Maggie's Movies: Camera, Action!/Theater Lobby

This is the sixth and final chapter in Maggie's Movies - Camera, Action. After the show is complete, Maggie continues and makes the movie before distributing into the theater. All of a sudden, Grandpa's theater has a buyer, so it's renovated!

## Level 51

* Maggie and Diego enter the lobby.
* Maggie: Wow, this place has really changed!
* Maggie: Ted did a great job.
* Diego: Yeah… Pity theater has a buyer...
* Maggie: And it's not the buyer any of us wanted...
* Maggie: …..but the only one we have.
* Diego: The condo developers, you think they...
* Maggie: They are not interested in running this place.
* Maggie: Which means the theater will no longer continue.
* Diego: So what are we going to do?
* Maggie: I don't know. I will go back to Hollywood.
* Maggie: If you want to stay here, Diego, there are some options for you.
* Maggie: I've already been talking to the property management company they use.
* Maggie: They're going to read maintenance staff, property managers...
* Diego: Maggie!
* Diego: I means what are we going to do now? With the theatre...
* Diego: Let's run it for next couple of weeks.
* Diego: At least it will stay in people's hearts.
* Maggie: Yes, Diego, you are right!
* Diego: Great! I'm going to turn on the projector.
* Diego: Making films is fun, but I missed screening movies in the cinema.

### After the level

* Maggie: I can't believe this is it...
* Bill appears.
* Bill: All good things must come to an end.
* Maggie: I know but...
* Maggie: ...the theater...
* Maggie: ...it's been such a mainstay in this town for so long.
* Maggie: It's one of the last old business on the Main Street.
* Bill: You did your best.
* Maggie: Did I?
* Bill disappears.
* Maggie: Did I, really?

## Level 52

* Charles: So, if you'll sign where indicated...
* Maggie puts the paper down. Bill appears.
* Maggie: What do I do?
* Charles: Just sign where the arrows indicate.
* Bill: I can't make that decision for you, Tater Tot.
* Maggie: This is even harder then I thought it would be.
* Charles: Er… uou can use the large orange arrow stickers to guide you.
* Bill: Take some time to think about it, then.
* Bill disappears.
* Maggie: No... no that won't be necessary.
* Charles: Great! To be honest, I only add them in case...
* Maggie: I'm not selling the theater.
* Charles takes the paper then he leaves. Maggie goes back to work.

### During the level

* Maggie repels the businessmen wanting to buy the theater!
	+ Maggie: I told you - it's not for sale.
	+ "Maybe you can reconsider?"
	+ "The theatre will collapse - and you know it!"

	+ "Don't be so stubborn - sell it when you have a chance."
	+ "I can give you a better deal than before!"
	+ "It was your last chance!"

### After the level

* Diego: You want to hold your premiere here?
* Diego: What about Bauman's Egyptian Theater?
* Maggie: What does Bauman's mean to me?
* Maggie: Nothing. This place is a part of my legacy.

* Diego: But Bauman's is glamorous, flashy...
* Diego: Plus it's in Hollywood.
* Diego: What's going to come all the way out here for a movie premiere?

* Maggie: What could be better than working for Cinefilm?
* Ted: Working for you.
* Ted: Diego has told me about the premiere.
* Ted: This is really serious, Maggie.
* Ted: You gonna need some help with preparations.
* Ted: Congrats on the film, by the way.
* Maggie: Ted... that is so sweet...

* Maggie: They're both in the middle of shoots.
* Maggie: They're not going to be able to fly here for the premiere.
* Diego: Shoot!
* Diego: That would have gotten the theater A LOT of publicity from the local media.
