GENERAL GLOSSOP
KOJIMA, you're all talk an' no result!...

BISHOP OF BASINGSTOKE
Forever asking us to pay for empty promises!

SIR ARCHIBALD PROOPS
What's all the mystery? Much ado about nothing, if you ask me...

LADY BEACONSFIELD
You're the laughing stock of writers and game designers
The mad ruseman!

STRIDE
Order! Order!

KOJIMA
Distinguished shareholders,
I have glimpsed the future.
Made engines that stun the mind
With the best story we can find
To make the best game in mankind.
And I can show it to you
If you wish me to.

Sirs, you're aware there are motives to each of us
In this case, it is revenge and hate.
Now our hero will fight those who make him feel thus,
I tell you, this adventure will be great!
A man with such a strong lust for revenge
And mourns for the loss of his friends!
We’ll make limb and comrade both be avenged
Before Big Boss’s story ends!

I'm close to writing the end of Metal Gear’s tale
Planned out meticulously, which could and would
Show where Vic Boss’s sense of morality fails
Finishing Metal Gear Solid for good!
Weigh the potential, the great possibilities
Konami, dear friends, understand!
We have a chance to make history here in our hand!

[spoken]
Each of us is the feels a strong force when we suffer a significant loss -
A “phantom pain” - and it fights for control inside us.
If I could write about this mystery force,
It could be the vehicle for my greatest story of all time.
My editors and focus team have encouraged me
that the day is not far off when this script will be complete. A perfect cherry
On the top of a brilliant engine and meticulous game design!

BISHOP OF BASINGSTOKE
[spoken]
And what if you're right, Kojima? And you do manage make the best game in the world. What happens to our money!?

JEKYLL
[sung]
We have millions of bucks, gath’ring dust in a bank
Or used on pachinko otherwise!
In the name of vidya games and technical science,
I’ll make my best game, just do as I advise!
