In a high class mansion, a butler had come into the relaxation room of the mansions owner, Mr. Steel who was with a seemingly young looking girl.

Butler: "We've had complaints, Mr. Steel.
The special toilets built on the beach are overflowing. Waste is everywhere and maggots are swarming. A child even fell into it.
We don't have enough tents. We've had fired from those tents. Even a lion and a Komodo Dragon has escaped their cages! We don't have enough drinking water. The orientals are killing, cooking and eating the dogs. (What has Araki got against dogs?) The French are laying out on the beach with there dicks and tits hanging out and, because of it, a fight may break out!"

Now, Mr. Steel, was taking this like anyone else would: looking like he's about to have a

Mr. S: "Why you...
WHAT'S A KOMODO DRAGON DOING ON THE BEACH ANYWAY!? Understand this: you take care of the trouble! That's your job! That's what I'm paying you for!!"

Butler: "... But, Mr. Steel, too many unpredictable events are occurring now!
We predicted that there would be 500 participants in this race. There are only 2 days before it starts! About 2000 people from all across America on this beach, with more to come. The number of horses will be threefold and even more spectators and related guests will be coming.
We should celebrate this, yes, but there is a chance that this race will be over before it even begins!"

Mr. S: "Damn! ALL RIGHT! You can add another million, can't you! Do something about it! Go over the budget and increase our capacity fourfold!!
And tell those foreigners: If you have to eat dogs and show off your genitals, tell us why! And if they don't stop it, kick them out!! It may be part of there religion or culture, but so what!? As long as they're on my beach, they're under my rule!!"

The butler seemed to understand, no wanting to argue with his employer.

Butler: "okay then sir. We should move to another room, Mr. Steel. The Steel Ball Run Press Conference is about to start."

Mr. S: "Right. I'll be there soon."

Mr. Steel looked out of his window at the beach. Participants and spectators of the SBR race could be seen everywhere.
The butler left and as soon as he left, he just broke down into the arms of the girl.

Mr. S: "WWWAAAAAAAAA!! What am I going to doooooooo!!? I'M SOOO SCAAAAAARED!! What's going to happen if this goes bad? WHAT IF THIS RACE FALLS APART!!?"

Girl: "it's all right, Stephen. You've been a promoter for 40 years. Believe in yourself. Do your best, my dear!"

Mr. S: "okay then, I'll do my best."

Girl: "There there."

Now, in another room, Mr. Steel was answering questions and such about the Steel Ball Run race.

Interviewer 1: "Mr Stephen Steel, about the Steel Ball Run race that begins in 2 days...
You have repeatedly explained this before but please, explain it to the news readers around the world! We will then move onto the Q&A."

Stephen Steel was on a stage, talking through a microphone to the interviewees.

Mr. S: "The 'Steel Ball Run' race will start on September 25th, 1890, at 10am, on the Pacific San Diego Beach! The goal will be in New York, making it mankind's first North American Cross-country horseback race!!"
