cut_and_kill]

Hm, they're especially important in this season. Can you trick it?

[extravagances]

I wonder.

Do you think maybe trying to wash it would do any good?

[cut_and_kill]

[laughs] You could certainly try, but it might drag you into the river with it!

[extravagances]

That sounds like it would be quite a problem. [He laughs as well. Good thing he has a good sense of humor.] I suppose I could just hand over the goods.

[cut_and_kill]

Ah, but are you really going down without a fight? You could try domesticating it!

[extravagances]

You see, I am a musician. Not a fighter. Giving it what it wants it seems like the much simpler choice here.

[cut_and_kill]

Ah, a musician! [looks excited!] Well! Perhaps you could steal them back from the thing later, if you don't want to fight.

[extravagances]

Yes! I am a musician and that is a possibility. Though it all seems like a lot of work.

[cut_and_kill]

One must be ready to sacrifice time and effort if one truly appreciates one's sheets, Musician-sensei.

[extravagances]

Musician-sensei? Ah, you can call me Maestro if you would prefer it since I most certainly would. But hmm, how correct. I suppose I do not value my sheets very much.

[cut_and_kill]

Maestro-san? [Just thinks it's a name, dude!] Then you could readily give them up.

[extravagances]

Just Maestro. [He doesn't understand anything about Japanese culture, so!] But I think I might. I really am a busy fellow.

[cut_and_kill]

[all these foreigners what is he to do with them. He'll just add the honorifics in his head, then!] Ah, I'm sorry for keeping you-- Maestro! It must be very time-consuming, making music.[He's got not even the slightest clue, only sees musicians in plays. He doesn't even visit the red-light district to hear the women play.]

[extravagances]

Oh, it is. You must always practice, compose, conduct, and play for the people. I love my work and I strive for it to be the best, but it is very busying.
