A line from Hotel Manager

Now the fact that you will turn into an animal if you fail to fall in love with someone during your stay here is not something that should upset you or get you down. Just think, as an animal you'll have a second chance to find a companion. But, even then, you must be careful; you need to choose a companion that is a similar type of animal to you. A wolf and a penguin could never live together, nor could a camel and a hippopotamus. That would be absurd.

Now have you thought of what animal you'd like to be if you end up alone?

Yes. A lobster.

Hotel Manager

Why a lobster?

Because lobsters live for over one hundred years, are blue-blooded like aristocrats, and stay fertile all their lives. I also like the sea very much.

Hotel Manager

We wish you every success and we hope, you will return to the city as a couple.

The Limping Man

I'm very happy.

Nosebleed Woman

Me, too.

Hotel Manager

Congratulations The course of your relationship will be monitored closely.by our staff and by me personally. If you encounter any problems, any tensions, any arguing, that you cannot resolve yourselves, you will be assigned children. That usually helps, a lot.
