Acute Curtain Call Addiction

—With all due respect to the General Manager, that is surely impossible.
—It can't be helped. It's a direct order from the President.
—But last year was our 30th anniversary, so we invited the Naniwa Shinkigeki troupe.
—That's right. We amateur employees appeared in the play, read our assigned lines, and the troupe members praised our company while teasing the performers.
—That was it, wasn't it? We staged that curtain call. We had employee shareholders shout "Prez!" and applaud to make him give a speech.
—That's right. We even held a dress rehearsal.
—Honestly, a curtain call after that President's wooden delivery is impossible. We only got laughs because the troupe members all did a pratfall.
—The President must have misunderstood and thought he was the one who got the laughs. It's just like they say: once you've tried acting, you can't give it up.
—But still, it's just not possible.
—You think so too?
—I mean, having a curtain call after a regular shareholders' meeting is unheard of. We'll be the laughingstock of the world.
—The problem is how to convince the President.
—It seems impossible through normal means.
—Alright, let's have the industrial physician write a prescription. We'll tell the President that he can't do it because he's ill. The diagnosis? Let's call it "Acute Curtain Call Addiction."
